Lesson Summary

Mareeshia Wilkins, also known as Reeshia Da Barber, presents a tutorial on how to install the HD Wave Unit, aimed at educating future hair unit specialists on non-invasive hair replacement systems. She emphasizes the importance of cleanliness and creating guidelines for installation including the hairline, horseshoe outline, and overall fade. Reeshia demonstrates a drop fade technique and advises starting with a number two guard for a natural transition between the unit and natural hair.

To create a natural hairline, Reeshia recommends using four fingers above the eyebrows as a guide and meticulously lining up for a clean look. She discusses the use of pencils for different skin tones to enhance the appearance of the hairline. The installation process involves applying adhesive such as Ghost Bond or Walker's Tape in the horseshoe area, allowing it to dry clear and tacky before attaching the HD Wave unit made of 100% human hair.

Reeshia stresses the importance of selecting the right hair texture for the client and demonstrates trimming off excess lace before securely attaching the unit to the scalp. She advises blending the unit with the natural hair using a thinning comb and keeping the desired style in mind throughout the process. To finish, she recommends du-ragging and drying the unit thoroughly for a seamless, undetectable hair replacement system.
