What knotless braids involve
The braider feeds extension hair into your own hair gradually instead of starting on a knot, so each braid sits flatter and pulls less at the root. Sizes run small, medium and jumbo, small is neatest and lasts longest but takes the most hours, jumbo is quickest and lightest but loosens sooner. Most Manchester braiders offer all three, plus boho and curly-end finishes. For the full breakdown of sizes, lengths and who it suits, see the knotless braids style page.

Where to book in Manchester
Moss Side and Longsight have the deepest bench of braiders and hair shops, with more working across Hulme, Rusholme and Whalley Range. Demand is high, particularly in the run-up to summer and the festive season, so the better-known braiders book up fast, worth choosing on the strength of someone’s work in your specific size rather than on who has the next free slot.
