So, hey everybody is sure Mel welcome back to my Channel today, I'm here with a video on the Spock's body and guess what it is a wig, some, yes, a wig, my head is not bring it. I plopped this in one, and this is a week. Oh, I ordered this way off. Samus Beauty, calm. It is the expressions lace front, a box, braids wig and it's the small, so they do have a wig that is larger braids that I got the smaller Brady ones and I got super small. The roots start off kind of medium and the ends get fairly small but yeah. Then I micros it's this brand right here and this is how they advertise the week. But obviously mines does not look like that. So yet is a lace front wig and I purchased this with my own money um. This is not a sponsored video. I was browsing on YouTube and I think her name is the find guru she had the large hombre twist wig and that just kind of started me on this search of finding a bride away. So yeah I wouldn't mind that Sam's beauty and it was $ 29.99 with tax and shipping. It ended up costing $ 42. It took about a week to get to me. I ordered it on a Sunday and I got it the following Monday. I got in color too. I wanted it in four, but the sold out, so I got it in the color too, and it kinda comes in the color, 1, 1 B, 2, 4 and then a couple of like ombre mixed colors. So I know you guys are obviously wondering because my front does not look like this front and you're probably wondering how I got this to look so natural. So what I ended up doing was braiding the perimeter of my head um. I did do a quick little tutorial for you guys so I'll inserted at the end and show you guys how exact how I exactly install this, but I did do a the perimeter of my head. So all these braids right here or individuals that I braided myself just to give it a natural hairline um. Just you know the look of a natural hairline when you get regular box braids. I didn't watch your couple reviews on this wig and some people wore it. Just as the lace - and you know it look decent, but I wanted the I wanted mice look as realistic as possible, so I went ahead and braid it my perimeter. I also did a row in the bag because I was going to try to flip this. In a ponytail I don't think that's gon na work um but yeah, that's just the all-around specs. Now I'm going to go into, like I guess, to review my personal opinion and how I feel about the wig. So initially I was really excited to get this way because I've been wanting grades and I've just been wanting a protective style where I don't have to do anything to my head, like tired of combing, my hair, tired, a flat ironing, I'm tired of weaves - and I Just wanted a quick protective style. I'Ve been wanting braids, I know how to braid my hair. So if I wanted to, I could break my full hair, but I just don't have the patience and a little one of the cheap side, and I don't like paying people to do things that I can do myself. So, that's why I have anyone to shop and I'm so indecisive. So I don't want to pay. You know 100 plus dollars on having someone break my hair and in a week or two later I decide. I don't want it so yeah all that's it. I was super excited to get this way phone. However, now that its installed, I'm a little, I don't know styled like this. It looks really nice, my initial um, what I was going to do. It'S actually sold the way down. I don't have it self down just because once I put the wig on the wig is really cool and I mean it's pretty. It'S really for. However, it's kind of bulky at the top in this area um and I have a smaller head, so the wig just doesn't. I feel like fit right on my head. It'S bulky, it's kind of big, and so I just didn't even go. I didn't even bother sorting down because I don't know how I'm going to keep this and yeah, because it's so bulky at the top like this is the only style that I feel like. It looks good in it's too much air to pull up in a bun. But it's so full like it's so good. It'S super for and super long tonight, Cathy, but it is kind of hot because it is a lot of hair but yeah. I just don't know how else I could style this and I just don't find any other cells that I'll be like comfortable wearing this as like. I can't wear it down, I'm going to try to steam or, like you know, when you dip the ends in boiling water, just the top part to see if I can get it to lay down a little more and kind of alleviate some of the bulkiness in Fullness but there's a 98 % chance that this way will not last me past weekend, so yeah, but it is cute. It is quick. It didn't take me long to install um. It probably took me like a hour and a half to break the front part of my head, and I just have a few like braids going straight back underneath so installing this was really easy. So if I do ever just want like box braids for like a week or so or you know for the weekend, it can go out of town. I think that this week is really good for that. I just don't think that it's good for long term wear but yeah. Let me know what you guys think I'll leave this link and everything to this wig down below. If you guys wan na check it out and yeah, that's it, and I will see that next time. So first, I'm going to start by showing you guys how the hair looks right out of the bed, and this is the construction of the leg. It has four columns one at the top one at the bottom and one on each side, and it also has adjustable straps and so can now get the correct fitting. But I plop it on my head and show you guys how it looks without any modifications and as you guys can see, you can see the fullness and just the fullness that I touched on in the first part of this video. But this is the parting. It almost has like a silk lace, top going on at the top for a more natural parting and yeah. It was horrendous right off the bag not going to lie, but I'm going to show you guys how to make it look as natural as possible. So, let's start by just sectioning off the front portion of my hair, you don't need to section off a lot. I'M really just doing my edges and yeah. You can see my nice over there in the corner. She was trying to get in this video by aliens necessary, but yeah, I'm going to just pull it up. You know pull that part in the ponytail, because that hair is just going to grate it down like that. So I'm not doing anything like sewer. You know meticulous, I'm just literally adding a few singles a jewels whatever you call it in the front, I'm doing my size based off the size of the wigs. So I just kind of measured the hair compared to the wig as far as width and length goes, and I'm just going to start braiding, I'm horrible at explaining how to attach the hair. It'S just one of the things I've been doing since I was really young. It'S so not explained, I just kind of do it, but yeah. I just braided them exactly how they're braided along the wig kind of all at the event at the bottom, and this is how it looks once I have one-half of my front done. Let'S see and now I'm going to move on to the next day and I'm going to show you guys how I blend the wig with that braided front. So this is my base. Just have a few cornrows going straight back just to have my hair as flat as possible, and you can see the braids in the front, so I'm going to put the wig on and I did have to adjust it a few times like I mentioned before my Head is kind of on the small side so the fit. I was just having a hard time getting it to fit properly yeah. I just had to adjust it a couple times, but I'm just placing the hairline on the wig right behind those braids that I did in the front, and you can see that it's still full and still just really bulky in the front. There'S no way that I could just wear this kind of down and the style I have to pull some of it up. I was also having problems with like the front part kind of sliding back, so I went and just kind of pinned it down with some bobby pins just to hold it in place. Like I said before, originally I wanted to slow it down yeah. It wasn't going to happen, but yeah now, I'm just styling it like. I started half-up half-down and that's pretty much it um. Let me know what you guys think. I really love the idea of a braided wig. It'S so convenient, but I definitely think there would be a couple of you know. Things kind of tweaked on the wig as far as manufacturing goes to make it a little more realistic, but yeah I mean it did it start this purpose for this day and it looked cute like I said, if I ever want box breaks for, like a overnight Trip or for the weekend or something I'll definitely this will definitely be my go-to, but I just yeah. I don't want to wear my hair half up half down every day with these braids, so problems won't keep them in long but yeah, that's it. Let me know what you guys think if you liked it, if you try to braid a twig before, if you make suggestions anything, let me know down in the comment section, and I will see you guys next time, bye,
Comments

