Bantu knots

Now that I have become some what of an expert in wash -and -go and twist-outs, the next hair style to try are the bantu knots.

Bantu knots are done by parting the hair into sections, applying product then twist/roll them into knots as seen above. This hair style must have been inspired by African; so many young girls in rural areas wear their hair like this. Young women also wear their hair like this during their traditional wedding.

So one can wear the hair in the knot for a few day or un-do them after a few hours for results as follows

 The curls are different form that of twist outs, more wavy depending on the size of the knots.

So...... ghen ghen! operation bantu knots will soon commence, When I feel up to it lol ( lazy Ntete)

Twist outs on dry hair for a wedding

My Friend Bridget got married on 4th of August, it was a very intimate event with her family and close friends. She looked so beautiful in her ivory colored dress with red accessories. 

Beautiful Bride

I attended the wedding rocking twist outs and accessorized with a white flower. I tried a different method of twist outs. This time I started out on dry hair, applied gel and twisted the hair. I prefer this method because I didn't have to deal with wet hair, having to wait for it to dry a little before I wrapped it up. The twists came out the same though.

I still have a lot to learn about how to get really nice twist out, but its a learn as you go, trial and error kinda thing. I love my natural hair it makes me stand out where ever I go.

Congrats to Bridget, wish her many years of a happy fruitful marriage.
