Micro Point Link Extensions For Fine & Thinning Hair

Okay, you're live hello. Everyone thank you for joining us today. I'M jerry holt with international hair goods and we're here today to show you one of the only techniques of adding hair and volume to the top of someone's head. This is a perfect example of a client who wears hair extensions that you need to add additional volume or fullness along the part area all the way up to the very front. So i want to introduce our team today, i'm jerry holt, as i said already and jyn brooks hi. I'M our product and training manager, um and jessica, is here. She is our stylist and our wonderful model tabitha. So what we're doing today is we're adding four cyber hairs to one growth hair and, as she ties this on you're, going to notice that the knot is really really small and those of you out there who are doing hair extensions. Every method of hair extension will be larger than this, so it's very tough to find a method that will add volume and fullness to the top or to the part areas. This is a perfect solution for you to add to your menu. A lot of people. Ask about how do i find the clientele to do this? You'Ve got clients in your list already who are asking you for volume. Mousse cut my hair to be thicker, how? Why is my part area getting thinner? This is a perfect client to talk to about micropoint solutions. It'S our exclusive product made out of cyber hair. The durability color fastness is fantastic. Cyber hair is three to four times lighter than human hair, so we're able to add four hairs to one hair without damaging or causing undue stress on that hair. There is no pain or pulling on the hair and, as you watch jessica tie, these there's a specific method to learn how to tie these onto that one hair so and there's actually a little bit of a snap to it when she ties it and she's pulling Side to side and not causing any stress on the hair. So today, because you're watching our normal class is fifteen hundred dollars for the micropoint class, we have the entire class set up on virtual reality. So you're gon na go through about five chapters to learn about the client who needs it about the product itself, how it's made and how to sell it. Today, that is on special price for five hundred dollars out of the five hundred dollars you're going to have a kit, the kit's going to pertain to a mannequin to practice on sample links to practice with and you're going to learn how to add this to your Existing menu also later in the live shot today, we're going to be adding a second service and those are called accents and we'll get into those a little bit later and those are designed to be around the side or below the parietal ridge of the head. Micropoints are designed to be above the parietal wrench, which is very difficult to do with all the other extensions that are on the market jessica. Will you talk just a little bit about what you're adding there? Each of those links is four hairs and we're adding four hairs to one of tabitha's growing hairs correct. So her areas of concern is right down her part. In this background area. She gets like that normal natural swirl, so we're gon na turn. One single growing hair into a grouping of five um, so she gets additional volume, scalp coverage fullness and we're really gon na take care of that natural split that she gets in the back of her hair with filling it in with the micropoint hairs. So, overall for her in this one appointment, you would add about 600 hairs to her existing hair 600 additional hairs, and that would be about a two and a half to three hour service. Correct. Also, the other thing about the cyber hair. Is it's going to be heat resistant, so we're going to recommend that you can use styling tools up to 350 degrees? So it's very important for you to have your client who's going home to take care of this. She has a digital flat iron or curling iron. So it can handle up to 350 degrees, because the cyber hair is wrapped within the natural hair. The durability of it is great. Also it's not taking away any of your existing business as far as color color services can be applied right on it. Your color touch-ups - you can also highlight around it over it. The bleach will not affect the cyber hair itself. Cyber hair is a created fiber. It'S made out of nylon, it's lighter in weight than human hair, but it's very strong and durable as jerry mentioned. So it can handle that tension of adding it onto your client's hair, but it's light enough to not do any damage to their hair. It also picks up on that hair around it, so color matching which we'll go into in a little bit. You have a lot of options and it's a very versatile product to really blend in with your clients there, and when this service is done and they go home, they can treat this just like they do their own hair and a lot of times when we're teaching Our clients to learn how to do this. You really need to be a very detailed person as far as work - that's very small, so it's not for everyone who will be successful at it right away. It takes practice so you're going to take the virtual class you're going to practice and then you're going to meet with one of our people in the company that will actually do a zoom hands-on with you and watch you do this. It could be jessica, for instance, or someone else within the company, who will actually hold your hand on a real client in your salon and show you how to make the extra money and again your ideal client, for this is that client. You already have in your chair, maybe they're an extension client they're, just a regular cut and color client, but they have that thinning area. That area with hair loss that they're concerned about this is that small addition to them to focus on their area of concern, and we talked about tabitha's area, her part and her crown are her areas of concern. So that's where we're focusing the hair addition in this