How To Cut Faux Bangs Or Fringe Into Your Hair Topper

Hi Sharon Danley here with another Two Minute Tip. This week, I'm going to show you how I made a topper into bangs. Now I need to make a point here. Those with thin fine hair like mine, is, if I were to cut bangs into my fine hair. They just would not look good they'd still be too thin and sparse, and that hair that I take from the sides to put into banks. I need that down the sides, so this gives me the option of having bangs or having no bangs, and it's so easy to do. Okay, so now I'm going to put it on this is a kind of a you know. Just should I wash my hair, or should I not day so I've just tied it up now. Let me see you can see how flat my hair is. So what I'm going to do first is: do this curve around the crown of my hair, bring it all up and I'm going to I'm not going to use a bump it today, I'm just back combing, so I get the lift that I need and just fix Out of it and I'm gon na take the front middle part of my bangs and backcomb them back now, there's a few different ways. This can be worn for sure and I'm just I'm still playing around with it now here it is out of its ruler. I'Ve trimmed it and I open up the little clips to pay clips. They'Re called that's the correct name for them and spring them open. Now I'm going to place it in the center here, push it in and then the one back here and clip it down, get my comb here. Now I've trimmed it and thinned it some more, and I think I think it suits me just a little bit better. It feels just just feels a little bit more like my own hair, rather than wearing a hairpiece now again, because I'm gon na wear my hair up. I'M not gon na worry about the size of it, but you can see how I can blend this right in with my own hair, and I can bring my own bangs into the picture too, which are right here. I can put them in or not or whatever. So I think that looks a little bit better as far as fullness and length is concerning now. If I wanted to wear these back back further I'll show you I just unclip, push it back further and push it in place and adjust it back here there. My bangs are shorter, so you know you have the option, so I suggest, if you're, when you're doing this yourself, you cut them a little bit on the shorter side so or not shorter side, the longer side so that you can um you can adjust. If you want to so yeah, I think I'm pretty happy with with the way that looks now all I'm going to do, because my hair, the rest of my hair, isn't isn't in that great a you know. It needs, like. I said it needs shampooing, which I will do tonight, so I'm just giving it a little bit of back home. I'M gon na grab it all up like a ponytail, I'm just gon na wrap it around. My fingers like that and then take a long bobby pin. Yes, I know I shouldn't do that with my teeth and then just spread the topper as I need to, and then you see the bangs at the sides, how they just come down and just blend in pretty pretty easily and because it's closing color to my own Hair, it gives it, you know it blends and works great. So I don't I'm not wearing a lot of hair on top of my head or at the back so on hot days. I can, you know just put it up in this role. I need I'll have to look at it in a few minutes to straighten it out a little bit, but that's the way I'm going to wear it for today. You can also wear it in a ponytail or, let's suppose another thing that you could do is wear it at the back. Like is chignon. Now I'm just gon na put a simple little thing in here, because I would most likely have to add another hair piece. So it can be worn down there and little tendrils of your own, hair and or plus the the topper hair can be used, and this could be like filled out or whatever. So there's lots of ways to wear this and and blend it in and, as I said now that I finished cutting it and getting it the weight that's better suited for for me for my hair type. I think that now I can move on to the next step and play around and figure out styles. I can wear with this, so it's fast and easy and takes me wherever I want to go. Looking and feeling great here are three samples that were sent to me by Yoona wigs and I decided on the number three and, as you can see, it was a good match to my own hair. I decided on the 18 inch length because I wasn't really sure what I was going to do with this topper so always best to have it a little bit on the long side and here's the underneath part of it - and here is the top. It has a monofilament top. That means it looks like a scalp. I tried it on top about an inch or two back from my hairline and again I was very happy with the color selection it blended in beautifully and I'm just a happy camper with it. Now, a couple of the tools that you will need is a wig stand or holder that you can clip on to any counter and either a styrofoam or canvas head that you place on top, so that you can secure your topper or wig extensions or whatever. It is you're working on onto it. Next I measured my own bangs, which come down to my chin and then measured it on the topper and cut the topper accordingly. Now because I decided that the topper was just a little too thick for me, I decided to remove a fair bit of it because it was just going to be bangs and these leftover pieces. I can certainly use elsewhere now, in order for this to look very natural on me, I decided that I had to take some of the weight out of the monofilament area, and that meant just removing it with tweezers just a few hairs at a time and as You can see there, it is laying next to it. That was enough of the hair that I needed to take out to have it look and feel like my own now I happen to have another set of bangs, for when my hair wasn't as grey as it is now, and I simply use that as a template. Now into the fine-tuning I removed a bit more hair and remeasured a little bit, and then I turned the edges over to make the base just a little bit smaller and make it really clean on the outside. Finally, I sewed in three toupee combs - and I was all set to go and styling was very simple. All I had to do was mist the hair with a bit of water, wrap it in a couple of rollers, one roller for the bangs and one for the back, put it in the closet until I needed it and voila whenever I need it. Take the two rollers out: throw it on fast and easy, as demonstrated earlier and mama loves, so that's it once you've got it all together. The way you like and fits you the way like there's all kinds of things you can do with this. This is just one fast and easy French roll, and it's great for days when you, how am I gon na, wear my hair? Should I wash it or shouldn't I, it's just a really easy, really light, really comfortable thing to do with your hair anyway, as usual.. It'S Fast, It's Easy and It's! Oh So Chic. We'll see you next time.
