The Clodagh Bun Wig Tutorial

Hi everyone, its Evan here from Camelia rellis today, I'm going to be showing you how to put in a clutter wig with the most ease and just less pulling and make your life worth the time. So what I'm gon na do with my model here is I section off her hair and what I'm gon na do with the clothes, because it's such a big, bun wig, I like to do a nice side, swept quiff instead of just doing one. That comes right in the front here, so what I do is I take the length of my thumb to the tip of my thumb and that's as big as my section, and I do that throughout the front area right in front of it you're just like a Headband, so I'm gon na pull that OH separate, that on one side I already did that on the other side. Now, what I'm gon na do is I'm actually gon na turn her this way. For me perfect now, you just want to be sure that the hair is smooth now. Remember that again, just like anything else that we do with wigs what happens underneath is going to make the outside look better, but with her in particular, because it's a bun wig. I'M not necessarily worried about what goes on up here. So what I'm gon na do is I'm just gon na comb, everything into my hands and get it nice and smooth Emma, never tilt her head down for me - and this part you just have to remember only this part has to be pretty when you're put on The weekend, so what I like to do is I like to collect all the hair make it super tight super smooth, get every bit of hair up in there and then before I even ponytail it I'm gon na use my hair spray. So this is a light netting hair spray. Just like I did before go to town this part. You want to get it a bit more wet than you were to do if you're, too, back home and give that back, because you can see now I can get that luster now I can get that really taut ponytail up top and I'm putting it. If I line it up with the tip of her ears right here, that's where the ponytail is going to go directly, I'm gon na never turn forward for me, so you can see I'm leaving a little bit of space from that part line. Just so when I put the donuts on that, they will line up perfect and with her hair. What I've done is I've sprayed it. I pre prepped it with a little bit of texture spray or you can use dry shampoo. I prefer to use a texture spray, because what is nice about it is that it actually just sticks a lot of dry shampoos. I feel like tend to get like oily, or they may have a little more conditioner in them now, and you don't really get that. Stick like you want, then I wasn't happy with how high that ponytail was. I wanted a bit higher a bit more frontal, just be sure that your sections are clean, that you're not pulling here from everywhere. Now, when you do a bun wig, you just have to be super super super sure that this is exactly in the middle, because once you do it, you can't go back perfect. So I'm sharing s'mores on the back now, what I'm going to do with my donuts! This is one of the best things to do with the donuts, because you're only going to use two. So I put my first one in and I'm going to take my bobby pins, I'm going to stick them. I still do the X formation, so this you're going to use a proper donut you're, not going to cut it, and then I stick one basically and a compass mindset, so I do in our south east west with it. I just shove the pins in where I want them to go so one on each side, pretty much now with the second one. What I'm going to do is, I stretch it up and over top of the other one. So what that does, is I get enough width in it, but then what also happens is that it Heights up that front pony just a little bit just be sure you get all that hair through and with the second one. I don't really pin it just because I have the other one secured now. What I'm going to do is I just take this bit and I trust it and I'm gon na create another donut worth they're here. Naturally - and you can see because of the texture spray - it just stays on its own, but I'm going to secure it with pins. Now I'm gon na take my comb, I'm just going to section this out a little bit more and what I actually do with this. Just because, with a button wig, it's a lot more about the shape. More than necessarily the height just be sure that that's all smooth, I'm gon na put in the wig first. So I'm gon na take the wig now with the wigs. The combs just worry about. Where the combs and the wig are you, don't necessarily have to worry about if it's front backside center or where the tag is or where the drawstring is so with this way you can see there I'll distribute it evenly, but the toggle is on. Maybe one of the sides, so I'm not even too worried about it, I'm just gon na stick it so I know it's secure, so I always like to stick it on the front first and then, with this style in particular, I just like it to be more High like, if you're looking at what's in trend right now, nobody's really doing the big wide buns everybody's kind of sticking to the really high with big width. But then they also just have a lot of headgear on and then I shift it just a little bit. Whichever shape I want it to be, so you can see, she's got a ball on her head, which I can fix later I mean as far as the dress ring, I just wrap it up and I shove it underneath the wig cap now, as far as pinning Goes a lot of this, like I said, is due to shaping, and so I just stick pins with the bun wig. I find it to be easier to be more secure with it, because we already have everything locked in with the combs anyway, but you just want to be sure like. If I ever move our head side to side. You just want to find the weak points of where they are so I could do more pin, but I'm actually happy with how much that is, go ahead and give your head a wiggle yeah, it's pretty secure. I am in a place just a couple up through the top here, just because I can see that it would move where I don't want it to perfect. Now we're gon na deal with the quiff, so what I'm gon na do for her, I'm actually gon na. Take rack your hair texture powder here. This is something that we use on cheerleaders and it's basically a more intense version of a texture spray. So what I'm going to do is I'm gon na section out the quiff by doing leaving part of the hair nice and smooth separate that with my tail comb, I always like to use a tail comb. What I'm doing wigs it just