appointment, so in this technique, micropoints have has been around for quite a while. So it's been tested through hundreds and hundreds of clients throughout the united states. It'S a very successful process for clients who are looking for more volume or fullness and remember it's for the client, who's, 20 percent to thirty percent hair loss. And don't forget your guys in this it's great for men who are just starting to lose their hair around the crown area or throughout the top they're right there, and it's quite popular with the males question jessica, about color matching for tabitha as an example client. But for any of your client, our colors, our color ring, contains 27 colors um and again this this cyber hair has a a replicated cuticle that allows it to reflect light similar to human hair. So you have options for color um, but talk a little bit about what you can do from a variety of colors to use as subtle highlights or different color matching options that you have so for tabitha, specifically there's probably at least four colors that we offer that Could work for her, so it's not just one color. She has a lot of different tones. Some warm tones, some cool tones, so we have a lot of options for her. If she wanted to highlight low light, her hair alter coloration. Naturally, then, we could pre-plan for that and add in different colors as well to match those highlights or low lights. It is great for gray coverage. So when your hair starts to grow out, maybe you don't have time to get it colored. It will really break up the root um and the gray um, or sometimes people want more gray. It'S not often, but if they want more gray, we can add gray, i'm so from i'm sorry from her standpoint, we're adding these 600 hairs today as a typical client. She would come back in about four weeks right. This is going to give her added coverage today, but as it grows away from the scalp she'll, come back for maintenance have more hair added. So we continue to add that hair at the root to provide the most coverage of her scalp as possible correct. So it's just. It continues to build on itself at every visit. So you continue to get more hair, more volume, more coverage, and then we constantly replenish that coverage um and then also it we can expand out to certain areas. So if today we're focusing in the crown when she comes back, we can focus down the part and you can kind of build off of that. Where does she need hair today, um? Maybe her area of concern changes? Maybe she really loves how we filled in the part, and now she wants more hair elsewhere, so it's very custom to suit your clients as needed. What is their preference? What are they looking for and then also how quickly or slowly their hair grows? So the goal is to have the micro points at the base of the scalp and it's going to grow out, naturally with the hair and also remember that cyber hair has more body or stiffness to it, because it's a created fiber. So it's going to support that. Fine hair and give it lift without a lot of product. Literally the preparation for this is a couple shampoos of clarifying. You want to make sure the client's scalp is oil, free, 100 percent, no residues of mousses or gels for the day of the application, and she can follow up with products that she normally uses to blow dry her hair, as long as the oils are not on The scalp area and important to know too again it's a safe cosmetic surface. This doesn't damage your clients hair. This lightweight fiber that we're adding is not going to do any damage to your clients there. There are no blues or adhesives used in this. So, for that fine, thin hair that we're working with the the quality and care of their existing hair is part of this. It'S a very easy service to add to your existing salon. It doesn't require a really private area, as some hair replacements would need. So it can be done right out in the salon. You need to have a chair. That goes back. That allows for comfort ergonomics for the the lay back of your own position and, as you notice, jessica's sitting in a chair, her elbows are really down to her side and her eye contact is right. There there's a ring light to create a lot of brightness to it and when you do this in the middle of the salon, you're going to have referrals or questions that occur, all the clients who are seeing this and again, i think this is a great alternative Or a great add-on for your existing extension clients, those extension clients where you have trouble just in the top of their head, we need a little bit more hair added on top to help. You conceal those extensions and connection points near the back right now. Jess is pulling up and showing you what she's added there. So those are all of those hairs she just added in in the last few minutes and as we continue to go on she's, going to make a new parting and just keep working in this small, concentrated area to make sure where she's adding these hairs is concentrated To really give that full the full volume that we can add, so it's really important when you're watching jessica do this she's pulling one growth here at a time you don't want to pull more than one hair at a time because you're going to create a loop Out of it and the length then will be caught on with a comb and that's not great as far as the knot goes, i mean, if i touch this excuse me. If i touch this, it is real. It feels like a little grain of sand. It'S how i would describe it so it's it's not some! It'S very discreet compared to extensions tape, ends uh the keratin keratin extensions and those that type of stuff. We had a question about heat styling, so we talked a little bit more about that um. What we're suggesting for the client to do from a hair care standpoint at home, our magic number for heat is 350 degrees, so we'd like to have tools that can be regulated to keep it around 350 um and under the fiber will react well to that anything Else