Bantu knots
Small coiled buns made by twisting sections of hair and winding them into knots across the head.
Also: Zulu knots, Nubian knots
Bantu knots are made by dividing the hair into sections, twisting each one and winding it around its base into a small coiled knot, held by its own tension or a pin. The name refers to the Bantu-speaking peoples of southern Africa, among whom such knots have a long history, and they are also called Zulu knots. They are worn as a style in their own right, or undone to give a springy knot-out. They work on most hair types.
