Understanding Small Knotless Braids
In case you don’t know already, small knotless braids are a popular hairstyle that involves creating tiny, tightly braided sections of hair without using a knot at the base of each braid.

Unlike traditional box braids or cornrows that often start with a knot, small knotless braids have a more natural and seamless appearance.
These braids are known for their versatility, low tension on the scalp, and the ability to look like natural hair growth.
How are small knotless braids created?
Sectioning: The hair is divided into small, even sections. The size of each section can vary depending on personal preference, but they are generally much smaller than traditional box braids.
Braiding: Starting at the roots, a small amount of hair is taken, and the braiding process begins. Unlike traditional braids, there is no knot or extension hair used at the base. Instead, the braid is started with the natural hair, creating a smooth and sleek appearance.
Adding Hair: As the braid progresses down the length of the hair, additional hair is gradually incorporated to create the braided pattern. This technique allows for a more gradual and natural transition from the scalp to the braid.
How long do they last?
This hairstyle can last for as long as three months. Although certain factors like your hair texture and how you care for your braids should be taken into consideration.
Advantages of small knotless braids over traditional braiding styles
Less Tension: These braids are known for being gentle on the scalp and hair, as there is no knot at the base to pull on the hair roots.
Natural Look: The absence of a knot at the base creates a more natural appearance, making it look like the hair is naturally growing in braided form.
Versatility: Small knotless braids can be styled in various ways, from updos to ponytails to free-hanging styles.
Easy Maintenance: They are relatively low-maintenance and can last for several weeks with proper care.
The only downside to small knotless braids is that they’re time-consuming. If like me, you’re impatient and can’t wait to get up from your styling chair, check out my previous post on jumbo knotless braids, this is by far less time-consuming.
