Super future professionals of creation. Dreads Academy, the school of dreadlocks.

Wow! That's what I thought when I saw the result after only 2 days of training! I couldn't imagine how proud I would be of my students when they had never had a course on how to create natural crochet dreads.

I asked Adeline to be my model because she knows my work and the difficulty of creating such a hairstyle. With a lot of pedagogy I gave my students my experience and my advice. I showed them the useful gestures and especially those not to do... but their ability to listen and the speed with which they memorized each step was essential to the success of their learning.

I was so impressed with their work that I gave them my own dreadlocks.

And I did well! A real pride for me!

Training in several stages

The Dreads Academy training is not just a course. It's a real program that evolves step by step as you learn.

Stage 02

Melody, Samantha and Marjorie understood that they had to practice, practice and practice. That's why the second step is essential. It consists in repeating at home all the theoretical phases taught on a support that I provide in the "Dreads Academy Discovery Workshop Kit".

Dreads Academy Discovery Workshop Kit : 2 doll heads, 2 hooks, clips, comb, belt...

The validation of the " creation and maintenance of natural dreads" takes place in my workshop during a VIP Training side by side with me.

Stage 03

This stage consists of a real situation with real clients who wish to wear natural dreadlocks. This is a crucial stage because the student is directly confronted with the client's requirements and must respond in a professional manner.

Of course, the model-client must accept that the student has recently acquired the techniques of posing. I remain in observation and if necessary I intervene during the performance to make sure that everything goes well for the student and the client.
