How I Lay My Type 4 Hair Under This Wig ! (No Stocking Cap, Glue, Or Cornrows) | Shanny Stephens

Hi guys welcome back to my channel and if you are new hi my name is shani. Thank you so much for clicking to watch this video. What'S up, what's good with you, thank you for being here so in today's video, i'm going to be showing you guys how i lay my wigs without any bow hold any glue, we're not doing that over here, any tape, um and without braiding down your hair, because I didn't break down my hair, so if you guys are interested in how i laid this wig and made it look like a sew-in, let's just go ahead and hop into this video, but before we hop into this video just go ahead and subscribe all right. I'M going to start off by wetting, my hair, so that i can lay it down. I have to add a lot of water to my hair in order to like be able to manage it, so i'm just splitting it in half and adding some more water and then i'm going to start to detangle by section. So i'm going to clip this part out of the way and i'm going to start off by detangling with this brush that i got from rpg show. It really didn't take me a long time to detangle my hair, but it did take me a minute to lay my hair all down, so i detangled that part and now i'm just twisting it and putting it in a bantu knot. So it will stay stretched and out of the way, while i detangle the top section of my hair, as you guys can see, i already did the other side of my hair off camera. So that is what it's going to look like when i'm done with everything. I'M supposed to be doing so, i'm just detangling with that same brush all right now, once this back section is laid down, i'm going to take the clip off of the top section and put it into a low pigtail or braided pigtail, whatever you want to call It i'm just laying my hair down, so i can put the wig right on top of it and i'm going to keep brushing it until i get it as smooth as possible and pull some baby hairs out, because i'm going to need this to make the wig Look more like a sew-in and more natural. Now i'm going to take a hair tie and just put my hair in a pigtail or whatever you want to call it and braid it out of the way, and i'm using these hair ties to keep my hair stretched and flat and then once i feel like It'S set down into place, i'm going to take the bows out and put the wig on, so i'm just going to keep braiding this until i am done and then i'm going to wrap it up with my hair tie and do my eye makeup in the meantime. So it can kind of set and mold into place and then i'll move on to putting the wig and styling it and doing everything i need to do all right, so the wig that i'm going to be wearing is from my first wigs shout out to my First, wigs for sponsoring this video, so that's the wig i'm going to be wearing. This is how it looks right out of the box. This is the inside. It has two combs in it and it also has a comb at the bottom of the wig at the nape of your neck, and this wig already comes pre-made with adjustable straps in it. So you can make the wig tighter okay. So with this wig, my first wig provided me with a wig stand whatever you call this to put my wig on and then in your box. I also got a wig cap, a pouch that has instructions in it. It comes with two clamps bobby pins fly away. Tamer and this elastic band, which is what i'm going to use to make my wig, lay really really flat. Alright, so i'm taking the elastic band and i'm pulling it taut and i'm going to measure it from ear to ear and that's how long the elastic band should be so just make sure you pull it taut. So the band does what it needs to do once you sew it onto your wig and now i'm just going to cut the excess off and sew this onto my wig, all right y'all. So i went ahead and did my eye makeup and brows, as you guys can see, to give my hair time to like mold and get flatter and dry a little bit, because i did put a lot of water in it. So that just gave me time to do my eye makeup. Okay, so the unit that i got is named mfs002. The texture that i got is silky the length that i got is 20 inches. The hair color that i got is natural is a natural hair color. The cap size that i got is size. One in the circumference is 21.5 inches through 22 inches. I literally measured my head to make sure i got the right size wig, because sometimes when i get wigs, it's a little too big in the back be flapping and when all that stuff, so i made sure i measured my head and then the cap construction. I got a six inch deep part line because sometimes when i get wigs, i don't like when the parting is like just this much nah. That'S not that's not gon na work for me, so i want the parting to come back like a little bit more i'll. Show you guys when i take um this off my head, but i like the parting to be deep and then i have a glueless lace, cap wig and the lace color is light brown taking this off yes waves. Yes, this is how the braids are. Looking. My hair is still wet, but it's okay, um, i'm just going to take these bows out of my head. I put them there to kind of keep my hair stretched, but right now i got to take them out because i want this wig to lay flat. Okay, now i'm taking some bobby pins and i'm going to pin these braids off to the side. Pin it over like this just so it lays flat, and then i'm going to take this one and pin it over and just pin it and it should stay secure. So i think we're good all right, so i probably should put the wig cap on, but i don't want to put the wig cap on that's extra steps that i don't feel like taking all right. So now i'm just putting the wig on my head just to see where the lace is going to fall and then i'm going to cut the lace off all right. Now, i'm just going to sew the elastic band. I'M going to try to show you all this. On camera, but girl it's about to be hard, so these are like the flaps right by your sideburns and that's where you need to place your band okay. So i went ahead and sewed one piece of the elastic band onto the wig and now i'm going to sew the other piece on on camera, even though this is kind of difficult to do on camera, because i got ta hold it up, but i'm pretty sure You guys will appreciate me showing you guys this part, because this is how your wig is going to lay without the glue and without all that extra stuff, so i'm gon na lay it flat right on the wig like this. I really hope y'all can see this. Oh, my gosh, and once you get this elastic band on you're, pretty much good, so i'm just gon na keep looping it over this video is a whole mess all right, so i'm at the end of it, and now i'm just going to loop it one more Time through the elastic band and the wig and then tie it around three times and then knot it, so it won't go nowhere and now i'm just going to cut the excess thread off all right. So this is how the wig is looking with the elastic band. On it all right, so now i'm just going to put this on my head, i'm going to start off with the elastic band and then i'm going to pull the rest of the wig over my head and i'm just going to pull the wig back behind my Hairline and pull some of my edges out and then lay them down with some eco styler gel. Now, i'm just going to straighten this wig out. Lay this part a little bit more. I don't feel like. I need to pluck the parting, because it just looks really good already and i don't want to like touch it and mess it up. So i just want to leave it like this. My flat iron is heating up. So now i'm just going to plug the wand. In because the wand that i'm using, which i got from tj maxx, is what i'm going to use to like lay the parting. Now i'm just going to straighten this out, because i want it to be straight. Yes, inches yeah all right, so i'm really not doing too much to straighten this hair out. I just want it to be straight all right. So, moving on to the top of this wig, i'm taking my curling wand, which is really hot - i don't know how hot it gets, but it gets really hot and i'm just going to use this go over the parting. You can also do this with a hot comb. I don't have my hot comb right now. It actually broke, but either or you can use a hot comb or you can do what i'm doing in this video and i'm just going to repeat that process. On the other side of my head - hopefully i didn't confuse you guys too much like, especially when i was trying to sew it on and show y'all that was a whole mess. It'S really not hard at all. It'S not really time consuming at all. The only thing that was time consuming was laying my hair down other than that, once you get the elastic band onto the wig and put it on your head, you're literally good, so yeah, i'm done talking y'all heads off. I really hope you guys like this video.
