This method is only recommended for closures that can be removed regularly (i.e. on a wig)
This is step 2 of how I create a natural part/scalp in my lace closures.
This method does not require the use of any glue, tape, gel, elastic bands, or fabric.
For step 2, I am using the following items:
concealer brush
cream concealer
Gro Protect (protective hair shield) in Transparent/Clear
Spray sealant (optional)
Hair: www.glamourhouseofhair.com Russian Romance Collection, Radiance, Lace Closure in Blow Out
Wig: Perfection Redefined™ by BOSSY Wigs
Welcome back, and so this is part two when to do how to create the natural scalp on a lace closure. This video is going to show you how to get your closer from looking like this and turn it into this. So we're going to create a scalp and we're going to use a closer that we did in the first video, which was bleaching. The knots in your part - and this is the same closure and as you can see, you can see the grits in the lace there couple little knot. Still there they're not too visible what we also want to conceal those as well. So we're going to work with this particular closure and what I'm going to do with this closure is I'm going to flip it upside down and we're going to work on the underside of the folger on the lace. So let's get started so here's the underside of the closure and what I'm using is a concealer brush. You can use any kind of brush that will apply a concealer and I'm using a cream concealer in the shade that matches my skin tone. And so, when we're going to take some of the concealer onto the brush and what I'm doing is I'm applying the concealer to the lace on the underside of the closure and what you can do if this is your first time doing this you're just wearing one Part then you can apply the concealer just where the part is you see. I have the hair parted on the top of the closure. You can just put your finger into that part and apply the concealer where that part is and a little outside of the part. You want to be able to also have the concealer on the nuts that are next to that part. If you want to do a larger area with multiple parts, then you can do a larger area like I am in this video and when you're applying the concealer, as you can see, I'm pushing it in I'm rubbing it in fairly hard onto the lace, because I Want it to be able to push through a little bit on to the other side of the closure, I'm also applying the concealer on the edge of the lace and all the way around to the back of the closure. Just because I would want to make sure that I have ample parting options, and so you can see the top of the lace after applying the concealer. Some of those knots are already covered up. You can stop at this point or you can keep going for those of you that want to continue with this process. We'Re going to move on and start with. Our protective shield can find this at any beauty. Supply store or you can use another product called rub. Tech or any other similar products that are used for protecting your hair while wearing a quick weave. So you can see I'm applying the protective shield on the underside of the lace where I apply the concealer and I'm using the same concealer brush to spread this protective shield all over the lace and making sure to spread it gently with a light hand. Because I don't want to push this product through on to the other side of the lace. I just want to coach the underside. It'S very important that you don't push it through on to the other side of the lace and I'm take taking care to fully coat. The areas where I have applied the concealer now on your first coating, you may see some holes in the lace and that you're not able to cover - and that's perfectly fine, don't stress on covering those holes, because you may end up pushing that product on to the Other side of the lace, if you have any hair that gets caught up in the protective shield, make sure you remove it while it is still wet. Those are the holes that I was talking about. You can dab to try to cover them but, like I said, don't worry too much about covering them on this try. I also did not apply this product to the edge of the lace. This is important if you're doing more than one coat, don't apply it to the edge and, as you can see, while it's still wet. This is what it looks like on the top of the closure we're starting to create our scalp. You can stop at this point. If you like, and if you do make sure you allow this to dry thoroughly and completely, I like to let it dry overnight before you wear it, this is what it looks like. As you can see, it looks like scalp. You can't see the grades anymore. It'S a little shiny, but that's just because it's still wet. So if you would like to continue on to the next step, please continue watching after we've. Let this dry completely we're going to go ahead and apply another layer of that protective shield and doing this to cover the rest of them cold, and it's also going to allow this to last a bit longer on the closure. So I'm applying a little more of a protective shield, not as much as I did on the first layer just a little and I'm just going to go over the whole area, where the concealer is one more time lightly. Ensuring that I don't push it through on to the other side of the lace and I'm taking care to