to add to that jess uh, you may just want to do a quick, styling lesson a lot of times. Our clients want to be fast, so they take large partings and high heat. They can still achieve the exact same style. Exact same look with small sections. In low heat so running through exactly how they can use their hot tool to protect, the cyber hair could be beneficial for you as well. Absolutely and remember this. Yes, this is a created fiber, but it's so finely intermixed and blended in with the client's own hair. The oils from their scalp their hair around it, is going to help protect that, so they can treat it as they do their own hair. They can style it. They should be able to work with this just like they do their own hair at home. They'Re. Just going to have more so remember today are normal class fees or hundred dollars for this and because you're on btc we are making a deal for you. You are now able to purchase this for five hundred dollars and that nearly covers the cost of the kit. So you can easily get trained, learn a new service to add to your existing salon business and make that money back really quickly. Another thing i would add to the home care is this: typical client who has hair loss really should not be adding a lot of heat to her hair in general. So, as jess said you want to you want to train them, you want to teach them to care, for this. They'Ve invested money in this and time, so you want them to care for it and be gentle to it and again. Your ideal client is that person in the early stages of hair loss with 20 to 30 percent thinning, either overall or in certain areas, and we just want to add that add this hair in those areas to give them that fullness and volume that they're missing so And those of you who don't know us international hair goods we've been around a very long time we're not a company that is going to disappear on you. We have customer service as far as hand-holding, for you to learn this process and for you to actually have a real customer in your chair and have a zoom meeting is amazing that it's a one-on-one training uh. We will talk about the product. We will not talk about pricing to your customer uh, it's a it's a great, it's a great comfort factor. We just had a great question from a student who's going to graduate in april. Congratulations and your question was: are you able to do this now or would you have to wait until you are officially licensed? Let'S have that conversation afterward um. We are a wholesale business. So, in order to to work with us, we do require a cosmetology license and um a salon. Business license to make sure this is being done in a licensed salon um. But we are happy to chat with you and and get you proactively learning and things before you're ready to to add this to to your salon. So we'd love to have that conversation with you, um and and figure out what we can do to work best with you. A lot of stylists who are really successful at this right away are those stylists who are doing eyelash extensions or eyelash additions, because they're already working with really small detailed amounts of hair or work. So they pick it up very quickly and take off with it very fast. I want to go over a little bit about cutting, because you're going to need to finish this a little bit to blend it in you. Never ever want to use a razor on cyber hair. The cyber fiber is a creative fiber. It'S going to get frizzy from a razor, so you want to point cut this or use a thinning shear in a point cut method, so you just want to pull it up and just gently blend it into her haircut. You'Ve already done, you sometimes don't even have to cut them like for for tabitha. It'S going to blend really, naturally into her shortest layer, so you may not even have to cut them all the time and she can rebook um. You know she could come back in next week and get additional hair put in. So it's literally like a gin said earlier: it's adding per session and the amount of hair - and maybe the client only has an hour today and maybe next week she has another hour. So this is a continual replacement process. The micropoint will not fall out. It will grow out some of the hair that you're tying to is already programmed to shed so that can occur, but the micropoint itself will hold on to the hair. You tried it too. Absolutely. There'S a great question about: is there any situation that this process isn't recommended for fantastic question and certainly something we dive much deeper in during the certification? But there are absolutely some some general situations where that isn't jess any of them that you want to touch on right away. Um, healthy, hair, you're dealing with one single strand, so healthy hair is really important. We don't want to cause breakage or damage the member's own hair, um, keeping in mind that oftentimes somebody with a hair, thinning issue. The hair is miniaturizing, so sometimes those hairs aren't strong enough, so really learning how to choose the correct hair, for example, the hair that i was just tying to it didn't pop it naturally shed so very seamlessly, as i was tying it, it just naturally shed. So this is probably one of those hairs that was ready to shed um, and those are some conversations. You'Ll want to have with your your clients to make sure that they're prepared that micropoint doesn't stop hair loss or shedding. So that is a normal thing to occur. That way, they're not like panicking if they lose some of the micro points. Absolutely and a follow-up to that comment is exactly where i was going to go with this and said what about fragile, post, chemotherapy, hair and baby regrowth? It'S a super great question. Um from the regrowth standpoint, as long as their hair is strong enough and part of that consultation, part of qualifying them as a client is to make sure that their hair is strong enough to support the added hair that we're adding on to. As long as we are