  1. Bantu Knots – 6 Easy Steps To Make Bantu Knots 2019

  2. 1. Step 1 – Wash It • Cleanse your scalp gently to remove any product build-up, then condition the lengths of your hair as usual. • Detangle using Cleanse & Condition Leave-in Conditioner, that protects your hair as you style it. • You will need smooth hair to begin with before you start wrapping the Bantu knots.

  3. 2. Step 2 – Part It • Bantu knots require your hair to be parted in sections all over. • With the help of a rat-tail comb, divide your hair into sections depending on how thick you would like your knots to look. • Remember, the smaller the knots, the more defined your curls will be once unravelled. • Go crazy and part your hair in different patterns – zigzag to interlocked diamonds, triangles to squares! • TIP: Hair that is well moisturized is the best canvas for Bantu knots.

  4. 3. Step 3 – Twist It • Use a curl cream or a similar setting product and twist the product into each section of your hair with your fingers. • No stressing them roots, please! • Once your hair is twisted enough, wrap it into a knot.

  5. 4. Step 4 – Hold It • This by far is the trickiest part of the process. • As you see your twists start to coil, give them a little tug to make sure no stubborn hair is sticking out. • Secure each of the twisted knots firmly in place with tiny elastic bands and use 3-4 hairpins as backup reinforcement to make sure your Bantu knots behave all day long.

  6. 5. Step 5 – Repeat It Repeat the process for each section, keeping the thickness of each Bantu knot consistent.

  7. 6. Step 6 – Finish It • The perfectionist in us would finish these Bantu knots with some hairspray to keep them neat once all done. • Garnish with some accessories like hair cuffs, coloured elastic bands, fun temporary colour or yarn threads.
