Texas' Man Weave Master | Barbers Of The World | Insider
My name is Adrin the Barber. I've been doing the man weaves for about three years now, and I've been cutting hair for a total of 10 years.. So the first step that we're going to do all the time is we're going to draw his hairline.. This is the most important part ,'cause. Once you put the glue and the hair down, you really can't move it., I'm just going to go and I'm going to cut his hair down. We're going to give ourself a clean, foundation., We're going to clean the scalp with alcohol. So that way, when we go and we lay the glue down it's going down on a perfect surface, where it's really going to last the longest. The scalp protectant goes on after that, and then I use my Ghost Bond lace, wig adhesive., So I use hair glue.. I laid the wrap down and I just blow-dried it., There's really not any special tools. Most of the stuff that we're using is stuff, that's already being used in the barbershop when it comes to our clippers. Our shears things like that. In the barbershop, the things that we're really bringing in that are new to us as barbers, is the adhesives, the scalp protectants, the things like that., The hair that we're using.. You see that stuff a lot more in a salon than you would a barbershop.. Now I'm taking a stocking cap, I'm putting it over that, and this is the final step of creating the base. It's going to help it last longer.. This is what they call sweat. Durable., So it can really stand up to a lot more moisture than units that are glued straight to the base cap. The units they last anywhere from one week all the way up to two months.. If you get somebody that really takes care of their unit, their unit's still going to look, I mean pretty fresh., You might have just some normal wear and tear hair starting to peel away a little bit.. They really just start to look like you need a haircut.. This is black electrical tape. And just to make sure I get a nice straight hairline, I'm going to lay that down as a guide and I'm going to take my Ghost Bond. Adhesive put it right over it, and then I peel the tape off and I have a perfect line.. The first step that I'm doing when it comes to laying the hair is, I basically take the dreadlock I comb out the very bottom of it just about. Maybe a half inch to three-quarters inch and then I'm just laying it right on his hairline.. So basically, this is just creating the hairline going all the way around and I'm laying them to where they fall out.. So then, when I go and I cut them on the edge, it looks realistic because you can still kind of see his scalp through the dreadlocks. For the rest of the unit. Now I'm going to use the black hair glue. The black hair glue. It'S a lot more durable glue., These dreadlocks they get heavy, and so with this glue, when you lay it on there, it's going to hold on there tight. You're not going to have to worry about it. Coming off. I'd say, the hardest part of the process is sometimes working with the clients and giving them exactly what they want.. A lot of people will come in with unrealistic expectations.. I try to be as transparent as I can, with my clients and kind of go off their situation and give them something. That'S really going to fit them and is going to look the most realistic. So when they're out in public people aren't just staring at them and wondering what they got going on on their head., The black hair glue does not dry transparent. So that's why I don't use it on the outer ridge.. Like I said when I cut down that outer ridge, I want to be able to see his scalp.. So now it looks more realistic., So I like to go through and I might pull some strands and make sure they're tight and just kind of compress everything.. After all, the hair is installed now you're, really just going through you're going to do your haircut.. Once you put all the hair on and you get to start cutting it, that's when it really just feels like you're just doing a normal haircut., I'm just going through I'm cutting down that excess hair on the front. And that's when it really starts to look realistic. ,'Cause now you can start seeing his scalp.. You can start seeing the excess hair from the dreads starting to come off and you don't see the glue and then I can go off and create my outline around the dreads and kind of create that separation.. When a unit starts to really look good is when you start to edge it up., So you really get all types of reactions from the client.. You never know what you're going to get. I've had people cry. I've had people get up. Give me hugs just really all types of things.. A lot of these people that come in haven't had hair in maybe 10 or 20 years, and so you're really giving them their youth back.. You get a lot of people that come in. They get the hair done. They get up and they're just amazed with how they look. And some people don't know how to act. Sometimes. Here, I'm using enhancements just to kind of blend anything in that needs to be blended in. If there's any seams or anything like that.. I try not to use as much enhancement. If I can get away without using any enhancement on a unit - that's always my goal., But depending on people's balding patterns. Sometimes you may need some to make it look more realistic.
Comments
ms_Zer0: this is the gta san andreas barber lmao
Duwayno Robertson: "A lot of people come in with unrealistic expectations..." He just turned a bald man into one of the Wailers. I cannot begin to imagine what unrealistic expectations are.

Angelisa: That is truly amazing! Thank you sir for the happiness you give people. You have a beautiful gift. God bless you
Jonah Hex: You're providing something good for these dudes. Kudos.
