I spy with my little eyes, cute Bantu knots. Nothing screams ‘’African’’ like Bantu knots. These ones worn by Yemi are classy and fun, just like her personality. What makes the style interesting is the incorporation of coloured braids for added pizzazz. Use Darling Yaki braids to achieve this look.
