Welcome to PatiDreads Academy 🎓
Hi, I’m Pati, a synthetic dreadlock artist based in Lisbon, Portugal.
I’ve been making dreads since 2018. I’ve sold 1,200+ sets on Etsy (4.9★ from 430 reviews) and taught around 150 artists and students. My locks are known for being soft, light and textured, and here I show you exactly how I make them.
This is a community for synthetic dreadlock artists, from complete beginners to pros. Ask questions, share your sets and get feedback from me and other artists.
