Half Up Half Down Wig Install | Beginner Friendly | Superbwigs

Hey guys welcome back to another video today, i'm going to be doing a half up, half down install using this wig from superb wigs. This is a silky straight 360 lace, frontal wig, it's 18 inches and 150 density. It came slightly pre-plucked, but i did go in and pluck it some more to my liking and you guys know i'm a beginner at this. So i was super proud of how my plucking came out. It actually turned out really well, and it was good that it was pre-plugged because it gave me something to base my plucking off of so that was really helpful. The fact that it was pre-plugged i did have to go in and bleach the knots twice on this wig. So here we go. This is like part two of me trying to be my own hair stylist and trying to make it super professional. Looking, i already did the bald cap method off camera and now i'm putting foundation on the cap and then i'll also put the same foundation on the wig itself on the lace and i'll leave. All the products that i use down in the description box. I'Ll make sure to do that this time and leave a very detailed description. So now i'm going to make sure that that cap is flat flat, i'm using some ghost bond to smooth down the cap and melt it into my skin and for the cap in general. Just to do the ball cap method, i did use the black got to be glue gel. So now i am putting the glue on for the wig itself. This is a different glue. This isn't the ghost bond this wig glue that i'm using here, i'm going to be reviewing it in the next few weeks. I'M just trying it out now to see if i like it, and so i can give you guys an honest review of it. This is about my second time using this glue and so far so good, because i don't plan to keep this wig on long. I'M only gon na do two layers. This is the first layer i'm gon na. Let it dry completely clear and then i'm gon na go ahead and do a second layer. So hopefully you guys are watching this video all the way through and not skipping, because i forgot to mention at the beginning, when i was trying to lace on you guys saw that i was putting white marks on my forehead. Don'T do that you're. Just gon na have to eye the glue to see like where you should put it, because that was the reason why i did that. So i could see where to stop the glue at on my forehead, but i had such a hard time getting the white marks off after i put the glue on so it just made it really hard to make this a seamless install. So don't do that. Just try to eye it. That'S what i'm going to try to do next time, just eye it instead of doing the marks, because it was so tough to get off. So you guys just saw me: do the second layer, it dried completely clear, and now i'm laying that first section of the lace and as you can see, i cut the lace into three parts that made this super super easy to. Do don't try to put it all on at once? It'S not going to work. I tried it and i failed miserably before so just cut it in sections. If you can and do it this way, another tip with the glue is to get these popsicle sticks. Doesn'T matter what size just get some popsicle sticks, something that you can throw away at the end, because lace glue is so strong, it's so hard to get off of plastic, because i've used the back of tweezers before i've used um like the little eyebrow razor thing Before, like the end of it to do to apply the glue, but it's so hard to get off, it's so tough. You want something: that's disposable, that you can just throw away after you're done. Putting the glue on so definitely get popsicle sticks and another tip is to make sure that glue is flat. That'S the whole purpose of using a tool like that, as you can see right here, as you can see, i'm spreading it super thin. I'M making sure it's not lumpy or anything and another thing after you start spreading it. You want to make sure that you do it right and don't really mess up here because say, for example, like right here. If i started to try to go over it, it would just create lumps on the glue, because it dries really fast, and it's just so strong, so you're going to want to make sure that you spread it really thin. The first time that you do it. I did bring out the blow dryer to make the process a little bit faster and i put it on warm. It wasn't all hot, it was not cool, i put it on warm and then i'm going in with my second layer. So now the second layer is completely dry, i'm taking the last piece and i'm going to place it down and comb it through to make sure that it gets really melted. Now, i'm taking this elastic band and i'm just going to tie it around. I left it on here for about a good 10 minutes, while i did something else, you're going to want to make sure you leave it on for a minute or so so it can adhere really well. So i did cut out the part where i had to get the white dots off. I did my best, but it ended up messing up the lace. I used alcohol to try to get the white dots off of the lace and, as you can see, there's like a sort of cast like a bright cast where, like i had to try to fix it, so the lace isn't looking the best, there's some spaces where You can see the lace and you can see like the bald cap coming up from underneath the lace, but it is so much better than the first time like guys go watch my first video, the one worse, i'm not going to stylist anymore. Go watch that video and compare this wig to that one. I think i'm improving like really quickly, so i'm super happy about that. It'S not perfect, but it's an improvement. Okay. So now i'm doing my baby hairs. I only show one side because the other side was like a bit of a disaster, i'm using the green eco styler gel to do my baby hair. So now i'm pulling it up into the ponytail. I did go back in like after i curled it to fix it because it was a little lumpy in the front. I like that, so i did go and fix it, and here you can sort of see like what i'm talking about with the lace in the front. If you look right by you know the section i have left out, you can see that it's a little funky right there, but you guys know i'm just practicing playing around and fortunately i didn't have nowhere to go. I'M going in and doing some medium sized wand. Curls i'm using, i can't think of the name of this curling iron or the size of the barrel, so i'll leave that down in the description box, for you guys, so that is pretty much it for this install. It turned out really really cute, especially for me that had done it myself like. I think i did a good job. It took forever. It took a really long time to complete the entire look, and then i did my makeup after this, so it took forever, but it was worth it in the end. It turned out really cute the wig. I really enjoy working with it only downfall. I have to say about: is i had to bleach the knots twice, but that's pretty much all wigs if you want to make sure that the front is looking really good, i think i'm getting better at these installs. What do you guys think? Let me know down in the comment section how you think i did this time with this install i'm looking forward to see what you guys have to say, so that is it for this video make sure you check out superb wigs.
