Knot Out (Pictures)

[Leeda.the.Paladin]

I took my bantu knots out yesterday. It was very interesting to hear the reactions from people at work before I took them out. One person called them “Cinnamon Rolls”, someone said my hair was “all balled up”.

I got double takes quite often (LOL!) and my knots got a friendly tap here and there all day. I think people at work sometimes get a kick out of my hair and that’s fine with me as long as it’s in a friendly way. I’ve never seen Bantu knots in person before, so I’m happy to bring the style to work with me.




Bantu knots will definitly be a repeat style for me. I love them! Anyway, on to the knot out.









I liked it. It didn’t quite turn out as uniform as I expected, but I liked it and it got a lot of compliments (even from DH!). When I originally took the knots out, they were very shrunken, which I was expecting. I twisted my hair right after removing the knots, applied some KBB Super Silky, and tied it down with a scarf. The big twists really help to stretch the hair out but retain the knot out pattern.

I also wore it back with just the bang part peeking out some.​

This is my second time doing this style, the first time turned out badly, but this time was better.

Next time I think I will get it just right.

Pretty! I love bantu knots too...and that was a great idea to do twists after taking them down to stretch out the hair further!

Cute!

Bantu knot outs are the only style that consistently look good on me. I always just let my hair fall naturally instead of stretching it right after, that way I can keep the style for a week. It starts as a curly fro and then it seems to morph day by day.

I may try this method next time, but I have to go swimming tomorrow and didn't want to wait for it to fall.

Well, it was a friendly tap and I knew the person, so I didn't mind

Looks great! I can't every seem to get them to work.

Keep trying! My first time was disastrous, but I'm getting better.
