The albums open.
What do you guys think?
I pinned them up (in the last pictures) and put a hair band on to avoid damaging my ends. That's how i wore them today.

Ps-any tips on how to make them last?

Very cute!!!

I think they look nice, but I also think they would look better finger combed. Good job! Try sleeping with a bonnet to make them last longer HTH

They came out fine, nice headband.
You can loosely do bantu knots every night to keep them up and make sure to moisturize the ends.

You're probably right. I will try finger combing next time.

I already sleep with a satin bonnet. Do you mean that i need to redo the knots every night for the curls to last Or do you mean i should just throw on a bonnet at night?

It looks really good!

Ooh, very very nice!
Wouldn't have known it was your first attempt if you didn't disclose.
LOVELY!

They look great!

To make mine last I just pincurl them at night. And, if some have really fallen I redo the bantu knot. I also sleep in a bonnet.

Very pretty...was ur hair wet or dry when you did the bantu knots??

Your hair looks great. Can we have more details on how you did this? I'd love to try it. I'm sooooo tired of my bun.

Looks great, I love them as-is.

They are nice. What did you use on your hair to make them? And I also agree with some of the others saying to redo over again at night to keep them fresh looking.

The exact reason why i did them!
I wanted a healthy change but was far too lazy for a rollerset...

*sigh*
No rest for the lazy then.

I used my Aphogee provitamin leave-in and a teeny amount of profectiv break free mixed with water.
Then did the knots
