Welcome to The Island Girl Blog Where Locs, Love & Growth Come Together

Hey beautiful souls,

Welcome to The Island Girl Blog—a space where I’ll be sharing my personal journey, professional tips, and everything you need to know about starting, maintaining, and thriving with locs.

My name is Benkela Bois, founder of The Island Girl Collection—a home-based brand born out of love, healing, and the desire to help others embrace their natural crown. What started as braids and wigs has now grown into a full loc-centered business rooted in purpose and passion.

This blog is for you if:

• You’re thinking about starting locs

• You’re already in your journey and want better care tips

• You’re an aspiring loctician ready to turn your gift into a business

• Or you just want to learn how to love your hair (and yourself) through every phase

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing chapters from my personal book—from how I started, to what products I use, to all the lessons I’ve learned along the way. No fluff, no filters—just real advice, real stories, and real growth.

You don’t have to walk this journey alone. I’m right here with you—twist by twist, crown by crown.

Thank you for being here. Let’s grow together.

With love,Benkela

Founder, The Island Girl Collection
