A Knotless braid is basically a type of braid that does not require a knot, unlike our traditional braids that require a knot. Knotless braids are different from traditional braids because they don’t require a knot to connect the hair strands. Instead, you create a braid by twisting and looping your hair. You can wear knotless braids in many styles: loose and flowing, tight and twisted are perfect examples of such styles.

To create beaded knotless braids, you will need the following:

Steps to create short knotless braids with beads for natural hair

- Once you’re done, braid your hair into three sections, and ask your stylist for suggestions.
- Next, get your beads and start looping them in; it’s pretty easy.
- Make a half-moon shape of your hair and wrap it around the eyelet/hole in the beader. Once you have finished folding your hair, tie it with a rubberband to secure the beads.
- Keep going until all of the beads are attached to your braids.
- Apply mousse to your hair, then smoothen your edges.

How to keep clean your knotless braids healthy and moisturized
Here are some tips to keep your knotless braids healthy and moisturized:
- First, ensure your hair is very clean and well-conditioned before braiding it. This will ensure that it remains healthy and hydrated. To help retain moisture, you might also consider applying a conditioner or oil.
- Next, apply a recommended oil to your hair and scalp every day, preferably after a shower; this will hydrate your hair. You can use a water-based conditioner.
- Avoid pulling or dragging on your hair, as it can cause breakage.
