Ashley Rochelle Hair

A little behind-the-chair education ✨

One of my favorite techniques is placing the closure behind the natural hairline and sewing it securely into the foundation. No glue on the forehead, no worrying about sweating and the lace lifting, and no dealing with that annoying itching from adhesive. 🙌🏽

And the finished look?? 😮‍💨🔥 Natural, secure, and seamless.

I’m back behind the chair and currently accepting clients! Come sit with me. 🫶🏽

Paying attention to small details like these is what separates a basic sew-in from a professional install. When your bundle runs out mid row, don’t stack the weft. Connect the next weft beside it so the track stays flat and the install remains clean from start to finish.

Teaching on-base placement for a state board roller set with my teen cosmetology students at Righteous Hair Lab. Proper tension and positioning creates the volume and foundation every roller set needs.

Part two of our Teen Self Love Valentine’s Day experience at Righteous Hair Lab. Tonight wasn’t about hair. It was about real conversations, accountability, healing, vision, and reminding these young women who they are and who they’re becoming. Watching them speak life over themselves, release what no longer serves them, and step into confidence is why I do this work. I’m grateful to lead, mentor, and pour into the next generation because this right here is bigger than cosmetology.

I planned this special evening for my teens. Normally we’d be focused on cosmetology, but I told them to leave their tools and mannequin heads at home and show up in pink or red for a Valentine’s Day party. They thought it was just a celebration, but I had something much more intentional planned for them.

The evening was beautiful. Real work was done. And hearing them say they left better than when they came… that right there reminded me I’m walking in my purpose.

I thank God for the vision, the courage to walk in it, and the space to build something bigger than me. Part two coming next. Like & Share!!
