How to creat Bantu Knots on Hair [my Messy Bantu knot out end result]

For the record this is my first ever Bantu Knot out see videos and end result in the pictures below.
This style is formed when your hair is twisted around itself until it forms a knot that resembles a stack of tires.  When you remove the knots your hair will resemble a corkscrew rope. Hair may then be separated with your fingers and, if necessary, finger combed to loosen the curl and shape it into the style you desire.  The finished result is a head full of springy, bouncy curls that may be as tight or loose, as defined or tousled as you desire.  It is an awesome way to style your hair without using heat and does not require much manipulation.

• Start with detangled, well moisturized hair.  You want your hair to be smooth when creating the knots – tangled, dry or rough hair will not achieve the look you desire.
• You can do bantu knots on DRY, WET or DAMP hair!   The end result varies for example if you bantu knot on wet or damp hair the end result is either semi defined or messy coils while the end result on dry hair comes out well defined and very curly.  Dry hair that is well moisturized produces the best results. [i personally made my bantu knot on damp hair].
• Create sections according to the final look you want.  If you want to show your length, or have loose waves rather than defined curls make between two and four sections.  If you want large curls create 6-8 sections and for tight, springy curls do 10+ sections [personally i create 16 bantu knots on my head].
• Do not over twist your hair.  Twisting the hair too tightly can stress your hair and cause.  Instead twist the hair about three to five times then wrap it on itself and continue until all the hair is twisted and wrapped into the knot.
•  Use a moisturizing product with a light hold rather than synthetic gel or mousse.  If the product creates too much hold, the hair will not “fall” into a natural style.  Also synthetic gels and mousses can be drying and therefore damaging to the hair, instead opt for butters and pomades or natural plant gel based products such as aloevera gel or flaxseed gel base product

 Use the greenhouse effect method at night use the greenhouse effect (cover with a shower cap) to create steam that helps “set” the style [personally i use cling film it grips my head better and more light weight].  In the morning after you remove the shower cap, your hair will be damp but do not disturb the knots until your hair is completely dry.  It usually takes about 15 minutes.  By doing this it gives the same lasting power as a bantu knot out that has been done on wet hair. just like this.

•  Unscrew the knot.  Do not pull the knot apart; instead unscrew your hair to keep the form of the curl.  After the hair is loose the curl will still be intact and you can separate it gently using your fingers. [personally i wanted to have a very messy look so i finger combed my hair and pulled the knots apart to form this look].

Pineapple at night to preserve the curls.  After a full day of sporting your curly look, pin the hair up on the top of your head as shown below (or use a large ponytail holder) and wrap the sides with a scarf.  I also sleep in a satin bonnet night cap to keep my hair intact.  In the morning, pull the hair down with your fingers and style, your curls will be just as cute as the previous day.
