Here are some "Afro" hairstyle ideas with Bantu knots to inspire you.

Bantu Knots : This hairstyle involves creating buns. Each section of hair is twisted into a spiral and secured. The hair can also be braided or dreadlocked before being twisted, depending on the style and origin. Like most African braided hairstyles, the patterns are fractal. There are different styles of knot separators (square, triangle, wave, etc.) and different knot shapes (conical, tubular, flat, etc.).

The " Bantu Knots " hairstyle (in English) is also called "Zulu Knots" (in French), "Tufi ya ntaba" (Goat dung) in Lingala (a Congolese language), "Matobos" in Cameroon, or even "Chou," "Kaka kabrit," "Kaka mouton" depending on the French-speaking Creole dialects of the Antilles or Guyana. There are a multitude of names depending on the language.

The hairstyle currently called "Afro" is simply the appearance of natural, loose (untied) curly hair, which takes on different appearances (volumes, lengths, sizes, etc.) and different textures depending on the manipulation of the curls desired by the wearer of this hair, the size of the natural curls, the degree of nutrition and hydration of the hair, the thickness of the hair, the health of the wearer of this hair, the mood of the wearer of the hair and the environment (cold, snow, rain, sun, limestone, heat, etc.).

Today, Afro hairstyles come in many different styles to suit everyone's taste.

Thanks to our natural hair versatility, we have the choice between the curly state (defined natural curls), the so-called "kinky" state (loose curls), or stretched hair (loose curls).

-Afro Curly with naturally defined curls and good hair hydration and nutrition,

- Afro Coils/Tortilles, natural curly hair is defined strand by strand by twisting it around itself using a stick, a comb or the fingers.

- The stretched Afro style features loose, curly hair that is not straightened with thread, elastics, or a hairdryer.

- Afro Locs with semi-detangled hair, giving a temporary locs style. The hair can be styled on its own or by shaping.

- Afro-textured hair with well-detangled, structured hair in a bun or loose shape

.

- and for Afro Wavy, Curly, we first make twists/vanillas/braids or we put in rollers then we undo to create other types of unnatural waves or curls.
