Bantu Knots - Keep trying until you get it right!

OMG - someone should've warned me that attempting to create this marvelous, elegant style would've given me a run for my money. Introducing Bantu Knots for those that are unaware of this style. They are soft swiveled curls. This is a quick and easy hair do that's easy to maintain.

So many tutorials are on YouTube showing failed attempts and attempts that have been successful. Well I tell you, it's a skill to try this out. You may not get it right on the first try but continue trying and you will find your own way of styling them to fit you. I tried over the weekend and wasn't pleased with my results. They came out tight and matted in some areas. I don’t wash my hair every day, but I tell ya - I hurried and washed those curls out.

I refused to fail at something I know I can accomplish, so I tried again only with a different plan. Instead of making the coils small and precise; I evenly parted my hair into larger coils. In addition, I moisturized my hair with Extra Coconut Oil. This method worked! I am very pleased with the results. There's always room for improvement. So I will try other ways of styling the Bantu style in hopes to be happy with the results.

Until next time - Maintain your beautiful hair!
