Webbie'S its game welcome back to the game 6. If this is your first time welcome to the game, fix make sure you hit the subscribe button and stick around for a while. So today I am trying something different. I received a unit to review and I've been holding on to this unit because I really wasn't sure I wanted to try it a unit from law, African and here's the box, and it is one of their new 360 units and what that means is that there Is lace all around like the perimeter? So let me show you what the unit looks like this is their Brazilian yaki 360 unit. So here is fresh out of the box, and this is what I mean by 360. So, as you can see, there is lace. All the way around, like all the way around and there is tracking in the middle so so unit has three cones in the front two on the side, one in the middle and then it has about maybe four inches of parting space and then here's the tracks That I was referring to and then in the back. It has maybe like two two inches of parting space in the back. So like you can wear this, you can wear it as a high bun if you want to all of that good stuff. So because of something for me, the first thing that I'm going to do is just try it on without cutting the lace, because, anytime you get a unit, you want to try it on. First before cutting the leg so yeah, let's see what it look like. Okay, so here is the unit straight out of the box and with none of the legs come up cut off, as you can see, here is the parting space pieces. Yes, they have some baby hair in the front and I believe this unit is pre plucked, which means that the hairline is plucked to be a bit thinner from the edges, and then it gets thicker as it goes back. So it looks really really nice honestly, like this hairline looks really good. So, as I said, this is their Brazilian yaki texture and it does feel like Yankee. It looks a lot more silky than where I thought it would, but I think that's because I'm basing it off of a previous law African unit that I had, which was Italian yaki, which is like extra, if that makes any sense. But this one has a little bit of so get into it, but it's not not like a whole lot, so um yeah, it's since kind of I'll know, I'm gon na say it this none, but I feel like it fits snug, because I have all this extra Lace, I feel like once I take this off: it's going to be kind of loose. Okay. What I'm going to do now is cut off the lace, and I have my handy dandy, home bro right here, so you can see it exactly how I cut off the legs, all the way for the break-up and I'm going to go ahead and just a shot From the back, through it I'll put a little there, hopefully that makes it nice and snug and I'm going to try it back on so here it is right at my hairline and if it was a little bit more snug, this will probably look like it was Coming out of my scalp, but because it's not it does it quite okay. Now that has my part semi together. Here comes the tricky part, because I've never done this before. So you haven't going to see this with me for the first time. This deck should be glue situation. Okay, I have watched countless youtube videos and tutorials on this here. Dude got to be glued situation, which is supposed to make your lace frontal lay like it's coming out of your scalp. Is that going to happen here? I don't know, but I figured we would experiment together. Okay, so yeah I get my part, you know, if goodness don't care for now, and these baby hair are working my nerve right now. Oh, what is this a lottery? Why did anybody tell me this once all watery, Oh into the G, you guys this is like. Why are coming about here? So I'm just going to get funny YouTube will have you thinking you can do everything? Okay, I don't know about this show. So I heard somebody say that you guys are going to get a little tacky like mess in that mascara like eyelash glue gets tacky. I just I don't understand why it's white for with me. Why did I do it? Was this ready, oh and now it's white, so I went through all of that to get to the white part. Is it supposed to be why I can't shake this fire? Ah yeah. This is ridiculous. Don'T try this at home, like some crazy City, I didn't hold it and I guess I wasn't even wife. It blew on my edges. Well, it's really jail. It'S not glue. I should say that don't let the name fool you, because it's really jail so put a little bit more right here. Some lids lay down, lay it down. Lay it down in my hands. Are sticky broke a napkin? I cannot work under two conditions: y'all wow. This is a hotness okay, so what I'm going to do is lay the hair down. I believe wait. What is it no way down all right here goes nothing because now it really goes down. Okay, what I wonder, how many tutorials I watched, chiming