DaddyDread Academy teaches the complete dreadlock production workflow — the same techniques our studio uses for every paid client set. Whether you want to learn to make dreadlocks from scratch, master dreadlock installation, or build a career as a loctician — every lesson is filmed step-by-step from real production work, not theory.
Dreadlock making: create professional-grade dreads using the crochet method — pure crochet braiding with 0.4–0.6 mm precision hooks. Smooth synthetic dreads (steam-finished), textured dreads (boiling-water-set), curly dreads (spiral henlon), and natural human hair dreadlocks using comb and crochet hook only — no heat, no glue, no wrapping.
Dreadlock installation training: braid-in method for temporary 1.5–2 month wear cycles, crochet-in installation for permanent extensions onto existing locs, cornrow and micro-braid base preparation, DE and SE format placement.
Head sectioning: precise grid mapping of the scalp — brick-lay pattern, triangle pattern, square pattern, density planning, and calculating how many dreads per section for even professional results.
Business and certification: pricing dreadlock services, finding clients, building a portfolio, and earning your Certificate of Completion. Buy individual lessons for specific skills or enroll in full courses for complete professional dreadlock training.
