5 traditional African hairstyles that are making a come back

Bantu Knots

Hair gathered in portions and wound around itself.

“Bantu” means people and is a blanket term used to describe the 300 to 600 ethnic groups within southern Africa. Bantu knots also are known as Zulu knots because the Zulu people, a Bantu ethnic group, were the first to wear the styles.
