Are you struggling to get the perfect bantu knots? Watch this step by step tutorial below.
Enjoy!
Do you consider bantu knots to be a style prep or an actual hairstyle that you can wear out? If you have ever watched the “Orange is the New Black” Netflix series, you know that Crazy Eyes is well known for always keeping her hair in bantu knots. Since then many females, even celebrities have been seen wearing them regularly.
I always thought of them as a “home” hairstyle. I personally would wear them only to create another style, but not as a style itself. I wouldn’t look cute wearing them out in the streets, as others do.
Now that natural hair is becoming more socially acceptable, do you think that bantu knots are appropriate for the workplace? Most jobs prefer hairstyles that are clean, slicked back, or straight, and in a ponytail. Companies complain that some natural hairstyles are distracting, and too exotic looking. But how is it right for people to think that the hair that grows out of our head is not professional????
I find that White people are “perceived” as being more closed off to textured hair because they are not used to seeing something that is not the typical norm.
Some are known to even ask intrusive questions, such as “How do you get your hair like that? “Can I touch it?” How long did it take you to do?” “How long does it last?” “How do you wash your hair?” etc.
Whenever I am asked certain questions about my hair, I wonder if the person is genuinely interested in learning about it, or are they just low key judging me. Have you ever felt that way?
Natural hair discrimination in the professional world has been going on for years, and is a serious topic that needs to be discussed so a change can be enforced.
Our hair, as it grows out of our head, is NOT unprofessional, it is apart who we are, and the styles we choose is a form of self expression.
