If you have any questions about human hair, we're going to be answering those questions throughout this live so be sure to put it in the comments, but what I was going to say about the coloring that I think it's such an awesome giveaway. It'S not, of course, a wig, but if you're starting off with offering weights to your clients, I feel like the absolute best starter package would be a coloring, a catalogue and that's it because then show your clients the options and then you can match their color everybody. So one of the things that we come across all the time is human hair. Now I'm gon na say as a stylist, Christina your stylist as well as stylist. I personally love him in here now. We understand that's not for everybody, because there are some people who are just not good with their own hair and that's why we have a wonderful collection of synthetic wigs to choose from with beautiful colors and great selection of styles right. But if you are like Christina and I and you'd like to play with hair - and you like to color, hair and you'd like to customize pieces, there is no better option than to use human hair products, and I would say that hair you wear has some of The finest human hair products out there on the market today and I'm not just saying that it's because we know we know we'll talk about that. You know we do know. We do know, we've seen it firsthand, we've seen how they make them. We'Ve seen the quality of the hair, the factories we personally visited them together, so that's really exciting, but also, I feel like understanding like the inside of the wig versus the outside and how they could talk to each other and communicate and give you this overall beautiful End result we're gon na talk about that. I'M gon na show you guys how a stylist I like to work with the human hair and different textures. I think we're all about embracing the natural hair texture, your to skin tone, so we're gon na talk about that. A little bit today, too and I'll show you the tools that I have in my kit, but I'm just so excited because there's literally something for everybody within the house and that's what we're gon na kind of break down for you guys today and then again any Questions you got just please mmm, so girl do you want to get started so I get started. Maybe you go? Maybe you go forward? Why don't we talk about basically the Raquel collection, so we have the house of Raquel, which we call it and basically what that is. It'S all the products that fall under the Raquel Welch umbrella. So if you see at the top, which is the pinnacle, we have the Raquel Couture, that is human hair, that is, of the finest quality we'll talk about that and then we get to Black Label. Black Label is another great category of our human hair collection. Then we have transformations which transformations is top pieces, hair additions, things that you can use to enhance your own hair and then, of course, we have the Rockpile Signature Collection, which includes all of our synthetic fibers and pre-styled wings. So it's quite a group and there's a lot to choose from there's a lot to choose from there's so many different style options, hair pieces, toppers ways, there's also the price points range from, I think 53 dollars to 3900 and that's such a huge like area. So we're gon na kind of show you some of the pieces so that you understand where those prices are coming from. I think it's hard to see that there's a $ 400 synthetic wig versus at 3900 human hair, wig so kind of how would you choose one versus the other for your client and so hopefully watching our life today? You'Ll know how to upsell how to choose the right one for your client and for yourself as a stylist which one's gon na do what you need it to do. So that's what we're going to show you today, I'm so excited. I know I know so Christina. I will let you commence the journey yeah. Do you want to talk about since work since we're focusing on human hair? Let'S start with Black Label? So just so you guys know the signature. Collection is going to be our viper light and true the life. So those are all the synthetic styles, some are heat style and some are not so that's the signature collection, but today we're gon na focus on human hair, so Black Label was the one that's actually second to the top and I'll show you some of the Styles Here and the price points for Black Label, they ranged between $ 700 and $ 2,300, and I'm going to show you kind of how those price points are determined based on the styles. So this one that I have here is the beguile, and I kind of did that little 90s flip I'm gon na try this on in a little bit so good. I know I have to. I was styling and I was like I'm so cute okay. So what is what I'm gon na turn it inside out so that you can understand the construction versus the cost? Okay, so this is B beguile, so you'll notice that it's monofilament on the top monofilament means it's all handmade. This material is sheer, so it blends in with any skin tone when you part the wig, it's gon na look like scalp, your own hair grow, so it looks really natural. Then it has just this front. That'S polyurethane, you can add tape or adhesive or it acts like a natural grip like your own body, heat kind of sticks it. So that's really nice, but there's no lace front. This is a folded. Mono so and I'll show you how that looks different from a lace, bread then you'll see the sights on the back. Are just this wefted material they're all adjustable, of course, but this weapon material, even though it's not machine made because there's a person physically running it through the sewing machine. It'S not as tedious as something like this or something like this one, which is one of them. The higher price point items so you'll notice the huge difference and the sides in the back so again, they're both handmade products, but this one uses more machines and this one actually uses somebody physically hand tying all these cleaners exactly and you know it depends what you're. Looking for that would drive you to each particular category and also how frequent of a wig where you are, because if you don't wear wigs, often or if you wear them, if