Knots are how the hair is tied to lace. If the hair is darker than a light blond you're going to see a little ball of dark hair that is the knot. Typically they bleach the knots so that they blend in with your scalp and don't stand out like little black dots.

You want it regardless.
It's just more pronounced and awful looking the darker your hair is.

I need to add here, ONLY if the roots are visible (exposed hairline, parting, crown).
You don't need to bleach the knots of the entire system.

Mine are unbleached after the hairline and it would look awful if I parted my hair. But as already pointed out if the roots aren't visible it really doesn't matter.

I agree the bleached knots at the hairline are the most important. If I were using lace, I'd prefer to have them all bleach, to be honest. If the wind blows or your hair is wet it would expose those unsightly black knots. I do understand there is a trade-off though, as you are weakening the hair but ...just my opinion....

Agreed in some ways. But I can't say it bothers me any. It's unlikely that the wind blows my hair given the length and that it is weighted down with leave in conditioner.
What base do you use by the way?
