Though bantu knots have been around for a LONG time, more and more naturals are demonstrating that we inherently emanate regality in the style. Bantu knots are more than just a means to an end; they are are more than just a technique to set the hair into curls. Bantu knots are a wearable style, and with both the knots and the knot out, you can get two looks in one. Here is how:

Do you feel confident rocking bantu knots for more than day?
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
Yes, I went to the shop and got a bantu knots to take out the next morning for a conference I was presenting at. They looked so cute that I didn’t take them out for like a week and a half. I just loved the way they looked, and so did almost everyone (black, white, etc) who encountered me. I didn’t go a day without a compliment.
Im in Europe now and Im killing it. Its my signature style and everyone loves it.
Yay A hair article. Love the styles. I had finally got the hang of Bantu knots but I just can’t sleep comfortably in them so I quit. Any suggestions are appreciated.
They look great, but I’m just too tender headed,I just wear them to stretch out my hair
Beautiful!
