Such good work happening here!

Such a beautiful maintenance session today ✨
Refreshing these lovely locks while sharing good conversation, calm energy, and even a beautiful lunch together made the whole day feel extra special.
I love that these sessions become more than just hair they are moments to slow down, connect, laugh, and give some love back to the dread journey.
Feeling grateful for the beautiful souls that sit in my chair.🙏🙏

This amazing new Authentic Loctitian completed this week. Her work is amazing in synthetics and natural dreadlocks. If you haven’t already check her out!

I’ve just completed 3 days of practical training with Authentic Dreads.
And now I’m officially a natural dreadlock loctician!!!!! So I’m celebrating with a weekend away in Byfield.

Sometimes the hardest part of creating a deliberate life is choosing from what you truly want… instead of only choosing from what feels safe and familiar.

There’s rarely a guarantee at the start.
Just the decision to back yourself through the uncertainty, the learning, the discomfort and the growth.

I think that’s where self trust is actually built.

Less force.
More trust.
More faith filled decisions.

Becoming a loctician isn’t just learning a skill, it’s stepping into being a business owner too.

You get to build something that’s yours, while still staying connected to people, to your work, and to a community that actually feels good to be part of.

It might feel a bit messy at the start. That’s normal. It’s simple, and it gets easier with practice.

This course isn’t just dreadlocks. It’s the business, the confidence, and the support so you’re not left figuring it out alone.

You’re learning from all the years, mistakes, and lessons I’ve already walked through… so you don’t have to do it the hard way 🤍

I see so many people coming in needing “fix-ups” just three weeks after their dreadlocks are installed.
Lumpy. Bumpy. Loose. Already falling apart.

This is what a Caucasian dreadlocks specialist looks like.
This is what happens when techniques are actually designed for Caucasian hair.

These dreads have been swimming every single day since the install, and the structure is still solid. That’s not luck, that’s correct foundation, correct sectioning, correct tension, and an understanding of how this hair type behaves over time.

Who you choose as your loctician matters.
Not just for how your dreads look at the start, but for how they mature, lock, and last.

Your dreadlocks journey is a long one.
Make sure it’s started, and supported by someone with the right skills for your hair.

✨ What a massive week of dreads it’s been in the first week back home after America!
Three full extensions, some beautiful new connections, and a few repair jobs that turned out a little bigger than expected 😅

Feeling so grateful to be back in flow, creating and reconnecting with everyone before we roll into Christmas. Can’t wait to see you all for your yearly maintenances and fresh locks heading into summer 🌞🖤

OMG! I loved these too.

What a journey with this amazing woman and loctician.

I have learnt so much being a part of her journey.

These dreads were sick! I miss this set from 9 years ago. All my own hair and absolutely smashed with hair dying 😅

One day my locs will be this long naturally again, if I can just be bloody patient lol 😆

Authentic Dreads started as a passion and grew into a purpose. ✨

What began as a way to create quality, natural dreadlocks turned into something so much bigger—a space for transformation, self-expression, and connection. Grateful for this journey and for every incredible soul who has trusted me with theirs. 💛

📢 Wax & Dreadlocks – What's the Go? 🤔

Wax and dreads—it's a hot debate in the loc community! Some swear by it, others avoid it like the plague. But what’s actually good, bad, or in-between? 💭

🌿 Good Wax? Washes out easily, like gels or hairsprays for styling.�🚫 Bad Wax? Builds up, traps moisture, and can leave dreads smelling musty.�🤷‍♀️ Maybe? Sometimes useful for taming flyaways, but is it worth it?

I’ve shared my thoughts in this post, but I’d love to hear yours! 👇 Drop a comment and let’s chat about your experience with wax in dreadlocks! 💬✨
