HI Everyone I am just trying to gather a little information from you. I can continue to post if you all will continue reading or I can take a little break. Do you think you will be reading over the next couple of days or just laying low with the computers off? Please let me know, I may end up posting anyway..lol who knows.
Do you Bantu?
Sometimes I want to switch up my do and other times I am just plain lazy and I don't feel like rolling my hair. When such times arise I can easily turn to the good old bantu. Normally If I create bantu knots in my hair I don't unravel them and wear them in public. Instead I usually throw my hair into a banana clip and rock the tiny coils in the back of my head.
This woman on youtube, clearly demonstrates the process that I follow when I create bantu knots.

I will also post pics below to show you what my knots looked like. I should have created far more knots than I did for a fuller look but I was totally not in the mood so whatever..lol. I also secured my knots with the metal clips but I usually do it just like the woman in the video and they actually stay put all night long. Here are my pics:
Although it looks like it's tight it really isn't.
Bantu knots can also alow you to make your hair look a little shorter depending on how secure you make the knots.
Here is what my hair looked like after I unraveled the knots.
Next I just fingered through my hair to expand the curls a bit. You can keep doing that until you get your desired look. What I do like is that I somewhat pulled off a curly look without roller! I still need more bantu practice, but I'm getting there.
Please help
I NEED the nail polish that Michelle Williams is wearing in this picture. Any ideas? (pic courtesy of Essence.com) It almost looks like a dusty brown with gray undertones, or maybe I'm just making that up..lol Any colors that you know of that will give me that desired color?

ReplyDeleteI tried the bantu knots a few times and it didn't work out too well for me.

I'll be reading :) I think I will try the bantu knots. I haven't had a relaxer in about 10 weeks though. Do you think it'll make me have huge dolly pardon hair?
ReplyDeleteI was looking at that color as I was flipping through the magazine. I don't care that I dont usually pay $8 for nail polish, this one is a must.
ReplyDeleteThe bantu curls are super sweet, I was trying to get Chynell to do them. Maybe now she'll listen to me.
P.S.- You already know I'll be reading.

ReplyDeleteI'll be reading and posting also!
ReplyDeletethat is an OPI color, i just used the color yesterday during a manicure, it looks good on my hands not sure about my toes yet, give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all for posting and Antithesis thanks for calling out that OPI color.