cosplay practice before they actually filled, because this is real life right here and it is not just laying down like there's legs down so high some of the times with a scarf on, and maybe the scarf will Help it to stay down the kazoo, it's just not working for me, so I'm working so we're going to see what they are looking like, probably shouldn't. Let it stay a little longer, but I will bring it at this point. Oh, since this we're stuck to me right now, this is it this uh is not even stuff okay, so I don't know it's very old this unit, it's beautiful, but I am just not able to lay this lace frontals, it's just not as easy as I thought It was, and that's my bad because I probably should have practiced first, but you do get to see how this hair is. I curled it a little bit on the ends, not much. I just kind of wanted to put a little bit of curl just so that it wasn't super straight but yeah. This is the 360 Brazilian yaki. It is 180 density. So you have a lot of hair on this unit and you can get a very nice pony as this like this is a nice sized ponytail. It is definitely not on the thin side. I'M really glad that I couldn't get the frontal lay down the way that I wanted to like it was. It was an absolute struggle. I feel kind of swindled by all these YouTube tutorials out there winding, because everybody seems to lay down their frontal with ease left. 1 2 3 lay it down, and I really tried it was a situation. What for real, so yeah? If you guys have any pointers or tips for how to lay down a frontal, let your girl know in the comments below, because apparently I did something wrong. Maybe I did it, let it dry enough before I lay down the wig, I'm not really sure what I did so, please help me out and if you have any other questions, comments or concerns, you know what to do. You can leave those down below and I will put the link for this unit down in the description box along with all of the specs of it. So if you are interested in getting this, you can check out while African calm and thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video bye.
Comments
The Voodoo Child: GIRL I had a first timer wig moment on my channel too with the WIG GRIP. Check it out if youre ever bored lol. Dont ever be afraid to post your fails! haha. and the G2BG did not work on my laying my wig down either so youre not alone!!
Desiree M: Hey Gabe its refreshing to see a "not so perfect" situation. Too bad it didn't fit it looked great on you :)
Jus A: Hi Gabe... After u put a thin layer of the gel around ur hairline use a cool blow dryer 2 get it tacky (do a 2nd layer of gel if u wish & repeat).. Then u just apply the wig & push it down w/ the teeth of a comb not ur fingers... U can then apply cool air again or tie it down as you did & trust that sucker will stick 4 days
Try-A-Smile: I love your videos!!! Girl YouTube will have you feeling confident trying new stuff!! I was like Lord keep that baby edges protected from this glue/gel! The unit is beautiful!! Do not worry about the gel/glue!
Andreen A: Omg thank you for this...this is exactly what happened after I attempted this very same thing...the struggle was real. Appreciate your honesty, Gabe!
missdaaku: This wig is cuteeeeee!! And thanks for keeping it real with us... Not every try is a success. I love the authenticity. But i'm sure you'll get the hang of it over time.
Alfredasworld: I know NOTHING about lace fronts!!!! I think it looks good!!! You make a twist out look easy and I've been natural since 2010 and can't get it right at all. Wig looks good on you!!!
M. Sam’uel: Gabe it looks beautiful on you! It was your first time so maybe you can redo it again. It actually looks like your natural hair.
Kathy Jamerson: For a first timer you did great. It's a practice makes perfect kind of thing. The unit is Gorgeous!
Perez Family Adventures: lmao! I just saw myself in the future try to mess with this stuff. I like how honest your review was instead of being fake. I'm going to still try it because if girls on YouTube and instagram can do it so can I with lots of practice.
kayla song: I love that unit!!!! That one looks the most natural of all of your straight wigs! You look beautiful!
sassmaster911: Literally my same reaction when first using the gel to lay down my wig lol. I feel the struggle
Carol Mutua: seriously Gabe, you always inspire me to get my nails done. Yours are always slaying!
Shake.Love.: love the unit and this was hilarious Gabe! I use the black got2b, a blow dryer, and a scarf but I lay down baby hair of mine and the unit. it helped me to "glue" in sections until i got the hang of it.
k oa: Gabe your commentary is so funny! I love that you keep it real! And I love you with straight hair!
