Hair Prep And Tips For Coloring A Lace Closure (Malaysian Kinky Straight)

Hey guys welcome back to my channel, I'm as promised, I told you that I was gon na show you guys what I'm going to do to prepare this hair for my install. So once again, this is the Malaysian kinky straight hair from majestic tresses, and I have to 20 inches here. I have an 18 inch and a 14 inch closure. I'M on my counter in my bathroom and all I did to prepare my services put down a white plastic bag, a trash bag to protect my counters from the hair dye. I have a wide toothed comb that I'm just going to use to evenly distribute the color in the hair and to dye the hair, I'm using the dark and lovely permanent hair dye, and it's in jet black see if my camera will adjust. Okay, me yeah. So it's the dark and lovely I've used this before to dye my own hair and also to dye some extensions that I've used before so once again, this is the hair 220s 118 and a 14 inch closure. I have not died. The knots of this closure I'm still debating on whether I want to do that or whether I just want to use tweezers to clear out the knots when my part will be and then camouflage it and conceal it with a concealer or foundation. The color of the net is not bad, so it may be able to blend in with my scalp, but we shall see so I'm going to just go ahead and apply the the hair dye on the hair. I have not done anything else to the hair, yet I haven't co-wash it or anything. So I'm gon na apply the dye on the hair and then I'll come back and I'll show you what the hair looks like after that. Alright, alright guys. So I'm back and I've just finished coloring the hair. I ended up using three boxes of the jet black dye. So if you plan on dying this hair make sure you use three boxes now. I want, at this point, something's very specific out in the way that I dye my lace closure. So, as you can see, everything else was dyed on the cover of the plastic bag. But as I was dyeing, the hair, you see that there's color hair color on the bag. So when you're dyeing your um, your lace, your lace, closure and if you're using the same surface as you use to dial other pieces of your hair, you want to make sure that you protect your legs. So before I start to dye my legs closure. I laid this piece of paper under here, which is what the gloves come attached to inside the color kit, and I got my hair on there now when you die your lace closure, you want to make sure that you use a very light hand, especially when you Get up here, um to dye the hair. That'S attached directly to the lace. The ends are okay, but when you get up here, you want to be very gentle, because you don't want to press the dye into the lace that will mess up your legs. Okay, so um I went in there with a very light hand. You want to make sure that you actually pick up the pieces of the hair and put the dye on it, instead of just squeezing the dot all over the hair and then patting it in with your hands, because that pressure could quite possibly push the color through The lace, and also you want to not put globs so, especially when you get to the very perimeters it's best. Well, what I do is, I just put the color right on my finger on my glove finger and I use it and I just Pat it on to the perimeter of the hair just to protect the legs. And if you need to manipulate the hair, while you're dyeing gate touch the outer corners of the legs, I mean you're going to cut this off anyway, so it's okay, and so now. Another thing that I do with my legs is, after I'm finished, applying the color. I take the lace and I flip it over and that's just another precaution that I take just in case. I was a little heavy-handed in any places and - and I may have squeezed and I have a glob of hair dye there. I don't want it to, as it sits for so long for gravity to pull it down and forth to seep into my lace, so I flip it over and I let it continue to process that way so that in another color, that's close to the lace would We'Ll be pulled down by gravity in it'll ruin my legs, okay, so I just wanted to share that part with you, and so here are the other bundles. I just had them balled up on top of each other, and so what I'm actually gon na do with this hair, not my legs closure. Just this hair is I'm gon na pull the plastic bag up and over it so that, while it processes it stays moist and maybe the warmth from the from the bag. Will you know help it process better, but more so because I don't want the dye to dry out on the hair while it's processing. So I covered that up and I'm not going to cover my legs once again, because I don't want the dyes to be pressed into the hair. Although you could just get a plastic bag or some plastic and just lay it right across this area and that you know I actually am gon na - do that, I'm just gon na get a regular grocery brought back for maybe Walmart or something, and I'm just gon Na lay it right over here, but I'm not going to put it over the legs. I just don't want to do anything that will disturb or destroy that lace, because I don't know how to fix it. So I don't want to mess it up. Okay, so that's that that's what I did um, I put the color on using my hands in the mixing bottle using the applicator that it came with. I didn't do anything special, I'm just use the bottle that it came with use a very light hand with my legs and wham bam. There you go so I'm gon na let this process for about 20 35 minutes, I'm sorry, 20 to 30 minutes and then I'll call wash the hair and I'll come back and show you guys what it looks like after it's been dyed and co washed. All right! Alright guys so now the color has sat on the hair for about 35 minutes, so I'm going to go ahead and do a very light shampoo and then a deep condition on the hair. So what I'm going to do? First, to show you guys how I washed my closures when I do color them also, this is another technique that I used to protect my legs. I forgot to mention when dyeing the hair um, as you saw earlier in the earlier clip, I lift them a little twist ties on it that the hair was sent to me in and since I was just dying to get a basic black color. I didn't take those twist ties off, but you want to make sure that you get in between the hair, so lay it out, spread the hair out and get the color and really work it in there, because that hair is very, very dense. And then, if you just you know working in on the surface layers, it's quite possible that the color will not be evenly distributed and you won't have color throughout the hair. So I just wanted to put that out there. So I'm gon na go ahead and start my legs closure. I'M sure you guys already know how to wash the color out of a bundle of hair. So this is what I really wanted to show you guys. So I'm just going to pick up my legs closure and I'm gon na put it in the sink and I'm going to, as you can see, I'm bringing the water at the top okay, I didn't flip it over and let it run the other way and the Reason that I'm doing this is because I don't want the color to run onto the lathe, run down the legs and mess up the color of the legs. So that's why I'm running it this way, and I'm just going to do that and it runs a little bit. I'M going to place my shampoo on top of the lace this way and I'm going to work the shampoo down the hair working through the legs and down to the ends of the hair and that's once again just a technique that I used to keep from getting Dye on the part of the lace that might show when I, when I parted in style, okay, so so I finished washing the hair and watching the dye of the hair and conditioning it, and this is what it looks like the dye took really well. I know this isn't like a major difference from what it looked like when it was sent to me, but it was brown at first and now it is jet black and the diner take pretty good. I look at my elephants back there say: hey and the Finch trucks up. Alright, one thing that I did notice that, while this hair was wet, is that the ends of the hair are straighter and silky. Now, I'm not saying that this is a bad thing or a good thing. I can't be a judge of that yet because I haven't worn the hair, so I don't know how. But you know discipline to the style ability of the hair or the look of the hair once it's installed. It'S just simply an observation, so all of the hair is textured all the way down, as you can see, and then, when you get to the ends, not so much so you know it's kind of straightened, you can see it even better. Now that it's wet okay, so now what I'm going to do is simply hang the hair up on a hanger, a hanger apiece and I'm gon na, let it dry and after it dries I'm going to start working on my wig and I'll use a separate video For that hair, I used the cream of nature shampoo and I like the shampoo, because it's so faint free. So I use this on my natural hair as well. It makes your hair very, very, very, very soft, because it's very moisturizing and it's a very light shampoo and I didn't - I didn't - go hard on the shampooing, because the hair was clean. I just wanted to get the residual hair dye out of the hair and to condition the hair. I went old-school and I use mane and tail deep, moisturizing conditioner, a very inexpensive conditioner and I use this to co, wash the hair after my light shampoo. So I hope you guys. I hope this is a little bit helpful, especially when it came to how I died and watch my closure to protect it from being ruined by the hair color. So I hope that was helpful. Please stay tuned and for the video of me creating the wig installing it and maybe styling it all. The information for this hair will be in the description box below.
