BANTU KNOT OUT RESULTS



I am very pleased because this is my 1st bantu knot that came out fairly decent. The first bantu knot attempt I did was wet BUT I did two strand twists, and that was no successful for me. Then I tried the same method dry, still had horrible results .Saturday night I did my bantu knot wet and instead of two strand twists I just simply twisted the hair until it drew up to my scalp. I am happy with the results. I think if I continue to do it, the results will get better and better :)

BTW, BANTU KNOTS look so good on LOCS!!!!!!!



Tell me what you think... or leave suggestions if u have any?
Also, I am trying to figure out a way to do a loose bun on my hair. Any suggestions? I may be going to the hospital soon, and I do not know if they will admit me but just in case, what should I do my hair?

African American Protective Styling

I have never, since being natural, had a "protective style" and I really would like to get one soon. I have been super interested in two syles, in particular. My first style is are flat twists into a bun, my second is a full (braided up) sew in weave. I really would like a short, sassy, funky style but idk abt cutting my real hair to achieve that look so that s why the weave option is appealing to me.

I do have a few concerns about the weave style though. Maybe someone can help me. I have never ever worn a weave and I know nothing about what kind of hair is good to use? How much is too much to pay to have something like this done? And is weave even a good protective style, if the hair is braided underneath?
I attempted a bantu knot out last night. I have not taken t out yet BUT I will def let you guys know my results. In fact I will take pics an upload them for you to see (failed or not failed).
PEACE & CURLS
