These kids ain't, even gon na nobody instrument comes home at night, so yeah, let's go ahead and get into this. The first thing I'm gon na do is I'm gon na show you guys the tools on products, the hair, everything I use to complete this. Look. If you guys have questions, make sure you need to comment hit me up on Instagram I'll try to get back to everybody. I possibly can. I think I've done a pretty good job so far with automation, as I begin so yeah make sure you hit me up and also get over to my mother's website Mellon.

So you can read more the story over on this website, but it go ahead and check out the right ready beer. Besides, that I'm gon na go ahead. I'M gon na jump into this video months go away, no more because I know you gon na be species like I was after you see this transformation, let's go ahead and game alright. So now for the products I got, my black hair, blue black hair wraps. I got my black stocking cap, my ghost bond. I got rocket locks, hair 2x Mambo rocking locks made by Janet the colors 1b, and for this unit I use three packs of that. The Cuban toys - I ended up not using for this tutorial, so you can forget about their my white eyeliner pencil, you'll need and a brush to spread the glue, so we can go ahead and jump into this video for everybody. Who'S seen my videos before you know that I'm actually sitting here watching the video with you coaching you through it and basically just explaining everything I'm doing along the way. So again, if you get lost, you got questions make sure you just leave me comments or add me on Instagram up in the top left for a right hand corner wherever it's at for this video. You can follow me on instagram at agent barber. So let's go ahead and jump into it. The first thing I'm gon na do is take my white eyeliner pencil and the color really doesn't matter an eyeliner pencil use, black brown, white and blue whatever, because before we lay any help, Whitney blue down we're gon na wipe this wet line away. So as been as possible, if you don't want to show so I was gon na start with the vertical bars and I'm just gon na locate those and I want to leave them. I want to try to leave the naturally as day. If I can sometimes these you know, your client may not have any hair there at all, and so you might have to make those and in future videos I'll show you guys how to make the size. So after I do my vertical lines, I'm gon na go ahead and make my horizontal line now. Take your time. There'S no need to rush. This is the most important part of the process, because you don't get this line straight. It'S not it's not like. You can go back after the hair and glue is laid down and straighten it out. You have to make sure it's straight perfectly straight before otherwise you know. Wherever that glue is laid, you can't cut you're, just gon na end up with a crooked hairline and you're. Either gon na end up with the unhappy client or you just gon na, have to you know let them leave or take that off and start over so right here I got my wall magic clips and with these magic clips, all I'm gon na do is I'm Just going to make a nice horseshoe shape you going back to the to the crown of his head and just bawling out everything I'm not gon na. Take it completely all the way down to the skin. I just have my magic tips with the blade closed because for this unit, we're gon na actually place the wrapping your cap on it. But if you saw my first hair replacement videos the same sort of setup process, so I don't have to worry like that. With the Western, this is how like they're getting is smoothly possible. I don't really have to worry about this, for this video I'm trying to make it when I make them a horseshoe shape. I want to try to make it as even as possible going around, because I don't want lopsided threads, so I'll use those two points. There'S two pointer points. You know these balls from there and bought everything back to the next step in the preparation for putting an adhesive down who's gon na take her some rubbing alcohol you're just gon na clean your client scalpel, it's important because you don't want you want to make sure. There'S no grease or hair or anything left behind it's gon na stop it heats up from sticking. We want to try to get the maximum exposure maximum maximum amount of wear time. Out of this is possible so make sure you working with a clean canvas, not gon na, protect it, and I'm just gon na place my scott protector anywhere that they're gon na be glue, so I'm not gluing his whole scalp. So I'm not gon na I'm not gon na go in Scout. Protect this whole Scout, I'm just going around where I'm putting the glue so you'll see before I let my wrap down, which is gon na, be my next step. I'M taking my ghost bun right, where I put that sky protect and going around the head. I'M gon na we'll go around in right in the middle right close the cap off it. I'M gon na put a circle of glue, and now I'm gon na take my brush there's just a regular dog rest as we can get it sadder than a beauty supply store. I see your area, I'm just gon na spread it out just make turn into a thin layer. Do the same process all the way around this day and then we'll go into the middle and I'm gon na spread that out. You see I'm leaving live in a small space between his natural hair and as well in the front with the hairline, because when I actually plus dr. price place the dreadlocks I want, I want to be able to still be able to see the scalp a little Bit to try to make it look as natural as possible and then again you don't need to cap all the way up to his hairline. Basically, what we're doing here in this process, if you've ever seen a toupee, this is you're kind of making a