Bantu Knots hairstyle

BANTU KNOTS

The beautiful hairstyle that makes all the difference

A popular summer hairstyle is Bantu Knots. This is a simple hairstyle that anyone can do at home. You can achieve this hairstyle either by yourself or with the help of a hairstylist. I personally like to put my hair in knots so that it stays stretched and my ends remain protected. This hairstyle is great for transitioning hair and heat damage because you are able to wear your hair in a natural hairstyle, without showing the two distinct hair textures.

History of Bantu Knots

The origin of Bantu Knots or Zulu Knots is said to have started in the Southern West African region. At the time, this area was occupied by tribes of Bantu-speaking people. Eventually, the style spread its way throughout the continent of Africa. They’ve been around for centuries and are an important style to Black African culture. They are a cultural style in the black community that has been passed down to us from centuries ago that we rarely get credit for, but the style came from our ancestors.
