The Difference Between Knotless and Traditional Box Braids
When it comes to protective hairstyles, braids are always a classic. But not all braids are the same—especially when comparing knotless and traditional box braids. Traditional box braids are created by tightly knotting extensions at the root, which gives them a secure base. Knotless braids, on the other hand, start with your natural hair and extensions are gradually fed in. This means less tension on your scalp and a more natural look.
Benefits of Knotless Braids:
-
Lightweight and tension-free
-
Scalp-friendly, ideal for sensitive skin
-
A natural, seamless appearance
-
Less risk of breakage
Knotless braids tend to cost more and take longer, but the comfort and aesthetic often make it worth the investment. At The Hair Club, we specialize in both techniques and can help you decide which suits your hair goals.
