“Your journey is yours to travel as you wish. So whether it’s natural locs, synthetic, or wool, the choice is yours to make alone. Don’t let anyone tell you, you can’t do it the way you want.”– Che Correa (@inaru.heketi)

Che’s been doing things her way from the start and we love her for it. Originally from the Caribbean and now living in Neenah, WI, she’s an all-around creative with a serious flair for photography, art, skateboarding, and even fire manipulation (yep, you read that right).

She’s been on her loc journey for 8 years and says she has “44, I think… somewhere between 42–45.” Her crown is cared for by Lilith’s Locs in Manitowoc, WI, and her ride-or-die product is the Nag Champa Refreshening Spray.

Why does she love her locs? “How low maintenance they are—and how I look good without having to do much.”

Che, thank you for bringing your energy, authenticity, and creativity to the Dollylocks community. We’re so lucky to have you!
