How To : Make Your 4X4 Closure Wig Look Like A Frontal (Very Detailed) Ft Hairsmarket

What'S good, you guys, it's your girl, tracy, and i am back again with another video in this video. I'M gon na show you guys how i customize my closure wigs to look like a frontal. I picked up some steps over the years things that i like and dislike about bleaching my knots. So if you guys are interested, i'm going to show you how i bleach my knots and how i pluck my closure. Wigs stay tuned. If you guys are interested we're going to hook this wig up okay, but before we get into the video, if you guys not subscribed to my channel already, please don't forget to subscribe. Please like this video and comment, any new ideas you have for me and with that being said, let's get right into this video. So, first and foremost, i just want to show you guys how the wig is looking now, if you guys can look closely, you can see a bunch of little dots. Those are all knots. Okay, that's what we're trying to get rid of. So the plan is to lighten it a little bit, so it can kind of be my skin color so that it will look like scalp instead of those little dots that you see now so today we are going to use powder lightener and 50 volume developer. I will recommend using about 30 volume. Developer 30 volume developer is a little bit slower. So if you put 10 volume developer and lightner together, the lightning process will be extremely slow, but 50 volume developer and powder lightener. It will be extremely fast, so i'll say if you are new, try to be around the middle, which will be 30 volume, developer and lightener. So starting off, i like to use just a little bit of developer and one little spoonful of powder lightener. So remember, you do not want the consistency to be super thick, but at the same time you don't want to be super watery. It'S better for the consistency to be too thick and you add a little bit of developer than having it too watery and having to keep adding powder lining because, honestly for a closure, wig, even a frontal wig, you do not need that much product. So, as you guys can see here, it's too thick, i add a little bit more developer to lighten up the consistency. I'Ll say the best consistency you can have is a toothpaste, consistency, one that is thick but not too thick, because you want it to still go through the lace a little bit, but you don't want it to be too watery because, first of all, you will not Be able to control it, it'll just be going everywhere and second off it will bleed through the lace way too much. As you guys can see, the lightener is not falling off of my brush, it's very thick, where it's not falling off, but at the same time it will easily push through the lace. So now we're doing the first layer onto the lace. It looks like i'm pushing hard, but i am not pushing hard at all the first layer. You want it to be very, very light. Our main thing right now is just putting the liner on there. I am not even trying to push it for the lightning to go through now, i'm going to flip the wig over and see how much went through. If you guys can look very closely, you can still see the very little dots all of those dots we want to get rid of every dot you see is not going to be lightened. When you rinse this lightener off, you will still see all the mounts and we do not want that. So now we're going to turn it back around we're going gon na add a little bit more pressure, not too much a very small amount of pressure just so it can bleed through a little bit more. As you can see here, i'm pushing just a little bit harder, but it looks like i'm pushing very hard, but i'm not you guys just add a little bit more pressure so that the lightener can bleed through a little bit and only cover those little dark balls. Now i'm going to check it and see if all the dots are covered for every dot, that's not covered. It'S not going to be lightened. Now, remember it doesn't have to be perfect. You can still have a couple little dots there, but just make sure most of it is covered. I like to make sure that i focus on the front, because the front is the most important part to me. So if you guys can look closely, you don't see any dots at all. Now it has been about 10 minutes. I'M just checking it to see. If i see a brown hue - and i think i kind of see a brown hue, i'm gon na wait about two more minutes and come back and check it one more time. If you are using 30 volume developer, you might have to wait a little bit longer than 10 minutes, which is fine, it's better to be safe than sorry now i can really see the brown hue, so i know that it is about my skin color. I don't want to lighten it too much, because i am dark skinned, so it wouldn't make sense for me to lighten it a lot and then have to go back and darken it a little bit. So you kind of look at the roots it kind of has like a brown tint. If that makes any sense now i rested off, i did not use shimmering lights. The purple shampoo. I did not use that at all. I just use regular shampoo because to me i feel like when i use the purple shampoo, my lace kind of turns gray. I have like a great tint to it. I hate so i like to just use regular shampoo and then put makeup on my lace. If my lace isn't matching my skin color, if you guys can see the before and after it is blending into my skin way more, the hue is kind of the color of my skin. That tint is definitely the color of my skin, so i don't need to do anything else to that and i will literally just add makeup to the lace. So the lace can blend into my skin, but you see how you don't see any more little dots. So it just looks like it's going right out of the lace. Now i'm going to push the hair back very taut, make sure it's nice and smooth all the hair pushed backwards. So for the first row my camera turned off and i didn't realize it. So i did the first row, but if you guys can kind of see i kind of skip a space, i pluck then skip a space plug then skip the space plugged into his face. You want to make sure that you have that pattern. It'Ll be very important for the next step, so now you're going to take this entire section off as far back as you pluck. So i'm going to take this entire section off and make sure you push it forward and combat the rest of the hair. So, for this part, it's kind of hard to see for every space that i plucked previously, i'm not going to plug and for every space that i did pluck, i won't plug, but that kind of makes any sense. So this is called the bricklay method. So, to show you a little bit, i didn't plug this section in the first row, so i'm plucking right above it and i did plug this section, so i'm not gon na plug above it i'm gon na plug next to it. If that kind of makes any sense, so in the first row, wherever you did plug right above it, you will not plug and you move to the side a little bit where you didn't plug and in the second row you will plug it's kind of hard to See and explain, but in the next row it will be a lot easier to see. Okay. So now i'm going to section this side off once again now i am on my third section i like to do about three sec, three to four sections. If my wig is super super full, i might do five sections, but i try not to go over five because i don't want to over pluck my wigs. So it's kind of easy to see now i'm plucking right above all the thick section i plug here. So i'm not gon na plug right above it. I didn't plug here, so i'm gon na plug right above it if that kind of makes any sense. So i'm plucking right over the section that i didn't plug in the first row. It doesn't have to be perfect, but this way just helps you to not over pluck your wig like over. Pluck one section, it kind of gives you a guideline, so you're not plucking too much in one section, just try and follow that method. The best you can so this wig is kind of full, not too full, but just a little bit full. So i am going to do one more row. I am going to do a fourth row, really quickly push the hair forward and push the rest back. I honestly didn't really have to do a fourth row, but it still came out really nice. Now, i'm on my fourth row. So, okay, now that i am done, i'm going to push all the hair back, i'm going to be wearing a middle part. So i like to kind of part it in the middle and let the hair fall where it normally would fall to see how it would look for me. I like to see those streaks like those lines in my lace, so i'm just going to touch it up. Just a little bit and pluck diagonally just to make those lines now i am plucking very, very, very lightly. I'M not plucking hard at all because you do not want to over pluck. I just want to see those lines that i'm making so look a little bit more natural, but i am not putting pressure at all like i am just lightly lightly plucking. You can actually skip this step. This is just a step i like to do. It just helps my lace, look a lot more natural, but you really don't have to do this step. Now, i'm going to take a very, very, very small section and push it forward, and this will be used as my baby hairs. But if you do not like baby hairs, you will still take this very small section, but you will pluck this entire section off. You don't want to see any straight lines on your lace. Plucking, this little section off will give you a much much more natural look. If you're wearing no baby hairs, but i want baby hairs, so i'm not going to do that. If you want your baby hairs to be a little bit more, you can always add more hair, take a bigger section and use as your baby hairs. But i think this is enough for baby hairs. Thank you guys so much for watching this is the complete look and also, let me know if you guys want me to do this on a frontal wig, and i will see you guys in my next video peace.
