The result is a style that looks like the hair is growing straight from your scalp. Many people choose miracle knots for styles like curly looks, braids, or even straight extensions because the base looks very natural.
The technique is called miracle knots because the knots are so small and well hidden that they almost seem invisible.
How Are Miracle Knots Installed?
Before installing any protective style, your hair should always be cleansed and moisturised. While each stylist might have their own approach, the general process looks like this:
- Braid your natural hair into cornrows or mini braids
- Hook the pre-threaded bundle under the braid and pull the thread loop through
- Repeat this for all your hair
Miracle knots vs. Traditional crochet braids
- Traditional crochet braids loop hair through, whereas miracle knots only loop thread through
- Miracle knots have very flat and invisible-looking knots, whereas traditional crochet braids have more bulky and noticeable knots
- Miracle knots have lower scalp tension than traditional crochet braids
Miracle knots are a beautiful example of how Black hair styling keeps evolving. This style can help you enjoy length, volume and versatility but it’s always key to choose an experienced stylist who understands Afro hair so you can protect the health of your natural strands. But not to worry, you can find the best Afro hairdressers near you here.
