Rocking The Bantu Knots


Here’s a little history on the subject of Bantu Knots: Bantu is a colonial word used to describe Zulu people. The word was used to identify African people who spoke the Bantu dialect. The word Bantu does not refer to one group of people, rather over 10 million Africans of Zulu descent who speak the Bantu dialect. This is why Bantu Knots are also referred to as Zulu Knots. Zulu, as in African people. Bantu Knots have been worn by Black women as a way to protect and style their hair since the beginning of civilization. Below is a picture of a Madagascan woman rocking Bantu Knots circa 1898.



Though many associate the Bantu knot with a trendy '90s hairstyle, the term Bantu describes a group of people who are are believed to have originated in West Africa and spread to encompass various ethnic groups throughout the continent who share a common dialect and similar customs. One of those groups, the Zulu people of South Africa, are said to have conceived the actual term "Bantu knots." The Somali Bantu, descendants from Mozambique and Tanzania, were referred to as Jareer — a term used to describe kinky and coarse African hair. The physical feature that differentiated the Bantu people from other Somali nomads was in fact their hair texture.