RD KLARNET: I never knew this existed…bravo! You can tell this guy loves what your doing.
Niki Bechus: I'm a hairdresser from South Africa who randomly stumbled upon this clip of your work. I'm blown away by your expertise & skill. The males usually get neglected in the hair department you've just shown what can be done. Wow this is a game changer for this guy, he looks fabulous. The end result is so mod & stylish but best of all those small details you incorporate leave the overall appearance looking so genuine & natual. 10/10 Top class work. Bravo!
Deepak S: Imagine you are walking on street and suddenly one of those hair lock falls off .
Trinity M: I love how supportive the comments are but I’ve already seen Black women getting dragged for weaves in this same space so please remember that we all deserve this positivity
Name Name: You know what I don't think I can judge these guys, even though it lasts like 2 weeks which seems ridiculous to me, sometimes people need this kinda stuff and that's legit
Scott Dixon: Wow that guy is really good at what he does and sounds like he enjoys doing it. It's nice to see someone doing a job they like, not everyone does
girlofanimation: This barber is amazing. Hollywood needs to hire him for movies. His clients must be so happy. They look decades younger
Erica Leach: Artistry at its finest! Great job
Henrietta Oneal: I can't even begin to tell you how liberating it is, and I feel so much more confident now than I did before when I was trying to hide the problem.
jfortier23: This is truly an art form!
1stP3&10: You're an artist! ❤️
Dennis DeMark: Absolutely amazing... genius in fact!
Amanda Ybarra: This is so awesome! :) I was just thinking what if an itch occurs on the top of the head how can they scratch through the glue? Lol. I was just wondering. I still think this is amazing work
Duke Lynch: That barber is God-Tier, phenomenal work!
Donaldwinter Amih: Good news for guys who have been battling with this complex . Love this
Manny A: I wish more movies and t.v. shows did this method because you can tell when the actor has on a wig.
Ruthie: Wow, I find it amazing the gentleman looked at least 10 years younger.
Demitris: I saw the smirk when he saw his locks were almost done in the mirror- you know he's excited! We all want to feel and look good.
Game Over Countdown: Real talk, real skill.
Arrica: Cant deny that the final product is amazing, but this is a very short term "solution" to a much bigger underlying problem. People need to accept that not everyone gets dealt the perfect genetic hand, you just have to accept the one you have.
Rai S: I'm a woman that shaved off butt length locs last year... I have a very bad bald patch (hereditary) on my crown, I was starting to get neck aches from the weight of my hair etc etc, so I just took the plunge and shaved everything off. I can't even begin to tell you how liberating it is, and I feel so much more confident now than I did before when I was trying to hide the problem. I know that not everybody's journey is the same but learning to let go can be very freeing!
Captain Howdy: Absolutely incredible results
ad stix: Amazing surgery at the barbershop! But seems to me that one problem is solved and another one created - how to wash safely to prevent unpleasant smells over time
D Y: It's a shame we live in a society where people feel shame for their hair loss to the point they volunteer to have hair glued to their head.
Let'sGetGaming: This is straight art man this is amazing
JAY WAYY TOO FRESH: Nothing wrong with a man wanting to improve his self confidence
David: Respect to my guy for the detail (I love seeing people who master their craft) but its a sad day when grown men are getting weaves tbh
Anna Russo: Freakin awesome job
Andy Zhang: You can literally see the light in the customers’ eyes return when they were finished
Jemma Farrar: This guy is absolutely amazing NEVER EVER in a million years would you think that was a weave
Mimble: 4:12 "I've had some people cry, others stand up and give me hugs-" My HEART- this is EXACTLY what we mean when we say we do it for ourselves. Wanting to look your best is about wanting to FEEL your best and we all deserve that.
Sarah Uchôa: I genuinely didn't even know it was possible. Impressive!
ajc 123: This is really cool. Looks nice. Glad that men have more options than just a hair cut.
gOD-LiKE SystemS: He went from Uncle to Cousin...REAL QUICK!
Christine Merritt: This is amazing! I wish it lasted longer than a Week! (I know he said a week to a couple months)
nebulae87: I can only imagine the boost in self confidence that these men exude after something like this. It’s almost like they get to be their true selves again because I’m sure balding or having gone bald takes a toll small or big regardless of what most may think. ❤️❤️❤️
Barry White: “...a lot of guys come into here with unrealistic expectations....”. So he delivers something better than they expected. Good god that was good.
hak1985org: This is amazing. He looks 20 years younger.

