Styling the Bantu Knot-Out

Styling the Bantu Knot-Out

Trice from Detroit, MI asks:

How do you style a bantu knot-out?

A bantu knot-out can be styled many ways.  I prefer rocking mine loose and free in all of its glory!  There are many variations in styles that may frame your face with the bantu knot-outs.

Some things to take into account with the styling of the hair:

• length of your hair
• size that you made the knots
• position that you put the knots
• whether your hair is relaxed or natural
• Make sure the hair is 100% dry before unraveling the knots

All of these will factor in to the way that the knots will fall, upon letting the knots down.

Relaxed hair will obviously produce knot-outs that are more lengthy (depending on your hair length to start with), and natural hair knot-outs will always have to surrender to some level of shrinkage (meaning curly fros for some and shoulder length curls and waves for others).

Accessorize It!

You may choose to place a headband or scarf on to add  little “flava” to your style.  These have the potential to make the perfect accessory to the curly fro!  Flowers or pins also add a bit of spice to your knot-out. You should always fluff out your hair by rubbing your fingers along the scalp to remove the obvious lines of parts from being visible.

Pin sections of the hair up, twist up some parts to add a different look to the style after a couple of days if you like.  Refresh the look of day old hair by moisturizing and carefully sealing the hair.  The best part is playing around with your hair and finding styles that best compliment you!  I say try the bantu knot-out and have fun with it!  That’s the best way to style it out!

Until next time, happy healthy hair styling!
