1. They are painless to install
As beautiful as box braids are, they are painful to install, and the pain lingers for days after. The beauty of knotless braids is that the braids start with your own natural hair, and the extensions slowly get added in throughout the process instead of all at once. This makes the process painless! For an even smoother braid installation, try using SheaMoisture Papaya & Neroli All Day Frizz Control Milk Gel to help prevent frizz and boost sleekness.
2. Less breakage after installing braids
As a result of the seamless installation process, you will find little to no breakage when it comes time to take out your knotless braids. This means you can get the most out of your braids by keeping them in for up to 4-8 weeks without worrying about causing too much damage to your natural hair.
3. Your hair will flourish in this protective style
A protective style is counterproductive if it hurts your hair in the process. With knotless braids, you can trust that your natural hair is truly being protected – Many naturalistas have claimed to see a great deal of hair growth when removing their knotless braids after some time. To further help promote hair growth in knotless braids, try Suave Professionals Castor Oil & Mango Butter for Natural Hair and Scalp Oil which will also help to nourish your scalp.
4. They are easier to maintain
Knotless braids give you more access to your scalp and the roots of your hair, making it a lot easier to keep your scalp clean and take care of your braids. To give your braids a light cleanse, use the SheaMoisture Moringa & Avocado Power Greens Hair Tea Rinse bi-weekly.
5. Knotless braids are less bulky than regular box braids
Knotless braids are so lightweight you’ll even forget you have them in your hair. Depending on how big you choose for your knotless braids to be, you can even ditch the extra-large bonnet you use to protect your hair at night. You also don’t have to worry about the struggle of wrapping your hair in buns and ponytails whenever you need to hold your hair back.
6. You can achieve a great knotless hairstyle
It is sometimes difficult to achieve a variety of cool hairstyles in regular box braids due to the bulkiness or waiting for the pain of your fresh braids to go down. Knotless braids allow you to style your braids as if they were your own hair. Let your creativity flow and go all in experimenting with the best knotless braids hairstyles.
7. They are a very trendy hairstyle in the natural hair community
