The Dreadlock Blog

The last weekend in February I got to spend together with 15 locticians in different stages of their  loctician career some are just starting out and some have over 10 years of experience. To be a loctician can be a lonely road becuause there is not there many locticians out there so it has been super important for me to be able to build up a community for the locticians that I educate and to give them something that I did not have when I started out over 20 years ago. 

These girls traveled from all over the world to come to this training and to get more experience and not only learn from me but to learn from echother.

Anticipation before starting the first hairmodel of the weekend.

This is our first hairmodel she flew in from Uk just to be our hairmodel, she was not happy with the dreadlock extensions that she had, she thought they feelt boring and dead in the color so we took some of them out, totaly and made new dreadlocks and we extanged all the dreadlock extenders...

Follow along a day together with Zarah when she did hands on loctician training together with me. The prodject we had was another Seienstyle student Krista being our hairmodel. She was not happy with her dreadlocks and she needed a change. 

Alot of color and bleach had broken Kristys dreadlocks. 

Follow along in our day in the video above! 

Dreadlock education: putting on bleach on dreadlocks can make the hair very dry and make them start to break apart.

Here you see that her own hair is moving away for her extension due to the quality of her own hair and the hair extension due to chemical treatment.

Zarah and Kristi enjoying themselfs.

We were cutting off the dreadlocks totaly and just started to extend the dreadlocks as close to the root as possible.

More dreadlocks are in the creation.

We have mixed up about 4 different hair colors in the dreadlock extenders for the new dreadlocks that we are creating.

I do not only offer hands on loctician training...

Follow along a two days hands on loctician course together with Kristi from California that is now on her way to get her loctician certificate. 

We start with going through the basic dreadlock technique of the Seienstyle method of doing dreadlocks.

Kristi has been practicing at at home through my online videos and now we are going through to see if she is doing everything the best possible way.

Selfie before the day begins, you can tell that a new friendship is being started already now.

Our model is super exited to get the dreadlocks that she has always dreamed of. She could not belive that it was about to happen that day. Veronica is up for a challenge of creating dreadlocks with extensions for the first time ever! 

Here is our models hair before.

See a full video of the loctician course day one with Veronika from the Czech republic how we create dreadlocks with extensions with some extra synthetic dreadlocks as extra color and volume to the hair.

It has started, the creation of the dreadlocks with extensions.

First the dreadlock is created of the models hair and then the human hair attached and with that an extension is created.

Sectioning off the hair is very imoportant so that you will have a good system to the dreadlocks and they lie good on the head.

You have this huge dream of becoming a loctician but you have no plan on how you

can become one and what is it that you have to do step-by-step in order to be able

to thrive as a loctician, or maybe you are interested to see if becoming a loctician is

something for you?

Trust me I have been there and I have spent countless hours here and there not

knowing what to focus on and what to do in order to be able to get the right

education needed to know everything that I need to know about dreadlocks in

order to feel secure when I’m doing them and not knowing what to answer when it

comes to my clients questions.

It took me many years of testing and studying my clients hair and trying out new

methods in order to really get to know what I had to do for my clients to have an

awesome dreadlock journey. Because having dreadlocks is a journey and