toupee. That'S what that's what this step right here and this allows for the unit to be a sweat resistant and actually holds up to water better than the units that don't have this. So when I say like sweat and water-resistant, it doesn't mean you can get in a shampoo, your hair. It just means that if it gets wet, it's gon na hold up better compared to the unis that don't have this sort of underlying. So now, just to close this cap down, I'm just gon na you know put it a little bit of black hair glue. I'M just gon na lay this scrap all the way down. I want to get it flat to his head. So when you do a unit like this and you you're doing this preparation worker, you have the cap and you have the wrap, you can go to the gym and work out and it will hold up to the sweat a lot better than my guys said. Previously. The units that don't have the underlay I'm take a blow dryer and just to completely make sure that this wrap is glued down. That glue is dry. Before I move on to my next step, it's gon na kind of Pat it down The Wrap, should look similar to this right here, and you see the space that I have leftover. You see we're not to live that so now. The next step is on the tech, my black weight cut and we'll place it over its head from the glue this wig cap down to the black wrap and then I'll cut. This off now know they're gon na be a lot of people, you're gon na, say well, she's by agenda to pay, or you know, buy it to pay and skip this step. This right here to pays. They run a lot of money. This is this is along the same sort of lines, but it's a lot cheaper to pay anywhere from $ 150 plus. You know I've seen up to a thousand dollars, maybe even even more money than that, but uh this. This is more economical way for you to need to make it work for your clients, not everybody can come in and pay. You know five hundred or thousand dollars to get their hair done and so makes it. This is very similar to a toupee and then with this you can customize the hair. However, you want also a big question. I get a lot is knocking through straight hair, and this is a very similar process to how you do straight hair - and I do have a tutorial with the man we sure straight haircut assuming so when that comes out, you'd be able to compare the tool. So all I did here I'll just put the black hair glue and a circle around the wrap, and I did a cross down the middle over the side and I use my fingers to kind of hit the glue from the cap into the wrap. So I could get him say it here together and now. I'M just gon na go ahead and cut this wrap. There cut this cap off and a lot cosmetologist. There are people who do women's hair, they're gon na say you know this is very similar to like a quick weave. You know it's a very similar process now, not always say the dreads, for instance, because they're dreads, though it's a little bit different process than sweat, durable unit. I did my first video. That'S that's more comparable to a quickly than this run would be, but I think the setup process is pretty identical. I'Ve never done a quick weave. I don't know too much about it, but from everything I've heard is pretty identical. So now I got that um cat glue down on top of the wrap up at the wrap on the head. Now, I'm gon na take this jazz, I'm just going to prep the dreads. When you get to this stuff. You see, I use three packs of hair when you get to this stuff. You really make the dreads as long as you want so for this unit, for instance, I cut these drains out 11 inches and then I have a whole bunch of new growth. That'S visible with the unit, so I didn't want to make these like super clean dreads. I got another tutorial I'll be doing in the future. Doing like the clean dreads, where you can see the parts and then I have another video with like some baby dreads, where there's just barely any new growth, but for this instance like I said I want to make these long and I want to put a whole Bunch of new growth and make them just try to make them look as natural as possible, so this rock and locs pack actually has a measured measurement on the side. So what I did is like I said I measure them down to 11 inches. How can 11 inches, I don't know comfortable with, and then I went ahead, and I just even you know just took that the ones that I cut off and mashed it up with the other ones and cut those off. You do the same thing. All three packs and you don't you - can use less drugs. If you want other likes. I used a lot of J's in this video, but you can you can get away with these losing using those pears. I probably could have did two packs and I put a could've spread them out just fine now this next step, I'm just taking my electrical tape. If you see my previous videos and you've seen, I did this process every time before I do the hairline. This just cuts out trying to you know wipe the glue down perfectly and a straight line. This just cuts out that process. You put the tape on you, put the glue, you wipe it across the tape. Take the tape off. You got you, you got your perfect lineup. Any guys got questions eventually leave down the comments below this is a this is a long process. It'S a lot of work, there's a lot of steps, it's easy to get confused and so take my my tenth brush and I'm just gon na just make a nice even layer and what you're gon na do is you're gon na do this process all the way Around where you, where you have the space, because now we're going to start on our hairline we're actually gon na, do the outer dreads first and then we're gon na work. Our way in and fill in then fill in the middle of a cap. So after I put that glue on, I want to remove my tape right away. I don't want to let the glue dry it off the tape on, because if