Kim Kardashian’s Braiding Experience

There has been a huge discussion regarding Kim’s appearance at MTV Awards but we won’t judge whether she did the right choice or not. We will simply justify that no matter what Kim does she somehow manages to always look impeccable. This time is not an exclusion. Her medium knotless box braids looked exquisite: some of the braids were done in a diagonal pattern while the side parts are done as regular knotless braids.

Storm Reid With Curly Knotless Braids

We have seen a similar hairstyle with such type of knotless braids in Solange Knowls’ photos. However, this time Storm Reid decided to brighten the braids with the intensive curls on the ends. To get the same hairstyle done you will need to have a certain type of extension that is tolerant to the high temperatures. This way you will be able to use the thin curler and style the untwisted part of the hair.

FAQs

What are the knotless braids?

What makes them different from any other type of braids? The first and foremost difference that comes to mind: they are healthier for your hair. How? Let’s discuss that in detail. When you want to get your hair braided and include some additional packed hair for braiding or simply so-called kanekalon you go to a specialist.

But even in the specialist’s chair, you might figure out that the selected type of braiding can be potentially too heavy for your natural hair and in the long term damage the structure drastically. I assume no one wants to deal with such things. That’s why professionals came up with the feed-in or knotless braids. Let me guess your next question.

How to do knotless braids?

In short, it would be impossible to do that by yourself, but a good specialist would do it in just a few hours. How? Instead of doing the ‘anchor’ knot next to the scalp, the hairstylist starts the braid with your strands to put less tension on the roots and then gradually combines your hair with kanekalon which at the end creates a seamless no-knot braid.
