what are latch hook braids?

[tHENATuRALhAiRpRoJEcT]

ok, I guess what i'm really asking is what are latch hook braids?

are they the same thing as crochet braids? My aunt in michigan keeps mentioning that she's getting latch hooks. what?
But my aunt's ol school so i thought maybe she made that up.....then i realized it sounds like the process used for crochet braids....which i had in high school (with individuals around my edges).

The other thing i think she could mean are Tree Braids....popular in some parts of the south.....but there is no hook involved. ??????
