Bantu Knot-Out

In this tutorial, you will see how I create a defined, voluminous, beautiful bantu knot-out on my baby sister's hair. If you have type 3 hair, you know figuring out the right process and products for this style can be somewhat of a challenge (it surely was for me the first few times I tried it, lol).
The beauty of this style is that it works on all hair types, whether you are natural, relaxed or transitioning, this is a style you can make your own. I hope this tutorial helps you get great results!

You did a very good job mo!:) ♡

[@juanitayoung6140]

thank you for sharing this with us.

[@SunniLightfoot859]

I'll be trying this tomorrow thank you lol.

[@gggb175]

Love this!!! My bantu never seem to come out rite

[@dct012]

Love all of your videos!! So excited to try this on me!

[@mrscouturecreations]

thx so much for that answer!

[@PrttyBrwnEyez13]

Love your videos!! Can you make a video on how you straighten your natural hair? I currently wear a sew in and am natural, but I am asking it down and want to wear a straighter style without a relaxer. Thank you!

[@kiarabskin]

sorry i know this vid is about hair and all but your sissy is GORGE lol!

[@SNOWbythebundles]

Finally a good Type 3 video. I usually don't go by the typing system but different textures are styled differently. All i can get at this point is a great wash and go and flat iron. All that twist out braid out bantu knot stuff just doesn't work for me (yet). I will have to study this video before I try it again. But you give me hope lol.

[@TiffanyDanielle]

Suuuper cute!!!! Love it. I tried this on my daughter's hair abt a month ago n it turned out nutn like this. But i see used too little hair n I ddnt twist downward...

[@natashashaw6294]

Beautiful. I think I'll try this on my transitioning hair. Not sure if I'm a 3C texture, but it'll give my hair a break from flat ironing and heat. Thanks for the tips.

[@ChocolateCookii]

Omg!! Thank you!! I have type 3 hair and it is definitely difficult to do different natural hair styles.

[@Celestina4urluv]

Ur sissy is beautiful like u, I like the hair, but Bantu knots r not my thing, seems time consuming, and I could never seem to get that twist winding down :( ur videos r awesome!

[@teewhizrod6220]

WOW!!!!

[@Rosea189]

Her skin is flawless. What her routine?

[@brittbeau2]

I just tried this again today and my hair is a frizzy mess. I'm so done with knots for now lol time to hit that flat iron!

[@Shea_go]

I love your videos you are amazing at what you do. How long have you and your sister been natural?

[@remecisa05]

This is so cute....if you don't mind me asking where are you located

[@mrscouturecreations]

Is there a reason you chose to sit her under the dryer to dry her hair instead of blow drying it from the wet state?

[@ipreferwhtideserve]

LMAO @ 3:54-3:55 lol

[@kayshawilliams5349]

Thanks for the post.... Was wondering if I could do a bantu knot-out on my hair. Your sister's hair is exactly like mine. So happy to see such beautiful results. I think my hesitation was about how the roots would look doing it wet, but now I see its best to do it dry. I have to get rid of this idea in my head that all "sets" have to be done on wet/damp hair in order to set. This change is encouraging, as it typically takes my hair 8hrs+ to air dry a set. Thank you ladies. SO EXCITED TO TRY!!!

[@artistkiki22]

She looks so pretty!

[@toosweetVickie]

I love how well you explain everything that you do and use. Hope to see more of 4c hair though

[@kutl1974]

Gorgeous

[@capricornweaver]

hey, baby sis curls looks great! thanks 4 the video.

[@lynetterice7842]

Love every single video!!! Baby sis hair beautiful as always♡♥♡

[@bombayferretti5236]

when you section off the hair, it shows your sister's beautiful hair color! LOVELY!

[@PrincessInuyasha890]

She's got two different colors in her hair, its really pretty

[@MissCountryCutie]

Your sisters texture is very similar to my own, I've tried to Bantu my hair several times and fail!!! I will try this method

[@DaFlyyyestMami]

how long can you make knot outs and twist outs last??

[@stay_blessed23]

I love the color blend on her hair! Looks amazing!

[@MoKnowsHair]

Blow drying wet hair stresses and pulls the hair too much. Sitting under the hooded dryer allows the hair to dry without manipulation so hair isn't pulled out. You should never blow dry your hair from wet to dry. Always air dry or sit under a hooded dryer then blow out.

[@femaalerapper]

how long does this last? and does it works on relaxed hair?

[@xXMiSsKSAXx]

♥

[@maisieoliver6307]

How did she sleep on that

[@mylo2fly]

could i sit under the dyer again or does it have to set overnight?

