There are protective styles, and then there are those braided styles that go above and beyond to keep your natural tresses intact. To this day, one of the best ways to achieve that is the knotless technique.
Knotless braids do away with the tight knot used to intertwine synthetic hair with your own, thus placing less stress on your scalp and helping you to preserve your hair. After all, the goal is to give your tresses a break and strengthen them in the process.
Everywhere, women are asking their stylists about the knotless technique, and one of the trendiest ways to rock the look is in a jumbo braid style. Meaning the thicker the braids, the better!
Jumbo knotless braids won’t last months on end, but for the several weeks that they do, you’ll be looking fabulous while wearing them, able to try new styles in no time, thanks to the ease on your scalp.
Without further ado, here are jumbo knotless braid styles you need to see!