you do that, you're gon na have a mess. When you go to put that tape up, and it goes fine like I said - I let go spawn a lot just because like when you take that tape off, you can take some shears and if any glue fell over the line, and you can go back and You can just line it up like you would if you had a straight razor and when you put it on just white, so you can actually look and see it make sure you've had a perfect hairline before you even put any hair on, and if it's not Right, like I said, just a usual shoot: even it up, get it right. So now I'm gon na take my my first dreadlock and see I'm creating new growth by just combing up the end of it right here like this and I'm gon na start right in the middle of his head and I'm gon na put this first drag down. So I'm gon na let some of that I'm gon na some of the new growth fall over the hairline, because when I go back to lined it up, I want to make sure there's something. So you don't don't line it up perfectly with where you put the glue. Look at look at new growth fall over your hair, like you created, and he is gon na. Take another piece of hair and you're gon na. Do the same exact process. Comb out the end make sure all your dreads are combed out the same like I usually I'll, take like four or five dreads hold them evenly and then comb off the bottom. So that way, I have equal new growth on each thread. If any of you guys are gon na be in la Marck star for Barba con, let me know man, I'm gon na be out there for them after that whole weekend. I love it like I get back up to LA you, see I'm doing the same exact process. I let that glue dry a little bit because when the go spawn starts to dry, it turns clear. So that's when you know it starts turning clear you're ready to put your hair on don't put the hair on wider. The glue is still super white because it's not gon na stick right away. You got ta, let it become tacky a little bit and then you go and you compress your hair off and believe it or not like this dread unit is like it's a super durable units. A super strong unit like I did it on a mannequin one time like I think, I'm a live feed where I took the mannequin actually was like holding it by his hair and bouncing up and down did like this unit. This unit holds really will, and so you see I'm doing the same exact thing just taking one day at a time and just drop, laying I'm combing out the bottom of the new growth and then Lena right over the hairline and that's gon na give me something To trim down line up when I come back at the end of this, and now I'm just kind of pressing that pressing the hair down into the glue a little bit better after I get that whole piece on. So now that this is going to make up. My front hairline and the drag process has officially began, so I'm going to do the same thing. I said it before take the glue and I'm just filling in that space - that little space I had between these natural hair in the cat and I'm even gon na. I mean we're gon na get the glue on his natural hair just a little bit just on the top of it. So that way, when I go to blend again it all blends in really nice same process. You know you can do more than one piece of hair at a time, I'm just for the video purpose, I'm doing just one piece of hair cuz. I want to show you guys how to layer, and I want it to make sense. I want you guys to get confused, but you'll see when I get to the back I'll start, laying two at a time and then put that piece down. You know, make sure it's stuck and you move to the next piece, these units. Actually, it's not as hard as it looks like to do. It'S actually good for pretty simple units to just it's time-consuming, just because you're lying piece by piece and again you can dictate how much new growth you want. If you judge, if you want just barely any new growth, you just barely comment out at the bottom. If you want a lot of new growth, like I said just this one like oh, I didn't want these dreads to be super clean dress. I want it please to be the nappy not be looking dressed and then again I left. I left that space because we knew glue. Drys is gon na dry, clear and then it's almost like the scalp exposure unit. I did where you can still still kind of see the stop through the hair and it gives it more of a natural look more of a more of a real look. I could have took the cap all the way down to his hairline, but then everything would be super dark around it, and I put my ghost bun on I let it dry a little bit. You see. I got two strands here just to kind of speed the process up also start at the end of February. I am gon na be traveling around doing hair replacement classes, teaching teaching different units. I have six cities I'm going to for sure, and I have a couple other ones that are maybes right now, so make sure you stay on the lookout subscribe to my channel and hit the notification bus, so you guys always update it and then again, if you Want to see me in York, City teaching, hair replacement, no put that down in the comments. Let me know where I should come next right now. I know for sure that I'll be in Dallas and Houston New York, Billy and I believe LA and not after you get those outside dreads done. You see, I just clip them up put them up. I want to press that hair down into the glue better. I'M gon na take my blow-dryer using cool air only and I'm gon na press that down into the hair, just to make sure that that glue is drying. Those dreads are stuck on. They really work. So now you see that I got my outside dreads done now. What I'm gon na do is I'm taking my black hair glue with the black hair whoo. I'M just gon na go in, and I'm gon na feel the rest of that cap up with a little glue and I'm gon