Bantu Knots!

Hi Beauties! 

I’ve had the same twist out now for about a week! My curls are still defined and it honestly could last a couple more days, but I decided to do a little experiment with Bantu Knots(single strand twist and then taking the twist and twirling it to the scalp in a knotted fashion).

I’ve tried Bantu Knots in the past on wet hair and this time I wanted to try it on semi dry hair from an old twist out to see what kind of result I would get. 

I finger parted my hair and gently detangled each section by spritzing it with water and using my denman brush to smooth the hair. After I got my hair smooth enough I used a couple pumps of my brand new Carol’s Daughter Macadamia Heat Setting Foam. 

I purchased this product last week at the launch of the Macadamia Heat Styling collection. I will do a full product review soon! 

I added this product to my hair and then smoothed hair again with the denman brush. Once my hair was smooth enough, I simply did a single strand twist and then twirled the twist (essentially wrapping the hair around itself) until a fake knot was formed. 

Usually, if you have kinky/curly hair it is easy for the hair to secure itself once you run out of hair to wrap around. If this isn’t the case a simple bobby pin will do the trick. 

I did about five Bantu Knots on each side of my head and put a silk cap on my hair for it to set over night.

Tomorrow, I will do a pictorial of my results! I was just very excited to let you all know what I did to my hair today. It’s a very simple process that took my all of 20 minutes. You don’t need many tools, products or much time! 

I also love this style because all hair types can do it (short hair, twas, long hair, medium length) it doesn’t matter! And everyone will get a different unique look. 

Is this something that you think you can give a try?
