Welcome to School Kids! Subject? Dreadology!

I consider myself something of an expert when it comes to dreads. As the owner of Dreadology Salon in NYC; I get to see just about everything you have ever imagined in the arena of dreadlocks. I have also tried every commercial; home-made; organic & farm-direct dread products and or accessory on the market. For some of you; my findings will be much loved products. Others will be little known products found in Chinatown's herbal apothecaries. In addition to reviewing and discussing dread products and techniques for both dreading & maintaining locks; I will also let you in on the miriad of products and lines of tams, head-wraps, dread-bands, scarfs, beads, coils & accessories. I hope this into has piqued a few you nappy headed kid's interest! This blog is written by a licensed cosmetologist, my specialty however is dreadlocks, beginning applications as well as maintenance, treatment, repair, extensions (both human and synthetic) and synth dreads. I have been working in the fashion industry as a stylist for 15 yrs. The last three years I have dedicated strictly to Dreadlocks. I had natural dreads for years. I cut them off; to grow my hair out; so I could try a dread perm. I spent years on tour with phish and learned the art of locking hair of all textures and types. My professional training and master classes taught me the science of the dread. Dreadology is mixing the arts and crafts with the latest in professional salon services to create a complete system for dreading and locking hair of all types. This is not a blog for straight, curly, wavy or afro textured hair. This is a place to learn and share locking techniques used in every culture and through this meshing of techniques we have Dreadology; The Art & Science of Dreadlocks. Please subscribe to our new blog and become a fan on our facebook page; We will be offering monthly give-aways of products, t-shirts and free dread services. Please feel free to ask any questions. If there is a topic you would like me to touch on just give a shout out. Our first post will be all about accessories for the dreaded head; who makes them; where you can get them & how you should wear them. Until then, One Love Tobias Dreadology NYC