na start to lay the dredge right inside of this Union. So fill up that fill up the whole entire cap of glue and then you're gon na do the same thing with your dreads. You want to comb out the exact same amount of new growth, and when you get to this point, you can lay as many pieces as you want. If you want to speed the process up, you see right here. I have what like three or four pieces that I'm laying down it's gon na help to speed the process up. Definitely, and you see I'm laying them so they fall out outwards. I don't want to land, have fall into the glue. So you see I'm just gon na work. My way, I'm working my way around basically sort of like I did when I did the first unit when I had the hair on the track and I kind of went around into a circle all the way up into the middle. I'M gon na follow that same exact technique and I'm gon na you know get that you can get it to where it goes and just going to leave a little space and I'll close it off in the middle. So you lay those hairs down and then just move your hands just like I did it right there and when I do this, I like to lay you know somewhere between two and four pieces at a time, you're just doing one. It'S gon na take a long time to do it, but you know sometimes sometimes I will put one wait for the most time. Most of the time, I'm we use two to three or four pieces to lay at a time again make sure that new growth is combed out all at the same length. You don't want one unit to have no new growth in another unit to have a whole bunch of new growth. You want to match up and look as a as possible, so try to make it even and again, with this black hair glue when you put the black hair blue on, let it dry a little bit. So you see when I first put it on and it was like it was black, but it was light now you can see it and it started to get a little bit darker and it's looking. You know it's looking dry, that's how you want to get that. It'S just like the ghost bond you want it to be attacking up to where you put the hair on its take, so you don't have to sit down babysit it if you try to put if you try to put the glue and then try to put the Hair on, as soon as you move move your finger away, that hair is gon na fall off and then you're gon na be stuck with a hair. You know full of glue a piece of hair full of glue, so let it let it become tacky enough. You see how I'm just pressing pulling it down and then the hairs is taken right there. You know your first time just take your time. There'S no need to ever a rush to this. You know it's just it's all about patience and time and practice. My suggestions to everybody is just go: get go, get some mannequins mannequins. You can go in Amazon, I'll link, some mannequins on Amazon down in the description below you guys can go, buy those they're like 15 20 dollars, and then you can practice these man units on them as many times as you want. Okay, I got three or four mannequins that I put hair on and I'll take the hair off and, oh, you know, give them a different style, so you don't have to it's not like you're buying the mannequin and you're gon na use it one time you use That mannequin as many times as you want, but definitely get some practice on it before you go and you start doing it on real people's hair, you can see how the judge is starting to come together. Really, I'm just working my way around. Just you know, I don't have it. I don't have all my Jets falling backwards. You want to work your way around, so you have dress falling backwards, just going to the side and just falling forward again, because you want to make it look as natural as possible. No, like I say, just, follow around in a circle and then you get to that spot. So we only have one or two more pieces of hair dye can fit on the head and you just close it up. So you see where I'm at right now. I'Ve got about two or three pieces left and I'm just placing it in holding it pulling it. This is probably one of the more I have. I have fun doing these Union had a lot of fun doing this unit. This one I don't get to do. Dread units as much as I like to they're a little bit more work. That'S had a little bit more time. This unit probably takes two and a half hours I'd, say and for something like this I'll charge about three hundred dollars. So now I took it all. The hair down what I'm doing here, I'm just making sure that the hair is compressed into the glue really well before I start cutting it. Like I said on the mannequin I had I had it to where I can. Actually, you know pick it up and you know juggle it around by its hair and the one they wouldn't fall off. That'S how strong this glue is. So you see I'm just picking the hair up in sections, I'm just compressing it down, making sure it's in the glue and then you can take a blow dryer and you can blow-dry it as well. My basically is picked it up in four sections so now to trim it up. I'M just tie the hair up, got my wall magic clips and I'm gon na start on the front. Hairline gnomes are gon na start to trim it down to where I can start to see some of the natural scale. There'S not a lot of cutting down to do with this unit, because really are you doing? Is those hairs that you put on the side? You'Re gon na blend those into the natural hair, so you can see here you can watch this process. Does that go through it? There'S really not a lot to explain. All I'm do is cutting down on it. You see, I might come up a little bit, but for the most part, I'm gon na stay coming down and be careful to not cut off any of the dreads. If you do on accident, or one of size happen to fall off, just put some more glue in that spot and put it back on, so you see again coming down on it just blending that in and