Faux Locks Behaviour!!!

I have been longing to do artificial dreads on my hair with kinky braid extensions, so I asked around. Usually the one I know they do some sort of sewing and I’ve been reluctant to do that because it takes time to get it done and take it out and I have a strong feeling that it’ll cut your hair when you’re taking it out.

This is the season where moisture is highly needed not just for our bodies but for our hair as well. The change in weather would make our hair feel dry, bristle, frizzy and longing for MOISTURE!!
