Knotless Box-braids

[momi]

I am loving these knotless box braids. The look is much more natural without the knot and the braids seem to be much more fluid than the knotted ones. Years ago these were pretty popular, but I'm having trouble finding a braider in my area that offers them.

This braider is in NY - I'm thinking about booking a flight.

They're gorgeous - let us know if you get them done!

I actually like the knot

Is there a tutorial on this?

I've seen a few tutorials on you tube but I haven't attempted any of them.

I've been searching for years for a braider who knows how to do this technique with no success. I first learned of the knotless braids from growafrohairlong.com (crown and glory). I see the website is no longer available :-(

The stylist in the photo is based in NY - I'm not sure what part though.

I see this is starting to trend right now, I like both kinds of braids.

I know exactly how to do these kinds of braids but I am not the fastest braider lol braids the size in the OP would take me like 12 hrs to do smh. I like the finish of them, very natural looking. This technique has much less tension, I wonder if they last as long as the knotted kind. Looks like I'm gonna have to try it and see for myself.

ETA: I absolutely love how easily they move in any direction from day 1

I've never seen or heard of these, but now I want them for my next box braid install. They don't look tight or heavy. Thanks for sharing this.

The braids probably don't look neat for as long as the knotted ones - on her IG she has pics of clients that have had theirs for a while. Even though they aren't as neat, the braids still have a very natural and organic look.

Your'e welcome. I have an appointment next month with someone in ATL. Hopefully they turn out as nice as the ones by mshairandhumor!

Listen! These knotless braids are every single thing! I was able to put my hair in a bun on Day one! No asprin or headache medicine needed. The braids look like they are growing out of my head.

I’m don’t plan to ever back to knots!

ETA - they aren’t heavy at all - very lightweight!

Let me look at my list and see if there is anyone in the FL area...

Whatever happened to that site? That was the site that got me started on my hair journey.

I found this knotless tutorial for box braids. It doesn't look too hard.



I'm putting in my own box braids tonight, but the kind with the knot. If my hair weren't so short I'd definitely try this knotless version. But I'm already worried about the staying power of the regular kind.

I'm not sure if these are knotless, but she does offer the service. Her braids are clean and neat!

Used to get knotless braids in early 2000, and did the best braids ever, and she was super fast and cheap.

 

[momi]

I've noticed many stylists are increasing their prices for knotless. I'm sure the process is more time consuming and also the demand is high.

My first set was $225 but the braids were too long. I should have asked for mid back and not waist length.

Wow.. I have these knotless braids right now.. I really like more than the regular box braids..

How do you feel about wearing them down? Do they seem to be too flat? What size are you wearing?