past, the the shedding stages of that and their hair grows in, it's not that first hair, probably growing back in those stages, but a few months down the road as it continues to grow in you'll, see it get to that point where It is coming in a little bit thicker and a little bit stronger. So when you get started with this business after you're trained and you get ready to take off in it, you want to be prepared to have some links in your salon and i'm speaking to maybe tabitha in my chair, and she asked questions about it. I'M going to have time to actually tie a few links in her hair right there for free, that's going to give her a little bit of a chance to try these out. It'S going to take you about 10 minutes. Maybe to do this at the end of her service and let her give it a give it a go. Absolutely another question jess this one, for you is this good for curly, coily hair. You can do it on textured hair with curl the really cool thing about the micro point and the cyber hair is it's going to mirror and mimic the the client's own existing growing hair? So if she had some natural waves, some natural curl, we do recommend that you apply the micro point to the hair straight and then, after that, first shampoo as the hair, naturally curls and coils. The micro point will naturally intertwine with that curl itself. Absolutely and part of our certification and kind of how how we work with everything is. This is we're very hands-on and doing whatever we can to help you so from a client standpoint, whoever you have, if you have a photo of your client that you want to see we're happy to help you we're happy to do a zoom consultation with you to Help talk to these people to make sure you're best prepared to choose the right solution for them and the next question to follow it up. Does it come in curly textures? Currently, it is in just this curl and, like just said, that's going to follow along with a pretty tight wave when we get really curly beyond. That is where we seem to have limitations, and we are working on a solution for that to come soon. So for an actual tube, i just want to show you how this actually looks because it's difficult to understand our camera. So it comes loaded already we're going to pull out the loop is on the end, we're going to pull this out and, as you notice, everything is already pre-tied. So literally, we're going to pull this out right and you want to not touch this too much so everything's already pre-tied. So when she slides this one link off, it's already has a loop on it, so that would come off into there and it's a loop and all you have to do is tie it like a shoelace right. The other thing about cyber hair is it's water friendly. So when she wets her hair down, this is actually going to become fluid like wet hair. It will respond to water and that's so. It'S not the typical synthetic okay. Another question or comment um talking about putting stress on a bald spot over time. The person will lose every strand of hair in that spot again, we want to go back to the actual fiber of this. That'S why this product works as it is. Cyber hair is lighter in weight than human hair than any other synthetic fiber. We'Re making sure we qualify this client to to be absolutely certain that adding these hairs will not put any stress on their hair. You'Ll know that in a consultation and you'll know that when you do test strands to make sure that it is safe, the the absolute most important thing is we're not doing any damage to their hair. If jess had tied these in and more than that, one hair that came out that again, like she said, was, was going to fall out probably tomorrow anyway, you would know that and we'd pause the service at that point again, a big part of our certification. The discussions around that is making sure we're qualifying these clients that we're this is the proper service for them and that they are a truly good candidate, um jess. How would you answer the question about a female who's using rogaine for thickening their hair? Are they okay with using micropoints? They can absolutely use micropoint if they are just beginning to utilize a topical um, hair, regrowth agent. It does cause your hair to go through a shedding cycle, so you would want to wait at least two to three months and then start your micro point service, because that shedding process will have ended at that point right. So it's like, i said earlier, is doing a few test strands on a client that you are not sure about the strength of their hair. Do some test strands see how it does put five or six in there and let the client and yourself figure out, if they're, here strong enough to go through that it's the same decision on a client coming in that wants to be super white blonde, and you Just know that it's not the right choice, their hair can't hold up; they can't handle it, that's a no. So it really is that education and understanding the strength of the hair, shaft itself or the follicle absolutely another great question: what about hair, color options and root? Retouch processing, you can absolutely color the hair um, because color and developer does open the cuticle. It causes the hair to swell you're going to want to do your color process first and then do your hair application second or your micropoint application. Second, when you get the hair back to the regular state, the cuticle closed and not swelled anymore, the issue would be if you apply the micropoint to the swelled cuticle, it's going to tighten to the that state of the hair shaft. So when the hair shaft goes back to the normal, healthy, regular state, the micropoint could then shed. So it's really important that you do color process first micro point second, so the other client that this is great for as more of a cosmetic application, is a client who may have dark hair that wants to have a super light. Ultra blonde uh chunk of hair in the front, this can easily be