How to Bantu Knot Out [Video]

One of my favorite Instagrammers (@creolelioness) recently posted this picture of herself rockin’ a FABULOUS Bantu Knot Out and I just couldn’t resist sharing it.

I love everything about this look. Her hair looks soft, full and is just all-around fab. Almost makes me want to grow my hair back out. Almost!

Her face is beat!

I just HAD to have her share her secret with you guys. Check out the photo step-by-step…

She was even nice enough to put together a tutorial video for you guys. Check it out!

Thanks Carlyne for the great tutorial!

Follow her on Instagram & Twitter.
