Bantu knots are traditionally an African style worn by African women of certain cultural groups, but, today they're worn by women of all backgrounds with different hair types. Despite the word 'knot' being in the style name, it's actually not a knot at all! Bantu knots are coiled buns pinned to your head. To create these buns, all you have to do is coil each section of hair and then wrap it around into a bun form.
