My mom's Jamaican and she used to do this to my hair to let it dry. Then she would cornrow my hair for the week. One time she didn't have time to do my hair and I had to go outside with the china bumps. All the kids started teasing me and calling me porcupine head🦔 lol. And now I live to see it turn into a fashionable style. Right now as I type I have my hair in my china bumps and I have a very good blow dryer but going to give it a break and go back to the old school way! And if I have to go out no problem I can wear it as a style.
I actually liked the knots before she took them loose. The design was very attractive. Her hair is also pretty after loosening the knots. Either way, she looks really cute.
When I do any twist out I use my leave in conditioner mixed with Jamaican Black Castor Oil. I only use eco styler for flat styles that won’t be disturbed, such as a slicked down ponytail, as disturbance breaks the seal and this shows up as white residue. When using any leave in conditioner and oil you twist out the knots as usual and you will get the same result as using gel. You can also use curl custards instead of the leave in conditioner. I loved the video and love Bantu knots. It’s amazing how evolution has given us such versatile hair which we can style in so many different ways. Natural hair is awesome and when cared for and styled right it’s beautiful. Well done ✊🏾
I love the Bantu knot out! To prevent residue, I don’t use gel of any kind. After shampooing and deep conditioning, I lather the hair with a custard (leave-in detangle conditioner with Shea butter and olive oil). Next, I section the hair in Bantu knots and unravel the hair after 24hrs. Some gels also dry the hair, but that’s just my recommendation.
Awesome video! She is so beautiful 🥰 I'm thinking of doing bantu knots and having them in for awhile while I travel, just didn't know how to do them. Thank you!!!!
The style turned out really nice. I never thought of mixing the gel with the leave in conditioner. Maybe I’ll try that for a wash & go. For my Bantu knots, I follow the LCO method. I use 3 products. L = Shea moisture curl and hibiscus leave in conditioner, C = Cantu Shea butter leave in and my O = (any light oil of your choice) Sweet Almond Oil. You will usually have white residue leftover, but like someone else commented use oil and that’ll take care of the residue.
Yes, my mum used to do this on my hair after washing. She is also a Jamaican, and we called them chiney bumps, too. Its actually a good protective style and I can still wear my wig when I want to.
The residue is because the products you used together. You should do the mix test on your hand before applying and if it clumps, that means it will clump on the hair.
I loved his video and I actually did this to my hair. it didn't / turn out as pretty as hers however I do use the Eco gel black castor oil and flaxseed and I did not have any white residue. I mixed it with dark and lovely defining creme glaze. and I didn't make the Bantu knots as small as you did. I am going to try it again on freshly washed hair.
The hair is looking really good, it’s just you have to know which gels mixed with what creams. Just do a test if the gel and cream clumps it’s not a good mix must look creamy
Great job! SUGGESTION to avoid residue: after wash, add a leave-in conditioner separately, working it in fully. THEN use curl activator gel (a little goes a LONG way) and add another gel that has a hold to it then twist. Lusters activator curl gel is VERY moisturizing. Try it, i think u will LOVE the results!😃
It still came out defined and pretty! Yea that eco styler gel sucks! 😭😂 That's why i stopped using it on my 4c hair. After that first use i was done!!! Use a moisturizing butter cream. 😊
Always test the combination of the gel and whatever product on the back of ur hand first. It will let u know if the two work good together or not. If it start to curdle or clump then it's not a good combination. Also maybe use less product and add water as u go along. 🤷🏾♀️
I use to wear my hair in those small bantu knots and it was super cute. What used, a small amount of leave in conditioner , castor oil and bees wax and lits of water and it comes out very good wothout the white residue. I also use cream of nature hairdress.
I use design essential styling foam. It really works well for twist and Bantu knots,. It leaves no residue. Leaves the hair very very soft… it holds up very nice. You can use the avocado, cilantro, hydrating butter it gives the hair shine. I also use the hydrating butter on first and then put styling foam it works very well You get excellent results🔥🔥🔥🔥
Que maravilhosa, gente olha o sorriso dela, fiquei encantada, não só o cabelo estava maravilhoso, mas todo o contraste do rosto, e o sorriso estava radiante. Linda de mais👌😻🥰❤❤
Mix your products together in your hand to see if it mixes well. Oil helps break that down. It may have been the leave in or just too much product used so it caused build up
I’m also a hairstylist/cosmetologist. I really like the line “Jamaican Mango & Lime”. I’ve used it for over 6 years and my hair has grown like NEVER b4! Starting from about 2 inches to down my back with this line. Not everything work the same for everyone. Good luck. Btw I hv very similar hair, only thicker! 😔
Yes really nice looking. Well done. Either with the knots or lose, it look so great. I did locks and twists before with leave in conditioner, & hair cream by African Pride called Twist & Loc Smoothie and it came out really good with no white flakes or stains. And it last long. Anyway thanks for sharing your skills and ideas
Comb hair at the bottom don't pull comb till the top of hair to remove scalp in case if you don't want wrap head after oil application for hair shinning, is just advice.
This is exactly what I am looking for. Use Rice water ,mouse and a leave in conditioner. If it turns white then spray more water and mouse the leave in conditioner is already in the strains. Continue the process that eliminate the white residue and Result absolute beauty,🥰
I use As I am twist cream. You only need to use a little bit and spray water on each part of the hair. Just make sure her hair is damp but not really wet and don't do it on dry hair because it will not come out correctly.
I use the Shea Moisture Repair and Restore Shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner. I also use Lottabody styling products and Let's Jam Extra hold conditioning styling gel with the orange top. I would never use any type of Eco gel on my hair. It's the white residue monster on my hair and mine texture is exactly like hers. Sometimes, I a)so use Blue Magic Castor oil grease with light bluish label and the Let's Jam gel for styling. I have to have moisturizing products to get a comb through my hair without shredding it off.
At times it's really hard to find a product that goes with the type of hair you have. At times it's better to test things to see if the product had a positive or negative effect.
In Jamaica back in the day as children when u get ur hair washed this is done to it...it was known as Chiney Bump lol
In Barbados too, as a child growing up we didn't had no blower so this is the way our hair hair dry❤🤣🤣🤣
I just said that before I read your comment 😆
Back in the day.
IAM Jamaican and I still do this,btw I'm only 15
Sweet Sweet Jamaica me naah left yah!

