Bantu Knot Out

When I was doing hair on my vacation, I just so happened to have one client who was  natural. I loved [envied] her natural tresses and couldn't get over her texture. To my surprise she didn't know what Bantu knots were and what they did. Of course I told her about them and what they look like. So I wanted to do the same for those of you who don't know either. This is from a Bantu knot I did over the winter break.

This is the result of the Bantu knot out. Unfortunately, I can't seem to duplicate this look and am having trouble taking the knots out without disturbing the curl. Any tips? Please leave a comment.
