Loctician Training in Arkansas: Hands-On Dreadlock Training With the Seienstyle Process

By Ann-Marie Christell, Seienstyle

No wax, no glue, no shortcuts

I have seen locticians use wax to make hair stick together, heavy gels to hold sections in place, and in some cases harsh chemicals or even glue. I wish I were exaggerating.

My name is Ann-Marie Christell, and I have been a professional loctician for over 26 years. I created the Seienstyle process because I believe dreadlocks should never need products to hold them together. The hair itself does the work, supported by skilled hands and a well-designed technique. Your clients walk out with hair that feels like hair.

If you live in Arkansas and feel drawn to becoming a loctician, I would love to teach you this clean way of working.

Why Arkansas

Arkansas is a state of forests, rivers, mountains and natural springs, from the Ozarks around Fayetteville to Hot Springs and the city life of Little Rock. Many people there live close to nature and care about what they put on their bodies.

That makes a product-free method a natural fit. People who choose dreadlocks often want something natural and lasting, not hair coated in something sticky they will spend months trying to wash out. In Arkansas, there are people who have been dreaming of exactly that for years.

The training

The Professional Loctician In-Person Training is a two-day, one-on-one training. I travel to you, wherever you are in Arkansas, and we work together on live hair models.

You choose the services you most want to learn before we meet. The options include dreadlocks on natural hair, dreadlocks with extensions, maintenance, mermaid dreadlocks, synthetic dreadlocks and more. Because it is just the two of us, I can guide your hands directly and shape the training around your level.

No awkward stage

Many people believe new dreadlocks have to go through months or even years of looking frizzy and unfinished. With the Seienstyle process, they do not. We work with the hair's natural ability to lock, giving it the right conditions from the very first day, so dreadlocks begin to mature within two to three months.

The method also works on every hair texture and is gentle on both your hands and your client's scalp. We talk about your posture and tools, about holding space for clients through long appointments, and about building a practice that fits your life.

Ongoing support

Before our two days, we meet on a one-on-one video call. Afterwards, you continue with coaching calls, join the Seienstyle community and keep lifetime access to The Professional Loctician Online Course.

So, is in-person loctician training in Arkansas right for you?

It may be, if you want to create clean, natural dreadlocks without relying on products, and learn with one-on-one guidance from someone with 26 years of experience.