applied in this front section to drop down its color. That'S not going to be processed and just keep all your your links right in a concentrated area, sort of like a chunk of highlight in the front, so it gets you out of the chemical process and it's way easier. Now that's talking about someone who has strong hair who just wants a color change, so i want to talk a little bit about the certification again. The discount for the certification today for the behind the chair is 500. Normally it's 1500. That includes all of our virtual education, so that talks through the client consultation full protocol for you to set up your salon to be successful. Talking about who your clients are the business side behind that the marketing behind that and then also includes a zoom with one of our trainers to go through the hands-on process to help you troubleshoot and help you become successful in in offering this and the actual application. And again we're talking about this right now we would add 600 hairs to tabitha's area of concern, we're focusing that to make sure that we are concentrating that hair in that area. So when she goes home, she looks in the mirror that spot that her eyes are naturally drawn to is where she notices that major difference. Let'S talk a little bit about color and color matching again, we've got 27 colors available because of how finely these are intermixing. With our client's hair, you have a lot a lot of options and we'll let just kind of walk through what she chose and why she chose the color that she did for tabitha all right. So for tabitha, the really thick. The really important thing to understand when you're doing the color matching is it's not your typical color match up. So if you were to place your swatch directly over top of this hair, we would say this is probably too warm for her. It'S too much. This is not the color we would choose, but when you're matching it up, if you take the swatch away and you just match up just like, we would be incorporating the four additional hairs. That'S all you really need to see, and then that color, even though it was really warm blends, really well into her own natural hair, so there's multiple colors that you could choose um. I chose i-25 for tabitha. Let me get to it, but if you just match up the little bit that we just did so even the i-25 that i chose still looks a little bit warm for her. But when you take just this little bit, it's not the same as matching up hair, color or hair systems, or anything like that. It'S really just about getting that hair to disappear right into her own natural hair, so taking way less hair out of that swatch to really intertwine into her own natural hair disappears and blends right into her own hair. So jess, sometimes you use multiple colors to create a high and low effect, correct, correct great they look beautiful next question is: what would you charge and how do you figure out pricing great great question, not something we're going to address in detail here, because we're on A public forum but we'd love to have that conversation with you. It'S also part of our certification and part of the conversation that we have together in how this fits your market, who your client is a big part of our certification, is talking to you about how to position this and how to price it, and you guys um. This is not a brand new technique. This did not come out last month or last year. There are thousands of clients in the us and throughout the world who are wearing this product this process, so it is a guaranteed process after you learn how to apply it. How to lock those down correctly, so this is not brand new. It'S been around. It'S established. It'S historically proven to work another great question about in-person training. If it's available, yes, absolutely we're working on solidifying dates for the rest of this year. Um in-person dates that we can absolutely we'd love to have you in person and we're thankful that we're getting back to uh getting back to a place where that's going to be an option. So we would love to keep in touch about that and happy to see. You so also remember that our suggestion we have different tubes, so we have tubes that will have two pieces of cyber hair on it. So two four and six and right now the blue tube is four pieces to one hair, we're adding four hairs. We also have two for those thin areas, those part areas that are really really visible. We need a little bit smaller, not or a little bit lighter weight being added again something we absolutely go through in that certification and determining which is the best choice, which is the best solution for your particular client. And we want to make sure also i'm going to let jess keep going on this little area she's in right now, but there's a second option and second solution in our microphone solutions called accents. They'Re tiny little extensions that are used more for the sides in the back so again, right now, micropoint links are used for the top of the head. The accents are designed to give fullness and volume around the sides and the back of that client's head. So, in a few minutes, as soon as we finish this little area, we want to show you those as well again it's that cyber hair fiber. It'S super lightweight, it's great for your extension clients for those areas that maybe can't support a heavier extension can't conceal the connection of a heavier extension just need something to give them a little bit of fullness and volume and when you're learning how to do this um, We advise you it's great. A great little tip is take a grease, a grease, pencil or grease marker and actually go ahead and mark out the area you're gon na concentrate on so we always say a three inch by three inch or a softball size. So you can figure out where you're going and when you pull that tube out of there. Those are already lined up really for the bricklay, and you want to place