So, after the miserable twist out from New Year's day I went searching for something on YouTube. I watched a few videos and got hooked on the Bantu Knots. Most of you already know that I don't like spending a lot of time twisting my hair. So, I decided to do 6 Bantu Knots on the side of my head giving me a fro hawk look.
So, these Bantu Knots are far from prefect and I'm using pins to keep them in, but this is only my second attempt at Bantu Knots. I plan to sleep with the pins in and then take them out in the morning. If the knots stay, great! If not I will simply make my fro hawk with combs. I sprayed the front of my hair with some water and used my Denman brush to make my quick curls.
I really like the Bantu Knot look and would love to have my whole head done, but I don't have the skill, patience, and I think I need more length to make the knots look great. I loved Jada Pinkett-Smith's Bantu Knots from the Matrix and my tiny knots look nothing like hers because she had longer hair.
If the knots survive the night I will take some pictures in the morning without the pins. Until next time...
Blessings!
That is cute Jen!

@Chastity The Bantu Knot didn't survive. I will post my chunky twist out results tomorrow. Cross your fingers that this twist out comes out better this time.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is sooo curly. How long does it take you to put the bantu knots in when you do your whole head?
ReplyDelete@RadiantBrownBeauty I haven't done my whole head yet. These 6 knots took me 20 minutes. I would love to do my whole head, but I want more length so that the knots stay in place without any pins.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute style!! why have I never thought about it?
ReplyDeleteYou'll probably be able to replicate the Jada Pinkett-Smith look in no time.
