Your hair doesn't have to be straight. It can be in its natural state, relaxed, texlaxed, whatever! I just want to see some pics of different types of bantu knot out styles...dry,wet, damp sets... yep all dat
 
um I hope mine are okay, in the first one I had two big bantu knots and in the second 4
on dry hair that was dampened a bit

I lightly flat-ironed my hair using jojoba oil. Then I did the bantu knots--I didn't use any other products because I didn't want my hair to frizz, but the style didn't hold throughout the day like I would have liked it to.

I think I had around 20+ bantu knots on my head for this style. It was really cute when I took the pics in the morning, but by mid-day, all the curls fell.

My hair is currently straight and a few days before I wash, I may do another bantu set, this time adding a little aloe vera gel to hold and see how that works.
 
My bantu knot outs NEVER came out right:ohwell:, any tips for them on natural hair?

Is it best to do them on wet , dry, or damp hair?

Have you tried twisting each section before you twist it into the knot? That may help. I've only done them on damp hair but I haven't done one in ages.

For me I have to do them on dry or only slightly damp hair because they take FOREVER to dry! I also like the way they look when I straighten it first. Which is what I did in the pics below and in my siggy. HTH.

Oh my lawd :blush: I totally forgot that I had achieved a semi successful bantu knot out a year ago:lachen:...

kmn1980 I did exactly what you advised and it did come out better than a regular bantu knot out...Uniqzoe you are totally right, I remember that it did come out better on dry hair...

This is exactly what happend

I did the first set on wet hair

It came out a hot mess because my roots just did not dry:nono:

So I let my hair dry, and since it was somewhat stretched out, I did bigger knots on my dry hair

and got this...way better than the first result:yep:

I had issues with the way it was falling, it just wasnt uniform enough (tips on that please?) So I just did an updo with it...

Yeah girl, I was the one who could see peoples PM lists. :blush: I was signed in as Gin, then Poochie147, and then somebody else. I was like this HAS t be fixed!!!

Anyhoo, on the loose looking knot out it was done on dry hair and no product that I can remember and the tighter looking set was done on slightly dampened air and Vaseline. :blush:
 
~Sparklingflame~, Yeah that is crazy, at least after next week, well be back to normal! I would love to elaborate more on it, but I don't want to hijack the thread!:look:
 
meatstarandjerrys.bmp.jpg I don't know how to make his pic larger. One of my friends did this for me. My hair was blowdryed and twisted into small bantu knots.
 
I just recently did my bantu-knot-outs on unstretched natural hair...