make sure I get those spots where the holes were and, as you can see this time, we're getting those holes covered up very, very well, and you can Also allow it to dry a little and then go back and spread it a little more over the holes to cover them and now on this application, I'm applying a little of the protective shield to the edge of the lace. You do not have to do this if you're concerned about blending the edge of the lace or, if you do want to use adhesive, you don't have to apply anything to the edge. I apply the protective shield to the edge of the lace because it allows me to have better blending with my scalp, and it also allows me and adhesive to keep the closure down when I want it to and I'll show you that, a little later in this Video so once I've applied this last coating of the protective shield, I'm going to allow this to dry overnight and make sure it's completely dry and once it's dry, if you want this to last a bit longer, you can spray a sealant on it. I use patrician and rock matte acrylic spray and I use that to seal the closure, but this is also an optional step. Okay, so after all of that, then this is what we have. This is what the inside looks. Like you hear it, it sounds really hard, but I'm going to show you what it's really looking like right now, maybe use the right color concealer it should match. My issue is: I'm wearing my hair under a scarf for a couple weeks, so my scalp has gotten lighter and if you want to, you can go back over your part on the top with your concealer and I use the angled liner brush just go over a Part and some people like to go on to their scalp with the concealer. My only issue with that is a lot of times. People do it and they don't bleed it out, and so there's a line you want to. If you do that, you need to let it out okay, so you don't look crazy and everybody's not like better. Once you have the sealer, which I was like white line going straight down yeah, so you just want to blend it out, see a head of pieced hair coming out from under my closure, which is why you can see a little black line. Try to see if I can tuck it back up under there, so if you're able to get a perfect match on your concealer, then line will not be an issue. If you are not. What I do is let my concealer brush or my brush and just dab. The brush along that crease, you can just take the opposite in of your brush and hold it there for just a second: that's there, you don't need to hold up press it for too long press it in and there wanna and for those who are asking. This is a rubber house of hair enclosure, lace, closure and the texture is blowout, even though this is a wet during week. Video. These are the radiant's webs from our house of hair, and this is on a perfection: redefined boxy, wig, so yeah. Oh. I hope this video was helpful and let me know if you have any questions for my nose can be tricky the first couple of times you do it, so I do recommend if you try this part of the natural part method which is outside of just the Knob bleaching, if you actually do this part from heart tube, I suggest you try it on a small part of your enclosure. First, I just want part: I'm try to do a whole bunch of sections. Just try one hard for us to see how you like it. Don'T add the sealer and just go over it one time with the protective shield stuff and, as I mentioned before, as far as the lip, if you're wearing your closure at the hairline or you're scared about the edge of it being too dark, then what I then Don'T apply the shield to the edge of your lace, leave a little tiny strip where you don't buy it, so you have a little bit of place like add edge, but I put it always edge just because mine is actually within gypsy. You don't really have much here, so I can't cover any kind of place. So what I have to do is apply it there, so I can dab the water on there and get it to stay out. So I hope this video was helpful thanks for watching tiny hairs later and really quick. While you check out these photos, I just want to mention that if you do not use the sealant on the underside of your closure, then this will wash out with water. It may take a few washes with your shampoo, but it will wash off of the closure. If you use the acrylic, sealant or other types of sealant, then it will last longer and you can wash your hair or get wet with this on the underside of your closure without having to worry about it washing away. I just wanted to give you that tidbit of information thanks for watching everyone. I hope this video was helpful and I will talk to you soon in my next video bye.

Anntasia: OMG thank you so much for this video. I can't wait to try that method on my closure. The hair looks like it is coming right from your own head. Also I love the texture of the hair, it really does look like African American hair once flat ironed.
scoobieman06: Sharing these great tips. This is giving me inspiration to actually purchase a lace closure and make myself. I've always been afraid of trying bleaching the knots the traditional way. Again thank you.
The Hall Kids!: This is the best method I've seen! I'm new to closures but I just used this method on 2 closures and they both turned out great. Thanks for sharing!!
Smile Rod.: Thank you so much for making this video. It helped me a lot!

