Student Reviews
havent visited my stylist in 8 months thanks to this course. the part about handling those long stray hairs that stick out (he calls them christmas tree hairs which made me laugh) was so helpful, i used to just cut them which is apparently very wrong. love that he uses his own dreads to demonstrate, you can tell he actually does this himself. for $30ish this is a no brainer if you have natural dreads.
ive had natural dreads for 5 years and was paying my stylist 80 euros every 3 months, finally decided to learn it myself. the root felting technique is honestly easier than i thought once you understand the right pressure, the videos zoom in close enough to see the actual finger movement. the crochet hook section is more advanced but danila walks you through fixing the brushy tips which was my biggest issue. saved me money already.
Curso de mantenimiento muy completo. Aprendí la técnica de root felting que me ha permitido mantener mis dreads naturales en perfecto estado durante meses. Antes iba al peluquero cada 6 semanas y me cobraba 60€ cada vez, ahora lo hago yo mismo. Recomiendo.
