Hello, thank you for joining me today. I'M going to be showing you how to style this and way too right behind me. It'S a half wig or 3/4 wig. If you want to be more exact, this is the wig that goes to the back of your hair. So you don't have to style the back of it, and also you can have a lot more hair than you usually do. And then you just have to start the front of your hair to match it and also to hide the connection between your real hair. And this way I already styled it and film the process, so I'm gon na be showing you that part. I'M also gon na, be showing you how to connect this wig and how to start the front of your hair. But first let me just tell you about this wig in general and how I work with it. I bought this wig off of ebay. It cost me not more than $ 20, so it's really really cheap investment. They then die this wig. It is synthetic. So you can't really use hair dye, so what I do I use fabric dye, so I use these two colors there by the company width, which makes a fabric type. They start for synthetic fabrics. I felt this is appropriate because with synthetic hair - and it does work perfectly - I used a lot of the pink and just a bit of the purple. If you saw my hair dyeing tutorial, you already know I mix in some purple with my hair dye to make it cooler. So I also do the same when I dyed synthetic hair to use with my own hair to dye synthetic hair. I just do it. The same as the instructions for fabric dyeing that comes with this hair dye so just follow the instructions, but to make it more pasta, of course, I'm using extra water. Then then I cut it. I cut it in a new shape to give it more vintage haircut. You can see the front is a bit shorter and the back is a bit longer. So, even though it's very long, it still has this u-shape. This is super useful. If you don't want to stay on here. Very often, personally, my hair is very bleached, so I don't wan na over hit it over styling and over process it like I usually do so. Every chance I get to get a little a short cut. I really love using that. This is why I'm gon na try this out today. I'M really excited to see how it comes out. I did use it before, but not in this style, not in this vintage style. Just like straight, I did just cut my hair very recently, so this is probably the shortest my hair has been in a while. So this is actually a good opportunity, because the makeover is gon na be a bit more extreme. Before I cut it, it was pretty much this length, so it makes sense to put on this wig sometimes before I have something important like an event or reverse Vegas, or even at my wedding. I started my own hair and I always delighted if I should use a half-wave and I'm not doing it because things didn't work out. But I think this is very useful for these kind of situations when you're very stressed, and you need the hair to just be ready and pull it on and start the front. It'S very difficult to start the back of your hair when you're like excited or you have butterflies or something important is about to happen, and you have a lot counting on the hairstyle. So this is, I think, perfect for this kind of occasions to just have perfect hair ready and put it on, and that's it that's. I think, but let's see today, if I actually like it and if it comes out as good as I expect it to okay. Here we go so I started out with this wig. It wasn't straight because they already styled it before. That'S why it's a bit rough to brush it. So I'm grabbing this section and I'm rolling it around a metal, hair, roll making, sure the piece of hair is really small and that the ends are neatly tucked in I'm. Taking this pin and just putting it into the doll's head and just repeat through the entire hair, I'm doing all this on dry hair, but I'm gon na add some product and some water later. If you wish, you can do it before, you can add some water or product to the hair before you roll it, okay, so here's the last roll I'm now gon na be taking a hairnet and just putting the whole wig through the net. This is to prevent flyaways, I'm taking some product and some water and just bring it over the wig. I'M now gon na take this hair drying head and connect it to my blow dryer. This is used to dry and heat the hair in an evenly mater. I'M turning it on on medium heat and medium strength. I'M gon na be leaving it like this for at least half an hour or until I take out one roll and it's curled perfectly I've taken out all the rolls now, I'm gon na start by brushing the hair and loosening the curls a bit, and now I'm Using a comb to come through the hair and find the waves, I love working with synthetic hair, as you can see, I just keep brushing and common through it, and the cars are still there if it was my own hair. At this point it would probably be kind of straight already from all the combing, so this is really really fun to brush through. So I'm happy with a wave, I start using some hairspray, I'm using heavy-duty hairspray, just because it's a wig and using some alligator clips. Just to put everything in place, so it's easier to work, hands are kind of the most annoying part. You need to really roll them in and make sure they're, not too frizzy, I'm using hairspray and kind of petting there up. So all the ends just become one unit. So I'm now going to show you this dyeing process you can see. My hair is very very straight and got a sky just the front of my hair. So I'm now going to section it off I'm creating a line from ear to ear and putting it away. For now, I'm dividing the back of my hair into two sections and braiding them now back to the front section, I'm taking a 19 millimeter curling iron and just creating rolls with it on this side of my face Southwest hair from some reason. So I'm just creating one Carole from this part and on the other side, there's gon na be two rolls taking a hair clip and putting it in. So it can cool off in a tight Carol during the center front section backwards towards the back of my hair. While this currents cool off I'm gon na, go back to the back of my hair, I'm putting up the braids using bobby pins to secure it in place. Finally, I'm attaching the wig here you can see the inside of it. It has calm and it has some clips, so I'm just opening them. I'M placing the wig on the top of my head securing the come in securing the clips into my hair, I'm taking off the clips and starting to loosen the cards on my real hair and I'm teasing these parts by calming them. So there's more more volume and it's easier to work with. I am grabbing a brush and kind of smoothing the outside layer of this front, part and kind of coming it backwards. So it hides the connection between the wig and my real hair, securing it with hairspray and some bobby pins doing the same. On the other side, it's gon na be a bit tilted to the side, so you can already tell I'm kind of already tilting it to my right side using some suave asita shine spray to help liven up. I think my curls fine, I'm kind of improvising. This weird style and using u-shaped pins to put it in place, I'm just building it up in layers and putting the rest of the hair back. So it doesn't get in the way of my styling and I'll touches using some hairspray to set everything and a clear hairnet just because I like hair nets and they keep everything in place. So this is the end result you can see. I have now tons of hair. This might be a bit too much for some people. That'S okay! I like to go all out and go to the extreme of faith. Peanut beauty. I also think this was pretty easy. If I wouldn't have done this complicated design, I could have just like stabbed my hair in a wave to blend right in or they like fast victory wall or anything like that. But I think this is pretty cute. The combination of this this element with the over-styled and big waves - I really hope you liked this tutorial.

I usually use human hair wigs - because I’m afraid that the synthetic wig will react weird with the humidity outside - what is your experience with the synthetic hair outside ?