makes my life a lot easier, I'm not having to use my finger. I can get cleaner sections, I prefer the metal ones. I think the plastic ones can hold on to the hairspray and just get gross. So what I'm going to do with this, so I just take it and I just shake a little on her scalp. Then I work it in with my fingers and really when you're doing an updo thing like this, where you try and make it look very elegant. Very high, you need product. There is no such hairstyle that doesn't have product. That'S the part and myth that I think people get into all the time. So now what I'm going to do? The part that I sectioned out already so now that I've sectioned this out Here - I am just gon na back home like crazy, so I'm not worried about getting certain shape, I'm just back combing it. So I basically I'm gon na have a ball here. A ball here in a ball here and I'm just packing it. So I'm going down down down down down down now with the front piece just because her hair's longer I'm not back home as much so I want to be sure I have like a tunnel of it and just remember that the higher the hair, the closer to Heaven so you can say at my 3:00 at lovely back home pieces now I'm gon na deal with the side piece here first, just because this is where the front clip is gon na connect, because I have my hair smooth there, I'm gon na go up with It because I want that really high shape, and then I actually hold it against the wig and what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na spray it with the hair spray. The netting hair spray cause. Remember finishing hair spray is for finishing only so I get that shape that I went in there and then what I kind of do is I kind of twist up toward the face. So I get this nice and uptight here and then I just kind of place. It where I want it to go when I do bun wigs, I just want to be sure a bun wig is basically an exaggeration of the head shape. If you kind of go away from that, it can just look really fake. It doesn't look like it blends in with anything, and then I just smooth it to my desired style. Now, I'm going to work on this front piece here and this I want to go to the side. So as I do, I use the wig as an aid to help me where I wanted to get it shaped like over here. I'M just feeling like I want this part to be back home, Dal ittle bit, and then I use the wig to help me direction where I want to be now. This is a really soft style where you can see how my smooth hair is now sticking to my back combing. Give that a good spray, and what I do is because I want it to look really airy pulled it all down, because I got the hair go in the direction I want it to, and I want to think about blending it in in this corner. So I comb it that way first and what I do at the same time as I kind of like twist it so I hold it, I twist it and then I push it back a little bit and then I can kind of tuck everything and I'm just Gon na pin it so it's secure just cuz what I'm finding is, as I kind of shape it, trying to reshape it. I'M just not having very good luck with trying to get it secure. So if I just secure it first and then shape it, I think I'll have a little bit better luck. There we go now, that's moving the way I wanted to move it just takes on my hairspray lock that anywhere I want to I'm still working with the netting hairspray. What'S nice about the clutter, wig is that it's actually designed so that you can backcomb it and then now same with this side like we did with our first side comb, it up spray it a little bit and then, like I said twist toward the face, and Then pull back so you can get that nice placement now some of you're, probably thinking. Oh, that looks really messy. That'S okay! We don't have to look good until we're done, so I'm just going to shove that pin in there, where I want it to be shaved. Now, if you look at it straight on, you can see if I go from her jawline, it goes all the way up and around there's no ups and outs where it's just where it doesn't connect to the shape itself, and so now, what I'm going to do, Because you see we got this back here, alls, I'm gon na do same thing like I did with the toggle grab the wig, pull it out and shove it in because the what's nice about the clora is it's double the size of the Alaia. So what it is, it's it's a way bigger, wig cap, so you have all that room and all that extra hair to push and pull and move the curls where you want to now before I do anything else, I'm going to go ahead and put the crown In now with this crown, what I want to be sure of is that I stay behind the quiff, but in front of the wig. I don't want to squish my cliff because it's so shaped nicely and I'm just gon na put that right on and again. This is why the Claddagh is such a nice way, because you can just maneuver it and push the curls wherever you want them to be. Now I don't want to necessarily cover up the crown, but I definitely wanted to have that. It just happens to be there and then I just go ahead and secure it. However, I like, and with this week in particular, excuse me of this crown in particular, it doesn't necessarily have fasteners on it or ones that I can grab on to side, just shoves a pin right into the wire and then what I'm going to do. It actually is some of them hearts just have extra spaces and there's seven pins in the spaces. Now alls I'm going to do in the back here. You can see how I just have some extra volume that I don't necessarily want. So, as I'm going to do is take my pins and I lay them horizontally so that I can get the flatness that I want, because I can just maneuver curls in the shape that I want now. I'M really happy actually with hell, does the style that I always am constantly breaking my fingers through bun wigs, just because I want them to be big and loose and soft and turned toward me a little bit perfect and I don't have to do much back combing With it just because I'm maneuver and I mess with it, what would I do like? I don't necessarily like to see loose curls everywhere, so I'll take a little bit of hairspray through the top of it spray it about everywhere. I want to spray your cliff one. Last time, this is where you can use your finishing spray and just be sure, it's really secure for your dancer other than that. This is how you take care of the clutter wag and get into the shape that you want.
