What defines Bantu knots?

Bantu knots wrap sections into small raised knots. The parting pattern and the placement of each knot are visible parts of the style.

What to look for from the front, side and back

Look at how the first row frames the hairline and temples. Check the profile and rear for spacing and the shape of the lower rows.

What to confirm with your stylist

Choose the knot size and section pattern together. Ask how the knots can sit comfortably near the edges and nape.
