Serenity23, I was impressed with the turn out . Third time was the charm. I just hope the fourth and subsequent bantu knot outs turn out just as nice or nicer.

Awww, thanks Blackbeauty. I was very proud of the outcome. I had to change my avatar Great hair days make you feel extraordinary, and my family, who is mostly natural (locs), loved it.

ChrsLvsBks wrote:I am not one to go Black Friday shopping so I had plenty of time on my hands the last couple of days. So, I have been doing a lot since Friday. On Friday, I rinsed out the EVOO and coconut oil from my hair (applied to entire length of hair Thursday night). I co-washed with VO5 moisture milks and Suave apple. I let my hair dry until damp with a flour sack. I mixed maka, kapoor kalchi and brahmi (ayurvedic powders) with water. The consistency was like a cake batter. I applied to hair and let it sit for an hour. I rinsed thoroughly with warm water. I deep conditioned with Jane Carter's replenishing conditioner, Philosophy's shear splendor, honey and Aubrey Organics White Camellia for an hour with heat. I rinsed with cold water and applied KBB's hair milk and jojoba oil.

My hair was air dried in two braids overnight. Yesterday, I saw a fotki member (KinkyCurlyQueen) who had done teeny weeny twists. They looked gorgeous so I decided to try small twists. I used Koils by Nature sweet almond joy butter, KbN's peppermint gel and coconut oil to each twist. The butter and gel were put on the entire length of each section and the oil was used to seal at the ends. It took me five hours. I want to try teeny weeny twists soon. I just have to figure out how .

I hope to leave the twists in for at least three weeks. If you have any suggestions on how to keep them fresh, please share. Thanks in advance.

Here are a couple of pictures.

A dime size of KnB's butter was rubbed into my hands and applied from root to tip. I sealed the ends with a quarter size puddle of castor oil and couple of drops of jojoba oil.

One reason I chose to do twists and try to keep them in for three weeks was to help me manipulate my hair less. I tried to do a fishtail I saw on a fellow fotki member's album. I failed but like what I did achieve.

Day 1 Style
