Tools & Affiliate Links

We recommend buying all necessary tools immediately so you receive them as soon as possible to start your training.

Can I use a different tool instead?

How do I know which tools I need for a specific course?

Each tool listed on our website is categorized according to its corresponding course. We also provide tool links within the course content.

How do your Amazon links work?

We link to products listed on Amazon.com. When you click an Amazon link to purchase an item we receive a very small percentage of that sale. There is absolutely no additional cost to you as a customer however it helps to offset some of our website costs.

About Dreadlock Central

What hair types have you worked with?

We have worked with ALL hair textures and ethnicities you can imagine. African, Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Native American, and every mixed race you could imagine. Our success rate is extremely high with any hair type, with just a few very rare exceptions. However, the method we use has proven to be a solution for so many clients with unique or stubborn hair textures that other salons were incompetent with.

How much experience do you have?

Collectively our team has served over 3,000 appointments with over 10,000 hours at the time of writing (1/19/22). In addition to our experience we’ve also earned a great reputation with an average 4.9 star rating.

How many people have you trained?

We’ve trained a total of 9 people to join our team. Each person was trained one at a time over the course of several years. This in-person training process has been refined and optimized to be as effective as possible. The courses we provide here are a direct result of our in-person training experience. They are also a further effort to improve efficiency in training for our team.

Why are you giving your secrets away?

A major goal of our business is to bring the crochet method to the masses. For several years we’ve expanded our team, but it’s proven to be quite a challenge and taking a lot of time and energy. Not to mention our current team is often overbooked with an abundance of clientele. By providing online training and pairing it with a graduate directory we are able expand the reach of the Instant Locs Crochet Method to a much larger demographic!

Where are you located?

We are a mobile service based in major cities along the East Coast United States. We’re primarily serving Washington DC, however we currently have a presence in New York City, Atlanta, Miami, Baltimore, and Virginia Beach.

Can I join your team?

At this time we are not expanding our team of Locticians any further. However, exceptions may be made under the right circumstances with the right person in the right location.