you change them out a lot, then maybe one that's West. It may work well. For you, if you are a very active person, if you, if you work out a lot, if you're running around all the time and you wear hair all the time, Couture is a great option and that's the pinnacle kept course seen. This has on your hand. Now that's great because the silicone bands in there really helped to keep the wig secure. So, if you're running around it's perfect, yes and it's go back to our beguile style. I really actually like that. This does not have the lace in the front because if you have, if you have a client that has a little bit of their own hair, they can pull out their hair and it yeah. So so undetectable great point is they don't have yeah like this? Is a top billing have a headliner here, but I'm going to show you kind of that top billing you'll notice. This is a lace front. This is actually just a topper but you'll notice. The hairline kind of just has like that, Sheerness to it versus a beguile which has kind of like a straight line where it stops. Yes, so you'll notice kind of the difference. Sometimes, if you have a client that doesn't particularly love lace because it might be a little bit uncomfortable, then the beguile or even I think, grand entrance is a longer version where it doesn't have a lease and you can offer them that and, like you were saying, Like you were saying Christina, there are a lot of women that you know not. Everyone has completely bald right, they have hair, or sometimes it's very thin, but if you do have a little bit in through the front, it's a great way to just you know, save the cost, you get the folded model and then you can comb some of your Own hair out through the front, it's a trick that a lot of celebrities use all there's a lot of celebrities actually use that, instead of doing the lace now, of course, if somebody has the diffused hairline or they don't have hair of their own, then the lace Prints, look amazing, okay, so here's my little model, I'm gon na, adjust here. So I'm going to show you guys some of these creating texture options, but this is the headliner and it has the lace front. So it looks really natural. Also, if you guys noticed the color is amazing: yeah we'll talk a little bit about colors with label, so with the oh there's, a black label. There'S options for someone inspired shades like this one, I'm gon na turn on the lights. You can focus on the highlights, but you'll see it has so many different colors and tones and direction it's not a solid color by any means, so they have these options. We also have. This is the Top Billing in an ar-10 h.h. This is our lightest level. Shade so you don't take this color and create any look that you want a little bit about it and showed you some extensions that I like color, not too blue in green. That are super fine, but you can literally take this color. If your client has pink hair local hair right real hair, maybe they have a specific burgundy color. Then you can take the level shape and deposit the color. I will really emphasize that with wigs and extensions and hair pieces, you want to make sure that you're depositing the color you're, not lifting, even if you want something with highlights, you're going to purchase the highlight color and what I wanted to do is I'll boil out All the highlights I'll use, conditioner or even just a toner, maybe and then deposit the base color, all over so you're kind of working in Reverse with weights and extensions and there's a reason why that is yeah and I was gon na say Christina. I prefer, and I think you would agree - I like any kind of color to deposit that has a maximum usage of five percent hydrogen peroxide. You don't want to go over that. The hair is processed. You know obviously goes through Bad's cleansing and cleaning, and so the hair can be a little porous, so you want to not use a high volume peroxide to color the wig so always deposit only and the lowest of that that you can find yes. Also, like I said, you're working in Reverse and you want to make sure that you're, not lifting you can always get the lightest blonde and showing it but don't lift. Like Frank, said: it's processed hair, I'm just not to get too deep into the processing method. But a color like this one, that's our salon inspired shape. This is our 829 s or anybody that's serious about the shade. It'S really pretty so this color the way that they process it is they lift it to this to a certain point, and then they deposit, a textile dye or something sort of point that it's very difficult to fade and lift which, for somebody, that's gon na wear. This, as is that's great you're, not gon na, have to worry about it, but as a stylist, if you're gon na go in there and try to tone it you're gon na try to color it try to lift it. I know you guys lift it. I know you guys easily try to lift it. You really don't know so the way that this is different from our h/h level shades is that this was just lifted to this point and that's it. Nothing was deposited over that do. Is it lets you go in there with your and you can achieve better results? Also, you get a tester strip, so you can test your color and make sure that it's gon na be the end result that you want. I always suggest testing the color. Just yes absolutely, and that is the whole idea behind the human hair right and we're going into here. You can customize, you can highlight low-light, you can make it darker in the back layer in the front. So if you're inclined to do that, you know get your, you know, get your little human hair levels and then you can deposit color over all of these. So what do you got for us Christina? Well, I'm, okay, that's good! So Christina! In the meantime, I'm gon na tell you all if you don't already have one of these. This is our new rock about catalog. It was just released, and this has everything you need to know about it in here, so it has all our synthetic pieces. I call it like the Bible, it's our wig Bible. Talk about. You know like fiber, it's very, very detailed. So if you are curious about anything look into this, we do have a whole section yeah. I love it. I love what the catalog has