How to do knotless braids step by step

You can seek the assistance of a hair stylist or opt to do it by yourself at home. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do knotless braids.

  1. Grow your hair: Ensure it is at least 2 inches long (but it’s easier to work with hair that’s 3 to 4 inches long).
  2. Wash and condition: Washing and conditioning your hair ensures that you remove dirt and that your hair will not tangle. You can add moisturiser if your hair is naturally dry.
  3. De-tangling your hair: De-tangling your hair ensures that your stylist has straight hair to work with.
  4. Section your hair: Divide your hair into four sections by parting vertically straight down the middle and then again horizontally about halfway down the back of your head.
  5. Apply gel: Apply mousse or gel to a small section and comb through it to de-tangle and straighten your hair.
  6. Start braiding: Braid 2-3 links at a time and add the synthetic hair, then braid 2-3 more links and add synthetic hair to the new section.
  7. Finish the braid: For the finishing, ensure you braid down to the tips of your hair.
  8. Seal the ends: Sealing the ends ensures that your braids stay intact. Dip the braid ends in boiling water to seal them.