That's right in the UK we use to call it China bumps, I don't know why, I don't know if that's offensive.
I actually liked the knots before she took them loose. The design was very attractive. Her hair is also pretty after loosening the knots. Either way, she looks really cute.
Marie Blyden yea me too sometimes I rock the knots and do my edges and take them out couple days later
FINALLY!!! Some real 4C hair!!! Hydrated, thick and curly! Love this style on you!!! 💜💜

AMAZING RESULTS 👑 this Bantu Knots style would cost about $85 in a NYC Salon! The knots before takedown was pretty as well!
The style looks good on her, she is so beautiful! 😍 I use TGIN styling butter, water, and oil on hands for the take down when do my Bantu Knots.
I'll try that next time
Remember doing those knots so many years ago at school.... She can also simply have the knots as a style. It looked nice on her too
The smile of your sister is so so priceless.. she is beautiful 😍
To see a young black beauty this excited over her own hair gives me chills,,, awesome!!!😍👍!
Okay, but you actually look SO GOOD with bantu knots in your hair, so prettyyyyyy 🥺🥺
Awesome video! She is so beautiful 🥰 I'm thinking of doing bantu knots and having them in for awhile while I travel, just didn't know how to do them. Thank you!!!!
They so pretty... def try it
I think i would have left my hair stay in the knots yeah until a whole week
Me too...just wondering how long it will last
I'm going to do mine and wear it like that. My hair is exactly like hers.
Yeah 2 styles in one. That’s what I do
The style turned out really nice. I never thought of mixing the gel with the leave in conditioner. Maybe I’ll try that for a wash & go.

What a beautiful young lady loving the Bantu knots makes you look model-like.
I love this ! my hair is not as long as your sisters , but I am looking to do the Bantu knot style on my natural hair as well . 💜
Her hair looks so cute! i usually use ORS Curling Pudding and overnight it makes the curls super defined.
Yes, my mum used to do this on my hair after washing. She is also a Jamaican, and we called them chiney bumps, too. Its actually a good protective style and I can still wear my wig when I want to.
Put oil on the hair helps eith the white residue
Will def try that next time
Thanks
Can’t wait to try this on my daughters. Love this look. Your sister so pretty
Thank u!
Beautiful! I think of this video when I want to do bantu knots. Thank you for keeping this on here. ❤️🔥🕊️

I always watch this all the time. .her hair is bantu knots is too cute
That's my signature look I love my bantu knots and she is beautiful you did a great job love it love it love it
The residue is because the products you used together. You should do the mix test on your hand before applying and if it clumps, that means it will clump on the hair.
I love this hairstyle it reminds me of my childhood

Thank you for the tip. Im going try the curl activator on my daughter's hair
My daughter who is getting married in June of 2022, and asked for bantu knots for wedding hair... I'm going to do this on her hair. Love love love it.
I LOVE ❤️ the partings! It looks like a mosaic!
It still came out defined and pretty! Yea that eco styler gel sucks! 😭😂 That's why i stopped using it on my 4c hair. After that first use i was done!!! Use a moisturizing butter cream. 😊
Thanks, I'll def try that next time around

