I had been putting bantu knots in my hair on weekends in an attempt to achieve neater tighter roots. I did it after a wash and took me roughly around 2-3 hours(with breaks in between)) to complete.

| Unravelled knots. My brother and I before school |
To be honest I wasn't exactly a fan of the unravelled look but I rolled with it. I am returning to it tonight with plans to style it tomorrow
Fast forward a few weeks
Visited the loctician. Guess What...
She used BEESWAX in my hair. I can't begin to express how pissed I was. It looked good for awhile but anything thats stains pillowcases and clothes is a no-no. Besides I've heard stories of the foul odor smell that comes with it after awhile. People insisted on touching my hair over and over and over..Gosh I never knew it could get so annoying. I understand once or twice, but when the same persons feel that its ok to run their filth-infested, grimy phalanges through my already sticky hair, there's gonna be a problem.
Anyhoo removing the beeswax after 3 weeks was a challenge. In all selsun blue, dishwashing liquid, apple cider vinegar, baking soda and piping hot water did the trick. Never me again. I twisted my hair with ORS Lock and twist and that was a major fail. Hope fully the bantu knots will do the trick. I used motions Foaming wrap lotion to set it. :)