organized it talks about our human hair and then, of course, we have all the different colors illustrated in the back so get one of these people call your sales rep. Let them know you're interested if you didn't get it already, and this will help you out with a lot of what we're talking about today. Oh look at two quick change girl. You did that, so I kind of don't mind that this doesn't have the lace front. I mean it clearly: it's you know it's opaque, but its first of all, this human hair feels amazing and I'll talk a little bit about. So this is most of the Black Label. Collection is not running human hair in our beautiful list. That means that it's processed to remove the cuticle so that it doesn't get tangled and matted, but in doing that the hair quality, although very good like if you feel this feels like yes, it's not the top of the line. Remy, that's in our couture line. Now, in our Black Label collection, we have princess in contest there that our Eastern European hair, which is this one - and this is actually remy human hair. So those two in the Black Label collection around me but the rest are just cuticle - is human hair, but it's so nice and you know, while you're on the top of the type of hair Christina. It looks great. It looks great, but why, on the topic of human hair, I just want to say one of the things that for all of you, who are out there and you're shopping online or you're shopping in the store they're trying to figure out like. Why is there such a price discrepancy? I'M gon na tell you now it's because of the quality of the hair, and what we mean by that is. There are a lot of companies out there who are mixing synthetic fiber in with human hair. They are mixing animal hair in with human hair. I will tell you that you get what you pay for. I talked to a wig maker, someone who actually makes wigs custom wigs that are very expensive they're in the thousands right and she goes to meet a guy in Brooklyn to go, get hair and buy hair out of his garage. What this this hair is of the utmost quality - and I can tell you that hair you wear is one of the only companies out there that certifies the quality of their hair. We do third-party testing about third-party testing means is that we have outside sources and we also have an inside source. We thank you, see, Amara Cardona, who works for us and tests all of our hair to make sure. Not only are we getting what we pay for, but that you're getting what you pay for and the important thing to know about that is. We are the only company. Imagine all the weed companies out there. We are the only company that has been petitioning to certify hair. Have the hair certified have attested so that you're getting good quality here and you know what you're buying and so far we're the only ones that are certifying our hair and no one else will join us in this cause. So think about that when you're looking at human hair and looking at what you're buying yeah, because a lot of times to look that that looks really beautiful, it's got a lot of suede. But you know how I see all the time Christina. I see people that are shopping for human hair and you know how they, you know how they judge the human hair. They pick it up and they just feel it and they all feel maybe ours and they'll feel another. One they're like well this one's, like maybe half the price, but it feels so much better. It feels so much better. Well, you know what put that hair in a hot bath and see what comes out of there. It'S all silicone our hair. Initially, it may not feel as soft and silky as some of the stuff that is coated, but I guarantee you once that coating comes off. You'Re gon na be left with a hot mess. Ours put a lot of people probably don't know, is that factories will coat. The human hair doesn't get them cars, of course, of light coating as well. So one of my main tips for working like you in here is to always wash it first, even if they're gon na just style it wash it. You want to get that conditioning off of the hair, but you'll notice that with our products after you wash them even after you color them, I still look and feel amazing and we can't vouch for the other companies on there. Like Frank, said, you're getting what you paid for and with human hair, if you want to sell a quality product, souvenir is going to be something that your clients gon na, wear for a long period of time. So you want to get the best quality for that yeah and also us as a company right. We want to make sure that we're getting good quality products, so we test for our own knowledge to make sure the factories are staying. True to what our recommended ratios for human hair are and what our expectations are and our standards are, and you know if we make sure that we got a good product. You know you're gon na be getting a good product, so we all help each other. In this, so yes, one of the great feeling I was going to say, let me get back to to creating different textures. I don't think a lot of companies right now are just increasing natural hair texture. If somebody has naturally curly hair, you don't want them to change their look to wear a wig. You want to make the wig work for them. Okay, so this world pattern that I have right in the front. It'S it's pretty tight, but it's not too tight, but so you can get this super sleek straight wig into this curl pattern. Now the tool I use for this is a 3/8 of an inch curling iron like this one, and I just wrapped the hair on the curling iron and there's small sections or I'll. Take you don't want to take a section, that's thicker than the actual size of your curling iron. So it's just a little tip, but if you do, you can always separate the curl and then just kind of smooth it out. So the next texture that I'm showing here is this one, oh yeah. So this is kind of like a traditional Creek fire, and if you want it a little bit more subtle, then you can take a flat iron and just tap through that. But somebody that has really really curly hair when they relaxed their hair or they Flatiron it. It still leaves some texture to it. This is gon na give you that textured look which is really nice and it could accommodate