Easy Claw Clip Half Up Half Down Wig Install Ft. Megalook Hair

So in today's video I'm going to be installing this wig from Mega Look hair. This is a 13x4 HD Crystal lace, body wave wig, and it is 180 density and 30 inches long. I have always wanted to try out this like claw clip hairstyle on a wig. I just love the way it looks, so I think I did pretty damn good if I say so myself. So if you guys want to see how I achieved this hairstyle then definitely stay tuned and all of the links to this hair will be down in the description box below so here I have the wig and it comes with a elastic band on the inside already, Which I love, because I love a good snug, fitting wig and I did go and bleach the knots before installing this. I didn't do any coloring or anything to the hair, but I felt like this style would look the best if I bleached the knots first and I'm so glad that I did because it was definitely giving so here I'm just getting the wig on exactly the way. I wanted to in the area that I want it to be and I'm going to shift it. So it can be nice and even on both sides, and then I'm going to do the typical first step and I'm going to cut off the extra lace around the ear tabs so that the wig lies nice and flat. And you want it to be a nice flat install, so you want to get rid of that bulkiness around your ear and, as you can see, I just chopped off a little bit and it just fits perfectly around my ear. So I'm doing the same thing on the other side and I actually didn't have to cut off too much on this one, which I really appreciate it, because sometimes I will actually be cutting the wig when I do this on other wigs. So I can appreciate appreciate that here I'm going to cut out little slits into three sections, because this is the easiest way for me to install it and I'm going to take that even lace spray in the black. You already know, and I'm going to spray it on one side, get it all nice and warmed up and tacky, and then I'm going to do another layer of this on this side. And then I'm going to press the hair into the lace which you guys have seen a million times, so I'm just going to let this play and I'm going to be back in a second. Thank you. So now that I have finished pressing that in I went ahead and put on my elastic band - and I put it literally on my edges so that I'm able to style the hair while it's sitting. So I put the elastic band directly over my edges and pulled it down a little bit, so I'm able to go in and do my middle part. So you guys know the style has the middle part in the center. So I'm just getting it as flat as possible and I'm going to be making sure that it is laying okay taking this rattle comb and I'm going to section out the front. Half that's going to be here for the little swoops in the front and I'm just going to braid this to get it out of the way, and so it's not you know in my way, while I'm doing the rest of the hair, because obviously after this I Have to go in and do the ponytail so, as you can see, I'm going to do the same thing on the other side and I'm parting it on the actual frontal so that it looks like scalp versus parting, the hair from where the track is showing you Don'T want the track to show so I just parted it on the frontal, so it kind of looks like scalp back there a little bit. So basically, I'm going to take the top half of the hair in the back and I'm going to put it in a ponytail. So I just split the rest of the hair. That'S left in the back in half and now I'm just putting this ponytail in and I'm making sure that the ponytail is at the back of my head. So it's not sitting on top of my head because you want to be able to do a little fan. Look so here, I'm just adding in some of that mousse that I'm using on my edges later, which you guys notice that Erica J mousse everything and that's just going to help it lay a little bit flatter. There was a little bit of Flyway. So I wanted to get rid of those, but I'm just putting this in a nice tight ponytail and as you can see, the ponytail is literally at the back of my head and I'm just going to tape the hair and twist it into a bun. So I'm going to continue to twist this until I get it at my liking is basically you want to do it up until you have the length of the hair that you want at the top. So I'm taking these two little clips that I had in the front and I'm going to clip down that excess hair towards the front and then flip it back. So, instead of using a claw clip because I did the bun it's kind of difficult to use a claw clip because the bun is so bulky and the claw clip would just be like squeezing onto the freaking bun. So I used these little clips that I had in the front instead and it worked out way better. So, as you can see here, I took off the elastic band and it was melted. Okay around my ears. It wasn't necessarily the best, but obviously you can camouflage that with some edges on the side and call it a day and then just you can honestly go on with like an