Bantu style

[AKA-Tude]

I notice some ladies stating that they tie their hair bantu style at night.

Maybe there's been a previous thread on this, but for those of us who are new (or not-so-new), please enlighten us on the bantu style headwrap.

TIA

This is an old thread....but I want to know.

I haven't heard of a "bantu style headwrap". What I do know of is people putting their hair into bantu knots when it's kinda damp (or maybe not) and then wearing a wavy style when they undo the knots. Here's a "how-to" on creating bantu knots: http://www.roshini.net/journal/2003/2003_8_1.htm

Reniece demonstrates how she wears bantu knots and a satin scarf to create waves in photos 1-3: http://public.fotki.com/Reniece20/h..._hair_growth_challenge/my_satin_scarf_method/

I co-wash 2x/day. At night, I apply my oils/butters to my damp hair and then place my hair in bantu knots. After entire head is done, I cover w/ a scarf and go to bed. In the morning, I undo the knots and my hair feels really soft and moisturized. On the days that I don't feel like co-washing in the morning, I fluff out my knots and wear a fro.

Thanks for this info guys... my problem is that I was trying to use bobby pins instead of rubberbands/hair elastics (DUH!)!

You don't have to do either as they can break your hair. I just loop my hair around and kinda tuck it under and it stays. I don't use anything to hold it in place.

That is exactly how I do mine too. I have a picture of the results in my profile.
