No More Frontals?! How I Install My Closure Wig (Easy) | Amazon Beauty Forever Hair | Joanna Divine

Hi guys welcome back to my channel, as you guys can see. I do not have my wig on today girl um, because i am going to be giving you guys a full on hair tutorial. Let me show you guys what i have shout out to beauty forever. Hair for sponsoring my video today they sent me a wig and i'm about to unbox it and show you guys what i have. So it came in your little beauty forever box. You got that got that open it up alrighty. So we got this wig here. She is a closure, pretty sure this is probably like four by four. You can see there, so this wig is kind of different. It'S not full lace throughout. It kind of has this like fake scalp thing going on um, which is interesting. I'Ve never had a wig um like that before, so i'm interested to see what that's gon na give um but yeah. The lace is literally just right here. So it's just this portion that has lace and then the rest is the fake scalp and then the wig cap, your generic wig cap. Let me flip it inside out, so it has your combs one in the back one on the side, another one on the side, and then you know it's just something like a regular. You know, wig, the highlights are really pretty um. I'Ve never had a wig. This color before so i'm excited, i have a highlighted wig but they're very different. So all i'm going to do is i'm going to just like bleach the little tiny knots that you see in the front. It'S a closure, so you're not going to really be seeing much, but you know i'm just a little extra, so i just want to make sure that it's like you, know, perfect perfect. I'M going to just bleach that and i'm going to just insert the clip of me doing that and i'm going to just explain to you guys exactly what i'm doing so, i'm quickly going to show you guys what i'm using i'm using my bw2 from clearwall bleach And i have my shimmer light shampoo and i'm using 20 and a 40 developer. So i'm taking my bleach and i'm putting it into my mixing bowl, i'm taking just only one cup because we're not even doing a big section, and i realized that i even used too much so now. I'M mixing in both the developers i used about a cap. Each and i just mixed it until i got like a smooth consistency and then i'm going to lay it very carefully on my lace. So i left the bleach on for probably like 10-15 minutes, and then i saw that it was ready to be rinsed out because the knots had faded away. So i'm just rinsing out under some water, and then i took my shimmer light shampoo to just remove a little bit of the brassiness. I know this is probably like an unnecessary step, but i'm just like trying to be a perfectionist, so i just had to like. Take this extra step, i've bleached my knots well, the little knots that there is, i bleached those knots and now i'm going to straighten it. I think i'm going to do straight um. What are you thinking? What am i thinking? What do you think it says straight? Yeah she's thinking straight even the box, is they they've got the um the wig cap in here. So it's super light um. So i'm gon na put some foundation just around the part. That'S gon na show with the you know, with the wig part. It'S not a big part, so you don't have to really um go in too much. If you have this particular way, so this brush is literally the brush that i used to do my makeup earlier. So i'm going to just go in on the top and just press in whatever is left on my brush regardless is going to be fine because the parts don't even go all the way that far so it should be fine. Just put it on oh she's gon na need some work. She'S gon na need some work. The lace is pretty it's pretty close to my skin tone like it actually almost like completely disappears to my skin tone, which is good. I think i'm gon na fall in love with it. I also think i'm gon na cut it a little bit. I'M gon na show you what i'm gon na use to style this right now, my handy dandy, flat iron - and this is my gvp flat iron. I'Ve had this for decades, and then i have my hot comb um. This one is from andis. I bought it from amazon. I'M gon na link everything below in case you guys, you know, want to get those products. These are like my favorite. Hot tools also have some mousse. This is from cream of nature. The argan oil mousse and i am using my boldhold liquid gold all right enough of me talking, let's get into me, fixing this thing on my head because i know you're tired of seeing it because i'm tired of seeing it so let's go. I'M gon na cut. My wig, i have my scissors and my comb and i'm probably gon na cut it so probably like right there, just because it's like an awkward length for me. Listen, i forgot to say this in the beginning, but i'm not a profession. Now: okay, i'm not a professional! I just do this. I just know how to do it so do not base your judgments off of what's gon na happen today, okay, it may turn out good um. It may turn out crazy, but it's not professional. So keep that in mind. Okay, because it's not it's not a thick wig, so i'm gon na just take one nice chunk. Actually, i'm gon na work in smaller sections, because if red mondo ever saw what i was doing to this wig - oh god, listen, not a professional! Okay! Just do what works for me um, just a couple i'll just do a straight cut right down