Every few months or so, I can always count on a new hair or beauty trend to take over my Instagram feed for an indefinite period of time. At one point it was faux dreadlocks, then crochet braids, and now I haven't been able to scroll without seeing at least a handful of knotless box braids.
As you might have guessed already, knotless box braids are another variation of box braids. The difference is that, unlike box braids, these don't include the small knot that sits at the root of the scalp because of the addition of synthetic braiding hair. Instead, this hairstyle is created using a feed-in technique: braiding hair is added to a person's natural hair in small pieces, resulting in a plait that lies flat and isn't as heavy on the scalp. It's essentially a painless alternative for anyone looking to rock a head full of box braids without putting tension on their scalp and edges, so excuse me while I go ahead and book my appointment now.
Since box braids are one of many go-to protective styles for black women, I'm already anticipating seeing this style in more places outside of social media as Fall approaches. Read ahead to see more photos of knotless box braids.
