I took the knots out yesterday. It was very interesting to hear the reactions from people at work before I took them out. One person called them “Cinnamon Rolls”, someone said my hair was “all balled up”, I got double takes quite often (LOL!) and my knots got a friendly tap here and there all day. I think people at work sometimes get a kick out of my hair and that’s fine with me as long as it’s in a friendly way. I’ve never seen Bantu knots in person before, so I’m happy to bring the style to work with me.
Bantu knots will definitly be a repeat style for me. I love them! Anyway, on to the knot out.
I liked it. It didn’t quite turn out as uniform as I expected, but I liked it and it got a lot of compliments (even from DH!). When I originally took the knots out, they were very shrunken, which I was expecting. I twisted my hair right after removing the knots, applied some KBB Super Silky, and tied it down with a scarf. The big twists really help to stretch the hair out but retain the knot out pattern.

Getting ready for bed...please don't laugh!
I also wore it back with just the bang part peeking out some.
That’s about it! Swimming is to re-commence in the next few days so I have to say goodbye to my knot out soon!