there, because i want it to be like a blunt type of situation. As you can see, it didn't really take off much, but you know it took off a little bit. I cut the wig down a little bit, um it's a little choppy, but once we straighten it and do all that good stuff it should get together. Okay got my flat iron burning up over there. I work from the front back. I don't know if that's weird, but that's just how i work with it. So i'm gon na straighten this side on camera and then i'm gon na um just do the other side off camera. So when i'm straightening it i'm kind of like bumping the bottom just a little bit, because since i cut it into like a lob, i kind of want to bump the bottom a little bit give it like. You know kind of like that old school bump. Okay, so i've kind of finished this side got it straightened out and, like you see, i added like the bump at the bottom. It'S a little uneven right here. I'M gon na fix that it's looking cute already. Let me if i just like smooth it out. Looking cute and this side is still looking crazy, so yeah i'm going to finish this side off camera and then i'm going to come back with my hot comb and finish it up. I flat ironed the side and bumped it a little bit and i hot coal on the top. I don't know if you can tell like the difference a little bit in the top, so i hot comb this side, you can still see the side still has like that lump over here comb. It just run it through just like that, careful not to get your fingers sometimes i'll, do it. This way, too, i'm gon na take some of my mousse pump that, on the top just get rid of those flyaways, those extra flyaways that are up there just smooth it down. This is gon na also help the wig like lay smoother too back in with the hot comb just to seal it. It'S been a long time since i've worn a closure, i'm always always wearing a frontal. Now, like i can't remember the last time, i've actually worn a closure wig, but this one is actually really well sewn, like you can see on the sides over here, it's fully covered with hair. So you know if that wind blows back, you see the hair. You know you, don't you don't just see your edges, you see, you see the hair, it's like really nicely dense at the sides which i really like. Oh, this lace is like just blending right into my skin tone. Boop. It definitely needs some plucking, though it doesn't. Even really need crazy, plucking though, but you can see. The part is like non-existent, so we're gon na have to make our own parting. Now, i'm gon na pluck a little bit and i'm going to just zoom you guys in so you can see. You know exactly what i'm doing i'll just do some pulling, so i'm just doing i'm holding it, i'm just doing like small pulling motions, plucking some hair out. So now i'm going to pluck um the hairline part a little bit. So i'm just pull out a little bit. First in the front, that's going to be like you know the baby, hairs or edges eating that until i get it to like my desired place, but i think it looks pretty good, i'm pretty happy with it. I'M using my bold hold liquid gold, i'm gon na just take a little bit of that on the back of my hand. First, it's literally just like a dot like nothing, just pull it back a bit i'll, just put a little bit right where i'm gon na put my closure down super simple. It just takes a couple seconds to dry because i put a really thin layer as it's drawing intermission to show you guys my nails. You know i got to give you guys some nail cam. So these are my nails that i've done recently and you'd be surprised, but these are actually poly gel. Let me know if you guys would want a hair to i mean i said a hair tutorial if a nail tutorial would be something that you guys are interested in, because these are cute. So i think my glue is dry, so i'm going to just pull this over put it right where i placed my glue. So i finished hot combing and i finished my plucking, so i kind of did a couple of my edges off camera but um all. I really do, is i just take a little bit. I just hit it with a swoop. That'S it and i used my um my foam, my styling foam to do a little bit of edges. Let me zoom you guys in so you can see what the lace is. Looking like, this looks really good, like it's it's blending in with my skin, it's not looking ashy or nothing, so i'm gon na just put some foundation and fix up my parting. I got my part looking better now, if we're looking at what it was looking like before, as opposed to now we're making some progress, it looks much better okay, zoomed out a little bit so, like i said before, i'm going to just run my flat iron back Through it's hot i'll, just finish it off with a little bit of mousse on the sides, get them flywheels down pack, okay, so my hair is finished. This is the finished. Look guys and let me tell you i am in love with this. It'S so cute. I'M actually proud of myself for pulling this off, because i didn't think i was gon na make it honestly from what it looked like in the beginning, so it would look like now. I don't think i was gon na make it. I really love it. Let me give you guys a little close-up. Okay, the color is really pretty um as well. It'S full all the way down, which is really great honestly guys again, like i said, i'm not a professional. I just do what works for me and clearly it works um.