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Two hairstyles in one...
Thank you !!!🌹
That eco gel leaves white residue on my hair as well
I realise that
So what can you do to avoid those whites on your hair
Waoo reasons as to y I love our African hair. U can do with it everything you want
Your hairstyle is gorgeous. It’s really beautiful.🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lovely!!!!! I love the Bantu knots on her, she wearsit well
I use jbco and coconut oil for my twist out ..it looks really good and holds curls well with no residue
I used to do them curls, I used the Dax grease and water 💦
They're so cute
Her Smile says it All
Que maravilhosa, gente olha o sorriso dela, fiquei encantada, não só o cabelo estava maravilhoso, mas todo o contraste do rosto, e o sorriso estava radiante. Linda de mais👌😻🥰❤❤
Mix your products together in your hand to see if it mixes well. Oil helps break that down. It may have been the leave in or just too much product used so it caused build up
I'll keep that In mind next time
Bella curls and gel leave my hair looking like that too
I’m also a hairstylist/cosmetologist. I really like the line “Jamaican Mango & Lime”. I’ve used it for over 6 years and my hair has grown like NEVER b4! Starting from about 2 inches to down my back with this line. Not everything work the same for everyone. Good luck. Btw I hv very similar hair, only thicker! 😔
Regular hair oil and water in a spray bottle for moisture works wonders. No need for a lot of products... i do these all the time.
When I saw this videos I had to subscribe bc my hair is just like that and these styles or very useful 💚👌🏾
Thank you for the support!!!💜
Yes really nice looking. Well done. Either with the knots or lose, it look so great.

wow, shes so pretty. perfect outcome!
What were u putting on her hair when doing the knots? Looks great, I'm going to try it
Comb hair at the bottom don't pull comb till the top of hair to remove scalp in case if you don't want wrap head after oil application for hair shinning, is just advice.
Waooo i love the way you style her hair it turn out beautiful
I am going to try it on my hair because i have type 4c and i love curl hair
Beautifully done on her. I've learned especially when using gel to use very little.
Beautiful, everything 🙌🏾👏🏾
I love this video. because her Bantu knots is too cute and it's on point too. I be trying to get that kind of volume and the curls. 👑💖🙏🏿🙌🏿
I would’ve kept the knots 🥰
Were I come from Cameroon we call that "begudi" and it's done with thread 😉 lovely
How na sista 😂
Remember I use do this hair style when I was much younger back home i love it so much I need start doing back hair style
This is exactly what I am looking for. Use Rice water ,mouse and a leave in conditioner. If it turns white then spray more water and mouse the leave in conditioner is already in the strains. Continue the process that eliminate the white residue and Result absolute beauty,🥰
It's been difficult finding this video, thanks
I love the knots
I like this style. It is very cute and I’ll try it on my hair. Thank you for sharing.
I think if you put the leave-in directly on the hair while it's wet and work it through then add the gel as you go the white caste doesn't happen.
Thank you for the advice💜
I recommend using Cantu Leave in Conditioner, Gel, Twist and Locks. You're good to go
Thanks for the tip
I use As I am twist cream. You only need to use a little bit and spray water on each part of the hair. Just make sure her hair is damp but not really wet and don't do it on dry hair because it will not come out correctly.
Nice, I only use olive oil moisturizing hair lotion and Lotta body wrap foam. No residue and defined curls
That comb she is using went through my soul.
Her hair is cute i love hair curls. 👑💖
Wow amazing....it was the eco gel you used that caused the flaking white residue, but good job never the less 🔥👍🏽😀
Hi she don't have on that much makeup she's beautiful.
Very beautiful hair style, it really suits you 😊
Nice outcome. I'm try it on my little sister's hair too. She has short hair too.
She look so cute, 😊. Ecostyler gel don’t work will with conditioners. Try it without the conditioner.
I use the Shea Moisture Repair and Restore Shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner. I also use Lottabody styling products and Let's Jam Extra hold conditioning styling gel with the orange top. I would never use any type of Eco gel on my hair. It's the white residue monster on my hair and mine texture is exactly like hers.

Those Bantu Knots were super cute.
She’s precious
I use flaxseed gel that’s the only thing I use and it comes out perfect
This is beautiful. Wish I can get mine done like that.
I liked the knots 🪢 but they twist out was cute too I would wear it both ways
Beautiful... I love the bantu knots
It looks daammmmnn cute 😍😍😍💯💯💯
Thank u
Beautiful natural hairstyle love this video .
Thank you
How do you maintain them tho?
She Tie it with a silk head scarf every night, not too tight so the curls wont flatten.
So cute, the bantu knots and her.
😊
I love it what l don't like is that you guys use very different oils on your hair
I used to use a non flaky gel and hair wax. After you sit under dryer it would mold the knots
That's what am actually doing to my hair now 😂❤
My favorite hairstyle!
You only need ORS Olive oil hold & shine wrap.set mouse and a bit of oil for the ends. That’s it!
shes so cute. yes girl get it
I hope I can do this on my relaxed hair, will get help if needed as I can part straight
Her length looked to be about 2-2 1/2 inches long, true? Do you recommend bantu knots on length 1 - 1 1/2 inches? Very cute style.
I usually wear it like that just the knits I didn’t pull it out I just wear it like that
Very beautiful use to be my best hair style back in the 90s
I like the knots in so pretty I think I'm going to put some in today
Elle est magnifique et très belle
When I do mines I use a leave in conditioner with oil no eco to much residue the video was great as well
