Your hair is so thick and full! See I'm glad I'm not the only one the bko don't look right on SL hair. I'm telling you epic fail every time lol. It looks gr8 on your shorter hair though. I'm going to try and find some YT videos on bko on SL hair and see what they are doing.

HPG I don't know what the deal is with that. I won't give up though. Maybe different length needs different techniques. On my way to YT as well.

I think I am going to try bantu knot out on my twa thanks to some of the pics in this thread.

Thanks so much for posting ladies. I was sure this thread would end up on page 34765 of the forum and I wouldn't get to see all of this beautiful hair!

Do you remember what you used for the bantu knot knot out on your twa?
I'm wondering if I should use something like a butter or if a regular creamy leave in would work just the same.

KammyGirl i used silk dreams almond buttercream to moisturize, and set the knots with silk dreams mocha bling butter in this particular picture. I have also had similar or better results with silk dreams mocha hair milk and the natural me whipped Shea butter. Either way I got super soft non greasy curls.
My hair is mostly 4c (zigzag shape with not much definition) with some 4b sections.

This is soooo pretty. What did you curl the ends with? Nice and full.

Thanks. I used perming rods as usual.

Here are few of my humble braid out pics. Some times I comb them out for a big fluffy look and I try to do as fw braids as I can get away with. Plus I'm WL and I braid half my hair and roll the other half on perm rods to get it short.

So here's my 2nd attempt at bantu knotting my hair...smh just plain failure. I cannot get this to work for me. I'm thinking I need something with more hold. Le sigh I won't give up though.

Another Bantu knot out. I did about 8 knots, set with coconut oil on previous roller set hair.

Here's a high bun I did on that old Bantu knotted out hair from a few days ago. I generally only wear the set down for a day or two, then throw it in a ponytail or bun.

^^^ beautiful hair. What did u twist with?

 

[Victoria44]

Braid-outs set on wet hair or dry

Hardly do twist outs... They're a hit or miss

Done from 10-12 twists


Done from mini twists

I've never done Bantu knots, I love how they look on other people, I just can't get the knot to stay lol

1.25 c. Aloe Vera juice
1/2 c. Oil mix (olive, coconut, avocado)
1/3 c. Honey powder
1/3 c. Egg yolk powder
1/4 c. Glycerin
5 drops tea tree
5 drops thyme
5 drops rosemary
Fragrance (optional)







Spray:
3 parts conditioner (I use VO5)
4 parts distilled water
2 parts aloe vera juice
1 part oil, botanicals, essential oils, & glycerin

Yay, one of my go-to styles.

When my hair was shorter:

This was done on flat ironed hair that reverted.