somebody with naturally curly hair. Then this one is kind of more of a soft crimp, but this looks amazing on like a wraparound Pony like in the true-to-life. It works really nicely for this one I use so this one has it's almost like a barrels. So this is the larger crimp pattern and it's a triple barrel wave more right, Kristina. Yes, it's actually a rebe cuz. You only see two but there's one inside so it ends at 3 and then that smaller tight crimp pattern is this one, and I actually just discovered this: it's really cool it's automatic, I'm gon na turn it on. So you guys can see it dude. Is that the firework schematic there? What does it do pretty much? Okay? So if you look closely, it has more like lines. So it's creating that really tight crimp, which is this pattern here this one? Yes, so it has those like lines, but you see how small it is almost like a flat iron, so it self rotates so as you're gon na run it through like a flat iron and then it just rotates. Oh, very cool yeah, it's so cool. So that is what I used to create this texture and again, if somebody has naturally curly curly hair and they use relaxer or they straighten it, then you're gon na want to give them some texture. You don't want it to be super silky, because it's not gon na match what they would have naturally, and I think it's really important to accommodate somebody's natural hair texture and not expected them to change it. Well, usually, when you get the human hair, you might think it comes out of the box like. Oh this, isn't the right texture. Well, that's the whole point is we can add the texture right exactly yeah and that's kind of my point by showing you all. This is that, yes, we don't offer something with this curl pattern, but you can create it. You can create it for your client and so this other texture that I created. It'S really really tight this one. I wrapped the hair on a metal rat tail comb and then I have flat ironed the comp with the here's, a little tiny look, it's very pointy yeah, and so, if I was gon na, if somebody has this natural hair texture, I might actually get them a Human hair style that they can touch up or also do true-to-life, because you only have to do it that one time and it stays even after you wash it. So that's another option. No, it's something that they don't want to invest time and creating. Then you can get our true to life and it stays so that's really final, but yeah. Those are the textures. I hope you guys try them and if you have any questions, of course you can reach out to me. I forgot to put my Instagram handle on here, but it's a brother. We loaded up, follow me and ask me any hair questions. You have. I just updated my my name here so after you love any questions. You have about the tools that I used or my techniques on creating texture. Definitely let me know something that I do recommend as a stylus is to almost you, can almost just buy an extension kit and use some of the wefts to create different texture samples to show your clients, because I feel like wigs when you have somebody in your Chair for the first time and they're not super confident or comfortable with the idea of alternative hair, everything seems a little bit uncomfortable. So if you show them instead of just saying, oh, I can match your hair texture if you show them a sample of it. That'S so much better than just telling them you can do it in there. I'M not sure if it's gon na really look like their hair or if you could actually do it or if you have the choice to do it. So I love having like an extension kit with different texture samples. I think it's really. Yes, yes, and you know one of the things that I love Christina - that you use today and you showed everybody is that you actually put the wig on a wig block, a canvas wig block. I have to tell you people out there if you're a casual, wearer or obviously I would imagine people in the wig shops, you guys know, there's no better way to style a human hair wig then on a natural wig block. So if you don't have one, if you are at home - and you are like a serious, we wear get a wig block that you can take some t pins on. You put the wig on there and you have a nice secure base to style your wig on. It'S so important. There is nothing like it. I promise you. It'S got a nice grip and it just works so well for cutting coloring. When I color a human hair wig, I will always put a saran wrap around the actual block to protect the color from staining the actual color of the block, the canvas block. So for those of you who are getting into human hair, get yourself a nice wig block, I think you'll find it to be a great help. You know, all you need is the wig block and the t pins, and then you can your your set. You can do anything you want, you can create a that's the thing. I love about human hair, so just to kind of differentiate. What we talked about on our last live, which was mainly about hairdo and the amazing true life. They also have human hair. So you could do a lot of things, but I really wanted to focus that live on how easy it is to create. Like really quick Styles with you over here, you have the luxury of taking your time. You have a luxury of adding fruit and I would say that's probably my one of my top three tips is to add a shaded route like, for example, this top of headpiece, even if somebody's naturally blonde guess what they're always gon na have a little bit of A shadow of base, something that's right - that is going to be there before you get to the blonde. So that's something that you can add as a stylist, you can tone down the base a little bit and it actually gives it a merging natural look. So, with human hair versus or true-to-life secretly synthetic fiber you can color, it and Frank is gon na show you some amazing work that he's done with our tour in life, but you can, like literally, I always say, you're. The limit is your imagination. Anything you can. Imagine you can create it exactly, which is why you know human hair is great, for you know all types of things for film television photography and, of course you have that beautiful natural Sheen, which always looks so perfect and ideal in a real life