Knotless braids are a type of braiding hairstyle that involves braiding the hair without any visible knots or bumps. They are often achieved by using a technique called « invisible braiding » or « feed-in braiding » where additional hair is gradually added to the braid as it is being formed, so that the new hair blends seamlessly with the existing braid.

This results in a smooth, sleek look and can help to reduce tension on the hair and scalp. Knotless braids are often used for protective hairstyles and can be done on natural or relaxed hair. They are often created using synthetic hair or human hair extensions, which is added little by little to the natural hair. They can be braided in different styles such as cornrows, braided updo and braided ponytails.
