Okay, so I’ve been really into these knotless braids lately. They’re way less painful than the regular box braids, and honestly, they look just as good, if not better. I got mine done a few weeks ago, and I’m already obsessed with trying out different styles.
The way they do these is kinda cool. They start with your own hair and then slowly add in the extensions. It feels way more natural, and there’s, like, zero tension on your scalp. It’s a game-changer, seriously.
Trying Out Different Looks
First off, I went for the classic long and flowy look. I just let them hang down, and it’s super simple but still looks really put together. Sometimes, I add some beads to the ends for a little extra somethin’-somethin’. It’s kinda boho, and I love it.
- Half-Up, Half-Down: This one’s a go-to when I want to keep the hair out of my face but still show off the length. I just gather the top half of the braids and tie them up. Super easy and looks great.
- High Ponytail: When I’m feeling sporty or just want all my hair up, a high ponytail is perfect. It’s sleek and shows off the braids really well. Plus, it’s super practical when I’m working out or just running errands.
- Pigtails: Okay, hear me out. Pigtails aren’t just for kids. With knotless braids, they look really cute and playful. I usually do two low pigtails, and it’s a fun, youthful look.
- Updos: I’m still experimenting with updos, but I managed to do a simple bun the other day. It took some practice, but it looked pretty elegant. I’m thinking of trying more complicated updos soon.
Honestly, there are so many ways to style these braids. I’ve seen people do all sorts of cool things, like adding colors and different accessories. I found that these braids use perfectly symmetrical square parts, and it looks so neat and clean.
So yeah, that’s my little journey with knotless braids so far. I’m no expert, but I’m having a lot of fun figuring things out. If you’re thinking about getting them, I’d say go for it! They’re stylish, low-maintenance, and way less painful than traditional braids.