setting as well. So it's it's just there's something different about it again. You know you just you just have to embrace it. One of the questions you know we get asked a lot about human hair is how do I care for it? How do I you know shampoo? It condition it all of that, and do you want to speak to that Christina or someone? Definitely, okay, I'm sure you have some tips as well with their human hair collection, even though TBD may be there's going to be some stuff coming out, but we do recommend using. We do recommend using products that are formulated for color-treated hair, so you're going to use. I recommend using top quality products. I wouldn't do drugstore. You know products like that. If you go to your local salon or just a good rated, someone in your area get something that's formulated for color-treated hair. You want to make sure that you're adding moisture back into the hair you're, definitely not gon na wash it as often as you go to your own hair, because it's not collecting those oils from your scalp, so you're gon na wash it. I always say every like six to eight wear, so, let's wearing it every day, maybe once a week every other week, you can always base that on your lifestyle, if you're working out in it, if you're sweating a lot or something you have an event, and you Want it to just be fresh, of course I can adjust, but it's really not that every day, every other day like we would our own hair and then also make sure you're only applying your conditioner from the mid to the ends. I would say right here to the ends to put any conditioner near the base of human hair wig, because ours are all you know, machine or hand tied and now conditioner is gon na release those knots and it's gon na cause. Sometimes, if your client is complaining that the hair is shedding a lot, that could probably be the reason that it's shedding of conditioner. They think it's gon na hump the hair. But it's really just undoing those knots right, because the conditioner conditioner kind of gets into where that hair is tied and then the implication kind of opens up that knot. And then you start to see shedding. So you do want to keep away from the scow. That'S a very good tip I find often sometimes, if you're not really active, if you're not like sweating or wearing a week to work out or anything like that, you know even just a little bit of conditioner high-quality conditioner it mixed with a little bit of water. In a spray bottle, it's a great way to kind of refresh the hair and then dry it again just to kind of refresh the styling in it without having to take the whole time. It would require to shampoo the wig, let it dry in the air block and or in the big block, and all of that so another quick tip for that too. If you can really just want to restyle a little bit yeah. So I'm looking at the comments here so I'm seeing yeah what do we got so Evelyn uses the processing caps to protect her with weight block. I know you, I use a packing, clear, packing tape and I have two blocks. I have one for styling and one for color processing, so my processing color block is always wrapped in the clear tape and all you to do is wipe that off and it just stays on there and that's dedicated for that. And then you just cut it off, and then we have another question question in inner classes. On this past year, we added a day to day 2 session, or we talk about coloring tips and techniques and our main tip for avoiding the lace front or the base is to take really thin sections and never push your color deep in, like you would, on A client you're kind of like pushing it into their stuff because it's okay, but you really just want to coat the route and work in really thin sections. If you avoid the actual base and the knots do not get colored, it actually creates a really natural look and I'm not bleaching that can sometimes make it look unnatural. So it actually helps you in more than one way. Also. I have found that if the color gets onto the cap, because it's sheer - you still don't see it, you see it physically holding it when you have it on, you, don't see the stains. So if something slips or it touches it, it's okay, it's not gon na. Be like that right right, I have found you know, especially if you're just depositing only it really because you're not using a very dense color. It really doesn't stain, be the lace too much. I hadn't really found an issue with that myself. Personally, so we have another great question: yeah we have requests from great white human hair what he recommends to achieve this. Actually we have amazing, educators and Kelly. She also shows on her hairy butt in the road classes, a sample of. I think it was a human conveying by Raquel that she colored gray, it looks incredible yes, so what she did is she took the art NHH, which is this level shade and she toned it with like a silver and then you can add, like the salt and Pepper tones really really baby thin highlight foil. Yes, you can do that, like almost like a black little black streaks, going through it with a silver toned base, and that gives you that yes and becomes platinum when the silvers are so popular right now you can get it in so many different brands Kimberly asks. Hi Kimberly, she asks you know what what colors, what color lines do we use the color, the wigs and without Oh plugging anything yeah. I will say I look at a lot of deposit only color lines, so it depends on looking if I'm looking at fantasy colors. There are lines that I prefer for that. If I'm looking at toning, I'm just gon na say that one of my favourites for toning is the red can shades eq, and I prefer that, but I've looked at a lot of them ever could gold? Well, I've worked with matrix, so yeah, yeah and and what kind of consistency you know some people like a gel some people like the cream so find something that works with you. The most important thing is that you keep that a hydrogen peroxide level below 5 %. That'S the most important thing right and then also doing like add MI or semi-permanent, even though it's not going to fade as position with your client. You know what's best for the way just stick to semi semi toners are great. You