HOW TO GET PERFECT BANTU KNOT OUTS ON DRY NATURAL HAIR
By Hadassah Agbaps - December 15, 2015
Hi people, what's been on?
In the last post, I shared tips for going natural via the big chop and by transitioning.
When transitioning, it can be difficult blending the two textures in such a way it looks presentable especially when you work in a coporate office.
Both of the models I used in this tutorial work in the bank.
PRODUCTS USED.
- SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie (any leave I
in conditioner)
- Organics Root Stimulator Wrap and Set Mousse (or setting lotion/mousse of choice)
- NappyGirl UberMoist Pudding (Or hair butter/thick oil of choice).
- Hair dryer on low setting to speed up drying. I used a portable bonnet dryer in both cases.
PROCEDURE
- I started with dried hair (both the natural hair and transitioning hair).
-I parted out a small section of hair (about half to 1 inch sections). The smaller the sections the faster it dried.
- Applied one pump of ORS Mousse, then a finger sized amount of SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and then a small amount of NappyGirl Pudding.
- Repeat for all sections.
- Allow to dry completely overnight. Any moisture will make the curls fall. I used a portable bonnet dryer to speed up drying.
- Once hair was dry, I oiled my hands (any light oil of choice) and unwrapped the knots carefully by winding in the opposite direction.
- I separated just once and used an afro pick comb to pick out the roots gently to hide any parts.
- Daz all!
Here are the results.
