Wig Installation (Beginner Friendly)

Let me back with another video i've been slacking on y'all. I have not been consistent, i'm so sorry, but we are turning up with the youtube videos back to back wig installations on myself a lot of different stuff, i'm learning how to do a lot of different stuff, so i'm gon na just let y'all know what i Got going on in this video, i'm not really gon na be doing so much talking, i'm just gon na. Let y'all know a little bit of tips and tricks that i do to blend the lace. This is not a class, so the video won't be too detailed, but i'm gon na just let y'all know what's up so right here, i'm just going to cap down with the boho active i've been using this stuff. Since i first started this is my go-to. I don't really use nothing else other than the erica j you'll see that in the video. What i use that one um i don't like using a lot of spray or gels and stuff to glue the cap down, because i feel like the less product you use. The longer it'll last, but i just outline her edges, i don't put i make sure it's not on her edges. I just outline the edges and i brush that in with the back of a comb or anything, you can find to be honest and then i set her under the dryer. So after i started under the dryer, i let that dry for a few minutes on cool, not on heat, and i feel like it'll re-milk the glue after you see that the glue is completely dry and clear that you want that's when you want to go in With your makeup now i use the ruby kisses. I have a lot of different shades um. I tend to blend them when i do use them like the two different like uh, color, 13 or 12 i'll blend them to match perfectly with their skin, and this is what you'll see me doing here. So this wig is from kate's beauty, collection. I'Ll put the link in the description below um. This wig comes pre-plucked knots, bleach, it's a transparent lace. 13X4. This is a custom-made unit and everything that you need to know will be in the description here. I'M just going to cut the cap off. I don't like using the razor to cut the cap because i make i feel like it makes it like really jagged and extra, so i'll go ahead and cut my caps with the scissors um. You see that it ain't blending like that, but we gon na fix it so right here, you're just going to see me clean up the hairline, you make sure no oils, no excess makeup is left on the skin. So now i'm just going to put the wig on yeah. This wig was not too small or nothing it's just that my cousin head is big. So when i made the wig when i made the wig, i tried to add a give her a little bit. I tried to measure her head, but it's not too small, but it's just you know. You know some ways you have to work with, and this is one of the ways i had to work with, but don't get me wrong. Everything still came out perfect. I don't have to cut nothing or anything like that. It'S still fit so right here, you're going to see me start adding the layers of glue. I use about three to four layers. Depending on how thick i make the glue, but i'm just going to add the layers, wait till they completely dry and spread them out, then i'm gon na add another layer, wait to spread it out and wait till it completely dries before you add another layer, if You don't wait till it completely dries. You'Re gon na have clumpy glue and it's gon na look weird through the lace. I'M telling you wait till it dry completely and then add your layer. So, okay, when you see me pull out the blow dryer, i always blow dry it on cool, not heat, because i feel like it will melt the glue once again so make sure it's on cool. But if you do, if you've done it on heat and you feel like it works for you, then baby do it because different strokes for different folks, you know so now, i'm just going to place the wig on her head make sure the wig is in front Of the glue, because you can always go back in and add more glue, but if it's behind the glue, it's messy it's hard to clean up so just make sure that your wig is in front of that glue. So today we're going with a nice soft curl with this side, part um, i'm doing a curved part. That'S what i usually do so we're just going to part it out. You can see me go in with the wax stick and the heat protectant and the holding spray. I do that on both sides and then on the left side, where the hair, where the most hair is i'll, go back in and make sure the roots is straight, because i want that to lay as flat as possible. Um. If you have any questions about the products i use i'll, probably leave them in the description, the heat protectant stuff. I love it. The combo is just perfect, but you can see me parting, the hair off and just making sure everything is flat. So so so y'all see how flat that is. Anyways. Now we're going to go into cutting the lace off for me for transparent lace. When you cut it, it leaves it definitely leaves a ashy look with the flashback. So we're going to go in i'm going to show you how i fix all of that and you can see the excess lace that i put in front of the glue. I'M going to go back in and add more glue, and this is when i go in with the erica j, but now you see me adding the makeup back to the hairline, and this is the erica j hold me down. I go back in because around the edges, i like it when the glue dries quicker and her glue dries very fast and i'm running low on her glue. That'S the only reason i didn't use it for the full install, but i do love this glue because it dries very, very fast and has such a firm hold y'all see how ashy that look? We definitely got ta, go back in and fix that so right now, you're, just gon na see me parting off the baby hairs, usually sometimes i'll part it all the way across, but i like to just part off where i know i want my baby hairs. For me, it's easier and way more neater, so you do not ever want your lace to look like this. It'S not blending at all. It looks very ashy and with transparent lace you always have to go the extra mile to blend it. So that's what i'm about to do! I'M not gon na be pointing out every little thing. I do y'all just going to take my class, but i do have some tips in here that you can use to melt this lace and go that extra mile. So just pay close attention if you notice you're not doing something that i'm doing, i promise you it'll help you in the long run. So just do it. If you have any questions just comment below - and i would love to answer your questions, so you want to quickly tie the edges down with your elastic band. I do have these elastic bands on my website. I just put in a new order so be sure to go purchase your elastic band. It has a strap in the back, so it's way easier to strap. You want to let that dry um. I don't. I didn't put her in the dryer. I just went ahead and curled her hair, so it really air, dried and y'all see that i know y'all see that like come on like if you go back to the beginning, you see how actually it was like come on now. You can't tell me my tricks. Ain'T working so now, i'm just going to comb out some baby hairs get that product out of there. I really specialize in a natural look. So that's what i go for every time so now you're going to see me, go in and pluck the baby hairs and cut them down, because we don't want no thick hairs for a natural look. You always want to, depending on how you do hair and how you want it to look. You always want to go in and tweeze your baby hairs to make sure they look very natural and not too thin, though don't over. Pluck your baby hairs um, i'm cutting them down with the razor i feel like. If you use scissors it gives it that more choppy. Look, the razor gives it a more natural and flowy look, but i'm just going to cut them down and you're going to see me going with my little tiny, curling, irons and curl them up. So i just went in with my got to be glued. No now i got to be blue, the gorilla's not opening with my girl, it's not and i'm just molding my baby hairs when you curl the baby hairs it can be if you're a beginner, it can be easier for you to swoop them honestly. For me, it's way easier, but it takes me a little minute to do them, because i want my baby hair to look exactly how i want them and lay exactly how i want them to lay baby hairs is very it's a very hard skill to learn. We really just don't know what you're doing, but once you get it, it's really easy. To be honest, it's really easy as long as you know, where to put your baby hairs and know how to lay your baby hair and know what products to use, because you can use a lot of different products and it'll be hard for your baby hairs. To lay like i've used the ebbing spray, it has a great hole, but it's hard for you to mold your baby hairs. How you want them once that spray dries. You can use your gut to be glued. You can use your gorilla snot, your foam. I didn't use foam before you got to know what you're doing when you use that phone, but now i'm using the gorilla snot and it's easier, especially when it's curlier, but i have a lot of different techniques i use so so now, i'm going in with my Oven spray, even i don't even i don't know, i'm just calling evan that spray is something serious that hold on that spray is crazy. I spray i used to do my baby hairs with it, but it was like it dried so fast like it was just hard for me to form my baby hairs, how i wanted them, so i just started to spray them after i used the the gorilla snot. So i just sprayed the hair with the oven spray and blow dried it on a low heat, and that will hold your edges for days. I promise because i did it on myself so so i went ahead and curled her hair off camera um. If y'all want a detailed video on some curls i'll definitely do that for y'all, because it ain't really easy curling hair. You got to know the right way to turn the curling iron in the wrong way to turn it like. You have to just know. If you want your curls to fall the right way, but i'm going to show you a few curls in the front um, nothing too detailed. Just what i use. I use the t3 curling iron. I think it's an inch and a half if i'm not mistaking. I think but um the link, for that will be in the description too, if y'all want that, so just stay tuned, so so so this is definitely my favorite part coming out. Curls is just having for me. I don't know why it is, but i use a wide tooth comb. I don't use the small tooth because i feel like it just brushes the curls out and it'll be no point of color in the hair. But i love to see how the curls frame the face. You'Ll see me go back in in the front and, like trim, a few pieces, add a little bit of layer in it to frame her face even more, you see how the curls come out. They so freaking pretty. I just love these. This is definitely my favorite way to curl hair, especially with a side part. So so that's really it for today y'all i'm gon na just let y'all finish out.
