Bantu knots with braids is an out-of-the-box hairstyle that looks best on a woman who is confident. Stylist Elle Bee of Atlanta, GA reveals that it doesn’t take long to do yet it’s so unique and chic.
To create this Bantu knots style, Ella Bee says, “Know that your hair only needs to be long enough to put into ponytails and the rest can be done with extensions if you don’t have the length. Also, you won’t need too many products for upkeep, only oil for the scalp and a satin wrap or bonnet to cover your hair while sleeping.”

Bantu Knots With Triangle Patterns

Bantu knots styles are great for protecting your hair. In the black culture and community, it’s important to keep our hair moisturized to prevent it from breakage. It’s a unique look that the Zulu and Bantu people in Africa tend to rock.
According to Texas-based stylist Desireé Ward, “Bantu-knotting is a strong look for women that typically have a lot to do and care for. It’s seemingly a carefree stress-free style.”
There’s no one hair type for this Bantu knots hairstyle. A lot of people nowadays get their hair done this way for fashion purposes, but in reality, it’s a sign of strength and unity for the Bantu or African culture. It’s mainly used for protective styling.
Before getting this style, Ward suggests using shampoo with moisturizing hair products and detangle with a leave-in conditioner or light oil. “It’s best to do this style while damped but some stylists or hair lovers do it dry before bed for a nice beach wave. In the morning, just take them down with light oil and finger them apart,” Ward advises.
If you’re getting them done while they are damped, they don’t require shampoo. Ward adds, “This style can last up to two weeks. Light on the scalp with tea tree oil. This will help with the itch and moisture. Gently wrap them at night with a silk scarf!”