can create the look of gray hair going back to that question. Will it look exactly like natural? You know salt-and-pepper hair, maybe not exactly, but I really feel like you can get close to the color and again I want getting human hair extension kits and just practicing yes, maybe given a West and try to do a song yeah inner hem collection, because because the Great because you cannot purchase or they don't produce great human hair, I guess nobody would want to buy it right. Frank, that's bad! Well, yeah disintegrate! By the time it turns great for coloring real human hair right, but so what they do to create that really truce. On pepper, look is that the great used in the wigs is a synthetic and then the tone - that's blended, with it, whether it's dark brown black, that is human hair and in our kindling, do you have those varieties right, but I think if you want something 100 % human hair - you can achieve that with our art, n-ath level, shade and depositing silver and yes, and to your point person, another caveat for all of you. People out there who are finding these grave silver colors in human hair online be warned that there is the only way to get that white hair white white is to use synthetic fiber. So you're not going to be getting a hundred percent even here, even if they say it so be warned. Okay, so another great question, I'm so happy that I get to see the questions today. Okay, so we have another question she's asking to the scalp, and I will show you how it's me to where you don't have to do it. But if you want to you, of course, can these styles - and this is the food aisle that I had on anything that you see here that looks like this so right at the crown along front hairline that can all be bonded, whether it's tape or adhesive. That'S up to you and your client, but that area is there. For that reason. Now, if you notice the back, it does not have any additional bonding areas, so this is mainly so that it doesn't shift or move back out of place. Something like this and sensing. Contessa can have more areas. There are areas in this cap all the way down here that you can bond it, and this is within the Black Label collections of Princess Anne Contessa. So really, when you open or when you put your cap inside out, anything that is slick or kind of shiny is an area that you can use tape right. He said friend, a lace front. Of course you can use tape right, he said yeah. You know, I said that question, you know the silicone areas and the PU areas that we add to our human hair, wig and any of our wings, for that matter is to provide security and also a sense of you know. This is not going to fly off. This is on it's good, its secure its tight, that's the whole idea of it. So with most of our wigs, you don't have to really bound them. You can, of course, but I would, if you're gon na bond, I would suggest maybe just doing a double stick tape over an actual kind of you know glue on roll on Bhandar, because you know especially around the lace that can over time deteriorates and you won't Get the length of the wig, you know the lifespan of the wig, if you're constantly doing that, so just this little sidebar on that yeah and then another thing too. If you go on here you order comm and you call one of our representatives. We have different tapes and adhesives based on different areas of life, like there's a lace tape and then there's the liquid or different bondings that we have as well and then there's the removers for it. So I think, if you really are interested in doing the blondie, of course, their work elevates a comedy just make sure you're using products that are gon na be great for your skin type. Like do an allergy test, make sure that it's not going to cause any type of reactions, just be extra careful. The tape is super easy because it's kind of like you put it on and take it off each day, but it's really secure, but then you can take it off and rest your scalp. And if you do kind of a liquid, where it's a few days, then you might have to make sure that you're really careful with sensitive skin, indeed, indeed so, take those precautions. First, yes, always do your allergy test. I think it's on the back of your that I think my scalps more sensitive than my wrists, though I got me to touch something on me person, I'm putting it right here but whatever so. Why don't we go through that? What do you want to discuss next? My dear okay, so I feel like we really broke down Black Label and just to kind of sum it up, so we can move on to Couture. I personally love Black Label because of the price points they range between $ 700. A lot of them are between 700 and 900. You can always, you know, get them for a little bit less if there's any sales or promotions going on, but those are MSRP s roughly, and then you have the princess and Contessa that go into the 2000 range because of the construction and they're a hundred percent Remy Eastern European hair, so it's kind of the cap and the air quality, is making that price point. But I love the price points. I love that there's some wefted side and back options. There'S some non lace front options for clients that don't maybe necessarily prefer the lace front or, like I said, they're gon na pull their hair out. They don't need it or they were a bank. So you have those options and the least and of course is going to add to the cost of it awake. But I feel, like Black Label is a really good collection of haircuts. I like to say that there's all these different haircuts in within the collection and then you can take those different haircuts and create all the styles that you want. There'S also the salon inspired shades of highlights and lowlights. We even have some that are tipped like ombre kind of rooted or lighter ends, and then we have the level shades that you can process in color. So it's a really good roundup of haircuts and colors for stylist or the end consumer. That just want something that is ready-to-wear and they're just gon na tweak it like they put their own hair. That is great exactly I couldn't agree more, it's a great line and especially if we consider the quality of the hair and the dye