Using a Loctician to Grow Dreadlocks
A loctician is a hairstylist who specializes in dreadlocks: (dread)lock
(beaut)ician. Locticians work out of their homes, provide home
visits, or work in a hair salon.
Currently no licensing or certification exists for locticians. The
only method that requires certification is Sisterlocks. Make sure
the person chosen has some type of training or experience.
Here are some reasons for recruiting the help of a loctician:
Skip the beginning "ugly" stage. The ugly stage happens when the
natural route is chosen letting your hair do whatever it wants to
do. For about six months your hair may look like you just don't give
a damn. A loctician eliminate this stage by creating dreadlocks
through twisting or backcombing. Your "man-made" dreadlocks will
look more presentable until the hair starts locking naturally.
Only want dreadlocks for a day, week, or month. As stated above, a
loctician can twist you hair into a dreadlock style. Do not confuse
this with actually dreadlocks – a twist is simply stands of hair
forced to stick together through the use of beeswax or a similar
substance. You can change hairstyle by shampooing the beeswax out of
your hair and un-twisting the dreadlocks.
Need scalp treatment. Sometimes it's great to have a loctician
shampoo and oil your hair or dreadlocks. It's meditative and
relaxing.
Remove damages caused by chemicals. You may have used chemicals in
the past and need help getting your hair back to a natural state. A
loctician should be able to help you accomplish this goal.
Need style advice. You want to see the many different styles and
ways people are wearing dreadlocks.
Please understand a loctician is not needed to grow dreadlocks,
their role is to help the process and make sure you get what you
want from your experience of growing dreadlocks.
You need to learn
how to use a loctician effectively to get the dreadlocks you want
while saving time, energy, and money.
