Bantu knots are made by sectioning hair and twisting it into little knots. Watch the video above and use these simple methods to recreate the look at home. You may obtain varied appearances depending on your hair type—whether you have short or long hair—and how large you separate your strands. Short hair can be tied in similar ways as longer hair, but will tend to come out of place more easily. If you want your bantu knots to stay put, try using hair elastics to secure them after they're done twisting. If you want to keep your hair stylish while still being able to enjoy a relaxing day at the beach or spa, then bantu knots are perfect for your short hair. The looks can be enhanced by adding accessories such as headbands or flowers. Of course, you can also switch up the bantu knot style every few months by changing up your twistout or curl styles.
