I know the usual results from Bantu knots, but my hair isn't Afro textured. It's just long, thick, and slightly wavy. If I only did two or three knots for my whole head, could they turn into waves instead or tight curls?

Yes! I have natural hair and so my hair comes out in curls...my sister doesn't and she uses bantu and hers come out in waves...so yes you can do that.

You take a section of hairn and twist it until it starts to twist in on itself (you'll know what I mean when you try it.) Then it should fold in on itself to make these little knots. Just tie it off and sleep on it:)

Honestly no. I'm absolutely against Bantu knots. They are so unpredictable. You never know what kind of curls you're going to get. They come out wild and frizzy sometimes. I would go with more consistent methods like a braid out or flexirods.

It would be quite curly, definitely not beach waves. I'd only do one bantu knot for beach waves:)

Try just one out one night and then take a shower to get it out, keep experimenting to see if you like it, and once you perfect hit, wear it!
