My Break down of my natural hair care routine. My hair goes in phases within a week. Bantu knots, wrap, curly afro, high afro and back to Bantu knots. Each stage I’ll explain why I use these techniques on my hair.
No Heat, I decided at the beginning of 2018 to stay away from heat. No blow dryer/ flat iron/straightening comb or curling iron. I chose to go without heat to see if my hair will grow, which it did. I don’t know when I will ever use heat on my hair again. Bantu Knots, To get my hair the curly texture I want. I twist my hair into Bantu knots. I usually like to twist my hair in Bantu knots and leave them in for a few days. Wraps, While my hair is in knots, literally, *laughs,* or if my hair isn’t what I want it to look like, I’ll use an African wrap on my hair. There are multiple ways to wrap my hair, in my opinion when my hair is wrapped differently with different wraps it is like another hairstyle. Instead of feeling like something is covering my head, I think of it as another way to wear my hair. Hot leave in conditioner, Before I twist my hair in Bantu knots, I know I need a warm bottle of leave-in conditioner. It is a kind of an addiction of mines, plus, it is supposed to be best for the hair. Rinse, My twist out has its phases, by the third day, if I do not twist it for the last time, it doesn’t look curly, instead, it has this standing look; Like the red villain in that old jack frost clay animation. So when my hair is in the final stage, I will rinse the last bit of the leave-in conditioner out, and ring the water out of my hair, part my hair in four, and comb out my hair or de-tangle it, whichever you call it. Finally, put the hot leave in conditioner back in my hair.
