Flat Twist/Bantu Knot Out Inspired By Naptural85



I've had Naptural85's How To Bantu Knot Out video favorited on Youtube for quite some time now. I decided to try the style last night at the last minute. I styled on wet hair and only used Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer (by the way, they are having a Mother's Day Sale tomorrow! Use code: BBBMOM for 15% off your purchase). I parted in random sections and detangled with my fingers and a comb. The entire process took maybe 30-40 minutes. The next morning I removed her satin bonnet and took the bantu knots out. Her hair, especially the back, was still quite damp but I went ahead and took the twists out anyway. Next time I will work on slightly damp hair because bantu knots take entirely too long to try. If I had waited for her hair to completely dry I think it would be less frizzy in the back. I still loved the results though, she loves it, too!

Check out the video from Naptural85. Her hair is gorgeous!

    Love the way this turned out!

    I almost always do flat twists for Syd's twist outs, but I have never turned the twists into bantu knots. Definitely putting this one on my gotta-try-it list!

    Thanks for sharing naptural85's video. While I didn't do bantu knots, I did a twist out on my blond curly girl. I loved it, and learned a few things to do differently next time.

    I love the way this turned out! I don't like the way any of my 'outs' turn out in my daughters hair. Twist out, braid out, it must be the product. IDK.
