HOW LONG DOES KNOTLESS BRAIDS LAST? 1 MONTH UPDATE Pros & Cons

[@iyanahgayle9872]

the first time I got knotless, I put my hair up 5 minutes after. That’s when I fell in love lol

[@davetraphillips4752]

I swear I love knotless when you do knots it's hurts like hell

[@tylaj19]

I LOVE my knotless braids. I used to be that person that would take them down whenever they would start getting frizzy. I wasted so much money doing that! As soon as they start getting frizzy and product build up I simply wash them! For the frizz I use oil, moose and a tiny bit of gel. I have had my braids in a little over a month! I still get compliments daily they are simply a beautiful style!

[@fattir8256]

I’ve had my knotless braids in for 10 weeks and they still look good. My hair is natural. Of course I have new growth but they still lasted way longer than I thought.... These are my first time getting them

[@kristincollins1923]

what's your hair texture? is it in the kinky 4 type hair range?

[@fattir8256]

@@kristincollins1923 yes, my hair is type but it’s a mixture of like 4a/4b

[@fattir8256]

@@kristincollins1923 if your hair is 3 type it makes sense of why it didn’t last. But I also thinks it depends on how well the initial install is

[@incognitooooooooooooo123spy]

@@fattir8256 did you go to the salon with ur hair straightened or just naturally dried

[@themiddayshowwithleilaho.5006]

I also did my own knotless by myself. I LOVVVEED them. Never liked how I looked with box braids but I have been itching to redo my knotless since I took them out. Coming from someone who exercises 5 days a week... they did not last. I pushed to keep them in for a month but I think the sweat made them revert and the fact that more root is visible makes them age faster. Imma still do them tho bc they look gooood

[@wallisokabando992]

Really and truly, our braids are not supposed to look fresh the whole time we have them on! They are supposed to be protective styles, eventually they loose their freshness which is normal. I’m convinced to get them done for my birthday even more now 😊

[@chianap.1743]

Usually my braids last longer (about two months). I've had mine in for two weeks and I already want to take them down. Glad I did them myself. It was my 1st doing them. I like how lightweight they are! I'ma try to push for a month

[@jossiejones9157]

A month is as long as I can go. My hair starts to loc at 4 weeks with knotless. But they don't take long to redo so it's cool.

[@chianap.1743]

@@jossiejones9157 I had got my straightened so I can get my ends clip or whatever. Two weeks into my hair being straight so I decided to do knotless braids again and I absolutely love them this time around

[@sonniejohnson4142]

Re mousing was my issue it made my hair more frizzier. They do not last as long as a regular set o box braids. They are truly beautiful and they feel amazing compared to box braids. The price is always 300+ here in Atl but so worth it in my opinion!!

[@Serenafernandezz]

suggestions to getting the frizz out ? 😩

[@shereewhite4828]

You and your hair are beautiful! That red lipstick is poppin too!

[@ife25usckid]

In my experience they actually don’t last as long as normal box braids!

[@briannarichardson1596]

I think either way is fine . It’s just depends if your going for the “ look” (knotless) or longevity (Knots) ☺️

[@polefitnessron9111]

They really don’t, but I still like them lol

[@Miss_Savge]

Yeah i dont wanna pay $200 and change and then they dont last i also have a very dry scalp and get dandriff and up here in NY they want $400 id tather pay he regular $180 besides ppl know it aint ya hair because the length and color not to mention mines is colored idk i jus dont wanna get this done and it be a waste plus i tend to scratch my scalp so this maybe not for me i do like sengalese twists better

[@ashleybaptiste4144]

miss lady where in NYC they charging $400? I’m from Brooklyn and found a girl who charges $175. She did an amazing job! Unfortunately, she do them in her house. I personally don’t mind but I know some people do.

[@Jazminfields]

@@Miss_Savge it’s easily done yourself , all it is is braiding hair .

[@ashleyc4540]

Mine last me up to 2 months, but I also don’t manipulate them very much and I wash them every 2 weeks. I also tend to not mind a little frizz, because I know I’ll be getting my moneys worth by leaving them in for up to 8 weeks😂

[@bodhisattfa]

2 MONTHSS

[@ashleyc4540]

Leely A yes ma’am 😌 and by then they usually still look good but I end up taking them out because I miss my hair 😂

[@jossiejones9157]

Whew girl the way my hair would loc up

[@strxxberycloud5204]

You can wash the weave??!! Sorry i never had box braids im going to get them for the first time soni need advice on washing wise

[@ashleyc4540]

Cloudy_ Rose haha yes girl! I usually wash mine after about 2-3 weeks of wearing them, I suggest getting the carol’s daughter wash day delight shampoo because it has a nozzle top so that you can go directly to your scalp without disturbing/frizzing the parting too much! Then just oil regularly😊

[@jessime_24]

loving the honesty about these braids. had mine for almost a month

[@razannegrayman]

I have 3c hair and I got them and they look hella old and it’s only been 2 weeks. The girl who did them is an excellent stylist so it isn’t her fault. But yeah they definitely do not last that long and they look older on textures that aren’t as kinky imo

[@ThePresentTimeNow]

Yours Truly, Razanne mine too. I have 4C hair, but I am relaxed, but my relaxed hair is not bone straight it’s course. My knotless braids look good for only 2 weeks too. I do my own so I take them out them put them back in. It’s a lot of work, but worth it.

