How does it work?
I have worked professionally with dreadlocks for over 26 years. During that time, I developed my own method â the Seienstyle Process.
Through thousands of hours working with different hair types, I have refined a technique that creates dreadlocks that are durable, comfortable, and aesthetically beautiful.
The method is designed so that your dreadlocks:
âą look clean and well-defined immediately after installation
âą mature faster and develop naturally over time
âą are gentle on the hair and scalp
âą feel light and natural to wear
My focus is always to create dreadlocks that not only look beautiful on the first day, but that continue to develop and age beautifully over time.
Consultation â we begin with your vision
When you come to me, we always begin with a consultation where we talk about:
âą your hair type
âą your hair history
âą how you want your dreadlocks to look
âą your lifestyle
I often recommend that you bring:
âą photos of dreadlocks you like
âą photos of dreadlocks you do not like
This makes it much easier for me to understand the style you are drawn to.
Some people want very natural-looking dreadlocks with a lot of movement, while others prefer more defined and even dreadlocks.
There is no right or wrong â the goal is always to create dreadlocks that feel right for you.
Designing your micro dreadlocks
Once we have talked through your vision, I begin designing how your dreadlocks will be created.
Together we decide:
âą how thin the dreadlocks should be
âą how many dreadlocks you want
âą how the sections of the hair should be placed
âą whether the ends should be loose or fully dreaded
âą whether we will use extensions
Micro dreadlocks mean that each dreadlock is thinner than traditional dreadlocks, which creates a softer and more natural movement in the hair.
Because they are thinner, you usually have more dreadlocks in total, which makes the hairstyle more flexible when it comes to styling.
The creation process
When the work begins, the hair is divided into carefully planned sections.
I then create each dreadlock individually using my Seienstyle Process technique.
This is a craft where every dreadlock is shaped by hand.
I work methodically and calmly in order to:
âą create even and durable dreadlocks
âą protect the scalp
âą ensure that the dreadlocks develop well over time
Throughout the entire process we stay in dialogue so that you feel comfortable and involved in the result.
Different ways to create micro dreadlocks
Micro dreadlocks can be created in several different ways depending on your hair and the result you want to achieve.
Micro dreadlocks on your own hair
Here we create thin dreadlocks directly in your natural hair.
This is ideal if you want your own hair to develop into dreadlocks and follow the process from the beginning.
Over time, the dreadlocks will mature and develop their own unique character.
Micro dreadlocks with extensions
If you would like longer or fuller dreadlocks immediately, we can use extensions made from real human hair.
The extensions are integrated into the dreadlocks so they look as natural as possible.
This can be a good option if:
âą your hair is shorter
âą you want more length right away
âą you want to create a fuller hairstyle
Synthetic dreadlocks
If you want to try dreadlocks without making a permanent change, synthetic dreadlocks can be braided into your hair.
This is a temporary option where the dreadlocks usually stay in for a few weeks before being removed.
Synthetic dreadlocks can be a great way to:
âą experience what it feels like to have dreadlocks
âą try different colors
âą experiment with different styles
A calm and personal experience
Creating dreadlocks is a long process, and I want it to be a positive and relaxing experience.
Many of my clients describe their time in the chair as almost meditative.
We take breaks when needed, and you can read, listen to music, or simply relax while the work is being done.
My goal is for you to leave the salon with:
âą beautiful dreadlocks
âą a sense of calm
âą and a hairstyle that truly feels like you.
