Try some bantu knots on slightly damp hair.

 

[Dee-Licious]

Hmmm.. about how many bantus (my hair is a little past shoulder) because my bantus always seem to end up like spirals and not wavy(ish) like this style...

 

[LocksOfLuV]

I was going to say Bantu knots too. Maybe you should make them bigger.

 

[RubyWoo]

Those look like big waves to me with some curl on the ends. I would do one or two big braids or one or two twists on your head and put a rod on the end(s). The bigger the braid or twist, the bigger the wave you'll get. If you opt to do bantu knots, I would only do one or two knots the most since you want big curls or waves. However, if I was doing this style on my hair, I would only do one braid or twist on wet hair.

 

[Divine Inspiration]

I agree; 4-5 bantu knots on moisturized hair, then separate then with your fingers.

 

[RubyWoo]

I was also thinking that maybe you could do the braid(s)or twist(s) loose to make a bigger wave.

 

[Dee-Licious]

hmmmm... knew you ladies would have some great ideas... now I have to pick which one to try today.... thanks ya'll!!

I have been able to achieve this style by doing braidouts. The older it gets, the looser it gets, creating a more wavy look. I use the perm rod rollers on the ends to get the curls.

This is only a couple of days after a braidout..................

This is about 5 days after a braidout.....the waves have loosened a little.

 

[Divine Inspiration]

Wow, BB, that's really pretty...how many braids do you make?

 

[blackbarbie]

Thanks! When I initially do it on wet hair, I do 10 (3 on each side and 4 in the top, going down like a mohawk). Then as I do it each night before I go to bed, I just do 2 or 3 and put the roller on the ends. (JUST figured out that I only have to do 2 or 3 following the initial set; I had been still doing 10 every night before I go to bed)

 

[Divine Inspiration]

Sounds good. I don't usually do that many, but I'm going to try it this week and see how it turns out. Thanks!

Beautiful!!! Did you do individuals,cornrows, flat twists, plaits, or what???

I just did individual plaits and then put the rollers on the ends. (I used the small magnetic rollers in the past, but now I use perm rollers b/c you can get more of the plait around it and it doesn't leave a dent)

Here is a pic of my hair when I rollerset last weekend. I wish I would of gotten some pics of the back. But what I did instead of starting at the ends and rolling my hair down I start mid way and wrap the ends around the roller couple of times then roll down. This gives me a more spiral look. I dont like to comb my hair into a wrap after rollersetting (to eliminate stress) so I like to have some curl too it. Also my NG is outrageous right now on the sides and I dont smooth them down w/ anything....just let my hair run wild Hope that helps it kinda has those spiral curls that Halle has in that pic. Sorry if the pic is big

 

[Dee-Licious]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hmmmm... cute idea... I'm sooooo gonna have to try this.. what color rollers did you use??

 

[bablou00]

The teal and the biege. They are the smaller ones but I like tight curls so when I wear my hair up it has some volume and curl to it. I am sitting in rollers now and I will take better pics of the back and sides when I take down and put them in here tomorrow.

 

[Lavendar]

Hey MsDee, just like the other ladies mentioned, I have done this style with bantu knots and the waves came out very similar. I just did three, one on each side and one in the middle of my head in the back.

OT: Ms. BlackBarbie, I ain't hardly messing with you and them arm muscles!

 

[Vshanell]

I agree with bantu knots. You can definitely get that look with those. Just don't do a whole lot (I would do 1 or 2) because you will get a tighter curl/wave than hers.

Her hair looks like when I roll mine in two buns overnight.
