and what exactly is khaniis about it

In this regard, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) is reported to have said, ‘Whosoever resembles (likens himself) to another people, then he is from among them’ (Abu Dawood from the tradition of Abdullah bin Umar R.A). In another tradition, the Prophet (SAW) has said, ‘whoever resembles (likens himself) to another group/people, he is not from us’ (Muslims, Tirmizi).

It is permissible to braid the hair in any manner to beautify oneself provided it does not involve imitation of non-Muslims or people of poor morals or imitation of men by women or vice-versa.

In this day and age Its mainly Gaalo that use that style so you might risk trying to imitate them..