process that we use just a great great start to human hair, if you're getting into even hair for sure, yeah okay, so that Was Black Label? So let's talk about Couture, Couture yeah: it was just a few years ago. It'S not as it doesn't have the longevity that the black label collection has, but it is amazing and all that fringe, a big part of designing it. Well, the whole idea behind Couture was: we were trying to find a way to give our customers who are very active who, like to ride on motorcycles like to be in the convertible and wear wigs all the time. Let'S say they have like alopecia or they've just lost their hair, completely hormonal imbalances. We wanted the wig wearer, who wear something every day to have something that was secured to something that was of high quality, that could be shampooed and conditioned and styled over and over again without a degradation of the actual product. So, in order to do that, we had to find the highest quality human hair available, which we found and which we're using 100 % human romina. For those of you who don't know what remy hair is, it means that his hair that it's collected as it grows out from the scalp, so you don't have to remove the cuticle. It will not tangle it grows and is positioned into the wig in the same direction that it originally grew out. Now we also have done with the couture collection, a special dye process, and the dye process is very slow. It'S very gentle and it protects the integrity of the hair. You are getting one of the finest human hair products that you can get with the raquel couture collection. So you can feel confident about that. I have a little photo that we did. A photo shoot is going on talking about the couture collection, so we had miss raquel, who we were in los angeles, doing the photo shoot, and you know it was this - is our pinnacle right. We have a special design cap which we're going to talk about because Kim Stan asks about the cap. We'Re going to talk about the cap. It'S called the pinnacle cap, but we were doing a photo shoot and we thought well, let's just make this really grand and really extravagant. So we decided that we were gon na have raquel in one of our wigs from provocateur and she was going to be on this grand ladder and it was just going to be this. You know really dynamic photo, and so we a special dressmaker, but it was really long to go up on the ladder I'm doing a photo of this. Maybe we could pop the photo there. She, and so we were thinking. Maybe Raquel doesn't really have to get on the ladder, but we were a little nervous because mama Raquel insisted poker croaky began on the top of that ladder and, of course she wanted to do it in high heels. We were like no, no one will notice you're, not wearing high heels, so she went up there in those platform shoes and we got that beautiful, shot and she's wearing provocateur in there, which is in other ways I'm going to show you, but it was a great Shoot and it's indicative of just the quality of this whole product line and and the elevation of it. So without further ado, let me show you guys one of our wigs in the couture collection. So first worth talking about is the cap, and I don't know if you all can see this, but what you're gon na find with this cap is you have a Oh Christine you've got it too great. So if you can I'll get her on the mannequin, you could talk about the cap. Okay, yeah, we're sure, okay. So the way, the reason why this cap is so unique and so great, especially if you're looking for something that you for long periods of time and you want it to just feel like it's. Your hair gives you that so the entire time is 100 % hand. Knotted, so it has lace, custom on oh and it was by hand right back besides the back something that you can't do. The exam, unfortunately, is touch and feel this material, but this area it's like our traditional hand, tight caps, but it's coated in silicone. So we don't touch it, it has like a grip to it, but then it has the additional bands of silicone throughout the top too, if you notice, like the way my lights hitting it, you see those bands, it has this area here. That is very grippy. It'S like silicone, the nice thing about it, because in most custom leagues you cannot adjust. But if you look closely, you can adjust our Pinnacle cast. So that's amazing. This area here this material can be cut back to meet you also around the ear tabs. You can cut that matter if you need to and the lace front as well, which makes that totally customizable around a year exactly every type sakes. Now the bar is drawn okay, yeah, so I'll break down the French strong top, so that you can understand how amazing this technology is so this material here that would touch your scalp is silk. It'S so soft, like I, I can't even describe how soft it is. So that's a layer of silk. You don't see where it's knotted! Okay. So then you have your lace material! That'S here! This does have the hand knotting. This material goes all the way to the back here and that's where all the hair is knotted, but what they did is they took another layer of the silk I'll show you on this end and they pulled the knots through the silk okay. So what that's gon na do? Not only is it super soft on your scalp. Yes, look at the top and this one I wish it was a dark color, but you do not see any of the knots. Yes, it looks like it's right from the scalp yeah. I can't like hey: this is a yeah showing it literally looks like scalp like sometimes when I'm working on these I'm styling, I'm like oh, no, I burned her like. I forget that it's not like a head. No, but I really like it really looks like scowl. You don't see the knots where let me show you this one. This is my beguile that I go on as natural. As that looks you see the knots because they're tied to the mono, it doesn't have that extra layer of silk, so they put that extra layer of silk. I mean all the knots or the hair through that yo, so the knots are sandwiched in between two layers of soap and that's the other thing about the pinnacle cap in the couture collection. Is you have this, ladies? You have this extended lace, which goes all along the side of the hair, which