Advice on Sculpting Cornrow Braids - Best Approach?

Hello all!

First time poster. I’m pretty new to ZBrush and I guess I just wanted to ask the forums opinions on braid sculpting. Particularly cornrows.

I’ve made an IMM brush to put braided strands along the surface of a characters scalp. But the next step would be the parted hair underneath (like the red-highlighted portions in the image below).

I’m unsure if it’s better to just paint that texture in or if there’s a better way that anyone would recommend I try.

Attached are images of the ZTool I’ve made and references images of the braid style I’m going for.

Thank you very much for any responses or advice on the matter.
