Bantu knots are a great protective style and it's an effective heat-less curling method as well. They can however, be a little tricky to do and sometimes the curls don't turn out the way you would like. Recently, I've tried a different way of doing them and the results were awesome. So, here's how to get your best bantu knot out and in even less time.
Step 1: Start with damp or wet hair. If your hair is dry, spritz it with water.
Step 2: Grab a small section of hair, starting in the back of your head, detangle with your fingers or a wide tooth comb, apply your favorite moisturizer, and twist it as much as your hair will allow. In most cases, people do a 2 strand twist, however, by doing a single strand twist, the curls are more stretched out, shinier, and take half the time to do. (Think of it as the same method used when you're doing finger coils.)
Step 3: Wrap the twist into a little ball or a "bantu knot". Continue until all of your hair is in bantu knots.
Step 4: Wrap your hair with your satin scarf and leave the style in until your hair drys, but you can also leave it in for a couple days because it actually is a cute style.
Step 5: Unravel the bantu knots and reveal beautiful, manageable curls!
