hey pros crystal here from elite hair
care usa so today we are here with my
client who as we can tell has some
thinning and balding in the crown area
and decided that she wanted an alopecia
weaving service
so we are actually going to color her
hair which she is 100 gray
and we're going to be installing the
extensions in the crown
so to get her prepared i went ahead and
cut down her sides and her back
she has a beautiful head of gray hair
but she also decided that it was time
for her to color her hair
so we decided to do
um a brown slash black color
now because she is 100 gray i did have
to add a little bit of red to that color
just to diminish the um
issue of her fading or her hair growing
out and it turning green
if you know anything about color which
i've been trying to teach you guys about
color whenever you're doing from 100
gray to black there typically is
pigments that are missing in between
which in her case that pigment would be
red or orange so that's another reason
why i added a couple drops of red to the
color
to
and kind of give myself insurance and
her insurance that she would not have
green hair over time
so now i'm just going through and
finishing out the haircut in the sides
and back of the head
and then we're gonna prepare her crown
for the weaving or extension portion of
the service
now if you're new to my channel don't
forget to hit that subscribe button also
don't forget to share this video with
your friends and family
and don't forget to comment down below
of your thoughts
of today's style so here's a little
trivia slash review question for you
guys for all of my elite haircare pros
if i did a relaxer on her today and we
decided to add color which is what we
did
is it okay for me to use a demi or a
semi-permanent color on the day that i
did the relaxer comment down below and
give me a response
and then of course later on i'll go
ahead and answer that question
and tell whoever everybody who's right
and who's wrong
not necessarily picking you out but just
giving you the right or wrong answer
okay
so now we are finished with the cut
which i like to do my cuts when the hair
is wet versus dry
that's really the best way to do it and
now we're going to start protecting that
crown area
so i always do as i say in all of my
videos about three to four levels of
protection in her case she's going to
get four levels of protection because
she also perspires a lot
now with perspiration and
any form of
silicone or latex or anything that
you're using
you do want to keep in mind that
perspiration it this is not perspiration
proof okay
so how i keep it or make it somewhat
perspiration proof for the extension
portion of the service
the last level of protection that i put
over her hair which is going to be a
netted material
that is going to help with the
perspiration issue and allowing those
tracks to lay a little bit longer now i
don't recommend keeping this service or
this style over three to four weeks that
is the longest that i would say most of
my clients usually get to about three
weeks some get to four weeks and then we
do this again in her case she is coming
from another state so we discussed her
coming at least every four to five weeks
and in between that time she can rinse
it out herself
and then you know be able to either wear
her wigs
or you know do something different
now we did add a little bit of color to
her hair
just a word to the wise you guys
because she was coming from another
state we didn't have the hair color that
would potentially be the best for her
which would have been a number two we
only had a one bead to work with so
there was a slight color difference
between her hair and the extensions it
blended just fine that's not really an
issue but going forward we know that
we're gonna use um a slightly browner
color for her
but at the same time we made it work so
everything was good
all right so her extensions are
installed i did do her haircut as well
which
the video was kind of long you guys so i
had to cut down the time on the haircut
portion of it
but i also
used a new method of track placement
that i learned
during a training course that i did so
this that i'm so kind of glad that i
said that guys even as
a hair care professional as a
manufacturer and distributor of hair
product as an international educator
okay
as a cosmetologist for over 20 years
i still take actual classes to enhance
or better my skill
there is never a time when you can stop
learning so if you think that you don't
have to learn anything new you are in
for a rude awakening i am still taking
classes i still invest in myself because
i see that as an investment in my
business
so by taking classes i'm able to enhance
my skill and also update my skill to
bring you guys new and fresh ideas
especially when i'm dealing with clients
who have alopecia you don't want to
become one track when it comes on to
styling and cutting or even track
placement
um
it's just so many different things that
you can learn or update or better and
that's exactly what i do and that's what
i did okay so i wanted to say that for
my stylist or cosmetologist out there or
even my aspiring stylist or
cosmetologist
you never say that you're you are
complacent with where you are don't get
comfortable make sure you're
