Cosmetics, Beauty / Puerto Rico
Spanish term or phrase: gráficas
Course name from a Puerto Rican Cosmetology School transcript:
Gráficas, extensiones y pelucas

Can "gráficas" mean something other than illustrations here? (I really want it to mean "weaves" but I have found absolutely no basis for that.)

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the matter.

Explanation:

What Every Stylist Needs to Know About Offering Hair Braiding Services
African hair braiding has become increasingly popular over the last few years as more and more men and women have embraced their hair’s natural texture and color in their daily style. Rather than dye, heat style, or chemically straighten their hair, many are choosing to style their locks through intricate braiding. The absence of heat and chemicals can do wonders in helping your client’s hair achieve a healthy, vibrant look.

There are near-endless combinations and patterning styles that you can learn as you become skilled, but all fall within three basic categories:

Twist outs
Cornrows
Box Braids

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thanks so much for putting me on the right track with these references...especially your first one referring to "braids and twists" in the description for my exact course title. I avoided using "styling" as there were other course names that specifically referenced that.
