I don't know why my camera cannot pick it up correctly, but you can see it. I hope you guys can see the true color of this hair if not stay tuned, I'm going to do a close-up of this hair, but this hair is actually pretty long. It'S about 22 inches. I am going to cut it shorter, just because I feel like it'll. Look more realistic at a shorter length, and I want the flow of today's style to look very natural foreign, so I am going to razor the hair shorter. I highly recommend, if you cut your hair, to definitely use a razor instead of scissors unless you're going for the blunt cut, like a short bob or a style like that. But I'm going to go ahead and just add some layers and cut this to about a 16 inch. Just because I want this flow of the hair to be very natural and just like, I had a fresh blowout. I'Ve been to the salon, but I didn't go to the salon, but my hair looked like I went to the salon, you guys know what I'm talking about and let me just say to all the stylists out there me sharing.

So I am just trying to help those who cannot afford it and the ones who can they will come to you still and get their wigs installed. So yeah. That'S why I share my tips, so I'm not trying to step on anybody's toes. I did get a comment in my last video foreign go ahead and continue to layer. The hair. This hair is absolutely gorgeous it's so soft. There is no Tangles. I believe this is a straight texture. So, with straight textures, you really don't need to worry about. You know the maintenance on it, because it's a low maintenance wig all right. So this is what the layers are looking like. I will be sure to put all the products that I use in my Amazon link below in the description box. If you guys want a list of every single wig essential that is mandatory, that I use click that link and go check it out foreign. So, let's move into adding some curls to the hair. I'M going to use my dryer and rollers today to create just a nice volumized flow to the curls. I don't want anything tight. I want the flow of this wig to look like. I want to get a blowout and it just looks really good with some roller set curls. You know that type of look, so this is very simple. All you do is take the hair, separate sections work in medium sections, take your dryer and I'm using a brush. Dryer and I'm going to curl the hair onto the dryer, let it sit for like a minute, then take these rollers and roll the hair up and pin it um, and that's basically it. This is the most simplest curl. You can do it's not going to create a curl curl, but it will give lots of body to the hair. I remember a long time ago I was so against hair rollers. I thought it'd take up so much time and I only used to use them when the hair was wet but adding them into my hair regimen for my wigs have made the biggest difference in the appearance of how realistic the hair look, especially using the dryer. A lot of times I used to let my wigs air dry, which I highly recommend because it holds the most moisture, but if you can dry the hair at at least 95, let it air dry until it's 95 and then use the blow dryer. The dryer definitely gives texture, and I love that. However, I still make sure to use uh leave-in spray. You guys see me use my frizzy spray. I love that I don't put too much product on the hair because I feel like the hair does not need too much product. Otherwise there will be a lot of build up and, of course, the hair won't flow. The way I want it to so yeah. That'S just a few tips also, if you need to throughout the week you can add just a little bit of some argan oil and it will definitely make a difference in the moisture levels. So this is what the end result is now, let's install this wig and I'm going to show you all how to create these edges now, today's wig install is going to be completely glueless. I don't know if I've mentioned this. This is a full lace. Wig, just like yesterday's video, I actually had two and this one. I wanted to customize just a little bit, so that's why I have two of them, but the hairline on this wig is absolutely gorgeous. It really does not need any customization, however, because I am going to be creating soft edges. I am going to touch the hairline just a bit and show you all how to do this without over doing the hairline, because of course, it's already pre-plucked. So I'm actually just taking out hairs right at the very edge of where the hairline begins, because sometimes it can be very uniformed if that makes sense. There'S like a strand of knots going across the hairline, and I hate that look so much so I'm getting rid of that part now, just in case you're wondering no. I did not bleach the nuts on this wig. I did use the even tinted lace on the knots and as far as the lace color, the lace color on this one is a just a little bit light. I don't know why it's different. However, it is slightly so I did tint the lace with the lace tint that I like to use. I forgot. I will link it in the description box, foreign. Of course you want to remove the extra lace. I see a lot of people do this with the lace there, but if you are a beginner, this may complicate things because sometimes when you go to remove the lace, you need to cut a little further back uh for everybody. It varies. I highly recommend cutting the lace prior to doing the next step. One thing I love about the new hairline wigs is that the hairline is thinner. So when it comes to creating edges natural soft, beautiful, realistic edges, there is not so much hair the hairline that it will look ridiculous. So you can easily create this without the struggle of trying to thin the hairline too much now. Look how beautiful that lace has melted into the skin. I have not glued this wig down and already there is little to no work. That needs to be done and that's why I chose not to glue today's wig, because when I put it on - and I saw how well that lace melted, I was like okay girl - you don't need to glue this down today, just give the natural flow of the Hair a lot of times some wig adhesives can cause like crunchy, looks or hardness to the hairline, and that's not to go for today's wig. Today'S wig. We are trying to get that natural, soft textured, baby hair. So what I'm doing is separating just strands of the hair around the hairline and then taking my hot comb to make sure it stays exactly where I needed to go. You don't need a lot of hair. You only need just a little bit and make sure that your wig is positioned exactly where you want it to fall on your head, foreign, that's already super pre-plucked it eliminates having to tweeze the hairline before you can get the soft edges um. So keep that in mind - and this is why I love the new hairline wigs. So I'm just taking my tweezers and taking out just a little bit of hair out of there, because a lot of times when you go to add product to the baby, hairs or the natural edges or whatever you want to call them. When you go to add product it thickens up the hair, so you want to make sure that your edges are super thin before you go to style them. Foreign thing you want to make sure to do before creating your natural edges is to curl the hairs. A lot of times when I've tried to style the edges, and I don't curl them, it just looks like a stringy mess. Okay and the best thing about the curl edges is that they flow very natural and soft, and then on top of that, since this is a glueless wig install, it covers any of the lace, the edge of the lace that may show - and you don't need gels - You don't need hair sprays; all you need to do is curl the hairs and let them flow the way they naturally would flow. And, of course, you want to use a razor when cutting them. You can cut them as short as you would like. They do not need to be long, they so now what I'm going to go ahead and do is set my party and then just style, the wig, because I've already curled the hair. I don't need to go back and do it again. As you can see, the flow of the hair is so pretty like this hair is just everything I am using. My wax stick to lay down the hairs, make sure there is no flyaways. You can also use that on the edges now this is a full lace wig. You can part it straight back if you want to there's no wefts. However, I chose to keep my parting short, because I want the flow of the hair to look like. I have a part, but not look like I have a part at the same time, if that makes sense all right, so we're about done and, as you can see, it looks really good now, because this little area here kept sticking up. I did take us just a little bit of spray just to make sure it lay flat if you use too much, it's not going to flow right. So definitely, if you have to just use just a teeny bit, you do not want the hairs to become stringy. You want them to look fluffy that way the edges can stay soft and natural. Looking look how great that lace is it melts like girl? This wig is not glued down and the lace just looks so invisible. I absolutely love it again. This wig will be linked Below in the description box. I will also put a discount code down there and be sure to check the Amazon link for all the products that I use in today's video. I forgot to insert my Combs into my natural hair, so I'm just going to add just a tad bit of spray right here at the forehead, so that this wig does not slide back um. That'S a little tip! You can do if you don't want to glue it completely down, but you don't want it to move just a little bit of spray right at the forehead area. Let it dry foreign. So this look is complete.
