OUR STORY
Understanding the Dreadlock Central Philosophy.

Our Philosophy

We believe that having Dreadlocks should be simple. Period. Many salons and influencers use excessive products and over complicate the maintenance routine of dreadlocks. We’ve stripped away all the noise to simplify the it all for our community.

How Dreadlock Central started

It all started in 2010 when Colby got his first set of dreadlocks. Needless to say, that was a nightmare.. Second try didn’t work either. Third time was a charm! With well over a decade of experimenting, learning, and refining his skills by doing his own dreadlocks and serving clients ranging in all hair textures, Colby has developed the Dreadlock Central brand to help guide others to avoid the problems he dealt with along his Dreadlock Journey in his early days.

Education

Over the years we’ve learned so much about dreadlocks, products, and methods. Many of those things oppose a lot of advice you’ll find online or even from salons. We believe in sharing our knowledge via these courses and our blog posts.

Team Building

In 2017 Colby trained Carlee, the first addition to the Dreadlock Central team. Carlee is our OG! Since then we’ve continued to expand to new cities with new team members. And in an attempt to expand further we’re passing along this training program to you!

Products

After deep research, consultations with a Professional Cosmetic Chemist, and a much deeper understanding of the chemistry of Shampoo’s. Colby has narrowed down a list of the best products for our clients. Not to mention the upcoming development of our own!

Directory

We’re seeking to build out a Directory to serve as a “Google Maps” version for the Instant Locs Crochet Method. This project is in development, however we seek to connect our graduates and other verified locticians to the clients in need of their skills and services.

Dissolving borders

We believe that dreadlocks are universal to all human beings -- therefore we strive to dissolve the ethnic borders that divide the dreadlock industry. And the method we teach achieves exactly that!
