Bantu knot out (pix)

[zzirvingj]

I put my hair in 8 bantu knots last nite (my hair is currently pressed straight) and took them out this morning and this is what I got.

I'm kinda "eh" about it. Is this how a bantu knot out is supposed to look?

ETA: After undoing each "knot", I gently combed through it.

I may give it another try tonite.

It's pretty, i like it. But i typically finger comb it when i take it down to keep the curls more formed.

This is adorable zz. Yes - that is how its supposed to look - slightly wavy hair. I think it looks fantastic.

When you wash your press out try it on your natural hair. That will be awesome.

Very cute. You've got what I call mermaid hair; that wavy look All you need to do is string some pearls and jewels in it! It looks really good on you.

I like it. Actually I Really like it. I like the wavy look.

Man I can't wait until my hair grows. I can see my self wearing my hair like this on the regular.

It looks great! If you wanted it to be more curly, then I usually only finger curl to get that effect.

ETA: Are you MBL or WL? I would be so very happy if I had your length, and my hair decided not to grow anymore.

This is pretty...I like it.

 

[CenteredGirl]

Yeah I like it.

If you are looking for more definition and volume:

1. Bend over at the waist after undoing your bantus and finger comb forward towards your forehead.
2. For volume do this in front of a fan.

I apply a bit of fantasia gel while I do the above. The gel dries quickly leaving definition and volume in finger combed hair.

I think you accomplished the sexy wavy slightly tousled look with the knots. I like it. I like the fact that it doesn't look overly done. Some bantus I see just look too manufactured, if that makes sense...

THANKS

I understand what you mean...I wish I had taken a pic of it when I took the knots out this morning before combing them out. It looked soooo different. Like 8 "ropes" in my hair ...not that it looked bad, just "different"....maybe I'll take a quick pic next time before combing through.
