Tips for maintaining a hair unit

[@SunnyEscapes0311]

I watched a previous video you made for maintenance that focused primarily for cleaning the two base types. It was incredibly helpful. This one is even more informative for maintaining the hair itself. I wear a curly style. The unit can last several months if you treat it with care and like money matters. I use a quality, gentle shampoo and conditioner made specifically for curly hair. I also use a detangling conditioner to detangle the unit BEFORE I shampoo it to gently comb it out. Typically, I fine mist it with distilled water daily and apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner to finger comb it daily to refresh the style. It looks amazing. I've been wearing units since June 2022. I wear tape only, and when done correctly, the hold is incredible. I work out 5 times a week. For my oily head, it lasts securely for 2 weeks, but I make it last 3. It takes me about 4-5 hours to remove, clean, and shampoo/condition the unit, and then clean my scalp, shampoo/condition, and cut my hair, and then finally reaapply the tape. I usually do it in 2 steps; one night and then the next day. It's work, but it's worth it. I'm thankful to be able to have the hair/hairstyle I want.

Great info …thanks for the comment

[@xplorercolorado9224]

Can you workout daily with the unit?

[@SunnyEscapes0311]

@xplorercolorado9224 Yes, I live in the gym. I walk in the heat of the summer outdoors. And, I'm oily, particularly my face and scalp. I use tape instead of the glue as well.

Where did you get your hair from

[@astrickland3120]

About how much initially to get a (Tape) hair unit just a brush cut length?

Thank you for doing this video. I really learned a lot from watching this we’re in lace wigs or just wigs. This really helps out. Thank you for taking the time out again, and I feel what you’re saying. I am a human right person too.

[@michaelmehari-i1l]

I was curious about it, always love what you do changing people's life.

[@eafortson]

Love your content Micky. I’m an engineer, and couldn’t help but use that part of my brain to think about a solution. What if the units were 2 stage systems. Where a disposable base stage was glued to the head, and the hair stage was fixed to the base by some other means to protect it from the glue. I’m imagining like a form of Velcro (obviously engineered somehow to make it as flat as possible). I’m just having a thought exercise for fun myself tbh but I’d love to hear feedback from people familiar with the units on how feasible that idea would actually be. Thanks!

[@sarirorsa]

Your idea of a two-stage system for hair units is intriguing and could indeed offer a practical solution. The concept of a disposable base stage that adheres to the head, combined with a separate hair stage attached via a flat, engineered Velcro-like material, is quite innovative. This approach could potentially minimize the direct exposure of hair to adhesive, making the system more comfortable and possibly extending the lifespan of the hair units.

[@sarirorsa]

You may consider specific materials and technologies for the two-stage hair unit system: Base Stage: Material: Medical-grade silicone or polyurethane film (flexible, breathable, hypoallergenic). Adhesive: Skin-safe adhesive like hydrocolloid or silicone adhesive (gentle, non-irritating). Breathability: Micro-perforations for enhanced airflow. Attachment Mechanism: Micro-Velcro: Advanced, low-profile hook-and-loop fasteners (e.g., 3M ultra-thin fasteners). Magnetic Nano-Sheets: Thin, strong magnetic sheets for seamless attachment. Hair Stage: Material: High-quality synthetic hair fibers (e.g., Kanekalon) or human hair. Attachment Surface: Compatible surface for micro-Velcro or magnetic nano-sheets. Additional Features: Antimicrobial Properties: Silver nanoparticles or antimicrobial coatings to prevent bacterial growth.

Very good barber and stylist

[@TW-hb2cr]

Great job! Do you ever pluck some of the hair out as part of the service if the unit is too full while your natural hair has been thinning as you age?

[@ymelove1484]

I'm truly Whole heartily amazed and I feel so proud for you that you are a master Barber. God have his hands all in you, you are amazing. Stay focused, keep up the excellent work . This is my first time seeing your videos. And it won't be the last. I'm very impressed and I have a tear coming out my eyes. I feel so happy for you. Stay blessed. Stay blessed stay focused❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

👑MICKEY👑...thanks for sharing another GREAT informative video. You inspire and lift my spirit out of what I describe as "The Great Depression"😅. Balding..."especially👩🏾‍🦲female," can cause a secure person to feel severely insecure.

[@gporterjr]

If you go the tape route and use a durag daily, would that alleviate the concern of the unit randomly coming off?

[@JizzyRizzy89]

I saw in one of her videos. She put glue on top of the lace tape. To make it last longer.

[@derrickjones8964]

Mickey what advice do have for hair pull-through. I have a friend who says alot of the hairs get pulled through from the opposite side and do you cut them off or just lay them flat and keep it pushing?

[@MickeyDaBarber]

If it’s not a lot of hair I would cut them off so it can stick better …if it a lot of hair coming thru the lace then I would be a little cautious of the hair thinning out on the top

[@derrickjones8964]

@@MickeyDaBarber Thanks!

[@jayerush2002]

What advice would you give someone wanting to do this and what is needed to make sure their scalp isn’t itchy while wearing it?

🤙🏾💯

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

Hey Mickey 😉 I think it’s great that people who have an issue with any type of baldness that there is a better option than that hair plug crap 🙄 I can’t stand it but come on now you gotta maintain it. Not knowing how long the person wore the unit you clearly see how each were maintained. That curly one woulda tested my gangsta fo sho. Suggestion…instead of the wig styrofoam head, you should get one of those beauty school heads. You can use both hands while styling a unit. You can pin the unit down too.

[@MickeyDaBarber]

I can pin it in the foam head too and I do have a professional styling head I just prep my units in this cuz it better for me …remember when I make these videos they are for what I personally feel is better for me ..thank you for your advice ❤

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

[@senghbeh]

@Mickey Da Barber. Thank you for the lessons but sister, name one Palestinian, Arab, Asian, East Asian, Latino, Dominican or African. They do not March with us or for us “African Americans.” Name one time in history where any other human ethnicity’s stood up for us. Arabs still enslave African to this day. I employ Sudanese kinfolk all the time and they have told us some crazy, crazy stories about escaping from the clutches of africans and despicable Arabs. All they do is fight over there. Black folks. We need to focus on us and our brilliant creativity as you demonstrate making a way out of no way. Respectfully submitted.

[@MickeyDaBarber]

As stated in my video i am for all human life …I don’t have to just stand with black ppl ..I stand with all innocent civilians ..you can’t tell someone how to feel about others ..that’s WEIRD…you don’t have to care but I DO #freepalestine #freecongo #freesudan

[@saucems5846]

You’re crazy I’m Muslim and from Africa and we all stood up and marched for George Floyd all up in London and there was dozens of Indian, Arab and those ethnicity marching for him and all the other tragedies that happened to the African Americans
