Protective Hairstyle 1
Bantu Knots
Benefits:
Bantu knots are a great hairstyle for the winter! Unfortunately the cold weather comes with unhealthy hair. Besides braiding, twisting, and wigs/weaves, if your preferred choice is to wear your hair out, try experimenting w/ Bantu knots, braid/twist outs, straw sets, ect...,! It's a very simple cute way to create large voluminous curls :)
Necessities:
1) Leave-in conditioner
2) Gel (opt)
3) Hair lotion (opt)
4) Sealing oil (olive, grape seed, coconut, sesame, ect..., (opt)
Preparation:
1) Start w/ freshly washed hair
2) Lay our necessities
3) Part hair (side/middle)
4) Begin to section hair randomly. By doing this, your curls will be spread apart your whole entire head unlike sectioning it off in 1/4, then 1/8, your curls will look slightly forced. Your goal is to create natural looking curls.
5) Apply Leave-in conditioner
Process:
1) Take a section of your hair
2) Apply a tiny amount of hair lotion/gel (OPTIONAL)
3) Grab a milli pea size amount of gel and distribute it throughout sectioned hair
4) Begin to twist small section (2 parts)
5) After your twist is complete, grab the whole thing into one hand and begin to twist the entire thing into a mini cinnamon roll :) haha
6) Secure w/ a bobby pin and/or little rubber band
Lastly:
Continue process until entire hair looks like a pan on cinnamon rolls
Leave overnight for best results and undo w/ a sealing oil (on finger tips) to avoid fizziness
ENJOY!
