Bantu knots..... :(

I did my bantu knots WAY too tight, so I took them out only minutes ago, and most aren't dry. The front looks OK so I think I will hat most of it since it's cold out side and my hair is damp. I am glad I tried them because I like the way they look. Next time I will know to

• Leave more time for them to dry
• Use a heavy butter or locing cream so they will set better
• Do more and curl the ends tighter around the knot.
• Twist the hair more loosely so my head isn't throbbing in the morning. lol
• Do the knots on damp hair, not wet hair.

I'm gonna try again later on today and they will have all/most of Tuesday to dry. Hopefully by then my furlippin hood dryer will get here and make these processes a lot easier.

Bantu Knots!!

I'm a firstie when it comes to bantu knots, so i'm hoping they turn out well so I continue to tweak and improve.

Now here are the pics of my bantu knot process. The front was pretty easy and came out even, but the back kinda fell apart part-wise. As you will see they are pretty uneven. I will try and pre-part and then twist next time. I am SOOO excited to see how these will turn out. I've wanted to see how they look on me for a while.

I an EXTREME procrastinator. I have a paper due tomorrow at 11:59pm. I should get on it.

I didn't realize how tight I had made them until after and my head is starting to hurt. Nothing a motrin or two can't fix. Again I am SOOO excited to see how they turn out. I will put pics of the result up tomorrow or Tuesday depending on when they are as dry as possible.

Now on to my paper. . .ughhhhh
