Can someone tell me the how to's to Bantu knots or would it be best to get them done at the salon? I want some about like Jada's in The Matrix.

I'd like to know too. I tried to do them out of a hair book but it didn't work. http://www.naani.com/bantu_zulu_knots.htm Oh my sister did this style on me when I was 10.

You take a portion of your hair and twist it. Continue to twist it until it begans to twirl around itself and then wrap it ( as if you are styling a bun) then secure the ends at the base or bobbypin or use mini scrunches to keep it in place

I have my hair in bantu knots right now. I wanted to try them in order to take heat off my hair. After washing and conditioning, I spritzed my hair with leave-in conditioner and them alittle moisturizer. Before I twisted, I used alittle olive oil on the ends. I took them out this morning and left it curly. They look really good and they don't feel dry at all.
