Length Check and Bantu Knots

Hey Suga!

I did something drastic...

I blew out my hair!

Anyone who knows me will know how big of a deal this is. I haven't had heat in my hair in YEARS. But I wanted to trim my ends and do a bit of a length check. 

Here's my hair blown out with medium heat and Karastase heat protection.

I really wanted to mix things up so I figured I'd take advantage of my stretched out hair and do a few bantu knots. 

I twisted my hair into about 18 bantu knots and slept with a bonnet over night.

Let me just say that those darn knots are not easy to sleep on. My scalp was literally screaming for some TLC by the time I woke up.  My hair, on the other hand, didn't look half bad! 

I really loved the fullness and the non-uniformed curl pattern that the knots gave me.

However, by the end of the day my hair was substantially BIGGER than were it started. And because I didn't use a setting lotion, it was way too soft and fluffy to maintain any texture over night.

 Needless to say, it'll probably be in one of my go-to up-dos for work tomorrow. 

All in all, it was definitely fun to let my hair down for a while!
