Learn with Shani

Loc & hair courses

Whether you're starting your own loc journey, caring for a loved one's hair, or building skills as a stylist, Shani teaches the craft the way she practices it — hands-on and rooted in healthy hair.

How Shani Teaches

Understand the hair, then start the locs

As a master loctician and braider, Shani believes good technique starts with understanding the hair in front of you.

You'll begin with the foundation — scalp health, texture, and density — so every method makes sense before your hands touch a single coil. From there she walks you step by step through starting locs: sectioning, comb coils, and two-strand twists, and how to choose the right method for each head of hair. Then comes the part most people skip — keeping locs healthy as they grow. With small groups and one-on-one options, you get real practice and real feedback, not just watching.

01 · Understand the hair

Scalp health, texture, and density — what natural hair and locs need to thrive.

02 · Start the locs

Sectioning, comb coils, and two-strand twists, plus choosing the right method for the hair.

03 · Keep them healthy

Retwists, moisture, and a simple maintenance routine you can repeat and teach.

04 · Practice with feedback

Hands-on time with Shani guiding every step until it clicks.