these in a diagonal manner. You can see jessica's coming a little bit diagonal from her part area. So it's just like highlight placement, so you want to place those so that they blend and they fill out yeah another great question again about hair textures, curly or wavy options. Again this will work with a lot a lot of curl options. It will follow, along with the client's hair and we're working on a solution for the really really curly hair that that this isn't that for so again, we're happy to take that conversation a little bit further and look at some. Some actual client photos to talk about where it does and doesn't work. It works for most clients and we are bringing in a solution soon to work for those very curly clients. So this is a brand new service that you can offer right away after you're certified to do this. You can go right to the salon and start offering this to your existing clientele. You don't need to run giant advertisements to find people there literally are people in your store right now? Who would you you would talk to about this right away and i would go right through my menu and say who's buying the most volume shampoo and volume mousses. Those are the people i would approach first to start selling this product too. Great question in here is a thousand dollars us dollars. Yes, it absolutely is, but just want to note again that the certification is discounted for this promotion for 500 us dollars. I think everyone can see that the ticker running across the bottom of your screen there, but the the promo code for that certification is mp solution and that will get you the certification in the kit of materials for 500.. So back to something we talked about earlier. There'S no adhesive, there's no damage to the the follicle itself, there's a tiny bit of wax, so it's a wax material made at the factory. When you tie that down. That'S where the link, the top the knot, holds itself good question: what does long-term maintenance look like the awesome thing about the micropoints is: there's there's very little maintenance like it's your day-to-day regular routine. The main thing you would really want to educate your clients on is how much oil they're producing and how often they shampoo. So you don't want anything that could cause the lynx to prematurely slip or slide out of the hair. So your natural sebum oil can cause that, so you may want to just educate them on how much oil they are producing. How often they shampoo. If somebody is more oily, they would just want to shampoo a little more often to keep that oil off the base. But really the maintenance. As long as we tie to one single strand, there really is no long-term maintenance. Absolutely and in case that question was was kind of geared toward as a stylist and adding more hair. Can you speak from that perspective too? The bricklay pattern is going to be your your main focus uh, because oftentimes your clients are going to want to have hair reapplied in the same area over and over and over again um. So you don't want to run out of hair that you're tying to so. The bricklay pattern allows you to give maximum coverage maximum fullness maximum density, because you can fill in the areas that you created last month, perfect and then the next question is about growing out, which is a great question. Yes, the knot does grow out because it's attached to that one, individual hair. As that hair grows, the knot will grow away from the scalp, so they are not removed. They will shed when the hair they're attached to is programmed to fall out when they grow far enough down that hair shaft, that they slide out. But again, that's months down the road and our reason for bringing this client in for about every four weeks service. To have more hair added, as just said, to fill in those areas as your existing links grow away from the scalp, so they are not removed. They grow out. Naturally, so micro point is made by cyber hair and it's an exclusive product to our company. So it's made actually in one of our factories you're not going to find us anywhere else in the world or manufactured by anyone else. We are the exclusive distributor for this service yeah and a quick question here just want to clarify for everyone. I know that the the text going through is listing the original price at a thousand dollars discounted to 500. It is normally 1500 so that question. Thank you for bringing that up online. The regular price is listed at 1500. The promotion for this event is 500.. So let's go back over the chair, those of you who don't have like. If you have a facial chair it can be used. You need a chair that tilts back and very comfortable for the client. You can see that she has a neck pillow like an airline. Pillow under her neck, the client should be very calm and very quiet so that she doesn't move her head. The same thing for you, you should be positioned very much like jess is on a a nice chair. That'S comfortable bright lighting, um and she's, not hunched over her arms are not raised up. She can sit and do this for the period of time, that's necessary to get these in this. Having your elbows down is a really really key factor in the success of this so um. If you've ever heard of threading like threading your eyebrows, if your elbows go up, you will pull the hair out. So that's really the only way that you would damage the client's own hair. So if you can focus on elbows down and eye level to where, where your client is then you'll definitely be successful with applying the hair. So should we start talking about accents, possibly so again, these are our micropoint links. They'Re meant for the top of the head for people with fine thin hair to fill in those thinning areas, jessica's adding four hairs to one of tabitha's own growing hairs in that area. I'M going to show you what she's added there so far, so the area that i focused on today was right down this part right