Bantu Knots on Weave: 10 Styles That Can Be Created on Extensions
Give your hairstyle a new twist.
As many of us may know, Bantu knots have derived from a tribe in Africa. Over the years, women have taken inspiration from the style and recreated their own version of the look based on their personal taste and preferences. One of the many ways to wear the knots include Bantu knots on weave styles. While the style can be done without a weave as well, experimenting with other hairstyles and extensions can be fun, too.
