Knotless Braids

For those who hate the bumps at the start of their braids. People are raving about knotless braids because you don’t see the knots at the start and its less tension on your natural hair. Your hair is slightly plaited before introducing extensions to give off a more natural aka #straightfromthehead look. Here is one of our recommended knotless braids stylists.
