Bantu Knots and Undone French Twist
Bantu knots originated from southern Africa. It is a hairstyle in which the hair is divided into equal sections, twisted, and wrapped to form multiple knots. This is a protective hairstyle [6] that helps retain moisture and prevents your hair from drying out. This style is best made when the hair is damp, stretched, and well moisturized. Do not twist too tight because you don’t want to damage the hair.
You can either use your natural hair or add extensions for your Bantu knots. This is one beautiful hairstyle [7] that leaves you looking like a Disney princess. The difference between this and the traditional French twist is that your curls are left to dangle from the bottom of the secured twist. All you need are a few Bobby pins to keep the twist in place. This is an effortless but unique hairstyle.
