8 Large Knotless Braids With Beads

Knotless braids are in full swing and for all the right reasons. They are natural-looking knits with extensions added seamlessly using a feed-in technique along the length contrary to box braids that involve creating a ‘knot’ to secure the synthetic strands closest to the roots.

Such knotless braids reduce tension on the scalp and minimize hair breakage but tend to become frizzy in a shorter duration as the strands are not fastened tightly at the roots.

Consider the following large knotless braids with beads all of which are pain-free, easy to style, weightless, and enhance hair growth.

Long knotless braids with beads are a lifesaver for those who find knotted knits aesthetically displeasing. Use matching black extensions to achieve chunky plaits that narrow down towards the ends and add plain white beads to achieve a dark and light color contrast. Swoop down the edges for a neat finish.  

2. Curly Knotless Knits