VirgoAngel83: Gosh!! I wish I would have watched this before I did my sew in with closure. I assumed that I would just have to apply makeup in the part on top. Well I know for next time. Thanks so much for posting these videos. It has been helping me a lot.
bendu1ba6: This helped me soo much! I just tried it and it made such a difference.
onesexytan: Damn girl that looks natural as hell! I want to try another closure, but my edges are thin too and I had a hard time covering the lace when I left my edges out. I didn't like how it looked when I took it all the way up.
Meme G: I love this method! I have always bought silk based closures because I could not get the fabric under the lace correct. Girl it would be fraying and looking tacky. I'm ordering these supplies now. Thanks!
StresslessTresses: You're a genius. I never would've thought to do this!!
Tasha Leanne: WOW you have skills!!!! i've just purchased a closure and was so worried about it not blending so glad I came across your channel
Deb G: LOVE this video! Would it also work on a lace front where I tweezed for a more natural part? I tried it first on a piece of lace I cut off and it seeped through. The part that did dry, dried shiny but it got rid of the lace grid. Also, did you let this dry on something like a mannequin head or wig stand? You got a new subbie!
MissBossyLIVE: awesome! So glad it worked for you :)
Jennyrocity: THAT IS AMAZING. GOING TO TRY THIS FOR SURE

Ms. Leveille: Thank you so much! You are fantastic! Awesome!
Flashing lights: Loved this video it's so helpful. I just tried the protective shield part, but mine has gone through to the other side of the lace. What is the best/easiest way to get the product off the roots of the hair?
Chanel Haze: I'm so glad I listened through to the end because I got this wig I want to try this on & the first thing I thought was, "If I eff this up, will this come off?!" & you already answered my question, ha <3 I know how annoying it is to get the same questions 46 times on a video so THANK YOU for including ALL details; I appreciate it & the hair looks great on you!
Oré Gold: GENIUS!! I should've watched this before I bought a silk top
SienesTV: Oh Girl.... You're a genius! Thanks for sharing!
iAmAtiyya: Best closure app I've seen. Hands down! Thx for sharing.
DaTruEbonyRayne: Hi Bossy, I have a question. I was with you up to the point of you apply the gro protectant. What is the purpose of the grow proctectant? And does it washes away if I was to shampoo my hair/weave? does it help the closure from shedding?? And also, can I apply it to the whole entire closure? Because the way I did my last closure, I just bleached the knots, and sprayed a acrylic sealant on it. I still experienced some shedding but not a lot. So I just wanted some light on the grow protectant.
Strawberry 888: You made it look very natural . :) will this work on a human lace wig ?
MissBossyLIVE: you'll have to check the hair often and rinse it off when the knots turn blonde (or to the color that you want them)
MissBossyLIVE: you are very welcome, and thanks for watching :)
MissBossyLIVE: you can always seal your knots first though, then follow with the concealer and other steps
Jynxie Wavemaiden: Have you ever tried this on a lace front? How long did it last for you, aka how many washes?
missball404: great tips thanks for sharing
Dominique McKinnon: Def trying this next time! Thank you!
GuccirubberBANDZ: Hi Bossy. I wanted to ask what the "Geo Protect" was for ? How does it function is it to keep the hair shedding and is that what the spray was for ? And what if you cut a little piece of the lace where the closure begins wldnt that help if someone doesn't have a lot of edges ? I don't either. Thnks Bossy. Amazing video. :')
karemmalpark parks: You are very talented. Thanks for sharing
Vasilopoula: This is awesome!
Jackie Washington: Very nice and natural looking.What kind of concealer (brand)? I've been struggling trying to get mine to blend. Thanks
chalonluda: Love love loveeee now I really plan to get a closure I hate the look of the grids this is perfecttttt
BadAssM3iRa: I love both parts of your technique and I'm definitely gonna use them both but what I wanna know is do you pull some of the hair out like I've seen others do?