[@chocolatedream9265]

Yea it doesn't last long. What a waste of money. That's why I start doing my own

[@ccpho23]

Yours truly and Welcome to the now. I think the reasons that the hair didn’t last long was because hair types react differently to braids and protective hairstyles. That could be a factor. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@LuxHumilis]

Yes a waste of money It’s been 2 half weeks but my it looks like I had them in for months, I just put a hat on

[@jossiejones9157]

Same, I can get another week if I set my hair with mousse and sprits right after I do them.

[@prissybeaute5645]

They look like they been up longer then a month

[@wiliatar]

What if I go out wearing a scarf all the time and not wear them down would they last longer lol, I’m getting these for back to school but a week earlier and I don’t want them to look old by the time I get back to school chile

[@mebruh498]

girl.. i dont go back till the 26th and am starting to regret it 💀

[@mamzz3711]

Erm school is 2 weeks and I already did mine I don't know what I was thinking

[@The_Jaded_One]

2 weeks maybe 3 weeks if my hair feels like it, just removed a knotless twist style after 2 weeks of having it in.

[@aikelahbooker8820]

they cute af on you. im getting mines done i wsh i could do them myself to save money tho.

[@mrsbell100]

You can.i just did mines. You really can sis.i was not paying another 300.

[@virgoanb]

They look good after your one month. Just got mine Saturday can't wait to see how long they last especially with everything going on.

[@jessicaparrish3956]

I had regular box braids that last for three month by the time of the 3rd month they was looking bad but I’d y’all saying after a month Noll I’m good I feel like my money will be waisted

[@onlymeganeliza]

This is the perfect hairstyle for me because I need a low maintenance protective style that won’t feel heavy for boot camp. It also doesn’t matter if my hair is slicked down because I’m not trying to be cute anyways lol.

[@ThePresentTimeNow]

Right. I like that about them. They’re light and you can move them easily right after install.

[@TayPatel]

I put mine up when I’m in the shower and I also don’t use and water based products bc it will def make it frizzy

[@kyeaphipps4895]

My knotless braids have been in for 2 months now

[@poobkjm]

How long do you keep your box braids in?

[@Rayann410]

wow! girl i start itching to take them down within the first 2 weeks lol thanks for the feedback for other curlfriends in the comments😉😊

[@Rayann410]

im curious too

[@kyeaphipps4895]

I keep my braids in for 2 months the most, I just took out my knotless braids today

[@kyeaphipps4895]

I like washing my hair so I be wanting them out earlier but they can last for the 2 months. They fuzz tho but mine didnt fuzz much

[@dhb9475]

I see knotless tend to last two weeks before they get frizzy

[@jessicab331]

I’m glad I’m not alone.. I already want to take this s**t out! Waste of dam money!😭

[@empresslove4075]

First time got knotless mines is butt length and so heavy when put up high and mines in since the 31st of March and still in neat like ever but so itchy at times

[@alienorchevalier7998]

I have them since early September, we’re going to be in December, I just refreshed the front with the Robber band method and they look as fresh as new so I’m going to keep them at least up until February I think ( broke student that paid 80€ for bum knot less box braids in Paris ( aka got scammed as it is 50-60€ normally 😭 )) so yeah as long as you wash your hair at least 1 a month it’s all good ( I have THICK hair , but they are short as I shaved my head December last year, and they frizz a lot . But I was able to keep them for 3 month rn and they are still good )

[@SundayBlues555]

Thank you so much for making this video. You look so great in this hair color too. I think I'll go with box braids because they look fresh, and last a lot longer.

I could never keep braids in longer than 1 month. I have a physical job 12hrs a day, I gym 4 days a week , and I wash my hair every 10 to 14 days. I have to, sweat is not my friend, and washing braids does cause my roots to frizz. The time I spend redoing the front, a few at the back, and separating hair growth at the roots. I might aswell take it all out, and redo it all over again.

[@Natashea]

My hair reverts back to puffy too fast for this style.

Knotless braids are not for me I have thick 4b/c hair😔😔

[@treasure3629]

I did my own box around 3 and a half weeks ago give or take. I have very full, coarse type four hair (I hat using the numbers) and I had to refresh them two days ago. I’m thinking of pushing a month more with these braids. Your hair type doesn’t matter with this, you just need to use a sensible ratio of braiding hair to natural hair. Try it out yourself if you have the time. I promise you it’ll feel weightless (in comparison to regular box braids) and it looks beautiful. I didn’t want to do it before because I hated that it looked scanty but mine looks full and it’s a small size. I’d recommend this to anyone, take a leap of faith 😊

[@reni8413]

That’s why you should try them. I feel it’s better when the hair is coarser

[@hrianna5211]

Yes it is for you. I have the same hair texture. Braids are meant for 4 type hair lol

[@vivid5203]

Mya Davis I paid about 190 for mine because it was this lady who was doing my hair in her house, 160 sounds pretty good! what size are you thinking about getting? I think the size will dictate if the style will last.
