Bantu Knots

Bantu is a colonial word used to describe Zulu people. The word was used to identify African people who spoke the Bantu dialect. The word Bantu does not refer to one group of people, rather over 10 million Africans of Zulu descent who speak the Bantu dialect. This is why Bantu Knots are also referred to as Zulu Knots.

These have now recently become a hair trend among all races.
Here are easy steps on how I make my bantu knots :

1. Section your hair into four large sections ,depending on how large you would like your knots to be.

2. Spray (I usually spray mine with leave in conditioner) each section as you do it, combing it through to remove any knots.

3. Lastly twist the damp sections inward and clip them with Bobby pins.  DO NOT  TWIST YOUR HAIR TOO TIGHTLY. Twisting the hair too tightly can stress your hair and cause breakage, but also it will not result in nice curls/waves either.  Instead twist the hair about two to three times then wrap it on itself and continue until all the hair is twisted and wrapped into the knot.

Wait a minimum of 12 hours to undo them, giving your hair a wavy texture, or keep your hair like that for the day!
