Bantu Knots

Bantu knots are a traditional African hairstyle that involves twisting small sections of hair and then coiling or knotting them up against the scalp. The style is often used to create curls and waves in natural, textured hair.

To create Bantu knots, the hair is usually divided into small sections, and each section is then twisted and coiled tightly against the scalp. The hair is then secured with a hair tie, clip, or bobby pin. Once all of the hair is twisted and secured, the style is left to set, usually overnight or for several hours. Once the hair is dry, the knots are gently unraveled to reveal the curls or waves.

Bantu knots are a versatile hairstyle that can be worn in many different ways. They can be left in for several days to create more defined curls, or they can be unraveled immediately for a more relaxed, wavy look. The hairstyle is often associated with African culture, and it's gaining popularity among people with natural hair, as it's an easy way to get defined curls without having to use heat.

It's important to note that, like the twist-out method, the final result of the Bantu Knots may vary depending on the individual's hair type, texture, and porosity. It may take some experimentation to find the right products and techniques that work best for your hair. Additionally, similar to the twist-out method, the Bantu Knots are best done on hair that is freshly washed and moisturized, as dry or damaged hair may not hold the curls as well.
