Bantu Knots


Bantu knot out

Good Day
Bantu knots done.  
1.you'll need Shea Butter & Leave on/in conditioner.
2. section your head into 4 parts.
3.work on each section by taking whatever size you want & apply Leave On/In & Shea butter(i use Revlon Shea milk butter) & Twist hair until the end & Twirl until a KNOT is formed. Make sure its not too tight as you'd not want tension on your scalp.
4.do this continuously & wait for the next morning to undo
