So if there is anything that you've been struggling with as far as application to customization of a wig make sure you go ahead and drop me a comment so that i can know what to bring for my next wig tip tuesday. And let's jump right into this. Video hi everyone happy tuesday, so today's video, i'm back with a tip to share with you guys how to create the ultimate fake scalp in your wigs. So if you remember this wig from sunday, i did a full install with it. I am going to be rocking this style for the rest of the week. I absolutely love it. It'S so convenient. I will be sure to link this wig below in the description box, so you can check out sunday's video and you can get a discount with the link below so because i didn't really show you how the wig straightened out in sunday's video. I mostly showed you guys how to get the curls nice and defined and diffusing, and all that good stuff. Today, i want to show you how this wig will look if you were to straighten it out and i think that's very important, because you want to know if your curly wigs can straighten so that you can get the most versatility when wearing your wigs. So i took the beyond the zone, turn up the heats heat protectant and sprayed it all over the hair. Prior to this, because i am using a high amount of heat, i want to make sure that the hair is protected. Now i want to give you a little bit of tips too here when it comes to your curly wigs. If you plan on straightening them, you may want to also be cautious on the products that you're using prior. So if you plan on straightening the hair, definitely don't use any product, that's going to define the curls, try to keep the products very lightweight. If you don't want the hair to be weighed down, you definitely want the hair to have a lightweight feel to it. So keep that in mind another thing when it comes to curly hair is that you're not going to get it to be without texture, and that's the great thing about curly styles, taking them from curly to straight? If your natural hair has natural texture to it, it's going to mimic your hair for anyone who wants to wear a wig but still want to look like they're wearing their real hair and because this wig is so lightweight gives a really comfortable wear. So you don't have to worry about it feeling uncomfortable you don't need to worry about having to do too much to it. It'S a very low maintenance type of wig. However, in today's video i do want to share with you how to create that fake scalp um and give you guys a lot of tips on getting the best results when trying to achieve a fake scalp. Look in the wig. I do notice with that. With this wig, the knots are visible and on most curly wigs, the knots are more visible than regular straight hair. Wigs so coming up. Those tips will be very useful. You'Re gon na see that in a second but i'm gon na go ahead and finish straightening out this hair, and then we will be back to go into the fake scalp method, okay, so to get the best method when it comes to creating the fake scalp, you Have to understand what you are doing for one so anytime, you get your wig, it most likely will come with lightly bleached knots. You can either go and re-bleach them to cover the knots, but before you decide to do anything with your wig as far as putting in a fake scalp insert or whatever you want to make sure the knots are hidden. What people fail to realize is that the fake scalp method does not cover the knot, so you need something to do that. I'Ve been using the even tinted lace for a couple of months now, and i find that doing this can also not only just cover or not, but it can replace bleaching the knots with chemicals, if you really don't have the skills to do it. So i like to take the even tinted, lace and spray it all over the cap. Now, normally i will let this air dry. However, i find that you can take a cool setting on your dryer and get it to dry faster, even though it's recommended to let it air dry. Now this product will also tint the lace and change the color, so you want to make sure you are using a color that is suitable for your complexion, i'm using a light warm brown. However, this product does come in several different shades from fair to dark, so make sure you're choosing a color that match your scalp color or you can mix and match. Sometimes i've i've done that just to get the right color once it's dry. It should not rub off okay, so now it's time to hide the grids. Once you have the knots covered, it's important to make sure that you are using the face scout method to get rid of the grids of the lace, because it's so pointless to cover the knots if the lace is still going to be visible. So this product right here is a silicone based product. It'S almost like, i think it's something like the scar way, but it's more delicate. It'S softer and it looks more like skin to me. So i found this online and i thought it was very interesting. It already comes in like a tape, roll and you can just peel it off. You don't have to cut it. You don't have to do anything. I will be sure to link it below in the description box. It'S very inexpensive and you can use this for several different, wigs or just one wig over and over again, i find that i can reuse the same tape now. This is very comfortable. It'S not thick, it's not hot! I think the other one that i used was a scar way before and that one was a bit on the thicker side. This feels very soft and it's very breathable, so you don't have to worry about. Like hearing crunchy sounds when you go to. You know scratch your head, so with these silicone sheets, all i'm doing is taking them, they're already cut and then just applying them on the inside of the cap. You don't need to put a lot you almost at the most. You only need about three strips um, because when you go to part, you mostly are parting in the center of the wig anyway, this is a 13x6 cap, so you don't need to worry about the sides unless you want to. You also want to make sure to put it like a half an inch to two inches behind the hairline. You want to leave enough room. So when you go to glue down your wig, it does not interfere with your wig install as far as the glue and everything. So as you can see, the parting is looking very good. Now, like i said, the three steps to this is one bleaching, the knots or using a makeup or lace tint to cover the knots two. You want to also then go and proceed with any material that you feel like will give a skin type of look under the wig it's like today. I use the silicone the tape and i feel like that looks like skin to me like, so it is almost better than the material just because it does have a really soft feel to it and it's not hot. It feels comfortable and you can reuse it. Take it out put it in, however, you want so, let's take a closer look at the scalp, so you guys can see for yourself how good this is and, as you can see, there's no lines or anything when i do apply this wig in a second. You can really get to see. You know what the separation looked like from the forehead to the actual silicone tape, but so far going down the parting. There is no grids. There is no knots on this wig as you can see so everything i use work hand in hand with each other, and i will also be sure to put all these products below in the description box and again remember the fake scalp material itself is not meant To hide the knots, it's meant to hide the grids on the lace. Okay, so this looks amazing. You guys so good all right. So let's go ahead and i'm gon na install this wig and show you guys what it looked like in stock, [ Applause ]. Once i applied this, to be honest, i really like the way this look. It is so natural. The hair texture straighten out, looks like natural hair. The hairline is gorgeous, so i decided not even to glue it down. So this is what everything looks like and i haven't even glued it down. However, later on this week, i will come back with a glue install, so you guys will see it glued down later, and i'm also going to do another style for this wig later this week. So make sure your notifications are turned on one tip. I can give you when it comes to this method, is when you go to apply your wig, make sure that the actual um silicone base that you put in the inside or the fake scalp material, whatever you're, using make sure it's lined up, where the edge of It is touching your forehead and not sitting on top of your hair. If that makes sense, if it's not laying flat, there will be a line of separation showing. I just want to give you guys that tip also, as you guys can see, this hair does curl. So, on this side of the hair, i curled it at 350 and i felt like it curled, okay um, but if you want to get the best results when curling his hair put your curler on 400 and as you can see right here, the curl will come Out a lot more tight and yeah, i just absolutely love how natural this wig look, and i am so excited to come back later this week with another video with this wig, because i have a style in mind that i want to do and when i tell You guys, i know it's going to look so natural. You guys wait till thursday. Okay, i'm coming back with this wig again, if you haven't seen my first video on it with it in its natural state and how i installed it definitely go to that.
