I'M going to be showing you how i install my wigs on a daily basis for a totally natural look every day. Welcome to the wiggy woman. I am very excited to be bringing you this tutorial today. This tutorial was inspired by a post that i made on a support for hair loss, facebook group, and essentially i was telling a story about how i was returning a wig at the post office and the lady at the counter could not believe that i wore wigs And when that happened, i thought it was so funny because it happens to me all the time. Many times i have as i'm explaining that i have a youtube channel about wigs and wig reviews. People are shocked that the hair that i'm wearing is not growing out of my head and, more than once, i have actually had to lift up the lace to reveal my hair, underneath to prove that my hair was in fact a wig. Today, i'm going to be taking you through step by step, the routine that i go through every day when i'm getting ready in the morning to make my wigs look completely natural. So if you want your wig to look as natural as possible, it's really important to think about that when you're going into your wig purchase, if you're, normally a natural brunette - and you want to have a platinum blonde, wig you're going to have a much easier time.

That'S posted weekly and, of course, please drop me a line down below to say, hi and to let me know if you're someone who is already a fan of human hair, wigs or if this is something that you're looking into for the future and let's get to It so since today we're talking about a human hair, wig being so convincing that people won't believe it's a wig we're going to start with the wig itself, so this is sienna by jon renau in color 12fs8, and this is my daily wear wig. This is the wig that i put on pretty much every day. I have other videos about how i style sienna um, but in this video i'm going to be using a wig that hasn't been styled in about a week, so she's been put through her paces. But you know every day i don't style my human hair wigs. I actually feel that the flyaways and some of the uh, the style being not so perfect, adds to the realism. So that's why we're starting with this wig today, when you get a really good human hair wig like this one uh, you don't need to pluck this part. This part is already, you know some people even think it's too sparse, but that's part of the magic of these kinds of wigs so um. You know i am getting this, this very, very natural result, because i've invested in a human hair wig. That is got a lot of really good features like a pre-plucked part line that looks very, very natural and allows me to style this very quickly on a day-to-day basis. I have already you may have noticed, put in my part line, so this is not what it would look like straight out of the box. But if you check out this video right here, you will see how i add foundation underneath the lace and monofilament and to create like a faux bleach knots effect. And i have also added a little bit of foundation inside the part line to again really accentuate that. This is scalp and is not you know, fabric like in a wig. It really sets off that skin scalp effect um and helps. You know really add to the realism of this wig. So if you want to see how i do that step by step, you can check out this video right here, and i only do that step every time i wash my wig, because this foundation concealer is going to stay um. You know really, until i add some shampoo to it, so this video today, i'm just focusing on like the daily style, how i install it, how i wear it and how i make it look so natural that many times people do not believe that this is a Wig, i'm gon na start by putting my hair in a low ponytail to get it out of the way, especially because this is a blonde wig and my natural hair color is brown. With my hair secured at the nape of the neck, i'm going to grab my wig grip band and i did put a link in the description to a really good one. I'M going to kind of flip my hair up and secure the wig grip band underneath so that it holds my hair up in place. So i don't have a big bump at the back of my head. I always start with the wig grip around my forehead and push it back into place, so it keeps my hair out of the way of the hairline i'm going to put the wig on in a similar way, i'm going to secure it at the nape and then It'S around my forehead first and then i adjust the ear tab, so it's centered and pull it back towards the hairline being very careful not to hurt the lace, i'm smoothing out the hair so that i get a nice sleek. Look. I don't know if this is cheating or what but having a good quality human hair wig which, by the way, i got this on clearance on a super duper discount and it was much more affordable than you would think. It probably cost me about the cost of three synthetic wigs and i have one human hair wig that just putting in a part line and putting it on, looks very realistic. All on its own, so um, you know i can curl this wig. I can straighten this wig. In fact, i have a video right here on how to do both of those things. So you know for the cost of a a few synthetic wigs. You can have one human hair wig. That'S really really great, and you know it's just gon na be more realistic because i'm not gon na have to worry about. You know whether or not the fibers are realistic in texture or in shine, because it's human hair, it's going to look like hair. The right position is critical here, so i'm going to adjust the ear tabs and i'm going to make sure that that lace is sitting just on top of my natural hairline. Once i'm totally confident that i have it in the right spot, i'm going to lock it down, i'm going to be using got to be glued hairspray, which is a very strong bond hairspray and is going to keep that lace totally flat and in the spot that I have picked i'm going to spray a small amount along the hairline and i'm going to use the ear tabs to really smush the wig down into that got to be glued, being very careful not to get any fibers in that spray. I'M also going to secure the ear tabs down with that got to be glued spray, so i'm going to give it a little spray and i'm going to push the ear tab down into the got to be glued. So i get a firm hold. I'M going to repeat that process on the other side, so that this is also secure. You do not need much here, just a little tiny spray and by pushing it into that, got to be glued. It'S going to ensure that i have a firm hold for the entire day. Many times you can get away with either a wig grip band or got to be glued. But if you want the most secure it's going to be best with both, even though this wig fits perfectly, i do have a low hairline, so some of my hair sticks out and rather than try and hide it. I embrace it and that's why i love these rooted shades, so i'm going to pull out some of my hair from that ponytail from underneath these ear tabs once i'm sure that got to be glued is dry. I'M going to take some foundation and i'm going to apply it first to my hand, because i don't want any big splotches and i'm going to then blend it gently along that lace to kind of seamlessly transition between my forehead and the hairline. Next, i want to focus on that part and i'm going to take the foundation up into where that part line is because i really want to accentuate almost like a little bit of a receding hairline, because i don't want that part line to be too perfect. And lastly, i'm going to blend it all in so that i have a very smooth and seamless transition. Now i'm going to grab a brush and i'm going to comb the fibers down, because i want to try to break up and rescue any hairs that are stuck in that got to be glued. It'S really important that i comb down and not up, because i don't want to lift up the lace, but i am kind of giving the brush a little bit of a wiggle, because i want to try and catch as many hairs as i can and separate them From the cap, next, i'm going to pull those hairs that are showing underneath the ear tabs and i'm going to tuck those back so that i get a little bit more of a realistic hairline down below where the wig ends and i'm going to smooth everything out To cover - and here is the final result you want to wear your wig like you would wear your hair and hair accessories are a great way to do that. People usually assume that you can't wear hair accessories with a wig or that you wouldn't so when they see hair accessories, it just sort of brings their mind back to this must be your own natural hair, especially if you're wearing your look with confidence. People are going to buy into that confidence and they're going to believe that this is your hair, even if you bought it.
