Jumbo knotless braids 34 styles

Jumbo knotless braids are one of the most stylish protective hairstyles known for their prominent appearance. A key distinguishing factor between regular jumbo braids and jumbo knotless braids is that the latter does not have a knot at the base, thus giving them a seamless look. This also ensures that the hairstyle is less damaging to one’s natural hair.

How long do jumbo braids last?

Depending on how you maintain them, Jumbo knotless braids can last anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks. One’s lifestyle, for example, frequent swimming or engaging in activities that will make you sweat, can affect the longevity of knotless braids. A proper daily care routine ensures that jumbo box braids remain neat and healthy. If you are looking for longer-lasting braid styles, consider trying faux locs or soft locs. Check out the next section on how to maintain jumbo knotless braids.

How to maintain jumbo braids

Scalp care is one of my major tips for ensuring that your jumbo box braids remain intact. I recommend moisturizing your scalp often. Poor scalp care, for example, constant itching due to dandruff, can affect the longevity of knotless braids. The second tip is wearing a satin bonnet before retiring to bed. Also, regularly maintain your braids by washing them using a sulfate-free shampoo and leaving them to air dry. To get the most out of protective styles, consider eating a rich diet for growth such as leafy green, eggs, and fish.
