Thanks chocolate, like I told Lindy I don't think I do anything special to them. I do 9 bantu knots. 4 in the front, 4 in the middle and one in the back. I just pull them apart with my fingers. They don't always come out looking as good as they did in that picture but they are always spirally. On the days when they don't come out good I just throw it in a ponytail. That's become my favorite. This lady at my job asked me one time if I had a curly piece attachment on my hair. LOL...I guess that was a compliment when I told her no she looked at me like "yeah right". I just do conditioner washes and put some leave in and then twist them up. Now I use surge and sta sof fro cause I'm trying to stretch my relaxer. I think putting the Mango butter on it is key though because my hair is not dry when I loosen up the curls. I've started doing this like once every 3 days. I sit under the dryer for about 1/2 hour (tip from model chick). and then I go to bed and take them out in the morning. Depending on how tight the curls are I either wear it up in a ponytail or down. Also at night I don't tie it up cause then the curls will get flat. I just sleep on a satin pillow case. I don't even put a bonnet on although I think I am going to try and put one on and see how that works out.
