Actively sending snacks, water, and kisses!!

thank you so much for ur support 💝

MINI GUIDE TO LOCS

Newer locs usually need to be washed every 1 to 2 weeks. If you wash them more, it can lead to dryness, itchiness, breakage or flakiness. After your locs have matured, regular washing is okay (make sure to use residue-free shampoo!)

Moisturise regularly, as dry locs can lead to breakage. However, using heavy products can create build-up. Be vigilant with how much product you’re putting in your hair.

Be gentle with your locs when styling or retwisting. Excessive touching, pulling twisting of locs can cause thinning or breakage.

Try to reduce exposed friction to your locs. Sleep with a silk bonnet, avoid stressing hairstyles, wear headbands during physical activities and don’t re-twist frequently.

Drink water and maintain a healthy diet. Sometimes, the food you eat can reflect the quality of your hair. There are plenty of foods out there that support hair growth.

When drying your locs, avoid heat. Instead, try to squeeze excess water from each section of your hair, then wrap it in a microfibre tower. Drying locs incorrectly can cause mould or odour.

Be aware of what is in your products. Lean towards products created with natural hair in mind while actively avoiding sulphates, parabens and mineral oil as they can dehydrate your hair.

I'ma go with made up character, if we did go with dead fish lady, I'm going with the Bruno gets custody. For the made up character, I can imagine her having a dark and rich kind of chocolatety skin tone similar to Felix' skintone, but deeper, with black hair in the cool dreadloccks style, green eyes and freckles! Idk what her dress would look like

Hmmm, depends on a couple of things! You could go with green or shades of green to match her husband, but that's not necessary. What's her personality?
