Locs training: what to learn and how to choose a course
Locs are a style of their own, built over months and years. To start and maintain them as a service you need precise skills; to advise well you also need to understand what happens at the root. Here is how to find your way among locs courses.

In short
A serious locs course covers two things: technique (crochet, interlocking, starter twists or coils, retwisting the roots, repairs) and maintenance (washing, drying, moisture, root tension). The basics and the method can be learned online; the hands-on skills are then refined through practice. The Ozentya Method is adding a full module dedicated to locs.
The Ozentya Method teaches a cosmetic approach to hair consultation. It is not a state diploma and does not replace a hairdressing qualification or the advice of a doctor or dermatologist. The course is taught in French.
Techniques taught in locs training
Starting: two-strand twists, coils, comb coils or crochet, choosing section size and layout, and guidance for the starter locs phase. Root maintenance: palm rolling, interlocking or crochet, and how often; retwisting too tightly or too often weakens the root. Repairs: consolidating weak, broken or splitting locs without pulling on the scalp.
What is often forgotten: the scalp
Under locs the scalp must stay clean and free of residue. A shampoo that rinses out well, drying to the core and light products prevent build-up and odours. Our locs care guide details the routine to pass on to your clients.
How to choose a locs course
Ask for the detailed syllabus, the real practice time (on a mannequin head or a model), the number of trainees per trainer and the techniques covered. Look at the trainer's recent work. In France, starting and maintaining locs as a paid service is hairdressing, a regulated trade; check the qualification required where you work.
The Ozentya Method and locs
The Ozentya Method online course already teaches the basics you need to advise people with locs: understanding afro hair and the scalp, spotting damaging habits, building a routine and follow-up. A full module dedicated to locs is coming; with lifetime access and updates, enrolled students will get it. The course is taught in French.

Frequently asked questions
Can you learn to start locs online?
You can learn the theory online, but starting and retwisting are best learned through practice with a trainer who corrects you live.
Does the Ozentya course include a locs module?
A full module dedicated to locs is being added to the course. It will be included for enrolled students through lifetime access and updates.
How often should locs be retwisted?
Usually every 4 to 8 weeks depending on growth and technique; retwisting too often weakens the root.