Grow with KiKi: Working with that gel was team too much! I was like I'll stick to the other wigs
Elegant Style And Vlogs: I loved how honest you were in this video gabe lol love it
Tonya Sephus: Gabe, you are a beautiful young lady inside and outside. I love that wig! it really looks good on you. I never wore a wig but if I had to I would. But, I always said I rather go short hair or bald. Love to you and your family. You and Babe are an inspirational to young married couples for today generation, putting God first in your lives and teaching Geej about God and the value of a loving supported family. May God continue to bless your whole family and friends.
Rekila Thomas: Hey Gabe! you have to use the blow dryer to make the glue tacky and then use the end of a rattail comb to apply pressure around your hairline.. let us know if you try it again and how it goes! Good luck! I love your videos!
Memoria James: I thought it would be a big fail, but it wasn't LOL. You still looked great! I'm sure you'll figure out the hair glue situation.
Tiondra Henderson: You did good for your first time girl! I think the step you skipped and why it wouldn't stay is bc you didn't blow dry it and let the gel get tacky before trying to lay it down. I've never done it, but in every tutorial I've seen they used a blow dryer along the way. You looked prettiful in the end anyhow!!
Marlee December Vlogs: Well I will say this...it looks absolutely beautiful on you! And as TScott stated, the hairdryer may do the trick. Also try leaving a lil more lace for laying. I think you cut the lace too close to your edges. But again, it is very beautiful on you.
Glenn Motley: Hi Gabe this really looks good on you. I love your videos.
Q Schwenk: That style looks great on you!
Janice Sanders: You did great on laying the lace front....looked beautiful on you....
Carolyn Cain: you forgot to use blow dryer to get it tacky before laying wig
LaTarsha Hall: Had the same experience. I had to squeeze the bottle to mix the product back together . I guess it had separated from sitting on the counter . Once I did that, it work very well for me .
Shauna Saucy: I still liked this unit I'm ordering me one and Ima have my beautician install mines Cus I already know if I do it it's going to be an Epic Fail I loved this look on you Gabe
Tamara Callender: Hey Gabe, The wig looks great on you. I would have had the same problem, plus I am skeptical about putting glue/gel on my hairline.
kamey85: Use the got to be glued hair spray with the gel and work in sections. Works for me every time. No waiting for the glue to get tacky
GMarie: It looks really good on you. Practice makes perfect. Lol! You did a Wal-Mart commercial, girl, you can do anything.
Lady Alex: The wig looked nice on you Gabe!!!
Diertra Thomas: I like it but thanks for your honesty. I just started wearing wigs so you taught me a lot today!
Judithe P.: I love the realness of this vid! I don't know anything about wigs, but this was fun to watch :)
Veron Jeremiah: girl you crack me up...i really like that unit think i will get one
Maxine Sewitt: It looks great on you Gabe!! The comments are filled with info so try again and you will master it!!. I wear wigs all the time but I don't do glue...too scared it will take out hair!!!!
Meeche’ G.: I order my wigs from My First Wig and it comes with a black strap that can be sewn on so the wig fits perfect. You'll just have to measure your head from ear to ear, cut the strap a little shorter than that distance, and sew. The adjustable strap is never enough. Hope everything works out this wig is Gorg
Imani M Thomas: Gabe - you're always so pretty to me, but you just look extra beautiful in this video!
Rochelle Naturally: Whether right or wrong or in between, that unit looks really nice on you.
Reba Bend: You did a great job on the unit
Amber Wright: I used Tiarra Monet"s "Installing Your Frontal Wig", for me that was the best one. You also didn't cut any baby hairs; that's what covers the line of demarcation from that extra lace that holds the glue down. That wig would have been so dope if you knew what you were doing.
Real Talk With Felicia: Would love to see a video with Tiffany from Daily Davidson helping Gabe do this wig!
LadyBugSongs: That style and the unit look great on you.
