An Expert Guide on Achieving Bantu Knots With Crochet Braids: ‘The Braid Up’

0 Comment

Today’s edition of The Braid Up is all about adding volume and glamour, and let me tell you, I am absolutely loving it. If you haven’t tried crochet braids yet, you should definitely consider giving them a go just for their versatility. These braids provide a fantastic base for incorporating different types of hair, such as the vibrant red, kinky-curly bundles featured in this episode. But what truly sets this protective hairstyle apart is the crown of Bantu knots at the front, which adds a touch of magic to the look. Brooklyn-based braider Sherrell Gittens is the mastermind behind this stunning creation, so you’ll definitely want to tune in and learn from her. To keep this fabulous style looking its best, here are a few essential tips:

1. Keep your scalp moisturized by using castor or jojoba oil. However, make sure to avoid getting any oil on your added braiding hair. An excellent way to apply the oil is by saturating a cotton ball and gently dabbing it on your scalp between the braided rows. This method minimizes messiness and keeps your hair roots hydrated.

2. Prevent matting and tangles by refraining from using a brush or comb on your synthetic hair. Instead, use your fingers to separate your curls and get rid of any knots using small scissors. By doing so, you’ll extend the lifespan of your hairstyle and maintain its youthful appearance.

3. Prioritize protecting your hair while sleeping by wearing a satin bonnet. Before going to bed, tie your hair back in a low bun and cover it with an oversized adjustable bonnet. This simple step will keep your hair tangle-free and safeguard it from friction or damage during sleep.

4. Enhance the beauty of your Bantu knots by decking them out with some braid rings, just like Sherrell did in this episode. Trust me when I say that these small details will elevate your final look and leave you feeling absolutely satisfied.

This episode of The Braid Up is in collaboration with Stasha Harris of Magic Fingers Studio, and features the expertise of makeup artist Ashley Johnson and videographer Rob Mroczko. Additionally, kudos to Jay Aguirre for serving as the production assistant and Tara O’Connell for directing this digital series.

Let’s not forget to mention Annabel Iwegbue, an assistant editor at Cosmopolitan, who passionately covers lifestyle, beauty, and astrology. With her impressive contributions to Harper’s Bazaar, The Knockturnal, and Black Film, Annabel’s work is certainly worth checking out.
