Question for Bantu knot ladies

[DarkVictory]

Do you wear your Bantu knots as a style or only as a way of setting/curling your hair? Do you do just a few (3? 6? 8?) or a lot of them? Do you do your parts in a pattern or just do each one by eye?

Saw a lady at a festival last week with some really cute ones and now I want to try them for the summer. Any tips?

I wear my bantu knots as a style. For tight curls I do smaller sections (maybe about 12-15 knots by eye). I wore a loser style last weekend and did about 5 large sections with a head band. I always moisturize and seal with a oil and unravel lightly with oil.