Genesis 757: That is a really nice unit and it looks so natural. Try the Got2B technique again. When I tried it the first time only one side adhered to my head. Check out the Tierra Monet video, I saw where I went wrong. I had to get it together because I cut my hair to almost bald so combs are not an option right now . I do like that wig though. Imma give her a try.
babigyrl: Girl good try!!! I use supertape strips. To me it the easiest to use and less mess on fingers. You peel one side off and lay tape down. Don't pull the other side off until you have the wig situated on your head (like you were gluing it). Pull off other side of tape and lay lace down. I like it cause you can do it in section and not worry about the hair sticking to the expose glue. Good luck.
JoLady: Hiya Gabe, it looks really nice on you. Don't think you did too bad for your 1st time. zNext time I'm sure you'll master it. Good job! For me I'd like it in a shorter version. Until next time!
Tree Green: You cut too much of the lace & didn't you your blow dryer to make the gel tacky. watch Beige Ojai's channel, she's the Lace Frontal Queen!!! Good job for your 1st time.
TheGreatest Gift: You have to apply 1 layer of gel blow dry it on cool until it's completely dry and add a second layer blow dry until it gets sticky to the touch. Apply it on your hair line
Jean Willis: The wig really did look great on you.
Cheehsa Chambers: You so funny... love you and your honesty! It looks great on you.
Napnproud 28: girl you just recreated my life as a youtube watcher lol you did better than me thou good job
Bennettvleona: when i used the got to be glued i used a blow dryer to help it get tacky. Also i bought the black bottle because it comes out clear and i heard it was better. but i love my elastic band method more than the got to be glued it just feels more secure in my opinion.
NaticaBabyyy: You have to use the freeze spray in the yellow bottle by Got 2 B Glued after applying the yellow or black got2 B glued. You have to blow dry and allow it to get tacky not dried up. Apply the freeze spray on top of the gel, blow dry for 30 seconds then rub your lace into the spray/gel with the end of your rat tale comb.
Azuhaa Coleman: All I can say is 'Poor Gabe' while watching. Keep trying hun, you'll get it.
A BeautiQueens Life: this was funny when you tried to put the glue on!!!!! I have seen ladies dry the gel after they apply it but I love the wig
DESIRE YOUNG: It's ok we all have done something like this before with wigs but you go Gabe smile
Psychbabe: I love this unit on you..its the prettiest style ive seen on you.
All Things Lydia: Literally just got back from the hairdresser to get my first 360 lace unit too :)
Erin Knight: Try Gorilla Snot (the yellow one)! I tried and got my lace front lay down on my first try... Just put it on your edges/hairline, LET IT GET TACKY! , and then lay the side down first, press and hold and let it sit. Don't touch it for at least 30sec. You don't have to put a lot just enough to be able able to actually see it. Make sure you smooth it out. Don't have clumps of gel in one spot.
Karen Alyssa: That is a really great unit. Sorry about the glue but all the tutorials I've seen they used a blow dryer on the gel before they stuck the unit to it.
Sandy C.: Hi Gabe even though there were a few problems I think the hair looks very pretty on you. It just needs a few adjustment, very nice.
Expat Lifestyle: Hey Gabe put the glue in small sections then put your hairdresser on cool to set it. Don't do the entire front all at once. You can also watch Peakmill
Natasha Davis_Hall: You did way better than I would have lol. Good job!!
Nicole Johnson: wait a mintue or 2 after applying then use a hair dryer next time helps it stick better! love the video!
Val Rice: u did a good job in spite of the Difficulty! So Funny! I enjoy watching your videos!
LaTasha Bly: Gabe. The unit is very nice. You just have to try it again after watching some more YouTube videos. Even though it didn't work out 100% for you, it still looked good. I want that unit!
KeShana: Gabe if you get that unit to work out for you, it's going to be gorgeous on you.
Katia Wilson: love your honesty!
Miss Bee Marie: it looks so good on u!!!
erica c: you look so good with that hair :)
Freda McKay: I love the wig you have on now!!! Too funny, "all that to get to the white part"
Val Ske: It looks very nice. You cut off too much of the lace and you needed a blow dryer to help hold the gel glue in place.
