relaxed ladies, what do you use for the perfect Bantu knot out?

A light holding gel, curl cream, what?

I would love to know this too. I washed my hair on Thursday and put some IC fantasia leave in treatment followed by African Pride Olive Miracle leave in conditioner (new formula) On some of the damp strands i warmed Shea butter in the Microwave till it turned liquid and my hair hated it. (too sticky) on the other half side of my head i blow dried on cold air for a mere 3 mins still leaving it damp and my Bantu knots came out very defined all over but still very dry looking hair. I still have the curls this morning but i'm trying to get rid of them.
BTW i'm natural.

I haven't did a Bantu knot in YEARS but when I do twist outs, the trick for me is using the LCO method and incorporating a small amount of protein in their somewhere. My best twist outs are the result of L- water, C- SD Wheat Germ Conditioner and O- Organix Awapuhi Ginger dry styling oil. It leaves my hair moisturized and fluffy. That's my best combination so far.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

I never do them on wet hair, instead I do them on dry hair and use a little curl cream. My latest favorite is Aveeno Nourish and Style soft hold gel cream.

My bantu knot outs work best on dry hair as well. I use a butter and oil to seal. The butter gives it that lushness as opposed to a flat look and shine from the oil of course. HOWEVER, bantu knot outs don't last on relaxed hair (well MY relaxed hair) the way it does for naturals. *shrugs*
