First try with Bantu Knot Out

Last night I tried Bantu Knots for the first time. I think that it went well. I was nervous because on the honest tip, I was scared of doing my own hair. I didn't know how to really. I remember washing my hair at home and it would become this big fro and because I didn't know how to manage, I would immediately want to go the hair salon. I would get the relaxer or the iron out and feel better with my straight silky hair. I loved it. Not going to front. So last night was the first time that I not only washed it and conditioned (always went to the salon even when I started going natural) but decided to try the Bantu Knots. I think what really pushed me is I keep talking about me going back to natural-I need to embrace whatever happens. I will say that I had a 2 second freak out the shower. As soon as the water hit, I bit my lip. But you know what though. I made this decision and what happens happen. I did the two strands and twisted up and kept them secure with a bobby pin. I was watching You tube videos all night. Went to bed and woke up several times. I finally got up at 9, anxious to see what it looked like. A few were still wet but for the most part, they were definitely curly. I do like it but like doing anything for the first time, I need to figure out to avoid the frizz and want to do when some don't curl at some. Next time I will make bigger knots. I couldn't tell you how many I had but we will see for next time. My next mission for this finding out the maintenance for tonight. What do I do tonight and tomorrow morning. I will find out. Posting pics below (no make up or anything-just me) What do you think? First time. #naturalhairrocks
