Already Highlights Added?! // African Mall Lace Front Wig Install

Hello, my love's welcome back to the channel a so I'm bringing to you. This looks so like different from what I would normally do. Y'All I'm getting beyonce vibes from this hair for sure. Okay, I was shook because this really came out the pec. Looking like this. I said they really like highlighted and low-light it is here like I wish they was playing no game, so this is the color we got going. The wig is from African mall. If you are looking to buy this week, the link will be in the description below. Let'S get into this install okay, so I'm just showing you that there's some cones and everything inside of the wig everything like that now I will say that I didn't know what the side was on the sides of his wig like it was like this. Like tape part on there that I was very confused about also, I did end up bleaching and knots on this hair, I'm just using my CW to powder and my. I think this was the 40-mile developer and this is the results after I bleached it, and I did pluck it some just to get rid of some of that density right at the hairline and I'm just taking my hot comb and my pressing comb and I'm just Pressing it out y'all like we trying to get this as flat as possible. Basically um. This install honestly was like one of my favorites. I'M not gon na lie, so I was very impressed with it period and it's getting flat like the pressing comb has to happen. I haven't been doing it like. I hadn't started doing this until recently, and I was like uh sis you need to get on it, because what the heck it was flat, honey, okay, look at a period and I did just flat iron it I didn't want to put any curls or anything like That in it I just kept it nice and flat, and straight - and at this part I put it on and the lace, I would say it's definitely transparent, which is cool and everything. But I did just put a little bit of makeup in it just so that I can match even more to my skintone. I just put some of my NARS foundation in it and I feel like I could have chose actually darker foundation. So you'll see when I put it on, but it matches pretty good, so I wasn't too mad about it confirming and, as you can see like look about forehead literally getting tan, because I've been outside a lot recently and I've been wearing my wigs. Obviously so maybe whole forehead is a little different color like, but it's cool though hopefully I'll be able to go to my stylist soon and get my hair done as soon as this quarantine thing is going. It'S done, you feel me, but yeah um, the wigs be coming through baby, so I'm and just cutting my ear tabs off. As you can see, I put the makeup in it matches a lot better to my skin tone. It'S a lot less like grey, like this transparent lace. So I'm just cutting my ear tufts, making sure everything is snug around y'all know the routine. We get it together, though, we're trying new methods we're trying to really get this together, and I have been using lace glue recently, and I just realized that I don't need to put the lace of glue like in my hairline, also I'm making sure to use alcohol Before every install just to make sure the area is clean, there's no buildup! I don't keep my wigs on for about more than a week, usually unless I just really like that wig and I just keep on touching it up or something. But after a week, I'd be like all right, that's enough! You know like I want to let my Scout breathe. You know wash my hair, that type of thing so yeah I pretty much just been applying lace glue and it's been okay like at first. I thought my edges was coming out. Like a few years ago, I was like yeah, I'm for sure, take my edges out wearing these wigs for four months four weeks or something like no sis, you know, but I haven't here that long. But yes, I'm learning, you know we got to keep our natural hair up to underneath the wigs loves, so we got to get it together. Um. I did only use like one or not up like two layers of the lace glue and then I just as soon as it got nice and tacky and clear. I'M just rubbing my lace in using a rat tail comb, just making sure it's nice and laid flat down um and I have been liking this method actually, instead of cutting the lace first, I've been liking just cutting around the hairline. How I want perfectly and then any parts that I missed or didn't get any glue on it, I'm just going back in those sections adding a little bit of glue and just placing the lace right on top of it. It'S looking really really good. I did do that method. I was just talking about just with um, taking a lace off just section by section and then making sure that those little pieces that didn't have cooling it was nice and pressed down onto the skin. So I'm just cutting my edges leaking them up. Okay, until my lace is so undetectable that I don't need to do edges we're gon na. Do the edges? Okay, since it is what it is, I'm not mad at it, though, because I do love edges, so you been mean we had to flee, come up, I'm just using, then you got to be glue. Mousse I've been testing it. I was seeing how I like it, and it's honestly I like it for edges, but I wouldn't apply this like for own curly hair. It gets crunchy. So that's like my little two cents about it like it does get crunchy for curly hair. So I would apply it like if you want to lay your wig down like a straight hair down, I would apply some on it cuz I did for this like when I make my part to make my part look super straight and flat. I did apply a little bit of it and obviously you can see like for the baby hairs. It looks really good and it's not really watery it like foams up to like a hard mousse, which I was not used to and I'm still learning. How do you say yeah I've just been using this as edge control kind of thing going, and it gets really crunchy, though, which is cool, because I like how it gets hard and then you wrap your hair and then wan na take my wrap off. You can see how just flat and late the edges are. Then I just take a comb and I pretty much just comb the edges back up to make it look a little bit more realistic. You know cuz, like I, don't want them to look super like flat on my face because makeup it's gon na get all over it and stuff like that, so I do like to like spruce them up just a little bit with my comb and you'll. See me. Do that right now, after I'm done doing my part, oh and for my part, I did pluck it a little bit because, like this frontal was very dense, like the frontal wig was very dense, so I did like just pluck it a little bit and add it. Some makeup in there just to make sure the part is SuperDuper straight perfect, cuz, your normal perfectionist we get it together seems like these installs just have to happen. Okay, they have to happen. We'Ve just been learning and I feel like with every install. I learn something new and I get better and better so we're gon na keep trying it out. Okay and here's just where I'm going to take my rat tail comb and I'm just gon na get these edges like off my head, some and just basically reincorporate them throughout just combing them, making sure that the shape that I want is still there. But I don't want it to be super flat on my face basically, and then I'm just gon na show you all these in results period pool ok. These edges, though cuz this is literally so much life, giving me all of it. Okay, I'm loving this color, I'm loving this install. I hope you all enjoyed the video so much make sure you look out on my Instagram for this makeup. Look that I did and I'll see y'all in my next video bye,
