Here's how to rock stylish bantu knots with your locs:
-
Section it Up: Grab a section of your hair and part it using a comb.

Twist & Wrap: Start a two-strand twist with your locs in that section. Instead of continuing the braid, begin wrapping the twisted locs around themselves to form a coil.

Tuck & Secure: Tuck the end of the wrapped locs underneath the base of the bantu knot. You can use a bobby pin or hair clip to secure it in place for a tighter hold.
-
Repeat & Rock: Grab another section of hair and repeat steps 1-3 to create more bantu knots.
Bonus Tip: For a uniform look, twist all your bantu knots in the same direction.