Lady Scorpio: You did a great job! And yes, Braided wigs (at the front) don't normally look that realistic, so good idea to do a few rows of braids yourself. Very clever!
NaturelDeese: I love expression wigs they looks natural better than sensationnel. I just ordered the Zury wig 30' but expressions has the best braid units only con was that string. once cut or snapped it was over looked super bulky plus sewing it back in place is tedious. this looks beautiful
Melva Johnson: that is a nice wig, I've been looking for a braided wig I am a breast cancer survivor plus I have alopecia at the crown of my head so I'll have to keep my hair that grows on the sides, back and a little of the front shaved I get tired of shaving so thanks for the video I'm gonna order me one..

Gemini Rule: I like the fact that you braided your perimeter then attached the wig. I'm a truck driver and this will be great for me. I had my hair in the box braids and that shit HURT so bad. It took damn near two weeks for that shit to loosen up. I can get these wigs in different colors. I can braid good enough to keep the perimeter looking fresh. Thank you!

soulmate: good techniques and Methods made it look so natural thanks for sharing
natural nicky: I liked the look. It didn't look bulky from my view point. I'm lazy and wont pay someone or take the time to braid my own. I'm going to have to try this. What gel did you use when you braided your front? Did you ever do a tutorial on the twists you had in your hair awhile back?
Cola Bear: Wow I ❤️ the way you did that. I have the same dilemma right now. I am tired of combing my hair. I want braids! I can't braid my own hair with extensions . I tired and failed but u inspired me to try again. I wanted to buy a braided wig but I didn't like the way it looked in the front. Girl u just gave me wings! I am definitely going to the beauty supply store and purchasing a wig like that. That turned out great

Christopher Buck: You just slay everything!!!!
JerikaSyncere: I swear I did a video about my wig and mine was braided in the front too! It's pretty awesome
The Real Bionic Lady The Black One: I enjoyed your video. I am making a braided wig pretty lady, it is ombre purple and #4. fire! in order to make it convincing, I am snatching out much of the braids so it is not too big. Good job on the video.
Janiel: Ahhhhh! I always wonder why the braid wigs on the model did not match the wigs on the package. I thought that's real hair on the model. Now I know how its done.

Latoya Andrews: Beautiful I like!!!
Ms SeaPortCredit: Great job, I would have never guessed you didn't have a full head of braids. ..
VM11238: If you crochet or sew on additional braids to the very edge of the wig would it help to blur the line demarcation of the wigs edge meeting the single box braids added to your own hair?
Valerie Howard: Question. Could you gut a few braids off the top where it could lay down more or would that ruin the wig?

kaylou184: I had no idea that it was really a wig. I like how it came out. how secure is the wig?
monica harvey: Very cute
Stephanie Biggs: I think you lying lol that wig looks so natural omg
Kanisha Pickett: I think it's a great idea what you did in the front braids in your natural hair to blend the wig with it but might I suggest that maybe you cut Rowe's off of the front of the wig to achieve the less bulky look you may be able to get away with it because of what you did and I'm only saying that because of noticing when you put it on how was like it probably wouldn't slip back it would have set right there if you would have probably cut it off just a suggestion but great idea I want to buy a wig now
Mrs3plat: It wouldn’t be as bulky if you dipped it boo, it’s real cute how you did it as well
Christie Devon: Great video!
MotherMelly: Omg my name is Charmel, pronounced the exact same way! Subscribing.
chocolate hersheykiss: i see what your talking about with the bulkyness in my opinion I wouldn't wear that wig unless I do what you just did...its very cute...
Yvonne Hunter: looks natural to mei would not have known looks good
K. Johnson: So cute!!!!!!!
rlw: This will be my next install. How many inches would you say the braids are? Or rather, how long they fall on you?
Andrew Long: This looks beautiful on you. it's alot of hair but it looks great half up half down. haha AAAAND you just said you don't want the half up half down all the time lol. Still cute to change up your look tho
