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. ------------- DiamondPrincess

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 - http://www.naani.com/bantu_zulu_knots.htm Oh my sister did this style on me when I was 10. ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair.

| 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. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |
