Lace Closure Series: How To Bleach & Customize Closure (1)

Okay, y'all welcome back to my channel, so we are doing, of course, how i customize my wig. Let'S get into it. First thing you need is a wig, ignore the ghetto set up y'all in order, so, as you can see, i'm just taking the wig out of the million bags that it came in this wig is a body with body wig. What a body wave 20 inch wig and it says it's an hd closure and it is pre-plucked. This is a four by four closure that i'm, showing you all and the body wave that i'm showing y'all that's kind of like barely there, but we're gon na get into that later. So the first thing you want to do is turn the wig inside out y'all. Please forgive me because you're about to see how ratchet this thing is getting, i needed to wear this wig the next day and i was like look. This got ta bleach, it come hella. High water and helen hot water came okay, so you're gon na take your developer. I'M using a 40 volume developer that i will show y'all once i finish adjusting my camera, we're going to start off with the bleach and i'm using a clear all bleach. You can use literally any cup um. I just use this hair cup. This is my designated hair cup and it has some oil at the bottom of it. I wouldn't recommend using it with oil, but, however, it's not gon na hurt anything like i said it was my hair cup and i was trying to concoct some things earlier. So what you're gon na do is put the bleach in a cup or a bowl. I could not find my bowl from sally's um. Don'T pour a lot of mouth we're literally only working with the 4x4 closure, and i love this bleach because it's purple and it helps with brassiness after that you're going to use the the developer and i'm using a 40 volume. You do not have to get this big of a developer like who do? I think i am so. I just pour a little bit of developer. A little goes a long way like we're only doing a closure, and i still had a lot left over. You want to make sure you're mixing it. I could not find my brush y'all when i say this is very makeshift. I am doing this video to prove to y'all that y'all could do this anywhere. Okay, you don't have to have the proper utensils, i'm using the back of this little razor blade thing that i get from the beauty supplies to just mix it up, and you want to make sure that consistency is very thick. You don't want it to be runny at all to where, when you pick up the mixer or the brush, it is not dropping. As you see it's look. Yes, she is thick honey and keep mixing it until the purple is fully developed throughout the entire cup or the entire mixing bowl. You all are using we're gon na position, our wig on the edge of this fashion, nova box. Okay, you got to get in where you fit in and just lightly brush the developer and the bleach onto the lace. I like to make sure that my wig is propped up for some reason. It makes it easier for me to bleach. I don't know - maybe just me thing, but i like your pop, propped up on like the edge of the shoe box or something and as you can see, the consistency is super thick. I lightly press onto the closure, but when i say ever so lightly, i mean ever so lightly. You'Re gon na do this for the entire closure. Okay, usually i like to use 40 developer right now, i'm just getting my computer ready, so i'm just covering up my desktop screen, but i like to use a 40 developer 50 developer because sys works fast. This has places to go okay, um, but i did let the developer in the bleach sit on the hair for like 30 minutes, because for some reason these knots were a little stubborn on this wig and y'all will see when i show y'all the wig. So you can always patch test it, and you can always redo bleaching the knots if they don't turn out to your liking. However, with me, i had somewhere to go, so i was just like look we're going to just do this one time and we're going to do what it do. I already washed the hair, and i also washed the hair with purple shampoo and conditioner um, because we wanted to just make sure the brassiness was not going to be all on the wig. I made sure to wash the shampoo very hard. I don't want to say hard, but very kind of like rough on the lace as i was washing out. The bleach. The first thing you're going to do is put down the baby hair. The quote-unquote baby hairs, i'm holding in air quotes, but y'all can't really see. Quote-Unquote baby hairs that the wig kind of comes with that are like super thick, but it's okay, we're gon na get we're gon na get her together because he is looking like mikhail myers. All righty take the baby hairs and pull them towards you. You want to make sure that you're working when the hair is still damp. We don't want the wig to be dry when you're trying to pluck, because it just makes it a lot harder, and you can also cause a hole in your wig like i've done that before, and it's a it's a very sad thing to do so, as you Can see i'm re-wetting it just in case because, like i said, i had a hole in my wig and with the first layer of baby hairs. You want to pluck the what's in the world. You want to pluck these hairs down towards you. So, as you can see, i know i'm left-handed, it's so hard to really show y'all. I should have put it on the other side, but you want to plug down towards you for the first round and with this part, a little goes a long way. You can always pluck more, but once you flip, the hair out says she is not growing. This is not nobody's real scalp. So take your time. I do want to say that this front part this front little row is going to be the thinnest roll that you all have the thinner the better. So this is my first time going in um as you're, going to see later on in the video i'm going to go in again, because that is not thin enough. However, we like to just you: do it like a full round? And then you go two or three times because, like i always say, you can pluck more uh, make sure that you're parting, the hair horizontally. And if you can get some clips because i kept having to comb it back like i got some quilts later on, but i was like says: what's going on um so each time you just go ahead and part another section and then pluck it towards you. First and then pluck it towards the crown of the head. Next, i'm always all about my business. I got my business. I will never ever so i'm going to go pretty far back. I want to stay more than halfway of the closure. That'S how far back we're going to go? You don't just want to do the front part because, as soon as you part, your head down in your head, your hair, your wig, your sis, whatever you name him or her down um your head to wear the wig you're, going to see that the part is Going to look super thick, if you don't pluck all the way back, so we want to make sure that you are parting, your head, almost more than halfway down the closure, and it is okay. There'S going to be a lot of hair that we're taking out um. I do keep a little fur ball to show y'all how much hair i'm taking out of this closure, even though it's quote unquote, free plug and as you work and pluck, you want to make sure that you are combing your hair, your closure, as well as the Um the rest of the wig a little bit on the top just to get all of the hair together, make sure your work split space is clean, clean workspace, good wig. If you don't take nothing from this video clean workspace, good wig, so i'm gon na fast forward through this part, because it's pretty repetitive just make sure you're hitting those things that i told y'all y'all are doing and hopefully y'all will see the thinner. The closure is getting and if you want to check your work every now and then i i am about to do it now, but every now and then i comb all of the closure back just to see how things are going like we kind of want to See how everything is going and when you comb it back you're able to see okay, this is not thin enough. I i need to go ahead and pluck some more and that's. Okay, literally, i would probably re-bleach this because, as you can see, not all of the knots were bleached on this wig. This wig was very stubborn. I'M trying to i'm gon na have to find a different wig for y'all in the description box, because, honestly, it's really irritating me now, as i'm editing this video. But as you can see, i'm going back in for the second time, starting from the front of the hairline and just working my way back. You just want to be very patient with this and i'm making sure that y'all can see this in real time. So you can see how i'm plucking the hair, so now, when you are just about finished yeah here is the ball of hair that i had actually once i really finished, i had more hair than this. Like the more i looked at it, the more i was like okay. No, i want to pluck some more but you're gon na go ahead and spray some water down and we're just going to prep the wig for when we install it. I like to push my wig back a little and then we'll push the wig back comb the hair back a little and then comb the front baby hairs to the front. You just want to make sure that everything is in the place that you want it to be. When you put the mousse down not saying that the mousse is gon na, make it super hard, but it kind of just sets it a little bit. I always rock a middle part: y'all y'all know i'm the queen of middle parts. So right now, i'm trying to part my head, i'm gon na fast forward through this part, because y'all know i struggle with parting. Now that we got that squared away, i like to make that voluptuous little like pull back and pull forward type of method. I don't know what you call it, but i kind of comb it back and then comb it forward a little bit coming forward and down and back. I don't know how y'all call that, like what do y'all call that i don't know comment down below, i hope y'all know what i'm talking about, though you just want to make sure that you have room for the baby hairs on the hairline. As you can see, i'm kind of just doing the same thing, i'm trying to make sure that everything is flat and if you sewed your wig instead of ordering a wig make sure that everything is flat. This is your time to re-pluck anything plug the part plug anything else that you want to plug, really make sure that your part is where you want it to be, i mean not, nothing is set in stone. Yet i don't like to cut anything until i tried it on my head, trying it on my head, so we're going to do that in the next video go ahead and click for the next video. If you're watching this one night right, when i let it - i love y'all, okay y'all, i hope y'all enjoyed this video. I'M not gon na take a picture of the week before child, but here she is. This is the finished. Will semi finished? Look: we've bleached the knots we plucked the wig and i do not cut the lace or the baby hairs up here until i am able to until i put the wig on my head, so um stay tuned for the next video to so i can show y'all How i install my lace, closure, wigs, okay, i hope you enjoyed this video and, if you like, i know i'm looking a little rough, don't forget to like this video thumbs up this video comment down below um and, like i always stay loved stay like always stay Like i always say, love stay true to yourselves.
