Bantu Knot Out for Your Little One

Sunday in our home is typically reserved as Mommy and Nia “pamper me” day where we’ll spend hours on all things natural hair and body. We round up product, styling aids and tools we’ll need and use, place them in the locations we’ll use them and it’s off to the sink. This routine varies if Nia’s rocking braids, mini twists or it’s henna time, then it is easily a two-day process instead of one.

This look was achieved with a Bantu Knot Out:

Instead of making huge parts, I opted for smaller ones and twisted each section hoping to give the bantu knot out more definition.

The following morning I applied a little of the natural oils concoction the daughter made to each twist as I unwrapped and separated. We were both pleased with the results. Obviously, she more than I.

In order to maintain this style, tie down with a satin scarf or bonnet. In the morning, lightly spritz with water and oil, shake and go. This style can last up to five days, providing your little one does not continuously play in her hair. My daughter? Ha! She was so enamored with her hair, we got mayhaps three days … tops. She rocked a ponytail the remainder of the week. Lesson learned? No. The fiercer the style, the more she plays with it.
