What'S up guys this afternoon, I'm back with another voiceover, so today's video I'm going to be partnering up with levy here, to show you all how install to spoil a swig and I'm gon na be showing you all the full customization process me, don't just him! I can I'm sorry, but me styling the hair and me actually installing the wig. So this is a Brazilian 130 density. Natural wave lace, front wig and it is in 24 inches. So all of the hair specs will be down below in the description bar and a link as well, and also I have a coupon code for you all, so you all can say $ 10 off so save y'all coin. First, I'm starting off by bleaching my nuts, because you don't want to have those black dots on the lace, because that just makes it look so unrealistic. So first, I'm gon na take this Claro or Tara saw. I forgot how to pronounce it honestly, but I'm just gon na take this powder blue bleach and I'm gon na take this 30 valium developer. I like to use blue bleach because it helps me eliminate the toning process, because if you use white bleach, your roots may come out like real brassy and orange, and then you have to go in with the purple shampoo or some type of purple. Toner to you know, cancel out the orange tones, but using a blue or like a purple tone bleach. This just you know tones it all and one so I'm actually taking a tooth brush rather than a normal dyeing brush. Just because I feel like with a tooth brush, I could get more detailed and it's not as messy, because with the normal dyeing brush every time. I do that my roots be [, __, ], blind and then it just [ __ ] up the whole look. So yeah I'm just doing that with a tooth brush and also I like to go in and pull the hair out of the bleach if it is like seeping through. I just take the hairs and I pull them. So you know the roots won't get died or anything like that and it's just on the knives. So that's a little trick that I've learned with trial and error, because every time I used to bleach my nights, my roots would be [, __, ] lie and, like my baby has to be blind. So after doing this method, it's been so much easier. [ __ ], okay, so now I'm just gon na start plucking my wig, and to do this, I'm just gon na take some tweezers and, like strategically, you know, pluck a few hairs from the front of the hairline and then eventually, I'm just gon na part. It come on out, for it come on yep part it I can fight it and then I'm just gon na take away some of the thickness from the head line right there, because, as you can see, it's pretty thick because in the end I wanted to be Like a gradient, so I'm just gon na keep [ __ ] [ __ ] [, __ ]. Until you know, I get my desired thickness and y'all. Don'T look as much hair in the beginning, as you may think you need to because you can always go back and and plus, even when it's on your head. So you know just take my advice and don't put no bald spots in your wig and just pluck it when it's on your head. If you have to so be careful with this part, because it can go wrong and we're gon na move on to the styling process, and since this is natural wave hair, I'm just going to wet it and you know just to find the curls a little bit. So I'm just gon na take some water mixed with like a little bit of conditioner and calm that through the hair and then I'm gon na take some leave-in conditioner. This is just the motions or yeah motions: leave-in conditioner, I'm just gon na spray that in so you know it could be conditioning and feel good and then I'm gon na take some mousse Norma. I don't wait. Come on what I'm just gon na keep calming it in here come on boy. I'M gon na take some oil, some Garnier Fructis. For you. This is just the first oil that I found. You will literally say any way that you need and be careful with the oil, because, if you over do this product, your head will be stringy and it'll be oily and it will just not look cute. So a little goes a long way with oil and then I'm gon na take some moves just to set all of that product together and to set the curls in place - and you know give me some nice and defined curls. So, as you can see, I realized that I needed to go back in and pluck some more because it was too thick. So, like I said, please take your time with this. You can always go back and pluck some more out just take your time with this. So now I'm just going to scrunch up the curl, so it could be a little bit more defined. This is a little trick that I used to do my natural hair, so yeah, if you have curly hair, make sure to scrunch up the curls, and now I'm gon na do the baby hairs. So I'm just gon na start off by you know just trimming some hairs around the hairline and my key to baby hairs is to make them as short as possible. You will see what I mean when I start you know actually doing the baby hairs, because some of the baby hairs were too long. That'S just a personal preference. Some people like long baby hairs, I, like short, baby hairs because it mimics like actual realistic hairline, because you know your baby hairs and your edges aren't long like this. You see what I mean, but they aren't what some people's are. But it looks more realistic when they're shorter, so I went in and just raised it some more off some more hair off and then, when I go back in and then I do the baby hairs again, it will look more realistic. You see what I mean like it just wait. I don't wait. You see, they're gon na take some more off, take some more off and come on boy. Okay, you see now. It looks like way more realistic. Now that I made some baby hair shorter. So I'm just gon na do that around the whole perimeter, the hair for the baby hairs and I'm just gon na tie it up with the regular bandana and let that set and we're gon na move on to the wig cap. Okay. So, to start off with my wave captain's, just gon na call my hair back, because you know my hair benighted I'll talk about it. We just not gon na talk about it. So then, I'm just gon na take some guys to be glue, and just you know, gel down my hair. You can literally take any Jo just make sure that your hair is flat because you don't want like a bumpy a swig. So just make sure your hair is flat, I'm just gon na chill that down and then I'm just gon na apply my wig cap. The same way that I did in my last video, if you all want like a detailed, detailed wait to tell you for like my wig cap and stuff, like that I'll do that for y'all. But literally it's just me: gelling down my hair, putting on a wig cap, putting some foundation on the cap, cutting it