Hey Ladies...

I wore a bantu knot out today. I wanted to share a close-up of the curls as they sat on my shoulders... :lick:

Sorry the first pic is so dark... the second pic shows my hair in natural sunlight.

Thanks guys!! It was super easy, you guys should try it. Here are the steps I took:

  • Twisted a total of 5 knots; 1 over each ear, 1 at the crown, and 2 in the back.
  • Applied my leave-in conditioner (cantu shea butter/aloe vera juice/castor oil/coconut oil mix) to the length of my hair.
  • Sealed my ends with grease (yes, grease!)
  • Applied one pump of my ORS Wrap/Set mouse to each section
  • Twisted the knots and set them overnight.
When I took them down, the curls were big, soft, shiny, and flowy. I love it! :yep:

Here's a pic of the back of the set...

Ive done a lot of Bantu Knot sets, but almost exclusively on wet hair, Im gonna try it on dry, I really like how your hair turned out!
 
Relaxed ladies can you recommend a moisturizer that I can purchase at the B.S/locally??

I normally use Qhemet Burdock Root but Im nearly out and with the way things are looking with her website and etc, I wont be able to get any anytime soon; I usually buy it locally but the salon doesnt carry Qhemet anymore.

So please help a sista out!
 
Ladies, when you go to the salon and get your hair flat ironed, how does the stylist get your hair from wet to dry? Do you sit under the hooded dryer or do she blow dry? I don't get my hair flat ironed unless I'm getting a trim, which I will be getting a TU and trim tomorrow. Last time she flat ironed me, she sat me under the hooded dryer for about 10 - 15 mins and blow dried me the rest of the way with heat. Just curious.

divachyk Mine is similar. I sit under for 30 then...
 
Ladies, I flat ironed. I love my hair right now - smooth silky touchable hair. My air dried hair is a mess with tangles galore. It's crazy. I know heat is the devil at LHCF but I really need something that will make my hair this silky and touchable without damage.

I havent had any luck with rollersetting, but I am willing to give it a try after I cut my damaged ends off.

Pleeeaaase any ideas.

divachyk,

This is exactly how my stylist does it.:grin:
 
I am now officially relaxed again, didn't do the greatest job but lol. I transitioned in 2005.
My hair is feeling rather dry but I haven't used any kind of heat on it, it has a loose wavy texture although some areas are still a bit curl.
I guess I'll see how this goes... I may decide to transition next month for all I know :lol:

yes my old stylist would do this. i do this sometimes myself. i think that is the best way. sometimes she would let me get 70%-80% dry and then blow dry me. kind of like air drying before you blow dry.

please post some pics!

i have no issues with heat! when i use heat, i have less tangles, less breakage, and less shedding for some odd reason. flat ironing my roots during the new growth phase helped me out so much. i say do what works! when i was relaxed before and going to the salon. i used heat once a week with no problem. i would wrap my hair and it would last. my hair was very healthy.
 
I did a braid out last night, and instead of rolling my ends, I bantu’d them, turned out cute.. I just used water, ORS Olive Oil Moisturizing Oil and CoConut Oil.

Here are a couple of pics

L ovely bantu knot out KhandiB. I fret for my ends when I do twist outs and bantu knot outs. For some reason my hair especially the ends feels a bit dry when I do them, no matter how much moisturizer I use.

KhandiB, It turned out FABULOUS!!
 
Loving - Have you tried water? I always have trouble with my ends and water and oil/moisturizer always help me. I still havent gotten a twist out down though. With this style I just did 4 braids and bantu'd them.

KiWiStyle - Thank you!!