that's why I said you want to put a little Bit of glue on the natural hair and let it hang over so then you can just blend it right down into the real hair, getting this process just take your time, like I said first, I got other judges coming out. I said this unit is the unit that had a lot of new growth, the next one I'm gon na put out, I'm not sure if I'm put up the baby dread unit next, those two, the more neat trades. I haven't made my mind up on that yet, but both of both of them be out soon enough. Yeah, I'm just taking off a little bit of hair at a time being patient just trying to get to blend down into that natural hair. As best as you can and like it, like in my previous videos, you're gon na use some color I'll use my kiss expression to come back. I'M not gon na use a lot of it, but just a little bit to come in and help more natural. You see how it's really starting to come together and it actually looks like these dreads is coming out. It is the actual scalp, so that's the best overshooting and I would take my walk Detailers number going and just where I created that a hairline in the beginning. I'M just gon na stay on that and I'm just gon na line em up on that. Remember wherever there's glue, you're, not gon na be able to cut so you know you're cutting right in front of the glue and again make sure you get over and get up so my book Melton's website the links down in the description below the websites. Great already. He has a hats and shirts. He was a. He was a military, veteran and 15 15 percent of the proceeds go towards veterans of mental health and so know he's selling the hats and shirts for a good cause. Again you can go over. The website has the whole story and everything that the company is involved, so they definitely go over and check him out. Support. Support on that he's. Uh he's not heard you selling stuff for a good cause. So here's my details just know just try to keep a natural line. Just you know it's really. The same technique is if you were lining up somebody that had real goods. You know just a bit of a real haircut line up and now after I get done lineup, I'm just gon na go ahead and get it to the haircut. The white line you see on this vertical bar just take some rubbing alcohol and you can just wipe that right off. I'M not gon na place any hair there. Really. I just made that as a guideline for myself with wearing the laying hair so again like when you get into the haircut right so juicy it's gon na disappear out in show, and I wiped it away. I think it was that big of a deal just just a guide and I'm gon na wipe it off before I go in and I doing this fade, my wall Detailers turn them around, make my first kind of line and then I'm gon na go ahead and On my fade out this guy my side by my half guard on I'm on my other Detailers they're, not my vetoes, my magic Motors, getting my clickers confused and big stuff, but yeah. So I'm doing just working out line up. So I started with the magic clip blade all the way close with the half guard on made our guide line, and I opened it up half way. That'S where I'm at right now and I'm just knocking out that next weight line that I created, I'm hoping them all the way up, I'm just gon na come in and you know continue to blend up the rest of that line. So right here I have my number one guard on just lemonade: the rest of that hair into the top she's really kind of cleaning up that both good that's up there. I'M just gon na work that work that guard, not that I'll try to make a smooth transition into the top ribbons is using a lot of the corners of my clippers kind of knock around a little dark spots. I see and again, if you you know, question is just use your mirror. Your mirror is going to show you every every spot that you need to blend out and now just took my guard off and I will work on blending out that bottom line. The initial guideline that I made with my walkie Taylor, so I have my magic club all the way close, I'm just gon na start to tap off their lines. It was hitting right at it, keep my clip there flesh to his head and then I'm just gon na start to work that blade up. Just like I did my guards when I start with my clipper all the way close and I go halfway up and all the way up, so I'm using the same exact technique with no guard off. You can see that lines starting to pop right out of there. This really always take a haircut again haircuts an important part. Again. I put the hair on first. All new is that do I need to cut after I had the hair off so now, I'm gon na take my air compressor, my kiss expressing it, and I get a lot of questions about what the mixture is. All of this is black. This Express mixed with rubbing alcohol, it's a 50/50 mix and then I'm just gon na go in and I'm just gon na hit up a few spots. I'M not gon na use a ton of color in this video, like I'd like to try to stay away from using this and cutting my man. We just because I wanted to look more natural when you start throwing a whole bunch of color on there. That'S when I feel, like you know, a whole bunch of fibers and stuff. That'S why I feel like the National book kind of disappears, so I'll use a little expression on the side right. You see it didn't, have a lot of hair and so I'll just try to make it work the best, the best that I can with it. And then it really are just fine spots and hit up a little color and just try to blend it in and make it look make it look natural now the color kiss Express you use, it all depends on on the hair of the client. You know whatever color is the client it clients, hair, is or whatever client hair you put on. You try to match it up as best as you can so yeah. That'S really all there is to this unit.
