 Hair
Stylist Requirements:
Even if you've never provided
service for Hair Replacements before, you may be qualified and
capable of attaching, cutting and styling Hair Replacement Systems, with our
help. All you need is experienced hair cutting skills, including texturizing
knowledge using a razor and thinning shears, along with confidence (which is
what were here for if you need it). If you
would like to know more about the different retightening methods and products
needed than what is offered here, we can easily turn you into one of the
top hair stylists in the specialty field of H/R
See instructional DVD.
Attachment
of System:
Service for
Hair Replacement Systems most worn by men come with the capability to
Tape, Bond or Cable Weave. Taping is usually considered daily wear because the wearer
may remove it daily themselves. Taping and Bonding start out in the same manner.
Double-sided tape (we sell in rolls) is placed around perimeter from temple to
temple then stop. The contoured tape tab is placed in the frontal area. Its
easiest to stick the front down first on the forehead in the desired position.
Then lift up the back and pull off cover of double-sided tape. Daily wearers
press the System down tight on the head now. Tape will stick on skin or hair.
Extended wearers using the Bonding method, before you press the hair Replacement
System on, first run a thin squiggly line of Hardbond adhesive (see our
price page) along the sticky exposed tape. Important- only put this adhesive
on the tape, not right on the
Hair
Replacement System itself. There is no solvent for this hard bonding
adhesive so it will not come off whatever it comes in contact with.
It is recommended that this adhesive be attached to a short hair track on the
head that has been cut to about 1/4 inch long. To remove the System in about 4-6
weeks you will cut it off with electric clippers. Do not cut the hair right to
the scalp.
Cable
Weave Track and Women's Attachment:
The Cable Weave method is extended wear and requires a weaving
machine to do the job correctly. There is a little more involvement, but its
worth the time and investment. We have the World's only patented Electric Cable
Weaving Machine. It beats all the wooden wall weave boxes, or corn row braiding,
hands down.
Women's Systems are typically different from men's. Small clips may be sewn on
for Daily wear. Cable weave is the only option for extended wear. Bonding won't
work on women's Integration Systems. These are Systems with a 1/4 ribbon
perimeter and look kind of like a big fish net base, called Braided Mono Line.
This allows the clients own hair to be pulled up through and integrated with the
addition hair. No tape tabs are used at all. The Cable is weaved in a complete
circle, then the unit is sewn onto the cable track. See our
Educational Video
for
further information on obtaining and using the Electric Cable weaving method.
Cutting
the Systems:
Once the System has been attached with desired method, now
comes the fun part. Cutting these Systems in allows the
Hair Stylist to use their creative talents. For an Artist its like
being given a blank canvas that no one has previously touched. It's the ultimate
fulfillment in hair cutting.
To help in communicating with your clients desired results, pictures can speak
louder than words. Encourage the client to bring a picture they like or show
them a picture you think they would look good in.
It helps to understand the difference of hair as its growing from a head and
hair in a System base. As you know, new hair is always growing on a persons head
(Anagen Phase), dying (Catagen Phase), falling out (Telogen Phase), then
repeating itself. Because of this there are many natural varying lengths on the
interior of a normal haircut.
Hair Replacement Systems come to us with all the hair in it practically one
length. Therefore, the first thing we recommend the Stylist do is recreate hairs
natural growth pattern of having many lengths throughout. This is called
texturizing or thinning. To do this, take small partings and go over entire
System with a straight feather razor preferably. Length can also be removed
during this process as well. You may also use thinning shears by holding system
hair straight up and biting small chunks out at the halfway point. This works
well in the bang area to achieve a light wispy look. The more de-bulking you do,
the more realistic the end result will be. As you know, this hair cannot grow
back, so error to the side of caution. More hair can always be removed later.
Then use the shears to clean up and blend the System with clients own hair.
As with regular hair cutting, Stylists may use their own unique techniques when
cutting the System in. Rely on your own expertise, have confidence and go for
it. When you see the finished result, and the happy client, it makes you feel so
good!
We hope this information on how to
service hair replacement systems will help
hair stylists to break into the
hair replacement field. Our
support for hair stylists doesn't end here.
