In the heart of St. Augustine, FL, the nation’s oldest city, you’ll find a true artist of the loc community—one who’s been passionate about locs for a lifetime and perfecting her craft for nearly six years. Meet Savannah Gowdy from Wild Kind Hair Company.
Not only has Savannah dedicated herself to creating stunning locs for others, but she’s also been on her own loc journey for almost seven years. With two sets under her belt, she says, “I can’t imagine ever not having them again.”
Her advice to all the dread heads out there? “Don’t be afraid to stand out—your uniqueness is what makes you beautiful.”
When it comes to Dollylocks, she’s obsessed with the Dreadshop Refreshing Spray. “I love the Lavender and Lime combination, but each scent is amazing in its own way… nothing like breaking stigmas and being a hippie that smells delish!”
Savannah’s mantra?
“Your locs are more than just knotted hair—they’re a statement. Wear them bold, wear them wild, wear them exactly as you want. Confidence is the best style, and individuality is the trend that never fades. Be You. Be Rare. Stay Wild."
We love celebrating the artists who keep our loc community thriving. Thank you for sharing your passion and wisdom with us!