continuously learning you're always
learning new things you're always
training yourself even if you're just
watching youtube videos to keep learning
things
use that to your advantage because if
not you're gonna become burnt out and
outdated
okay
all right
so i started i always start from the
right above the occipital bone slash the
nape or in between the occipital bone
and the crown whenever i'm doing my
curling
um
another thing that i would want to point
out here is for my alopecia clients the
reason why i like to give them
short styles is not by
just choice okay there's a method to
this madness
if i'm doing a style on a client who has
never worn their hair out before
they have alopecia
and they want to start wearing their
hair for the majority of the style and
covering the area where they have
their self-consciousness or their
alopecia which i don't really know of
anyone that wants to walk around and
showcase a balding or thinning area i've
yet to see that unless they are just
going to be completely bald right
the purpose of this
is to give them a style that they can
manage
okay this is all about manageability and
also making them comfortable
i don't want to give them a style that
they would not be able to handle if i
was not available to do their hair
so that's another reason why i like to
give them
short styles that's one part of it but
the second part of it is when you are
trying to blend
a hairstyle for a client
if you leave them the way that they came
in respect to length
they are not going to feel like they
need to do anything to care for their
hair
right
because you left them the way that they
started and they were already not caring
for their hair
so i try to take them slightly
out of their comfort zone why because
they are going to be more
um in
enticed
or even encouraged to want to take care
of their hair and watch that process of
it growing out watch the process of it
evolving from where they started and
they were already dampered down
to going into a place where they say you
know what
i can do this
now if i can handle it while it's short
i can definitely handle it when it gets
longer
so that's what i want you guys to start
thinking i don't want you guys to be so
focused on the fact that we are doing a
haircut
because guess what they were doing
nothing to their hair even before the
haircut
so the goal is to start getting them
more
in love with their hair again to see
that they can still have a style even in
the midst of them having alopecia they
can still actually do things with their
hair look sporty look spunky regain
their confidence again and also feel
super super happy about the fact that
they have enough hair to incorporate
into a style
okay so that's something that i
definitely think that it is time to
start maturing in regards to our mindset
and start thinking outside of the box
and stop staying in that one dimension
of oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh it's
the length the length the length the
length and the length
they had length and they were still
balding and had alopecia so guess what
they weren't doing anything at that
point so let's get them to a place where
they will start loving their hair again
and giving them a boost of confidence i
get so sick and tired of seeing those
comments in the comment section of
people who really have no idea what
these clients are going through and how
they feel when they come into my salon
okay i can tell you at least 75 of the
conversations that i have during
consultation start out with girl you are
in for a surprise because this hair is
jacked up
and then later on when they see that
their hair is really not jacked up and
we can actually do something with it
they are so happy they're elated okay
they really have no
no way of expressing the amount of
emotion that they have other than tears
or smiles so let's just keep them
encouraged that is the goal of all of us
to each one teach one and raise each
other up so please
keep your comments to yourself if
they're not good ones
alright so we are done with the style um
i just wanted to put that little
friendly reminder in there for you guys
because everybody seems to get a little
sidetracked here
and now we're just kind of combing her
out and basically it's she's done okay
she's super done and it was so cute
it was super cute on her and she loved
it i loved it so i want you guys don't
forget to comment the answer to the
trivia question
right and then also don't forget to
comment and tell us what you thought
about the finished style don't forget to
subscribe to my channel and also share
this video with your friends and family
i appreciate you guys for watching and
have an amazing day
peace
you

Candace Simpkins: Looks great. Fantastic job!
Cassandra Fine: Thank you Crystal, for your time and talent. It is so unfortunate that many women, myself included, are suffering from various forms of alopecia. We may struggle daily as there is always a decision on how to wear our hair, but we will continue to persevere on and wear that wig, put on extensions, color the grey, et al. I wish I could find a person knowledgeable on this process in Northern California, but until then I'll keep "faking it until I make it" by wearing my hairpieces and being fabulous as ever!
