Bantu knots
Bantu Knots
The name of the style is derived from Bantu, which translates to “people” among over 400 ethnic groups in Africa. These knots are also known as Zulu knots because the Zulu people of South Africa, a Bantu ethnic group, originated the hairstyle. Bantu knots are styled by sectioning the hair into parts all over the head, then twisting those individual sections until they form mini knots. The style is popular today and is sometimes referred to as Nubian knots.
