About this hairstyle
Knotless braids start with your own hair and the extension is fed in gradually, so there's no knot at the root. You get a flatter, more natural-looking base and less tension on your scalp. They're lighter to wear than classic braids and move more freely from day one.
Because they take time to install, it makes sense to have them done at home. On KOUTIVA you book online and pick your date, time and neighbourhood in Douala or Yaoundé. We call to confirm the exact price based on length and braid size, then a vetted hairdresser from our network comes to you.
Styling tips
- Long and loose, they look great with a fitted wax-print dress.
- A half-up style keeps your face clear for a bazin ceremony outfit.
- Tie them with a headwrap that matches your outfit for an elegant engagement-ceremony look.
- Thin, long knotless braids make lovely low buns.
How long it lasts
They usually last 4 to 6 weeks with good care, sometimes a little longer if you protect the roots well.
To prepare before the hairdresser arrives
- Hair washed, detangled and fully dry
- Your braiding hair if you're supplying it
- A comfortable chair with a back, near a power outlet
- A photo of the style and length you want
Care
- Satin scarf or bonnet every night
- Moisturise your scalp with a light product without weighing down the roots
- Avoid tight high ponytails in the first few days
- Don't keep them in too long, to be kind to your hair
Frequently asked questions
How long does the appointment take?
Allow roughly 5 to 7 hours, depending on the length, volume and size you choose.
Do I need to provide the hair?
It's up to you: bring your own, or ask KOUTIVA to supply it for an extra charge shown on the page. Just let us know your choice when you book.
Can the price change?
The price shown is a starting price. The KOUTIVA team calls you to confirm the exact amount based on the length and volume you want, and the travel fee depends on your neighbourhood.
How are they different from classic box braids?
Knotless braids have no knot at the root, so they're lighter, flatter and put less tension on your scalp. The trade-off is a slightly longer install.
