This hairstyle, perfect when sported with long hair, short hair, combined with braids or dreads, but above all with a more or less wavy hairstyle, is among the most popular hairstyles of the 90s and 2000s.
We are talking about the ‘Bantu Knots hairstyle, at the time considered to protect the ends of the hair from external agents, today – but already for a few decades in fact – it is instead very popular all over the world.
Hair styled in this way is thought to have originated-almost a hundred years ago-among the Zulu tribes of southern and western Africa, while it is now a popular hairstyle worldwide.
Surely many of you are familiar with Bantu Knots because, in the mid-1990s, Mel B – the well-known member of the Spice Girls – made this hairstyle mainstream as well as her very own signature.
Very similar to twisted mini chignons, hair with Bantu Knots is also easy to do, as well as very convenient for getting rid of the hair on your face.
This hairstyle, as already mentioned, is perfect for any hair type: from natural waves to smoother textures and hyper-rich hair.
Bantu Knots are a great way to style your hair. In fact, if you want to grow out your natural hair and are looking for a comfortable – especially protective – hairstyle, you already have the answer.
An essential, iconic and timeless look. To finish a perfect styling all you need to do is apply a fixing product to achieve a result worthy of a professional hairstylist.
