Hello lovelies! I decided to do a dry Bantu Knot Out the other night, and it turned out great. Please Instagram me if you try this style #swankstylista 🙂
Step 1: Co-Wash or Shampoo Hair
I used my Suave Naturals Apple Conditioner to Co-Wash my hair. This condition has great slip and with a price tag of $1 I don’t have to use it sparingly.
After I co-washed my hair I conditioned it using my Giovanni’s Smooth as Silk Conditioner. This is one of my staple products. I love this stuff. While the conditioner was on I finger detangled my hair.
My hair after I co-washed, conditioned and let it t-shirt dry a bit.
Step 2: Blow Dry Hair
To prep my hair for blow drying I split my hair in 4 sections to make it easier to work with. I u used coconut oil, Giovanni’s Direct Weightless Leave In and Grapeseed Oil (in that order).
Now time to start blow drying. To blow dry my hair I used the Gold and Hot Elite Hair Dryer on the fine heat setting. Don’t want to cause unnecessary damage. To aid in my hair being as straight as possible on the chosen heat setting I used a Denman style brush while blow drying my hair, a comb attachment can also do the same thing.
Here’s the final result after blow drying:
Step 3: Set Hair and Step 4:Take Down Hair
The video below shows how I did the Bantu Knots and the take down the next morning. To set my hair for the Bantu Knots I used my favorite Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk.
