Course Curriculum
- The complete sectioning system: zone separation, temporal vs occipital division, row-by-row base creation for 50 and 60-piece DE layouts, crown triangle geometry, center vs side parting.
- Deep focus on the hardest zone of the head — triangle geometry, eyebrow reference points, quadrilateral base division, balanced look from every angle.
- The 4-row grid system for the occipital zone: 20 even bases from nape hairline to crown transition, short nape hair management, mid-process correction.
- Three-strand braid attachment for double ended dreadlocks. Root tension, fold direction, secure base — the most common install request.
- Single-strand attachment for single ended dreadlocks. The cleanest finish for partial-head sets and accent installs.
- French-braid weaving for double ended dreads. Flatter at the root, smoother transition, the European-favorite technique.
- Scandinavian braid-in for single ended dreads. The smoothest result at the parting line, ideal for clients who part their hair daily.

Student Reviews
my partner bought this course to install a SE set on my head and it ended up being a really fun project for us. the scandinavian method lessons are what we used in the end because i wanted a flatter root, the result is so clean at the parting line. we had to rewatch lesson 2 about the crown a few times because that part is genuinely tricky, but the slow pace of the videos made it doable. great that you have lifetime access, we'll definitely use it again when we redo the install.
bought the course to install a DE set on my best friends head, both of us complete beginners. the head sectioning lessons alone saved us from a total disaster, sectioning is way harder than it looks before you watch someone do it properly. anastasia explains things clearly without rushing and the close-ups actually show whats happening with the hands. took us around 6 hours start to finish but the result looks pretty pro for two amateurs. money well spent.
Mi amiga compró este curso para poder instalarme un set DE en casa, ninguna de las dos había hecho dreads antes. La parte de la sección del cuero cabelludo fue la más difícil pero también la mejor explicada, el sistema de la coronilla con los puntos de referencia de las cejas funcionó perfecto. Anastasia tiene una forma de explicar muy tranquila, no te abruma. Tardamos 7 horas pero quedó genial.
