  • @eloipherlouifils
    @eloipherlouifils 4 роки тому +11

    The best method is to use a regular brush or even ya fingers in a klaw shape and that’s because towel and sponge strips moisture these item literally soak up water now when using brush or finger the brush is faster day 1 result but your fingers over time like waving will give u better results as your hair grows longer or u can start off using a brush and when u hair gets longer switch to using ur finger key note use this method with wet wet hair or showering especially with longer hair so u can shape in the direction u want ya hair to flow and grow

    Hey Gunther. I was wondering. Im a white dude with the waviest hair type you can get I don’t remember the technical term. But I was wondering if Bantu knots was a good idea to get curls. I want tight curls and I’ve had my hair permed before. Also I was wondering if you knew if getting a perm and then Bantu knotting my hair would make my hair tight curls? Also other people Im open to suggestions to get tighter curls. Anything is appreciated.😁
