Wig Transformation | Money Piece Brunette Balayage Hair | Wig Install | Lace Front Human Hair Wig

Hello, everyone - this is sarah from snowstorm beauty, tutorials and today we're doing another hair, video and today's a fun one, because we have a human haired wig from wish. So it's very cheap and we custom colored it to have a money piece and some balayage ombre in the back. The wig is quite a bit darker than the picture. It also states that it's supposed to be light brown with dark blonde highlights, and it has little to no dimension or highlights it's definitely a different color. So i would have to give this wig, probably four stars out of five stars, because all the rest of the description is pretty accurate and it has adjustable combs and lace, front, wig and even lace in the back, and it is pre-plucked. It'S got a very natural hairline, it's pretty good, i'm pretty satisfied with it, because i can color it to whatever color i want. I will leave this wig and also the sellers page in the description box below because they have tons of wigs and hair pieces. I did bleach the knots on this wig so that the scalp looks more natural and i'll leave a link at the end of the video and today we're using matrix light master with 20 volume. We'Re going to mix that up. I, like it pretty thick but slightly drippy and we are going to take a horseshoe section on the very top and i kind of zigzag it. So it has a natural part. So there's no harsh lines when we do the color i'm going to clip that out of the way we're also going to do that to the side sections in the front. Today i started at the hairline so that i have the most brightness around the face. You'Ll see here in a second i'll start with that top piece, and i will actually do back to back foils, because i want maximum impact with minimal effort and i am weaving it still because, as i feather it up, it will just look more natural with the Base color being a dark brown that way we can get maximum dimension on this wig, which has little to no dimension at all. I do very thin sections again, so i can get proper saturation and after this foil here, i'm going to speed it up quite a bit because it gets monotonous and just for time's sake for this video. But to where you can see my foil placement. To repeat: that's: five back-to-back foils, okay, now i'm bringing down a little bit of hair and then i'm going to weave on top of that, and then we are going to put that in a foil, leaving some hair in between just to create a nice background. For the money piece in the front: okay and now here's where the balayage ombre comes into play. We are going to grab that piece that we skipped and we are going to tease that and then we are going to place the foil down because i'm balayaging in foils - and i am going to just put enough lightener right there to stick it to the foil And then i feather it up in a v pattern and you want to lightly and gently feather that up. So as a nice gradient and then as it meets in the middle, then you're going to saturate all that hair down there. So it has a nice beautiful blend and then i put another foil because it's quite long and then i'm going to stick another foil on top and fold that up. So i don't disrupt the pattern that we just did. Okay, now we are on the sides of the hair, so we are going to lightly put a foil in the front here and weave that out. So we have that nice brightness around the face, i'm going to take down that clip and i'm going to diagonal it. The other way just for speed, so we can make the maximum impact with minimal effort and i'm going from back to front and i'm going to leave out a section and tease it and then place a foil and just paint the lightener on and fold it on Up the reason why i took a thick weave on this section is because it's really hard to see any foils in this section because it hides with the hair. So that way, i do a thicker one right there and you'll see as i get more and more closer to the hairline, i get a thinner and thinner weave and i'm still teasing it right now. As i get closer to the hairline you'll see me do more and more foils and smaller weaves, and then i stop teasing at some point and do it right close to the root. This is for more brightness around the face, do and repeat on the other side. After you're done with this side and in the back, we have that top section. Still from that horseshoe section that we have and then i just put the remainder of the hair into two bottom sections and on this top section here before i continue to the bottom. I'M going to do a few more tease, weave sections on the top on these tees sections. It creates a natural ombre effect because you're teasing the hair, so it actually creates its own gradient and you can see with all these sections that i'm teasing i'm feathering it up into that teeth and you'll see here when i show the back. I'Ve already done the right bottom section and we're going to start with the left section and we're going to weave that out and we are going to tease it and we're starting about at the middle of the head, because we just want to blend this. All in and i'm only going to paint the end, so i'm starting with my v and feathering it up and i'm going to saturate it in the foil and because we're just doing the ends. I just fold the sides as you'll see here in a second. I am one of those hairdressers that like to do the balayage, even in foils, instead of just freehanding it, because i like how foils lighten up the hair, foils incubate, the hair, better and lighten better. A fun fact i have is that i actually named this wig viola, biola's gon na have that money piece. Oh yeah you'll, see me part it in a zigzag. Then i also weave it out just so it has the most natural effect, and i tease it. I'M doing another v and, as i'm feathering up the top of the v's i'll, actually put the side closest to the face up higher on the one side and then, as i'm getting to the top section i'll just do a v and we're gon na. Do one more v at the top here, i'm putting the sides up higher because we're getting up higher on the head. These are the remainder of the pieces of the top, and here i'm doing a weave and tease and feathering up all the way with no v. And i believe that this is my last foil that i'm going to do here, and it should start looking like that. And here i'm going to tone with one ounce: 7p, one ounce 6t and a half an ounce 6n with two and a half ounces of processing solution. I am toning with quite cool shades because it turned up really warm and to get it to a neutral color. Just like to match the neutral base, we need to tone it with ashy colors, because then it will create neutral and it will match the base better and i've. Let the rest of the hair sit for about five minutes and i'm doing this money piece very last, because i'm going to watch it and i want to be the lightest piece on the head. So i'm going to literally watch it turn the right, color and you'll. Literally see here it changing right before your eyes and see it's not quite ready, but it's getting more and more of a neutral tone and it's almost there and that's the right tone. So we're going to rinse and shampoo and you'll see here as i'm shampooing out the color. It is the perfect color for the look that we are going for today and here's the color how it turned out and i'm in love with this color, and i absolutely cannot wait to wear it. So, let's put it on okay, we are doing the bald cap method today, so i'm going to stretch it out. So it's nice and comfortable. The point of the bald cap method is to cut off that thick band in the front so that it lays nice and flat. So i'm taking my got to be glued gel and i'm going to put that on the hairline. Now we're going to blow dry that in until it gets tacky just on cool, you want to blow dry it and then we're going to take the got to be glued hairspray and then i'm going to spray it all over that hairline above the thick band, and I still have the ears in just because i want to focus on that middle front and then i'm going to cut out the ears and you make sure to not cut yourself. While doing this, you want to be nice and careful and then i'm going to spray. It again and then glue those corners down really well and blow dry, that in and you want to make sure that it's all the way dry before you start cutting this band and basically i'm using cuticle trimmers, because i want to get as close as i can. So basically i look bald, so it will melt into my skin better and the wig will melt into my skin better. Also, that's what you want to see, and so now we're going to put on the wig and pretty much just glue it down. So we want to adjust it and then i'm going to clip back the hair and then we're going to use our got to be glue gel and apply that all over the hairline and blow dry that in a little bit until it just gets tacky so that You can put this over it and then i'm going to use that got to be glued hairspray a little bit around the edges as well, and then, after this part, you want to make sure it's all the way dry before you use the cuticle scissors again and You'Ll notice, as i'm cutting, i am actually making diagonal zigzags back and forth so that it's not a straight line that way it'll melt better into the skin, and then i got to be glued hair sprayed it again and then i'm going to blow dry it all. The way and here's after you
