[Hairstyle] Bantu Knot Side Puff | The #WashDayExperience

All summer I've struggled to get a "wearable" bantu knot set. I have this three texture situation going on: natural roots, totally under-processed texlaxed mid-strand (thanks to the relaxer drama of my last touch up), and normal texlaxed ends. My bantu knot curls from roots to mid-strand look great---then those ends... *hangs head* Needless to say, I was determined to redeem my bantu knot curls this week. Here's how my #washdayexperience went:

1. Pre-Poo- I finger detangled using extra virgin coconut oil.
2. Shampoo- with Jessicurl Cleansing Cream.
3. Extreme deep condition- I deep conditioned with Jessicurl Deep Treatment on the length of my hair. Then I massaged my stands with extra virgin coconut oil, covered with a plastic cap and sat under my hooded dryer for an hour and left it in overnight.
4. Tea Rinse- using 2 chamomile tea bags steeped in 2 cups of water + 2 tbsp of glycerin.
5. Smoothing Treatment- with a large dollop of Matrix Biolage Detangling Solution.
6. Air Dried- I applied a bit of Chi Silk Infusion to 80-85% wrapped in a cotton t-shirt.
7. Leave ins- I used Jessicurl Too Shea Extra Moisturizing Conditioner to moisturize, my kitchenista Tangerine Vanilla Whipped Hair Butter to seal, and bantu knotted my hair in about 10 sections.

The Results:
Can I get a confetti filled balloon drop fireworks show for girls at Jessicurl? Yeah, I know that you're so over hearing me rave about these products but OMG that Deep Treatment feels my hair feeling so ridiculously silky soft moisturized. It probably should be a crime. The Too Shea Extra Moisturizing Conditioner is just marvelous. I don't even hate the scent anymore! 

My curls turned out pretty nicely this go around. To style, I pulled them over to the side and secured with a few pins. Nothing really fancy, but I felt kinda spicy!