here and in her crown right here. So we have added about 400. It wasn't even the 600, but it was created, started right here where her crown splits. You can see the little knots now after she shampoos for the first time the hair is going to separate and remove the seal that jerry was talking about and all of these little swirly dots are going to disappear. But this is the area that we focused on right here and it has given her already a crazy amount of additional volume and scalp coverage just right here and that's because the cyber hair is stiffer and has more body to it than her natural hair. So it doesn't take a lot to fill that out and that's without any any enhanced blowout or flat irons uh. You know rollers and all that stuff such stuff. So we said 350 degrees is our magic number uh. As far make sure your client is a digital iron, make sure that she's taking care of it as far as heat goes, we want to get into accents, so let's show an accent because we're going to run out of time. Okay, let's show what those are okay, so you don't need the neck pillow for the accents. I already have a couple accents in tab with this hair, so the accents are really great for the perimeter area. Somebody with breakage, maybe around the face frame where you want to create length if there's gaps right here and that happens to a lot of people when they're experiencing hair loss or breakage. So the accents are an additional 100 strands of hair. But it's really awesome for somebody with fine or thin hair, because there's not a lot of weight. It makes a big difference without having to do very much so you can really make these custom to each client. There'S one right here right here and right here and it's additional hair 100 hairs in those three areas so where she has these little baby fine hairs right here. We would never put extensions on those baby fine hairs, because they're too weak to hold an extension but they're not too weak to hold an accent. So preparation will be the same as micropoint clarify before the service. Yes, correct, no conditioner, nothing that would act as a lubricant you're going to do the bricklay pattern again as well and you're going to make this custom to your client's, finer, thin area so for tabitha. She was significantly thinner just right here, um. So since this was the first time i had worked on her, we can go down just a little bit. You can see through the scalp right here and we're going to go ahead and add right in between where the other ones are we're going to add one right here right here and right here, really good question: do they come in different lengths? The accents do they come in a 10 inch length and an 18 inch length, but again we want to make sure we know these are meant to add fullness and volume, not to add length. Your other extension options are where you're going to add length. These are to fill in that fullness and volume, but they are available in 10 inch and 18 inch hair length. I know this question wasn't asked yet, but maintenance for the accents is a little bit different. We'Re not applying these to one single strand of hair, we're applying these to between 15 and 20.. So teaching and educating your client on how to brush correctly without getting stuck or pulling is really going to be. The main at-home maintenance is the correct method of how to brush so jess already has her accent pre-loaded on her threader. Each of those accents has 100 hairs tied around a sterling silver bead. I think it's important to note that that hair comes to you already wrapped around that bead. You don't need to do any of that she's going to use her hook to pick up about 15 of tabitha's hairs and add 100 hairs to that small grouping of tabitha's hair. So the focus is her own hair right here. The accents are held out of the way, so my focus is just these hairs now. The only thing that could give you trouble is, if you have too many hairs, you might have trouble looping it through the 15 20 hairs are really really the sweet spot. For this to be successful, so if this were to get stuck, oh pull through perfectly i'm already at the base, so i'm able to just go ahead and clamp. I don't have to pull the accent farther up of her hair shaft, because i'm already right, where i want to be the really awesome thing about the accents is because it's a cylinder shape. This can twist pull turn and it's not going to damage your own hair. The way some weft extensions would you can't pull twist back forward up down. These are very versatile and mobile, so you can pull it so a client can pull this up on her top of her head. If she'd like to wear her hair back or up right. Yes, absolutely and it's not going to be uncomfortable, it's not going to fall um, it's actually really comfortable. I'M obsessed um question about removal for these and time frame with that. Obviously, we talked differently with the links for accents. Your client should come back about how often to have these removed and replaced it's it's really. A similar time frame between four to six weeks, like my hair, grows, really slow, so the last time jerry put some in for me, they stayed in for eight weeks, and that was awesome, but they were starting to um, be a little bit lower down the hair. Shaft, so the maintenance is really important. I would say the four week mark to six week mark is your sweet spot for that yeah and i think the really important thing you just said there is. This varies client to client right many people, their hair grows at different rates, so if their hair is growing slower and they don't need to have them replace that frequently again same as with the links are the the integrity of the client's own growing hair is our Concern here, so we want to make sure that we're adding these and removing them and replacing them soon enough. So it's not putting any unnecessary stress on the client's own hair and then to remove them. You use the