off and so just watch what I'm doing very closely yeah. You want to say something girl anyway, yeah just watch what I'm doing and you should get the hang of it. I got this method right here by cutting my ears out from glamazon taking on YouTube, but when I see her do this I was like [ __ ]. You deserve a Nobel Peace Prize, because Einstein I saw in this video artist thing ever ever since I started doing this. My wig cap method has been so much easier and so much cleaner and just overall better. So I would 100 % recommend cutting your ears out when you're doing a wig cap, rather than just putting it over your ears, because that's just hard it's just as hard and we trying to work smarter, not harder. Okay! So now I'm just gon na pop on my wig and just see how everything looks hip is laying rights and it's giving me you know scalp or whatever, and then I'm just gon na go ahead and adjust my wig cap. If I need to like for this part right here, the sideburn was too long on my wig cap. So I just went ahead and you know just cut off a little piece of that, and now I'm gon na cut my lace into three parts. I like doing this because it gives me a more detailed application and a better application overall, rather than you know, just going the whole thing down and one so now, I'm gon na take these scissors. I honestly don't know what to call them, but you don't know when you're always in like grammar school, and you have to do arts and crafts and they have like those design scissors and they cut in, like all different sizes and shapes in just different ways and Stuff, that's basically what these are. I didn't want to take some straight scissors, because if I cut the lace straight, you could kind of see the line of demarcation from the lace in my skin, so cutting it in this jagged weight, which is give the illusion of you know, the lace is coming Out your scalp and it's getting scalped, so I will 100 110 percent recommend you know investing in some of those scissors, because that just makes the lace application look way much better. So now I'm gon na start going down the lace and to do this, I'm just gon na take this brown lip liner that I use - and you know just mark out the lace, because I don't want to put too much glue because if I put too much Glue then it would just be too much, and now I have to you know: go back anyway, alcohol and clean it up and that's just gon na be a mess. So, by doing this, you could map out exactly where you want to put your lace and it would just be so much easier and I'm gon na take the ghost vine. This is waterproof and sweat proof. I believe I really don't know, but I was gon na. Take two layers of that only do two layers, because you're already known three layers just too much and this big all week, I'm taking a big job tonight, so I'm just gon na do that and blow-dry it and hop on the way. Okay. So now, as you can see, some of the lace has like glue residue, so I'm just gon na take some alcohol on a q-tip and just lightly go ahead and take off some of that glue. Then I'm gon na do my baby hairs by just taking that same mousse or the same foam or whatever, and just go ahead and mold the baby hairs in the place where I want them to be, and honestly I just do the baby hairs like random. I I feel like this is just a gift for me to be able to do baby hairs, because not everybody can do baby is very good, but I don't know what to tell you this. You just gon na have to practice practice. Make some hair say. Trust me, but now I'm just gon na wrap it up with the bandana just to let everything set down and once I take it off, we are ready to go so overall. I really do like this hair. I really would recommend this hair. It'S only 175 or the unit that I have so I feel, like that's a good deal for a floralytes unit and it's pretty good hair. I haven't worn it for so long. I only want it for like the day or two. So don't quote me on like the longevity of it, but as far as the styling of it, it was pretty good. I did get like minimum shedding, but overall it was pretty good. So I really do hope you all enjoyed this video. If you are want me to do any more wig tutorials, let me know I love you all so much, and I will see you all in my next video bye, [ __ ], you
Comments
Jo Davin: Because you respected the wig,the wig respected you,observing how delicate you were with the whole process is nice to see...you are a true artist.x
peepla7: The zig zag scissors are called pinking shears, they are designed to prevent raveling for certain fabrics, so it makes perfect sense to use them on Swiss lace as well. That's the old school explanation and I know the old school explanation because I'm old. Hahaha

mskaybee: Hey Alfred, First off all great video!! Plus cutting the wig cap with a razor makes sense as a scissors causes the wig to roll up which then has to be re-glued. Also the scissors you used to cut the lace are called ' pinking shears/scissors' . I have never seen a tutorial where anyone use those even though most ppl cut in a zig zag, so great tip! + cutting the ears out. I would like to see a series where you review affordable wigs!

Doggy Boy: Cool! You make great content, but I have a story to share. Well I'm just a 12 year old boy, and I have always loved the idea of long hair . Some people would say "long hair is for girls", just like"dolls are for girls". But I just kept ignoring it. A few weeks later (February 30, 2020), I finally found the boldness to ask my dad, "Can I get a wig, please?" I thought he was gonna yell at me. He said "we don't have the money on mom's card right now." So i just dropped it, but I got suspicious when I got on his phone. He ordered $9.98 apple earphones 2-pack, and glasses to make him look cool on his b-day. So the next day I confronted him and said "You do have money, I saw your Amazon ordered items. You're not slick!", he responded with "Wigs are for girls! Why do you want a wig?!" At that point I was just... Speechless. We were our way to pick up my mom, and sister from the airport. On our way I kept asking I even promised that I wouldn't tell my mom, sister, or anyone, promised to keep my grades ☝. Then he asked "Why don't you just grow out your hair? Get it braided back?", I said "You know I don't have that kind of patience." From that point on I was about to give up but I asked one more time, and he yelled angrily "Order the dang thing!". If I could just explain how fast a tapped the "Buy Now" button on Amazon you'd be surprised. That's my story
