Xavier has been dreaming for a long time of creating natural salt and pepper dreads for men

Originally from the West Indies and Martinique to be precise, he now lives in Port-Louis in Guadeloupe. The natural dreadlocks are the symbol of the successful emancipation of the Caribbean people. It is according to him the standard of a recovered freedom.

Xavier, who has a degree in political science and sociology, was for a long time the director of an important NGO in Marseille: Humani Terra, the surgeons of the world

At the dawn of a return to the West Indies and a change of professional life, he wanted to wear natural dreadlocks. A way to find, thus, his Caribbean identity.

After having discovered my realizations of afro dreads, Xavier entrusts me the mission to create his locks.

After an analysis of her hair during a pre-visit, I advised her to create short dreads to highlight her salt and pepper hair. Her length was perfect so she didn't have to resort to extensions.

The duration of this creation was 6 hours. Xavier was delighted with this creation. Concerned about the maintenance of his dreadlocks, I gave him some advice on how to take good care of them. In addition, I recommended him hair products dedicated to dreads.

Four months later, before he moved to Guadeloupe, he came back to see me for a maintenance of his dreads. His care routine was perfect. His dreadlocks were already beautifully pre-mature.

Xavier, who loves literature and thrillers, has written a novel: Les mornes descendants.

Through the drama of Bob Marley's disappearance, this book, by a metaphorical detour, invites the reader to discover the dark light of Martinique. At the rhythm of a creolized and poetic language, the author puts in perspective his novelistic vision of a youth and a people in search of emancipation.
