Knotless Braids

Knotless braids are a type of protective hairstyle where braiding hair extensions are gradually fed into a person’s natural hair, starting with their own hair without creating a knot at the base. Unlike traditional box braids, where a knot is used to secure the extensions at the scalp, knotless braids use a feed-in method that gives a smoother, more natural look. This technique results in less tension on the scalp, reducing the risk of discomfort, hair breakage, and traction alopecia (hair loss from excessive pulling).

Here are some key features of knotless braids:

1. Natural Look: Knotless braids appear more seamless and natural since the braiding starts with the person’s hair and then slowly incorporates the extension hair.
2. Less Tension: Because there’s no knot at the base, knotless braids tend to feel more comfortable and cause less tension on the scalp, which is beneficial for the health of the hairline.
3. Versatility: They can be styled in various sizes and lengths, from small and thin to large and thick, depending on preference.
4. Lightweight: Since they put less stress on the scalp, knotless braids feel lighter than traditional box braids.
5. Long-Lasting: With proper care, knotless braids can last several weeks, typically 4 to 8 weeks, though the duration depends on factors like hair growth and maintenance.
6. Scalp-Friendly: Because of the feed-in technique, the scalp remains more accessible, making it easier to moisturize and clean while the braids are in place.
7. There are a Variety of Add-on's that can be included with knotless braids. Here are some options I offer:
   • Boho: Addition of curly hair extensions to achieve a carefree, bohemian, or beachy look.
   • Hot water curls: Use of curl rods and hot water to create curls.
   • Beads: Addition of beads, and securing them by using rubber bands or buring the ends

Overall, knotless braids are a popular protective style for those looking for a natural, low-tension, and versatile option for braiding with extensions.