T McBride: God bless them. Salute to everyone’s happiness.
iTry: Took the man from 55 years old back to his upper 30’s. Good job.
B Balderston: This is really tempting me to do cultural expropriation. I'm so jealous of dreads! ️
Chichi: This is so sweet. I have a friend ....he spent the whole semester wearing caps and I asked him...what's up with all the caps and he finally revealed that he is shy about his boldness and how people have stereotypes about men with bold hair and how he feels 10 years older because of it.
bigweed69: Man this makes me appreciate my long hair
Dingus Bro: 1:27 from one week to 2months!?? as someone that shampoos every single day, I cant imagine not washing my head/hair that long with all the oily substance, dirt, sweat residue accumulating
Minh Hoang: Imagine getting into a fight and someone slaps that off
Kevin: Glue, electrical tape & paint, who would of thought
Spider_hip: That dude really looked much younger. But it's a lot of work. And I wish it could have last longer. Great job.

Priscilla D.: So well done!!

Jamie Heritage: Imagine seeing a generation of men patting their head when it's itchy... This is weird af
madie makes: As a woman with trichotillomania, I so so so appreciate the barber because of how proud and into his work he is. Its a form if art. This gives me so much hope that I can enjoy having hair again. I have yet to try any kind of hair system, I've lived with a shaved head for over 5 years now. I will be grateful to find someone in my city as good as this guy!
Scott Shelters: This dude is a damn hair magician.
sobiesky Jimenez: Protect this man at all cost
P F: Wow excellent transformation..I love it.. GREAT JOB!!!! SKILLS. price and location.
The People Who Fear Fire: This man is saving men from the embarrassment of alopecia. That's a G.O.A.T move. Just don't tell Will smith. He might walk all the way to his shop and slap him
Hbomb411: He may not be doing heart transplants, but he sure is still saving lives... Mind blowing work ❤️
Ms. Reid's Reads: Wow. That’s just incredible.
Dazed Virgo: Simply amazing. Thank god i dont need his services, but thank god hes here. But i couldnt go to a shop and let the wirld see my vanity
Roy Del Ray: That dude is amazing. I bet it’s expensive but if you have the means more power to you. We all want to look great.
Viz Modeling: Amazing work!
AAA: This looks really cool and turned out extremely well. I just hope that man does not live in a hot climate because my head gets hot & sweaty from a baseball cap and I'm sure I would literally overheat with all that latex glue, fabric material & hair bonded to my head, kind of like how a band aid gets annoying after a day or two from sweat, moisture and the adhesive irritating the skin...
Svetlana Pil: Very masterful,and the client looks great, but the whole thing is so wrong on so many levels. How one can wear a thick hat clued to their scalp 24/7? I would die of heat and itchiness, not to mention how ridiculous it is to go so artificial. He looked as good with no hair.
Mikehawk323: Whoever has good hair genes y'all should be grateful because I feel for the men who suffer hair loss
Wise Guy: Went from "Him pulling her weave" To "Her pulling his weave"
Adventurous Loner: This man is good at what he does.
LucidStudious: I am literally smiling from the fact that this man has made tons of people feel better. I have plenty of hair and no signs of hair loss. But I've seen what hair loss does to someone's confidence so God bless this man
Mohammed Haroon: You can tell hes good at what he does
Amateur World: Is that not irritating to the skin? From the sweat and the adhesive applied? Just asking though.
Connor R: The PURE talent. Wow. This is incredible work. Bless his heart.
Hentai Protagonist: This is what those barbers in GTA games do
Karen Lopez: Makes me so happy that things like this are becoming more normalized for men. They deserve to feel good about themselves with self care just like us ladies!
Ryan Copetti: I wonder how do the clients wash their hair. It seems like water cant penetrate through the glue on the scalp. Other than that, this guy is pretty good at what he does
Cr D: Imagine watching this man’s come into the shop bald. Just for him to come out with dreads. Trippy lol
Abshredder: This is what society has done to this man, you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Lando On Fleek: He literally aged 10 years backwards with that new haircut
Justplainkawaii: Dude, you did a great job and this was an excellent talk through. It was very informative, not overly complicated, and it kept me engaged with your voice over matching the video sequence. Great job!!!
T D: These are some really insecure no father having men, but shout out to the barber’s talent and making that money. I went bald at the young age of 24 and I just let it go and been rocking my bald head for years.