LaTonya602: VERY NICE, AND WELL DONE! YOUR THE BOMB.COM WHEN IT COMES TO HAIR AND TECHNIQUE'S......THANKS FOR SHARING SWEETIE, DEFINITELY SAVING TO MY FAVS =)
ykukuia: Great video, Thanks!
jaysicka06: I love u for this !!! I'm guna try this later this week
crownrhoyale: you're so innovative, thanks MB
MissBossyLIVE: thank you. and yes, that is the one I'm using in the video
ForChristOnly: hi.. This is so smart! I love the concept of the closure but I really disliked the grid look of the lace. I wanted my closure to look EXACTLY like a scalp. Did you bleach the knots to do this?
46FOXFIRE: You are so talented. Thanks again for sharing.....
Evilkitty64: What brand spray sealant do you recommend? thanks in advance
Evilkitty64: Thanks!!! great video
ILoveToScrub: oh i need a bossy wig in my life. when i think that they are good, they just get better and better.
MissBossyLIVE: the grow protect fills in the grids of the lace and covers the knots. It kind of absorbs the concealer and takes on the same color so with the grids hidden it looks more like scalp. It does wash away, but mine took several lathers to get off (so it won't just come right off it you get it wet). I apply the acrylic sealant after it dries to help it last longer. I don't seal my knots anymore because I don't really notice a difference. I haven't tested this long enough to see if it prevents shedding
Jazzy Jeff: When u wash the closure does the coating wash off? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Viv B: great video.. thanks!
jasmine shewprashad: Ima try this love it
MissBossyLIVE: yes I did. I did that step in part 1 of the video series
Mine: God send of an idea!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU. I am wondering if I use Aleene's Tacky Glue ( in the place of Gro Protect) and concealer will make it more water resistant. Plus I have used Aleene's to seal wefts and it dries clear and is pretty flexible/durable. I will try that. I also have an idea that will help prevent the infamous "lace roll" lol..will try that with this method too *cross fingers*
Kia Moore: Genius. Completely genius. :)
MsDollist: Cant wait to try this
therealoneandonly100: Girl that is da BOMB!! U da BOMB!! Looks do real on you. Thanks so much!!
YesChinaMarie: you just schooled me! thank you.
Jynxie Wavemaiden: Awesome!!!
Ally M.: best video on lace closures ...like ever!
Morning Song: I love that unit! Let me know if you ever want to sell it.
lisia1989: would got2b freeze spray work in place of the protective shield?
MissBossyLIVE: Thank you :)
Latonia Gordon: I finally tried this method, but gro protective seal ran through to the other side. Is something you can suggest I do. I followed your video. Thank you in advance for your help.
MissBossyLIVE: no. Most of the pics are from before I made the video. My scalp had been exposed more so it actually matched the concealer. In the video I applied it after I had my scalp covered for a couple of weeks so it got pale.
Doxwifey1999: You are amazing!
Jazzy Jeff: Wow should have watched the full video cuz you answered it...thanks again!
MissBossyLIVE: Thanks. It should work, but I'd only apply it where you plan to part your hair
Lady Aradia: you should use nude or buff foundation on your wig so it is less orange.
Diana Jackson: This method is messy and can get on the hair but it works. I have to remove residue carefully with alcohol or shampoo on the hair
QUEEN B: Miss Bossy will this work if the lace has dye on it?
MissBossyLIVE: :) thanks for watching and subbing
MissBossyLIVE: thank you :)
MissBossyLIVE: thank you :)
MissBossyLIVE: thank you :)
MissBossyLIVE: thank you :)
MissBossyLIVE: thank you :)
MissBossyLIVE: thank you :)
MissBossyLIVE: thank you :)
MissBossyLIVE: cool, let me know how everything turns out :)
Camille Samuel: thhanks so much iv been looking for this
chevon1920: Girl no you didn't. YOU DID NOT, that was CRAZY. You youtube girls are so innovative and brilliant. I love it!
MissBossyLIVE: :) thanks for watching
MissBossyLIVE: I would try using just the makeup first to see if it will conceal the dye. If it does then you can continue with the other steps
brebre: If you wash it will it still be okay ?
MsMKellz: What are the cons to doing this if I am planning on sewing ,my closure down I dont plan to wash the closure while its applied to my head
PrettypLee: Where can I get the gro protection stuff from? Like sallys or walmart ...never heard of it . Thanks