Angelia Baker: I love what you did to her hair. She is beautiful. I hope she enjoys her new look.
Cant Hide👀: Only use a semi permanent color with a same day relaxer because it doesn't lift the natural color. It is a deposit only color that sits on top of the hair.
julius dixon: Demi permanent color on her. Her hair looks amazing and fabulous you did a great job as usual
kiesha Jones: You're truly an awesome hairstylist! She's beautiful and love the hair style!
Claudette Payton: Alopecia suddenly came into my life when I left the perms alone and wanted to go natural my hair came back in at the thick and nice length I had back in the day just as I was thinking about having it dyed this pretty burgundy color little circle bald spots then diagnosed with alopecia areata boy I tell you have to stay strong not to go into a depressed mode I started getting the steroid shot’s but u have to keep them up just like rogaine unfortunately
Terry Galimore-bivens: Absolutely love it.....I wish I lived near I would love to have my hair done I too suffer from scarring alopecia and now just wear my head bald....you do such a great job with your clients
preese100: Hello lady! Recently I received a relaxer and color at the salon and my hair was mostly gray and she used demi color. Therefore, I will answer "demi ". May I add you are a very creative and knowledgeable stylist.
Ashley Holley: Wonderful talk through and wonderful, wonderful hair style!
Kim Tyler: That looks so nice you did a good job
Michele Bradley: You never cease to amaze me❣️ You're truly GIFTED. You're always striving to do/be better & that speaks to your heart. It seems that many women suffering w/Alopecia have soft, fine hair(Myself included). Is that what you've found to be true also?
Frederick Gayla: Hello Crystal and thank you. Although this is my first time to comment.... I've often viewed your videos and appreciate you for using the gift that God has given you to help others like myself who might not know what to do or where to turn with issues such as thinning hair or alopecia or in my case hair loss due to Discord Lupus. Thank you for caring and All that you do....Be Blessed....
Marjorjorie Tillman: Crystal, THANK YOU for sharing about the pain women go through, after loosing their hair from alopecia or any other cause. And how we can lift up each other, and not hurt each other. The brothers hasn’t shown empathy, when joking about our hair. And sometimes we laugh, but secretly it hurts! And I wish some sisters wouldn’t walk up without knowing you and ask, is that your hair. That’s bad etiquette and bad home-training. So thank you for sharing your wisdom!!
Cocobutter69: Hi Crystal, love the hair cut. She looks fabulous.
Donnie Lindon: Beautiful job crystal stay safe y'all and healthy.
Sally Smith: She looks adorable in that style! Hope all your clients trust you, because you know what you're doing!
Diane Thomas: Beautiful hair style. After relaxing hair you can use semi permanent color right after. I am new to your channel and I am dealing with thinning in my crown. I'm glad you put up this video today. I am a retired Hair stylist and have become so uncomfortable with trying different things on my hair. I am now thinking I might try some tracks. I wish you would have shown the whole install process. Thanks for sharing.
Betsy Arana: Beautiful we are so blessed for having such a caring stylist like you Crystal.
Lauren Kirby: Omg soo cute love this cut and style on her! Great job as always
Joce Nelson: You are a miracle worker! The good in helping your clients feel good about themselves is admirable.

Zina Rhone: She looks amazing. All praises to The Most High God for you Crystal. Thank you for restoring dignity to these ladies.
Peggy James: You said it Crystal, It's so SUPER CUTE on her. She looks Fabulous
Twanda Pippen: Beautiful Job As Always. I think you have to put a semi permanent color in with a perm. Don’t know much but some people do the permanent after the perm also but I was told instead waiting 3-4 weeks then apply any permanent colors.
tina thomas: I love the new look it's beautiful.
ricEd caUli: Super cute!!! Either one, semi or demi, would be okay to use after a relaxer.