eyeliner pencil or something like eye shadow to cover that up. But here I'm just taking the pieces of the front where I want to do the edges and I'm going to hot comb them forward so that they're laying in the right direction and that they lay nice and flat. So I'm doing that on this side and I'm obviously going to do it on the other side as well, and then we're going to move on to actually styling the edges. So here I'm just cutting them and I'm kind of trying to do it like a little Jagged. I usually would use a razor like eyebrow razor, but those things I have the worst look with them. I always cut my face or lick my hand or something so I'm just using these little uh eyebrow scissors and they work perfectly fine and I'm cutting them longer. First and I'm going to see if I need to cut off any more later, but I'm going to take my flat iron and I'm going to curl them backwards. You guys know the drill, curl them back and then you're going to go in and swoop them, and I'm going to be using that mousse that I used earlier to lay the ponytail flyways and it works literally like a charm. This mousse is basically like equivalent to a hairspray or glue because it has like a tacky finish and once it dries, it dries like Hairspray. If that makes sense versus like mousse, I don't know you guys should definitely try it. I'Ve used this to lay my wigs before and it actually stayed for a decent amount of time, not like 24 hours or anything crazy. But I was able to have the wig on all day by just using the mousse and no hairspray. So I would definitely recommend trying this out, but I'm fixing these up. This side always gives me trouble because it's just more difficult to do this side and then I'm going to go back in with that mousse. Like I said earlier, it is like Hairspray, so I'm putting it on the edges again, so that it will lay super flat and it'll be nice and in place once I take this elastic band off so now, I'm obviously moving on to the swoops in the front And this part is really easy. It'S just making sure that the hair is out of the way, so you can actually put the hair tie on in the back without it getting caught up in all the other hair. But here I'm literally just putting my head down and I flip the hair forward so that it will be easier for me to do it. And then I'm going to go back in because I ended up cutting the ponytail a little bit, because the ends of the hair were just a little bit too scraggly and I wanted it to be. Like a blunt full look, so I just trimmed the ends and then I did it all over again. So I did the same thing. I wrapped the bun and then I put those clips back in place and then I'm going to Fan it out, and this time I was struggling a little bit. I ain't gon na lie. I was struggling because these clips weren't staying they kept popping out. So here I'm just adjusting it and seeing how I like it and as you can see, the ends are a little bit more blunt than they were before, which I prefer it makes it look a lot Fuller and then I'm just gon na do like a light. Like a little light bump a little light press so that the hair can be you know not so much texture, because I am going to go in and straighten the bottom half you could definitely leave the texture. I definitely want to try this hairstyle with curly hair. I'Ve seen it so many times on YouTube and it is so cute with curly hair. So I'm definitely going to do that one day, but with the straight hair. I want to just keep it straight. So that's why I'm going in and straightening this and then I'm going to go in the bottom half and straighten that out as well. So because I just don't have time to be all particular in sectioning out the hair, I'm literally just taking the huge chunk of hair and going through it with a comb or a brush and the flat iron, and that's the quickest way, I'm able to flat iron. This hair, because I just could not be bothered doing it section by section and it looked perfectly fine regardless, so I'm gon na do that on the other side, and I also went in just to make sure some of the areas that were a little a little Bit more texture still, I went in and fixed that as well, but then, as you guys will see in a second, I had to go in and trim the ends because I love a good blunt end. I feel like it looks way better. It looks healthier, it just makes the wig look 10 times better, so I'm going to cut off about two inches at the bottom and, as you can see, it's gon na look way way way, Fuller and just healthier, and I just love the way it looks so Much better so here I'm going to do it on the other side and then I'm going to take my flat iron and bump the ends and that's how you make it look super healthy. Like super full, it looks really really good, so you're going to go in and just bump it and, as you can see, the hair looks like 10 times thicker already. So this is the end of the tutorial and I'm just going to show you guys some clips of the final product. So this is what the final product is.