means this can be worn up. So you can you can glue this down. You can tape this down. If you want, hopefully you don't have to. Hopefully it fits you just perfectly. This is savoir faire that I'm showing you guys right now and it's just a beautiful bob. It'S just to me it's a great length. It'S a longer bob, obviously, but this wonderful hair moves freely again, it's the hand tying that makes it so spectacular. You also have, like I said, the adjustable christina was saying the adjustable tabs, which you can put this really tight to your temple, hair too, so you get a nice secure, fit there as well, but a beautiful hand tied way, and you know I. I talked a lot of people who do different kinds of work with with wigs in general right and you know a lot of times, people if you're out there. If you're a makeup artist, you're a hairdresser for film or television, you think you have to have a custom wig made. I can tell you that these wigs the quality and the design of the cap, these can be used for film and television very easily. So don't think you always have to go with a custom-made wig for whatever actor you're working with these do phenomenal and they look great in high definition as well, because they are so perfect. But what you get is yeah. I was just gon na show this color. I love the color that you have that's kind of that super in style. Right now, like face framing highlights yeah, but this one that I have is called Chardonnay. So it's really really light platinum blonde right, but then it has like the softest subtle base. Color, did I see that root? It'S nothing! It'S such a pretty shade, but there's so many great colors and, like Frank said, they were able to maintain that really high quality for any human hair because of the way that they process them, which we can't tell you. This is SS 1222. This one is called cappuccino and you can see just the wonderful beautifully blended and of course you can know like this. If you want so you can crank wins what style are you showing? This is savoir faire in the cappuccino, yeah, oh yeah. I we have a photograph of Raquel in the good life, so you guys can check out this. That'S this one! I have here yeah. Where is that photo? Do you have her miss mark? Oh there she is in her signature, red, copper, color. You could go very. Very Monroe with that Marilyn but see what I would do and it's for yourself and you want to get this really light blonde. I need to tone this route or get it close to my brow, maybe closer to my brother and then I can probably pull off this. We'Re really really quiet like it's a wig, so keep in mind your clients, skin tone and their eyebrow color. And then just you can wear any color like sometimes strands with darker skin tones or darker natural hair. Say, oh, but you can't, you just need to add of course. Of course this one I have here is provocateur this is I got a literature off here. This one is so luscious you didn't see. You did something super amazing with one of those for sure I did I did I did so. This is. This is very Donatella. This is this, is the provocateur in the Chardonnay she has not been toned. This is the color she comes in, so you get the rooted area who we're talking about its is up there, but you can't own this. So if you wanted to yeah, I said when you have so: if you want to take this color to a little, you want to make it a little more neutral. You want to make it a little more strawberry. You can do all that by depositing some color on her. So, yes, we used her in the shoot of course as well. We'Ve used all of the girls in the shoot, but we did something that we did a shoot for a 50th anniversary, and I want to talk to guys about that too. We use both our Black Label and our couture wigs to create a retrospective of Harry where's. Being in business for 50 years, so what we did is we did a look from every decade, so there you go. There'S our 50 years we have like from the left. We have a little bit of our Jenner look in the pink hair. We have our Pam Grier, look, we have our Jennifer Aniston, our Beyonce, our Audrey Hepburn from the 50s Farrah Fawcett from the 70s and then Vidal Sassoon from 60s, and then we also have, of course, Madonna Whoopi, completely thought Madonna, all styles, that were representative of the Time period for the decade, so we picked, we picked those decades and we ran with it, and so we were able to create all these looks by coloring and cutting these human hairs. It was one of the most fabulous shoots of my life because it was so fun to just let loose and be creative and what a great team we had just need. A patron is the art director, Barbara Hulanicki, from Bebo, who did all the clothing, for it was a great shoot, so so I'm gon na. Let you know that this wig right can be colored and I'm gon na show you what you can do with cutting and coloring this wig, because I did it so there's no limit to this. So I took that same wig provocateur and I routed it and I added some color to it varying highlights and lowlights of varying pink tones to create. This look, which you can see, is a total variation. So I don't need that. I'Ve been keeping her all to myself. Everybody wants this wig right, but you can have it because it's this way it was a labor of love and it was so great to be able to do. This is what I'm talking about if you're a stylist, if you're creative person - and if there are looks you want to make that sometimes synthetic wigs, don't afford you human hair, wigs. What a great, what a great way to let your creativity flow and to also customize for your customers to create some great looks and actually match their color to a tee. You know yes and some questions pocket or with a link, but the provocateur is between 13 inches and 16 inches. So it's a really nice link. That kind of, I think on me would probably hit like right about here, yeah about yeah, maybe a little longer. That'S a really great length if you guys want something super long. The longest style within the couture line is glamour and more and that one is like literally almost waist length. It'S stunning yeah. Oh, it's so full interest. So what I was going to talk about Frank?
