Bantu Knot-Out ~Sorta Pic Heavy~

[~Sparklingflame~]

I have NEVER been able to do a successful knot out. NEVER. This is as close to being done right that I have ever been and so I HAVE to thank exoticmommie for her help! Her bantu knot out is fiya (check her siggy) so I asked her how he did it and she helped me out.

The other night I did them on dry hair. I just put some of Qhemets stuff on it. I dont know what it is b/c the label is faded and I cant read it. This is how it turned out.

It was ok, but the curls fell out in about 2 hours. I decided to do them on damp hair so that when it dried it would have more definition and maybe the waves would stay in longer. This time I sprayed each section with a little water to dampen it and I just put Vaseline on it. This is how it turned out.

One side is sorta tight and the other side is sorta loose. I know what I did to get each side to look the way it did so the ext time maybe it will look right.

I have to say this is the best I have ever done, so even tho its jacked up Im still proud of ma sayelf!!

ETA: 3rd attempt;

I really like the pictures from the second set. Your hair is very pretty

 

[levone]

Gorgeous results (especially the second version). This is one style I have not been successful with.

You did a great job! Hmm maybe we should have a thread of "When knots go bad" I can guarantee my attempts would win the "Needs prayer and Jesus" award.

 

[Leeda.the.Paladin]

I think it's cute!

 

[pookaloo83]

The second set is nice! But I liked both.

Cute girl, What are you talking about? I like the first one. My hair looks so cute until I get outside. Poof city. Guy at work calls it a my dry jeri curl wig. If I can find something to keep the frizz at bay; I would be SO HAPPY.

And thanks everybody for being kind!

I still think its toe back. Imma try it again tonight and see how it looks in the a.m.

 

[Curlybeauty]

You looked so pissed in that one pic

I like the first one. Maybe if you use some setting lotion on it for hold, it would do pretty good!

 

[~~HoneyComb~~]

It looks great SF!!!

How long does it last? The last time I did a bantu-knot out, all the waves fell out by Noon.

 

[BillsBackerz67]

So pretty i already know better not to try

So pretty i already know better not to try

If I can HALFWAY do it, you have a good chance!

 

[Highly Favored8]

You did a nice job.

 

[exoticmommie]

Hey girl! I am glad you shared pictures. It came it nice.

Maybe you should try smaller sections. I would say 12 knots as the least. I noticed that when I do it with larger sections. It doesn't come out right. They fall easier and it is less defined.

That is a lot of hair though, look at the size of them knots!

Maybe you should either try smaller sections. I noticed that when I do it with larger sections. It doesn't come out right. And it is less defined.

The smaller ones were the ones that were messed up but the medium sized ones were ok. Imma try it again tonight and see what happens.
