Bantu knots, an elegant and versatile protective hairstyle, are small, coiled knots created on natural hair. Africans have adorned their hair with this intricate style for centuries, its name derived from the Bantu people of Southern Africa.
Bantu knots on natural hair not only enhance its beauty but also provide numerous benefits. They protect hair from daily wear and tear, reduce breakage, and promote hair growth. Historically, Bantu knots signified tribal identity, marital status, and social status.