Danizzy SW: Wow looks gorgeous.
Lisa Flagg: It turned out beautiful
Kyna Kyna BoBeana: I was nervous looking at all that stuff going on your edges. I don't mess around with those lace fronts and glue so I was thinking, "wow she putting that glue on her edges, that can't be good." LOL
Mari Mayn: Gabe: I can't work under these conditions
1SewSweet: LOL! you just need some practice! I love the GOT2Be on my second tube! Watching you was really funny! (Sorry to laugh at your expense!). First thing I noticed is that you didn't let it get tacky enough first (some of the gel was still white). Second, you needed to start with a plan on how you wanted to place it and use a toothbrush (or whatever you use for baby hairs) to make it look more natural around your edges. You would have to part and clip some of the hair back out of your way at the hairline so you can easily do what you need to. It's just going to take you some work (it's all about trial and error!). The gel does really work. I use it most for my natural hair edges with a toothbrush and like it because it removes easily with water at night, I message some oil on my edges, tie my hair up and off to bed. It truly is a very nice product. Very pretty unit and good luck!
AccordingtoChloeC: Thats a really pretty unit!
Shani S.: I think it looks amazing on you!!
Ms.Tia: Thank so much for this video. You are delightful!!
Lisa Jackson: The wig looks very nice on you
Ru T: this was too funny cuz I don't know anything about wigs but was gonna learn from this.....I wouldn't consider it a fail. It still look good to me anyway......cutie pie!!
VlogsbyNikki: you need to put the gel down in sections not all at once. then use a blow dryer to help it dry quickly
DeLinda Williams: I was hoping you would have gotten everything handled in case I wanted to buy one,I guess I'll get my daughter who does hair to show me. I love the way it looks on you though. It's pretty.
Sherri Scott: I used the ultra got to be glued on the black tube and the freeze spray on the yellow can. I hope this helps!
TheKaren_makeup: "I can't work under these conditions " lol it looks good though..but try and look for the travel size of the black bottle got2b to see if that would work. but you did good!
IAMTERRIT: hello Gabe you actually used the wrong one its the black tube got 2b ultra glued and you suppose to use a hairdryer to lay it so it will stay.. i love the unit you look really cute.
Mai-Nebula: lol... omg... you did the exact same thing I did when I tried that same yellow got2be glue
denice works: I use Ghost Bond. Never heard of the stuff you use. The hair is pretty and looks cute on you. I say trail and error is always the best way to find out what works best for you.
sherri carr: Do not put the G2B G on your hair, but rather the skin just below the hairline. Remember, tacky first.
K Simms: I love whenever she says it's a situation shawty! Lol
readtillmidnight: I will trying to install my 1st unit soon. you did good just need to practice
A Garcia: I like the Got 2 b glue in the black tube better. Straight hair looks good on you Gabe.
AnnGeeCee: You are so brave! The hair is beautiful but I just can't, with that glue.
Sassy cat: The unit is nice. Use the black tube and you should've blow dried it first so it could get tacky. But hey, we're all learning together. Check out MsJazzy2Classy, TierraMonet or Malibudollface.
Kymeish Gaston: it's super cute. hopefully you figure out how to lay it.
Aryielle Janae: lol that's the same thing I did when I first tried the yellow got to be glue spray I tied a scarf on it instead of using a blow dryer
LaTarsha Hall: After you apply the gel allow it to sit for a few min then apply the wig. Hope that helps
Ochina Harris: Hi Gabe, It's nice to see an authentic hair situation. Every hair style is not going to work out perfectly, although it did look good on you. I could tell that you weren't very happy with it.
D.Wright Tv: install an elastic band at the ear tabs ..I find the glue works better when the wig is snug to your head.. Also try the one in the black bottle....all I do is dab some on the areas I want glued down and that's it ..I let the glue dry and the tension from the elastic band holds it down and helps it stick..i don't even blow dry
