Does anyone have a bantu knot tutorial for natural or relaxed hair. I'm interested in doing a bantu knot-out on my hair, but first I have to learn how to do the knots. Thank you!

I couldn't find Ms. Reiko's Fokti? Help!!

HTH.
I have a hard time knowing the difference between pincurls and bantu knots.
When I think of pin curls, I think that they HAVE to come out and be curly. Knots are a style in and of themselves.
As for me, I section the hair about the width I would for a braid or something and just twirl the hair around until it folds up on itself. You can also do this with a twist or a braid. Then you fold the hair up towards the base of the coil/twirl/twist/braid and wrap the remainder of your hair around and around the base of your knot and then tuck the end into the base of the knot. Or if your hair is short and won't hold (or won't hold for any other reason), then you can use black rubber bands. I just make sure to buy the kind that say they won't snap or break your hair.

Ah, looked at the video. Wow. videos on Fotki, I'm not quite there yet. Anyways, her twists are swirling like a conch shell/cinnamon bun, but knots are supposed to come up and out. Like Jada Pinkett-Smith in the Matrix, or in my fotki or a lot of others. The password's in my profile. I also have a photo of a knot-out in my transitioning folder.
Honeycomb--you and your hair are so beautiful! I love your flexirod sets and flat twists--one of these days I'll learn how to do them.Does anyone have a bantu knot tutorial for natural or relaxed hair.
