What Are Knotless Braids?
As the name implies, Knotless braids are knotless. They’re a variation of box braids that do not have the signature knot formed at the root of the hair. Unlike traditional box braids, where the braiding hair is added directly from the scalp to help with the grip and volume, knotless braids are made using a feed-in technique where the braids are started with your real hair first before the braiding hair is attached a bit further down the hair shaft.
This creates a sleek braid without a knot that looks very natural and blends in seamlessly with your natural hair.
Because they lie flat on the scalp and are less bulky, Knotless braids are also easy to style in multiple ways without creating unnecessary tension on your scalp.
Do Knotless Braids Damage Your Hair?
One of the main reasons why knotless braids are completely taking over the box braids styles is because they are very gentle on the scalp. Knotless braids do not put excess tension and strain on the scalp, so there isn’t much damage done to the hair and most importantly your edges remain intact and breakage free.
However, as with any form of braids, proper installation is essential. If your knotless braids are not done the right way or are not properly cared for, then you run the risk of breakage and damage to your strands. So it is important to get them braided by a stylist who knows what they’re doing and also takes care of your hair while they are in the knotless braids

How long your knotless braids will last vary with each person. While they can last for as long as 1-3 months, a few individual factors such as your hair texture, braid size, and how well you take care of the braids will ultimately determine how long they last. Bigger braids might develop frizz faster than smaller-sized braids.
The right maintenance methods like sleeping with a silk bonnet or pillowcase, and using moisturizing sprays and oils will also help with the longevity of knotless braids.
However, to avoid unnecessary damage to your hair, the best time frame to keep your knotless braids in is 4-8 weeks.
