This season, bantu knots are back with a fresh and fun flair. Black women have been donning the ancestral hairdo for centuries, but lately, we’ve been obsessed with celebrities’ cool take on the coif.
It turns out, our favorite entertainers also have a knack for the knots, and we’ve been swooning over the way they’ve been remixing style. We’ve seen A-listers fashion everything from magical mohawks to captivating crowns, and their elevated ‘dos have left us fixated.
With pretty parts and peculiar patterns, it’s hard to take our eyes off of the stars slaying the look. Yet we were able to escape our trance long enough to bring you nine beautiful celebrity-inspired bantu knot styles to try right now.