[@MoKnowsHair]

myles dixon If your hair will dry under the dryer, then that's ok. I just say set overnight because most people's hair won't dry in a reasonable amount of time, so overnight setting ensure it does.

[@mylo2fly]

ok thank you

[@billsimp144]

my hair is relaxed... do i really need to use all those products?

[@leydeekashmariie3861]

WHat are all the types? what do they mean?

[@florencia3326]

They are used to classify curl patterns: Type 2: Wavy - Type 3: Curly - Type 4: Coily. There are also sub-categories (For example, I'm a 3A/B. I think the girl in the video might be a 3B/C).

[@leydeekashmariie3861]

thank you so much

[@Tariksmom]

Your sisters hair is beautiful and the knots turned out great...I had to watch as I jus got done knotting mine lol

[@curls4theworld]

Your sister is beautiful!

[@Flexplays123]

I have a type 3 hair and every time I do bantu knot on my hair it only works for maybe an hour or so if I don't leave the house but if I do leave my hair gets so frizzy.. it never works for me :(

[@MultiSassydee]

What is type 3 hair?

[@demetriadavis3186]

What is type 3 and or 4 hair

[@naturallyme85]

She had type 3 hair bordering type 2 hair.

[@starryrih]

Type 2 is wavy, Type 3 is curly, type 4 is coily

[@taylarclark]

What color hair is your sister wearing?

[@Lovepunique]

will it work if i dont put anything on my hair but just knot it up ? because i didnt wanna add anything to my hair .

[@fazyt86]

Her hair looks gorgeous in the knots alone!

[@Fellasluvme2]

I haven't had a bantu knot since the 90s lol. But back then you wouldn't unravel them, you would just wear it as so lol. I''m a fan of the wavy look and it's a wonderful alternative from frying your hair with a curling wand lol. Hope all goes well with this try-out, and thank you for the tutorial. Very pretty :)

[@thatmelaningal98]

Im transitioning and i was having a hard time trying to find the right shampoos and conditioners as well. Would Beautiful Textures be a preference?

[@misslala0204]

Hi Mo, I can't find the beautiful textures in stores. and it won't be here by this weekend if I were to order it. do you know of a product that would work similar or just as well?

[@zaqwertyui101]

can you do this on wet hair?

[@AlexisMaria]

ugh again similar to my hair going to try this and see !

[@xiinfiniin100]

What is type 3 ? And 4c ? I heard a couple times but i just dont understand what 3 and 4c stand for :p

[@purpledove4ever605]

3 is curly hair and 4 coily hair

[@msshree37]

Mo can u come to Phx and do mines please?

[@Selinabaptiste]

Where are you located? It's so hard to find people that knows how to deal with my hair.

[@tysheriadorsey9934]

my hair comes out like that but then my curls start to disappear after a while

[@thesingingcrocheter]

Thank you soo much for this video, I have 3c hair and could not get a great bantu knot out now with this information I am going to try it out. I have a question Mo, what products should a person with 3c hair use to maintain a two strand twist, I love the style but mine does not stay in more then a week 5 days the most, do you have any idea or products I should use to make my style last for more then a week? again thank you for the video I just subscribed and I love your videos

[@babril91]

Do you have to blow dry the hair? Or can you let it air dry throughout the day

[@loliatamuno5262]

You can let it air dry. May take longer to be completely dry is all.

[@GLET_theamateur]

that was very well explained. personal question, what ethnicity is she? people define my hair by nationality, and I'm mixed. is her hair natural type B? and what about when she goes to sleep? I never want to have to do the work to keep it up over night😞

[@debratillman4122]

this style on type 3 hair looks best when the hair is dry. This may explain why the knots look awful on my hair. thx

[@mslovelylouie2003]

I need you to do my hair!!!!!!!!!!

[@alishab4123]

My hair is this same length but it's type 4. Do you think I would need to change the products used to get the same results or can I just follow this tutorial?

[@shellyb169]

What city do you do hair in, need to make an appointment..

[@priscilarosario1891]

I know the secret now D: stretched hair before the bantu knots

[@leydeekashmariie3861]

Why are products with alcohol such a big deal to naturals? Does it steal mositure? I mean it's not such a big deal in some of te videos I've seen from Mo, because I see the products like wrap lotion and mix chicks conditioner...but I was just wondering what the big no no was!

[@MoKnowsHair]

Some types of alcohol are actually conditioning to the hair, and others are not...I think that little bit of info is not as widespread as it should be...I'll probably write a post on it on my blog at some point.

[@leydeekashmariie3861]

ooooh pleeease do!!! I would love that!!!

[@ceciliaayanna1939]

Beautiful!