same tool that you're using to clamp, yeah and again part of that part of the certification and the education. Um provides you with not only the hands-on training going through that, but videos to reference as well before and after your hands-on piece. Um talk a little bit about placement just i know you talked placement but number of accents and how many you would use on a typical client. I know that's going to vary, but we'll talk about tabitha. Specifically, it is going to vary so tabitha parts, her hair. The same all the time we had a little bit of a technical consultation before we started today. She always wears her hair parted. The same so my main focus for her is to create that fullness on this side, because since she parts over here, she already has the fullness over here uh for her, i would say, with the three right here doing, an additional three, probably three more right here. You'Re going to customize this to suit, where your client's thinning pattern is, it is going to be different for everybody. Um and you'll do the bricklay pattern and if you want to add more add more, it's really her preference as well. Not everybody wants a crazy amount of additional hair; they want a really realistic, look um. So that's really just going to be all about your technical consultation and what that client is looking for as well. The wax pencil that jerry's talking about to create marks. You can also do that with this service too, to keep yourself typically, i would make markings know exactly where i'm going to place the hair keep me on track. I can do it faster and really be successful with time and efficiency as well. So how close can you get the accents to the hairline? It depends if she never wears her hair up always down. You can get pretty close to the hairline as long as there's enough hair to cover. I typically like to leave about a half an inch to an inch that way if she wanted to pull her hair back. You wouldn't see the accent. It'S the same thing with accents: we want to be careful with cutting no razors, you want a point cut and, as jess said earlier, they're going to really blend in to our model, tabitha they're going to blend in so anything that's hanging over or not blended, and Just catch it point cut it with a sharp pair of shears. Cyber hair is very, very strong. It'S a nylon base man-made product, so you need to have a very sharp, pure shears and or thinning shear to just point cut and blend out the end of it. So you can see how much coverage she has when we started about four minutes ago. You saw a lot of her scalp, so this really gives her a lot of coverage thickness, fullness um in a very short time question was: can they be reused? They are not reused, we're going to remove these and replace them. The the bead that's used in these is a small sterling silver bead, more often than not is not going to re-crimp well, so we do remove them and then replace them, and then there was a question about what, if you're thinning in the front, how do you Approach that again, we'll go back this entire microphone solutions involves two products, one of those being our micropoint links that we're tying in the top of the head and right now we're looking at the accents for the sides and the back. So you have someone on the front here on their front. Hairline is thinning. Those micropoint links are going to be your chosen solution and again qualifying that client to make sure they have enough hair to tie to and that they are a good candidate. So for uh certification, usually our prices are fifteen hundred dollars for the class, and it involves a virtual class of about five chapters that you're gon na study and take some tests. As you go through those chapters today, because you're on btc you're going to get this class for 500., it's an amazing value to add a brand new service to your clients, to add income to your business on an annual basis. You'Re going to be able to continue to color. Do your root touch-ups. Do your highlights nothing's going to change as far as your clients cycles? Remember that with micropoint you can go ahead and do some test samples really easily right there at the end of the service to let that client decide if it's going to work and it'll be a test to see if her hair is strong enough to hold the Micropoint, including the accents, you could even put an accent in a client to test just to see if they like it so today, oh, my god excited sorry, oh you got excited um. This is also a really great way to add a pop of color yeah. So if you want to add different colors in here and have like the peekaboo color, there are also like the brighter vibrant colors. Sometimes people like those pops of color as well. So i get excited so all that um altering the color without chemical. It'S a fantastic option for someone who may change their mind. Maybe it's for a wedding. Maybe it's for a party. Maybe it's a client who doesn't have hair loss who just wants a pop of color. So it's going to work for all of your clientele, especially those clients with 20 to 30 hair loss who are looking for more hair along their part. Areas are in the crown to add volume all right, so we just added how many accents on the side. Three: six: seven seven accents on this side just to fill in on that side or so 700 total hairs and then want to take you back to what we did first for anyone that just joined us first for our microphone links where we're adding hair to the Top of the head, adding four hairs to one of tabitha's existing hair and accents are not designed for the top of the head, so you need to stay at the parietal ridge or below. So micro point is for the top of the head. The crown accents are going to be the parietal ridge down to add 100 hairs per cylinder. So again, these are for your clients with fine, thin hair that are just looking to add fullness to add volume. We tried to make sure we got to all of your questions.
