Bold, quick to style, and lightweight! Using thick, jumbo-sized knotless parts (12 to 18 braids total across the whole head), this look requires minimal wrapping to build a massive, dramatic top knot.
Despite its large size, the knotless feed-in technique keeps the jumbo braids tension-free and light on the scalp.
Step-by-Step Styling Guide
- Divide Jumbo Sections: Separate the top 6 to 8 jumbo braids from the lower braids.
- Loop High Bun: Wrap the jumbo braids around a wide satin stretch band twice, tucking the thick braid ends underneath the loop.
- Adjust Volume: Gently pull on the outer edges of the jumbo bun loops to fan them out for maximum dramatic width.
- Slick Hairline: Smooth the wide, clean scalp parts between jumbo braids with a light oil sheen.

Concept and Design Overview
Playful, youthful, and full of texture! Using tiny, intricate micro-knotless braids, the top section is split down the center into two equal sections and wrapped into twin high space buns at the top corners of the head.
