About Tiv Knots
Tiv Knots are a traditional West African hairstyle characterized by small, tight knots or plaits arranged in intricate geometric patterns, often with cultural significance among groups like the Fulani, Akan, and Yoruba. This style is distinguished by its detailed designs, which may incorporate beads or threads for added decoration, and it typically requires medium to long hair with Type 3 or 4 textures for best results.
