How to wear Bantu Knots this winter (yes, you could look this hot)

It’s protective style season

Colder days call for scarves and coats – and an effective protective style. Bantu Knots are our favourite winter weather go-to, keeping our delicate strands away from all the extra layers of clothing to prevent friction-induced breakage.

This stunning copper-hued neat and petite ‘do by Bleach London is just the thing for turning up the heat. You can recreate the look by applying Bleach London’s Proper Copper Colour on lightened hair as the third step of a colour process (note: it’s only suitable for bleached hair). Next, smooth Aveda’s Nutriplenish Curl Gelee over your strands and blow-dry. Containing a superfood complex of mango butter, organic coconut and pomegranate oils, it has the flexible-hold of a gel with the moisturising capabilities of leave-conditioner.

Finally, twist your hair into Bantu Knots and use Laid Locs’ Bamboo Edge Styler to lay those edges. Finish off the look with a quick slick of lip-gloss and girl, you’re on fire!
