No okay, so this is the waste closure from Princess hair shop and it's the closure that I'll be using and you're going to want to part your natural hair, where you want the part on the closure to be so. I want a side part. So what I'm going to do is just line it up on my head. I lined the closure in the middle, so it's equal on both sides and then I what the side parts either side part here and I'm just going to part right there so look sideways. I'M just gon na part it right there and you want to part it where you're gon na wear your closure, mainly because this will give it a more natural-looking effect, as opposed to parting it in the middle and then wearing the side. Part so yeah all you're gon na do is part. It try to part it about four inches back or as long as the closure is going backwards. Okay, okay, guys we're back with the finished product of the braids. So basically, what I did is just repeated the same vertical braiding pattern on this side of her head and then I braided the loose ends together and it goes all the way to the back of her head and then she'll use these braids to sew the wig On to and then the middle, you really don't have to worry about this. You want to make them a little bit flatter if you have straight hair but we're using curly hair. So I just did three big braids in the middle and you can just stick the loose ends under the wig when you finish sewing it on and that's pretty much it. Let me give you a front view, and this is the part where the part of the closure will go right here: alright, guys, okay, so what you're going to want to do is you're going to like to line the closure in the hair line up with risk Out where you want parted, so I'm going to line it up to here and notice. I don't have any Harold's out except my baby here in the front, so I'm just going to start sewing it after I line it up, and I start with this side and end up on this side. So when I get to this side, I will pull it. So it will lay flatter it's hard to do this on camera, so I'm just going to start over here and go under and then put the needle through the like the plastic. Whatever outline butter, it is the flat thing and pool, and I'm just going to start all around here and when I get to this side, I will show you how I pull it. Okay, so I saw this side down and now I have to sew the other side down, so I'm just going to when I get over here. All I do is I pull it very tight and then sew it now, as you can see, so I'm going to attempt to do this on regular speed and not speed it up, but um. Okay, it's really hard to do this in the camera, but you're just gon na you know so it like you regularly do okay! So when you get up here, I slowed up to there. We get up here. You see in this part, you're gon na, want to pull it and pull it and sew it down as close to the front of your head as possible, which I'm not the perfect seller or anything. So it takes me a while. I don't even know what the needle is right now there. Let me try this again. My hands are still fix. I did put oil on my braids to prevent it from getting dry. So there you go, you want to pull it. So it's flat down like that. As you can see how flat it is: okay, okay, so once you have your clothes on, as you can see, I have my own um ignore all this right now, so I'm not done with it. I know that it's like a reddish, pink, color and I'll show. You what I do to get rid of that, but your what I want to put your you put it on next, so what I do is just I take the hair, put it up in a plane tail. This is my! U part right here and you're just going to put it on around your own lace, the closure, so I'm just going to go ahead and slow that down okay. So I have the you card online and I did not show all of it down yet because I got to dye my hair living the sublime operating it ombre of this color, the first time I never uses color. So I'm gon na I'm read it when it's on my head, then I'm going to take it off to wash chicks. I don't wan na get my bracelet because I just got it done usually I'll wash it with the with the Omni part on my head, but I'm now gon na show you how I like blended - and I know the hair. The two hair patterns are different and they're, not blended right now. So what I do first is I use my foundation makeup because I'm not a professional at bleach Chinese nights and I never come out the color of my skin. So I end up using foundation. If I just take the foundation use one of these put it on there separate it by the part, and then I just brush foundation on in the middle of it to make it more believable like it's my real scalp, so yeah I do that. So you can definitely tell the difference and then, if some of the foundation gets on the hair, you just use your hands and wipe it away like. So you see that then I take the coconut milk styling cream put a little bit my finger like that and then I blend will not blend it. I put it on to leave out and, as you can see, I didn't show all the hair down so yeah and then I just take it and brush it to the side and then also I will take Bobby's cans and, on a part day part this um Lace, closure and I don't have the front of the hair braid it down. So I take the bobby pins where that is, and I move it as far up as I can so I'm moving as far as of us like far the