Let me just say that I'm not posting on this because the natural hair movement is hot right now. For people like myself that have always been natural, it's a breath of fresh air but I'm not posting to cater to a trend. Only to share info.
I can say that this push for natural hair has heightened aesthetic creativity and has made more styles/products available to people like myself. YAY! There was a time that natural girls only had the press and curl.
...and some will debate you on whether you can still be called natural and use heat but I digress.
Behold, Le Bantu Knot/Twist:
*I did this on dry hair, wet hair makes the curls draw up a little more and I was going for an elongated curl*
1. Section off hair either in four squares or eight depending upon how full and curly you want your hair to be.
2. Apply a small amount of THIS
(or any other mousse/setting lotion of your choice) into your hands
3. Repeat the same as above with product from photo 2.
4. Two-strand twist, then twist hair into knot.
5. Stick bobbi pin in for hold.
...and you're done!
*please excuse my long chin and dry expression* :-p
I did this last night while watching tv, put a bandana on
it then went to sleep. In the morning, I untwisted my hair. My hair would've
curled better if the mousse had proper time to dry but I did this almost close
to midnight and woke up at 5am. However, if you do yours earlier in the evening
and sleep longer than I did (haha) then the mousse will have more time to do
its job.
Try it and tell me how you like it!
