Enroll in Course
This standalone professional HD video tutorial will teach you exactly how to create a stunning, neat, tight INSTANT DREAD (or instant loc) using the high quality Divine Hand & Hook Method (DH&H for short).
In the 30 minutes of professional tuition you'll learn exactly how to hold the hook correctly, how to set up your hair if you're making a dread extension, how to do correct backcombing to start with the perfect base, how to apply the DH&H method from root to tip, how to finish the dread & how to ensure not much length is lost.
It doesn't go into making a full head of dreads, however combined with the FREE eguide it will allow you to make a full head of dreads on YOURSELF (with some help from a friend).
The crochet method of dreadlocking originated in Thailand and Em taught herself how to do it after her first dreads were made in Thailand. She then personalised & innovated how to use the crochet to make low maintenance dreads that don't lose much length and perfected it over a 20 year period of dreadlocking ALL hair types around the world.
Essentially if your goal is to have neat, tight, well formed, all natural dreadlocks without the ongoing work then this is the best way to go.

Your Instructor
Em has been working with dreadlocks since she got her first dreadlocks in Thailand in the year 2000. She taught herself how to do her own dread maintenance using a small crochet hook and quickly she began to get maintenance requests from other travelers who were amazed that no wax or rolling was involved. Because back then - nobody outside of Bangkok knew about the crochet method of doing instantly permanent dread work! It was all about backcomb, roll, twist, rip & roll or wax wax wax!
Em travelled the world over a continuous 6 year period creating & maintaining dreads for people in UK, Italy, Holland, Spain, Brazil and on her return to Australia in 2006 she discovered that there were no dreadlock services utilising the crochet hook method in existance. This was when she turned her travel hobby biz turned into a true part time business and Divine Dreadlocks was born.
Through word of mouth and rave reviews her reputation grew to an international standing which enabled her to be booked out 6 months in advance. This allowed her to stop working as a high school teacher (design & technology) and to earn a decent wage in a 3 day working week, being at home as her babies were born and grew to school age.
Due to requests to teach others her skills and trade, she utilised her professional teaching knowledge to create a series of dreadlocking courses to help others learn how to do dreadlocks properly.
The Natural Dread Loctician Course series is aimed at empowering others to have all the skills and knowledge necessary to set up their own "lifestyle businesses" from home, studio or hair salon offering a high quality dreadlock service.
She wishes to empower as many people as possible to work in ways that allow them to:
1) Be their own boss,
2) Feel the freedom of choosing their own work days and hours,
3) Earn good money from home (up to $70/hr)
4) And gain financial stability or abundance with children.
