Soft & Fluffy Bantu Knot Out

Heyyyy Y'all!! Hope you had a great holiday weekend!
Recently I did a post about refreshing a flat twist out by doing a Bantu Knot out. It was the first time I was doing a Bantu Knot out since my big hair days and I wasn't sure if I'd like it. To my surprise I like it, no, I LOVED it! So of course I had to take another crack at it. This time I used the Taliah Wajjid Protective Mist Bodifier (Leave-in), my Shea butter mix, EVOO, and of course water in a spray bottle when needed. 



The Process

On damp hair I created a side part in the front like I do with most of my styles. Parted into four sections then 4-5 "knot sections" per section. When working on a "knot section" I worked in some of the leave-in followed by Shea butter (only on ends) then finishing with the EVOO (worked for me but a different order might work for others). Next, I used my Denman brush to smooth out my strands, my hair was already detangled. Once twisted I secured each knot with a bobby pin. If your hair is longer you probably won't need any though. 

The Results

My hair obtained better hold while feeling soft, fluffy and moisturized! Great results without any styler, gel or puddings. Plus! I love it. Comment with your thoughts/suggestions for next time! 

Love you for reading ;-*
