So, you know, I’m kinda addicted to IG nowadays. And when I saw this HAWT hair pic posted by @PrincessLinz HAWT pic (who I got to meet at the CurlyNikki Meet-up this past summer), I had to ask her for a tutorial! Hope that you like it!!

Bantu Knot Out Process on Wet Hair
- I co-wash my hair and use my usual leave-in: Curl Junkie Curl Rehab mixed with water and put into a spray bottle.
- Section my hair in 4 sections and begin with the right side (just out of habit).
- Make smaller sections within those 4 sections and spray my hair with my leave-in concoction from root to tip.
- Take a dime size of Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk Pudding and run it through each small section from root to tip.
- Create corkscrew/buns throughout my entire head.
- Let hair air dry over night.
- If my roots are still wet, I use a blow dryer on warm/cool and dry my roots.
- Then, I remove each corkscrew/bantu knot and separate each one so that the curls look fuller and creates more body.
- Shake head from side to side, pick my roots with my fingers and voilà … you get this:
Day 1
Day 2
When I bantu knot on straightened hair I do not use any product just hair pins.

It’s Friday tomorrow, so I am going to try this tonight with dry hair and bobby pins. I flat ironed my hair Christmas Day, but have been wearing it in two french braids. If it fails, hey – it’s Friday! LOL