best I can and then I place a bobby pin in there and I usually place two to give A really secure hold, then I will go to another part. Get on this side part it again or is it this piece party, Oh Pierce, step part it again, pull it up as far as it can go and then place another about your hand. So yeah, please ignore this piece here. It needs to be flattened or something: oh gosh, okay, so basically thats how i do my closure just ignore that piece, but this is my closure, I'm trying to rid of that line of demarcation, so yeah. So it's kind of hot in my house, my hair is a little nasty but yeah. This is how I do the closure, ignore it, my hair, because it's not you know that I'm really. I just put it on so yeah. This is what it looks like. I'M so yeah! That'S how I do my lace closures for y'all that we're wondering I'll do a video tomorrow. So I'm about to color the hair. This color and I'll show you what it looks like after my own break this color, and I do already have a tutorial on how my ombre my hair, so it checks out if you want to learn how to ombre and I'll, show you tomorrow. What my hair looks like like that and everything, so I hope this video helped um. It'S pretty easy. I don't think people ask if I put the hair behind the hairline and I don't think this is behind the hairline cuz. I don't have any of my hair. All I have out is just baby here in the front, so yeah that's about it. I don't be any questions or comments. Let me know and I'll see you on another video bye. You

PhalPal: Hello I've got somwhat of an embarrasing question for you:I have very thin bright blonde hair which started to thin out and now I'm left with not only thin but also low density hair,which-to be honest-pains me a lot.Do you think,that this hair system could be a solution for me or would it stress my remaining hair too much? Thank you for your time and best wishes to you!
LaJoya Rachelle: They sell it in alot of different places... Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, and I've even seen it in my local beauty supply store!
Simone Cheree: Two questions, I hope I can get a response it seems like I never do on some people's! Anyways, 1, did you have to "make" the U Part or did it just come already made? My second question is how much did it cost you overall for all of the hair. Thanks!

MADEINJERSEYYY: @xohellokittypinklove Hey Morgan. I was wondering what type of cap do you use for your u-part wigs, spandex cap or dome cap? I dont know if you stated it in a previous video or not. I tried to look through your previous videos for the answer but no luck LOL please respond :)
Miss Jaii: Can you buy closures at local beauty supply stores ?
Youlovetheo: where did you get your lace closure from?
Stunna Beauty: It looks bomb gurl!! :) when u sewed down ur U-part wig, did u sew it onto the lace closure edge or did u just sew it on2 the braids themselves?? (if that doesnt sound confuzing...lol)
megsymone: do you sew the back and sides of the closure down? & if so how with the loose braids in the back??
Krista Aquila: i tried to like your video but it said ratings are disabled but i love this video it really helped me with installing my lace closure..ive had bad experiences with installing closures even up to the point where i had to take my entire head down and start over.
Cee Obrien: Great job! What type of hair did you use?
GeeGee's GlamTV: Where can I order a straight lace closure?
ronnie g: this is prob the best i have on the YT..wow..it looks so natural..what i do is get full lace wigs and make them into 3/4 wigs but just cutting down the middle put wig clip in it..it lokks just like a 3/4 wig and i have very little leave out..i luv it..i wish i wasnt so shy to make a tut or i would its not hard...just me sharing hair info is all :) u look great as always...bye!! :)
DeAsia Payne: the part is the main focus & I like it on U at the end U actually blended it pretty well I'm gonna get one & use the same method. but the curls make it look kinda weird to me but that's me if I where u I probably would've tried straightening it but it looks good girl!! xoxo
Kapriatta-Katice: this was so helpful
MADEINJERSEYYY: @xohellokittypinklove can you please make a tutorial on the updated version on how you apply your lace closure now. In you newer videos you say you apply it differently now.
Keya J.: This is the best closure I've seen
itsjustnotreal: Yes! Finally I've been waiting on this :)
My Girls Room: did you purchase the closure with the side part in it? or did you do it yourself?
Oyin: this was really helpful
simplylele21: Dose the bobby pins hold it really well and dose it bother you?
scalle2009: What is the type/name of the closure you are using? Did you have to bleach the knots?
angelofmercy21: could I bond this as well? right now with my hair length and me currently growing it out I have to get my weaves glued in so can I glue all of this in? also as far as the closure part I want mine in the middle so you can basically place your part where ever you want right? you dont haveto get a specific kind of closure to center a certain part of your head you just place it wherever you choose?
Lioami L: Your so pretty and it looked realistic!
dancintikki2007: How long did your hair last using this method?
