Re-done a hair style without washing and starting over?

I have a 2 day old Bantu Knot out and it still looks good but today is thursday and I want to go out tomorrow after work and I want them to look fresh. I also don't feel like washing and blow Drying (it came out great on dry hair).

So I'm hoping that I can just spray some Moisture Mist and use my Cantu Shea butter leave in to re-do them without them looking frizzy or unkempt.

Any ladies done this before?? If so what was your outcome.

When I was relaxed I did this all the time. I would spray it with a bit of water, add moisturizer, bit of oil and bantu knot it back up. I cowashed about 2 or 3 times a week because it would get a little too dry, but a couple of days didn't matter.

Your hair looks really cute, by the way.

Thank you!

So now that you're transitioning have you done it? I'm 15 months post relaxer now.

Mmhmm. All of my braidouts are done this way.

I just detangle with the Jane Carter Solution Revitalizing Leave-In, apply Hairveda's Almond Glaze, and twist.

I have braidout pics in my album.

Thank you!

So now that you're transitioning have you done it? I'm 15 months post relaxer now.

Especially when I was transitioning (I'm natural now). I transitioned until I was 19 months post and especially at the end I found it such a hassle to wash my hair. I had to be so careful with my ends and all..
Redoing them in stead of washing my hair first helped a lot because of the low manipulation. When I was transitioning I had to fully detangle after every wash.

Now that I've BCed I've just done wash and goes, but when it gets too cold in the winter I think I'll go back to bantu knot outs and redoing them at night. I'm sure if I started doing this now it would help with tangles and ssk's, but I'm so happy to be natural right now I have to get those WnG's out of my system.

Congrats on making 15 months!
