Post pics of your Braid Out, Twist Out, Bantu Knot Out, etc.

[LdyKamz]

I like to look at styles and figure out how I would achieve the same style. Today I looked at 3 different pics (all looked different) but I thought I could get the same results just doing a twist out.

Now I'm confused. I know twist out is the s curl and braid out is the zig zag but a twist and bantu knot out looks almost exactly like a twist out to me. Twist and curl can also come out looking like I set on perm rods.

So can you guys post pics or links to videos of some styles so I can compare.

P.S. I know some styles yield different results for different hair types/textures.

I just experimented with a Bantu knot out and two strand bantu knot and they were different. The twisted one gave me like a sharp edge like a z curl and the regular bantu gave me and s shape

 

[Lilmama1011]

Regular Bantu knot out. I only did that because it was wash day, I'm afraid to try new things because i know im not doing it over. But it doesn't look good because i prepoo with Shea moisture deep mask and i over coated my hair so i had a lot of product purposely on there

I think the results depend on how the style was set. For example, setting on wet hair versus dry hair. Or doing 2 braids/Bantu knots versus 8.

I normally only do braidouts/Bantu knots on old rollerset hair, so it's easier for me to predict the outcome. For me: I find Bantu knots are best done a few days after a rollerset and braidouts a few days after that. Depending on how tight/loose I want the waves determines how many I set my hair with. Attaching a picture of a braidout showing 4 different sets.

Here's my twist out from Friday. The first pic is the twists that produced the twist out, then my twist out during the day, then after work (before I went out). The last pic is my hair after going out on Friday.

Nope, I should start though. After it dried, I just unbraided it and used my wide tooth comb to comb through it. I also rolled the whole braid with a perm rod.

KhandiB Lovely! Can you share what you used for your braid out and the FARS (LOL)!?

 

[KhandiB]

tapioca_pudding - Hi! For my braid out, I use water, V05 conditioner or creme moisturizer and coconut oil, usually braid in about 3 to 4 braids and roll with a perm rod at the ends. Im going to try doing a lot of braids for a tighter outcome.

FARS, lol, I just wash, DC, Protien and I airdry then use my bumpers and curl, I dont have the time or patience to do a traditional Rollerset, plus I suck at them, something serious, lol

I finish both with Oil Sheen

KhandiB - so your FAR just made a big A lie out of "Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing" !!! And your French BRaid - WOW!!!
Both are beauties and drool worthy!
Thank you for sharing.

 

[KhandiB]

My bantu knots use to be fierce and fluffy but the longer my hair gets the harder it is to maintain the same fullness with the same small knots
*that ish was tight and I don't try to be at ALL*

Now with the humidity in Texas it's only productive to do it in the winter w/o it falling AND the the picture below will illustrate the texlax and the straight relaxer debate. I used giovanni and a lil eco styler, I usually use Elasta mango butter. one side is more formed than the other and I think that is due to it being done on hair that was more damp so it set better, but I'm done with Bantu for a while.

TMI ladies, sorry I had to let out my fustrations with this set.
