Since that initial announcement, the Qualiopi-certified natural dreadlock training courses offered by Dreads Expert have continued to evolve.

My approach is becoming more refined, the content is expanding, and new ways of learning are taking shape—all while maintaining the same commitment: to share technical, interpersonal, and professional expertise in the art of natural dreadlocks.

Today, our courses are offered both in person in Saint-Raphaël and, increasingly, online, with premium video content designed to help students continue their learning at their own pace.

A new development for Dreads Expert training courses

Students' needs are changing, and so are my training programs.

Some people are looking for a fully immersive in-person experience, while others prefer more flexibility with learning materials tailored to their own pace.

It is within this context that Dreads Expert training programs are evolving today, adopting a more comprehensive and modern approach that remains focused on technical skill and an understanding of natural hair.

Focus: Caring for Afro Dreadlocks

Among my recent developments, I have developed a specialized service focused on Afro dreadlock care.

This technique requires precision, gentleness, and skill, yet it is still poorly taught today, even though it is essential for ensuring strong, long-lasting locks.

This video clip shows some of the work done during the training sessions and highlights the importance of using the right technique for each hair type.

In-person training courses and a shift toward online learning

Dreads Expert training courses remain in-person, featuring hands-on guidance, practical demonstrations, and real-world practice on models.

At the same time, new video content is currently being developed to gradually introduce additional online formats.

A tailored and professional approach

Every student comes with a different project, a different skill level, and a different perspective.

That is why my approach remains personalized, so that I can teach a technique that is consistent, sustainable, and tailored to real-world conditions.
