[Tinkerbell19]

Hey Ladies

My pic in my avatar is nl or shorter with bantu knots. I have some in my photo album too.

I did them on dry hair and I was relaxed at the time. I spritzed water and cond mix on them after I twisted. Then went under the dryer for a little while, slept on them, and pulled apart with my fingers. HTH

I attached some pics

Yes, I bobby pinned them. One time I was able to twist them and tuck the ends under, but they were more secure with bobby pins.

How many knots did you make?

When i've done bantu knots (which i dont do as much before but i did it more often when my hair was a little shorter), i secured them with hair pins, not bobby pins. I feel that they work better with less damage. I would never do fewer than 6 sections. would usually spritz some water on dry hair and add some oil. However, my bantu knot outs always end up big and fluffy instead of hanging curls. I cant wait till my hair gets longer so it will hang better.

Wow, this is a old thread, but I made 10-13 knots.

Edit: You can also use kiddy ponytail holders.

Do you get better results with wet hair or dry hair?

This ? is for me, yes/no?

Well, when I was relaxed I could only do it on dry hair. I couldn't grip the wet hair like I wanted to, without risking damage. I would spritz a little water on it after I was finished.

Here's a pic of a bantu knot set done on wet hair. My hair was shoulder length and relaxed at the time, and I used 6 knots.

I plan to try this on my natural hair this weekend...it should be interesting

Thanks ladies. I think I'll try it with damp hair.

Yep smaller glumps of hair and also i braid them before putting them into knots. i find I get better curls. I also do mine on damp hair.
