5067. It was narrated that Abû Wâ’il said: ‘Ibn Mas’ûd addressed us and said: ‘How do you want me to recite? According to the recitation of Zaid bin Thâbit, when I learned seventy-odd Sûrahs from the mouth of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ while Zaid was with the other boys with two braids?’” (Sahîh)
5064 - أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ: «كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُونِّي أَقْرَأُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ بَعْدَ مَا قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضْعًا وَسَبْعِينَ سُورَةً، وَإِنَّ زَيْدًا مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ لَهُ ذُؤَابَتَانِ»

In order to hold the hair of the children in place, they used to be braided, so that the hair do not get defiled while playing and sporting around. When the child would become sensible, there remained no need for braiding the hair. The gist of the matter is that he was just a child. From this Hadith, the permissibility of plaiting the hair becomes known.
