A quick intro to why trichology matters in SMP. You’ll learn how understanding hair loss, follicle structure, and skin anatomy helps you make better design, depth, and density decisions throughout the treatment.

In this lesson, we break down the science behind hair loss and the structure of the skin. You’ll learn how follicles grow, why thinning happens, and how the skin’s layers respond to pigment—giving you the foundation needed for precise, natural SMP work.

A quick intro to hairline design. You’ll learn what makes a hairline look natural, how different shapes work for different clients, and how these fundamentals guide every SMP treatment.

In this lesson, we break down the most common hairline shapes, how to read facial structure, and how to design natural, age-appropriate hairlines. You’ll learn balance, flow, and the subtle details that matter.

Practice the fundamentals of designing a straight hairline using simple paper mapping. This exercise builds your eye for symmetry, spacing, center alignment, and proportion before moving to mannequins or live clients.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to sketch a natural, balanced round hairline—one of the most requested SMP styles. I’ll guide you through proportion, symmetry, curvature control, and how to avoid the most common mistakes beginners make.
By the end, you’ll know exactly how to map, shape, and refine a clean round hairline on paper before bringing the technique to real clients.

Practice designing a natural winged hairline on paper. This exercise teaches you how to create outward angles, smooth curvature through the temples, and balanced proportions for a realistic winged effect.

A quick overview of how to take your hairline skills from paper to mannequin. You’ll learn placement, curvature, and flow using full 3D head forms.

Learn how to design and draw a natural, symmetrical round hairline on a mannequin. This lesson focuses on curvature, temple flow, soft transitions, and the balanced arc that defines a realistic round hairline.

Learn how to design a balanced, natural-looking winged hairline on a mannequin. This lesson focuses on angle flow, temple curvature, and creating the subtle outward “wing” effect clients often request.

A quick overview of what makes female hairlines unique—softer arches, curved temples, and blended transitions.

In this lesson, we explore feminine contouring, temple curvature, softness, irregularities, and how to avoid harsh or masculine edges.

A quick overview of how SMP develops over multiple sessions. You’ll learn why layering is essential for realism, and how healing stages affect your approach.

In this lesson, we break down exactly how to manage your client's journey across multiple appointments. SMP is a process, not a one-time event, and managing these sessions correctly is the key to longevity and realistic results.

In this first exercise, you’ll create your foundation layer using even spacing and clean placement. This builds the structure you’ll rely on in later layers.

In this exercise, you’ll build your second layer directly over the first. Focus on maintaining even spacing, soft transitions, and visualizing triangles between impressions for balance.

Finish your pattern with a third layer, refining the blend and keeping spacing smooth and even.

Learn how real follicles grow in patterns so you can recreate realistic density and flow in SMP.

In this lesson, you’ll learn the natural swirl patterns, crown flow, density differences, and micro-irregularities found in real hair. Understanding these patterns helps you recreate believable SMP results.
