So, I tried a bantu-out (for the 100th time). This time on dry, non-manipulated (no heat etc.) hair. I also did them a little smaller than usual.                               Product used: Blue Magic Leave in Conditioner with Mango and Lime                  I did this style for the boat-ride as well (sea-ing blue post) and it came out marvelous!!                                UGH!! I am determined to MASTER the bantu- out. I will not give up. :)  Results: 3/10 Blessings Jen
