Oh don’t hurt em Chizi! We have seen a million Bantu knot outs on blogs, forums and especially on YouTube, and still we are not bored. In the below video Chizi Duru demonstrates her Bantu knot out hair style which looks totally adorable and we couldn’t resist sharing it here.
Bantu knots can be done in a couple of different ways, for instance you can section your hair and just begin twisting the sections in one direction until it curls on itself and then pin in place.
Or a simple way to do it is to two strand twist the section first and then twist ‘the twist’ in one direction until it curls on itself creating the illusion of a knot. Whichever way you choose to do it the results should be some awesome tight curls that can be worn all week if you need to.
For the best results:
1. Section size determines curl size – The more sections you have the curlier your hair will be and the larger the section the wavier you hair will be.
2. Moisture levels – For some reason Bantu knots work better when the hair is at least slightly wet and moisturized but not soaking wet. Let you hair air dry first or use a blow dryer* on a cool/warm setting before twisting.
3. Make sure your hair is smooth – Use a Denman brush* if necessary but make sure your hair is smooth and the product is spread evenly throughout the section before twisting.
4. Use a styler – Aint nothing wrong with a little hold! So pick out your best styler and use it on each section. Holding creams are probably a little better than hardcore gels, but it really depends on what works best on your hair.
5. Air Dry – Air dry your hair if possible, it will take longer but the results are well worth it. Still a hooded dryer* or a bonnet dryer are also really great in a pinch because they use gentle diffuse heat rather than direct heat. But make sure to wait until your hair is completely dry before unraveling the knots.

I think im going to do this tonite..
my hair are too thin to do stuff like that if someone have a tips i’m here 🙂
Use a Curling Wand
thank you 🙂
Omg what kind of makeup is she using we r the same tone n i can never get my shade correct 🙁 hers is perfect
She just gave me life!! I was on my way back to relaxers!!
Don’t do relax anymore, it broke my hair and I was using it for years. Now my hair is almost back to the full length it had.
I’m natural, but it’s difficult not knowing what to do and the products people tell me about tangle my hair. Do you know of any?
How about twists or dreads?
comb twists works great as a protective style
LOVE your hair !!
Love our Natural Hair
Pretty good
I might try this
Love it!
Cute. Love it.
This is how it’s supposed to come out. Mine was a disaster :-/
Gorgeous!!!!!!
I love the style
My next style!
mine won’t do this….gorgeous!
Taquelle Reneé….if you are her skin tone….u can try Bare minerals deepest deep mineral powder or Mary Kay mineral powder #4…..I have used both and are a perfect match….and I am her skin tone as well…hope this helps!!!!
Very cute
ChiziDuru she’s amaizing
This style is beautiful!

I was sitting here thinking about what to do with my hair for work this week and here it is!!!! Thx a million!
I tried this
Yea yea! Us Bajan’s call it cork screw!I love it!
I like that.
Gorgeous!!!
Mine never comes out like this. What product did she use?
This is beautiful!
wish my hair were long enough ;(
Gorgeous
This is gorgeous.im a try this in my hair
Going to try it
the fact that i’m two years natural and still cant get my life together with a bantu knot out
Practice practice practice, you will get it…and with the right products for your hair, you’ll get it…good luck mamaz! 🙂
lol I just fro it. It’s burden enough to wash it, moisturize, bantu it…then for it not to come out right. I’m likeeee bump that. I’ll just fro it
you are not alone sister!!!!
…Lord, I thought it was just me..
No, this is my third attempt with a bantu knot out. I was getting frustrated being without a perm.
Got my hair did the same way it works.
One looks like straw curls and the other knots. but if you sit under the dryer or air dry your knots you will have better results. straws curls are good for natural too. i have been off perms for a year a some of my hair is processed. i do this style daily.
I love this♡♥♡
Came out real nice
lovn it
Beautiful!!!
That’s bomb
This is what I want
I love this hairstyle, I’ve done this and it turned out great. I also did it with braiding my hair and then twisting it in a circle and it turned out good also. But doing twisting instead of braids is much easier to take down. Ijs
Love it!! Came out so nice. Trying this. My Mommybuse to always do my hair like this as a child. But we call it chiny bumps Lol!!
them knots will change your life
my bantu knots never come out right.
I am so envious of type 4 curlies! They have such beautiful volume and curls.
Going to go home and try it. School starts tomorrow 🙂
Real pretty
We Jamaican call it chiney bump! It looks soo good on her!! I’m transitioning so my hair is too light to do this right now.. By the way it’s the same girl.. Some of y’all are tripping smh
not as much as fashion. I personally dont like how much time hair takes lol but I love to admire girls who do cool styles 🙂
this is exactly how I do my bantu knots. The curls are more defined and they last longer than regular knots.
I feel you!
So CUTE!
Nice!
Thanks! :o)
Lovely….my 4c won’t come out like that.
How do you secure Bantus?
Everyone with natural hair is beautiful

Mine won’t curl like that and return back to its thick untameable state smh! Tips?
I do Bantu knot outs for the shrinkage. I don’t really like my natural hair to hang.
This is cute!!

Girls been doing this in jail for years you’d be surprised of some of the natural styles u see the females do in there

cute. My hair is over nappy I need some help like that going natural thing isn’t working for me
Soo cute
I tried it an it works I went natural because it worked so well
Super cute.
Nice hair style
I need to start doing this. I’m tryna grow my hair out but don’t want to trim right away. But I do need to be able to style w/o bringing too much friction to my hair & ends. How do u get it to lock w/o rubber bands or anything( my texted is a bit more finer & might slip out?)
I like that
So I can do hairstyles like this?
VERY PRETTY!!!
You can do it now?.wash and condition your hair every week. TRIM NOT CUT every 6-8 weeks. Take biotin vitamins..or try hairfinity vitamins
I did a short bob, it’s not long enough.
What do u use to lock the curls?
My hair is like this now.
Wow!!!!!!!
I like that hair style
Thank you for the video. This is the 2nd time that I have tried this look and it did not work. Big puff. Yours are so cute I’m gonna try again. Beautiful

j’aime bien
unu cya show mi how fi duh that?
I tried the Bantu knot out for the first time few days ago, needless to say I need to keep trying lol… #HAIRSTILLSHORT
Gotta try this one.
I’m assuming you blow dry before doing the Bantu Knots.
Nyador Nguany bantu knots.. Lol
Do you twist before making knots?
My bantu knots RARELY come out looking like that? What’s the secret? Blowdrying?
i love that !!
How can get mines to come out Wright??
One thing for sure is that you have to let it dry ALL THE WAY before you take them down!! I’ve never flat twist mine then knot them… But I might try it
I love it! Mine never worked out but I will try again
Mines on my hair don’t worry out,and my daughter s hair don’t come out right. Smh.
Stuff like this makes me want to continue on my transitioning journey because I have the same hair type. Thnx for sharing. Her hair came out great!
Beautiful!
I like this!!!
My girl chizi.
Very beautiful fresh looking face !
For some reason, my hair doesn’t like Bantu Knots…or maybe my technique is off! Shaun Jackson
great! i will try it myself
I will be trying this style.
I have one day with my natural hair tomorrow! I’m doing this for sure!!
