*Very Detailed* Bleaching, Plucking, Install, And Styling Side Swoop Highlight Wig Ft Hermosa Hair

Foreign welcome welcome back to my channel and happy holidays. It'S your girl, Caroline and back again with another start to finish detailed as ever hair tutorial, because for us to get to this, this beautiful look, we got ta start right here because in reality this is exactly how all the wigs come out the box and you Need to do some customization, which can be a little bit overwhelming, but don't worry that's what I'm here for I'm going to show you guys everything I did to go from this to this lovely side swoop that we got going on so with that said, let's get Right into today's tutorial, starting right out of the box, this wig is from Hermosa hair company. They sent me their pre-died 13 by 4. Chocolate highlighted wig, they sent me 24 inches 220 density and all the links and specs for this wig. If you're interested will be down below, but let's get right into what we have to do to customize this wig to make it look like a scalp. So once I put the wig upon my mannequin head to get an inspection of the hairline right out of the box, the first thing that was yelling at me was the knots the knots needed to be taken care of ASAP. If you're a beginner you're wondering what are knots exactly, you see a little like black dots at the base, the root of the wig. Those are actual knots that are tied from the hair being tied strand by strand into your wig and to make the wig look a lot more natural and scalp-like we're going to be using some bleach to help just lift the color from this dark black color to Bleach it to be more of a blonde color, so it can like look like it's coming more out of your scalp versus looking like not that I've been tied onto a wig and another thing upon expection. The hairline is very, very dense. One thing I've learned about Hermosa hair company. They give you dents, like they're, high density, wigs, it's mainly high density. In the frontal, like this frontal, she was thick so we're gon na have to be bleaching our knots and also giving a good plucking to make it look as natural as possible. So, let's start with step one which is bleaching the knots to bleach my knots. I like using this blonde brilliant, Express bleaching powder. This is more of a bougier bleaching powder, I would say, but I just started investing in my products, because I've been doing wigs for so long, so I feel like invest in yourself type of thing, but if you're a beginner, you can definitely get away with using Your standard, BW powder, you get the beauty supply, store it's much cheaper, it works just as fine, but I do like using the blonde Brilliance one because I feel like it's more gentler. It has conditioning properties and I just like the way the solution is. It kind of helps me not over bleach because it doesn't get runny easier and to mix this bleach, I'm going to be using a 20 volume developer. That'S because this brand specifically tells you to use nothing more than 25 volume above your beginner and using something different. Do you watch out my other videos, my older start to finish videos where I go in depth on how to use regular bleaching powders? I was bleaching two wigs at the same time, so I'm using a lot more product than I would use normally, but here I'm just going in and pouring in the bleach, the key when it comes to your bleaching powder versus developer ratio. You want to pour the developer in slowly, because the consistency of your solution is really what's going to help. You not make a mistake, so I like to make sure it's not too runny, because if it gets too runny, it's going to start dripping into the actual hairline. You want the bleach to just sit on top of the knots and not start dripping into the hair itself. So I was just like pour a little bit, do a little mixy mix and I just keep adding until it gets to like a nice incredible, like frosting type of consistency where it's nice and spreadable, but also it's not drippy like when you pick up your mixing Brush you shouldn't have anything dripping down, that's how you know you've made it way too runny. I feel like it's very easy for it to get runny fast and hard for you to get it thicker. Even you add more products, so I always just like you know. Take my time, little drop here, spin spin put a little bit more spin spin and just keep going until it's literally like nice and spreadable, it's not cakey and chalky and at the same time it's not dripping, which is why I like this blonde brilliant bleaching powder. The best because I feel like it doesn't get runny as easier as the other products I've used in the past and my last tip. Whatever you use to mix and apply your bleach make sure it's not metal metal is going to oxidize and ruin the whole entire chemical reaction. We got going here so plastic glass, anything just nothing that is metal, no metal, spoons metal, knives. That'S going to affect your end results drastically now that my bleach is nice and smooth and creamy and ready to be applied, I'm going to go ahead and just spray, some hairspray onto the front of the hairline and push all of the hairs in the front, because I have these little baby hairs that were in the front, so I'm going to just make sure I push everything back, because I don't want to make any mistakes and get bleach onto the actual hair. I can use water hairspray, it doesn't matter just something to slick back the hair to apply my bleach, I like to use a wooden popsicle stick. This is a popsicle stick that comes with my wax, but you can get this from like a craft store. I like to use the really big ones I just prefer to use. Popsicle sticks because I feel, like it kind of helps me feel, like I'm applying butter to toast in this way, but use whatever you want to use. I just feel like I can control the pressure, because the amount of pressure you use also is another key thing to keep in mind when you're trying to get a perfect bleach of the knots, I usually start from the back and work my way up when it Comes to these knots because I feel like the knots in the back are much bigger than the knots in the front, so they need a long, a longer processing, time kind of like the whole concept when you're relaxing your hair, you always start from the back, because The bark, the back of your hair, needs more time to process same thing, so the trick to really getting a useful bleach when I say useful, because I used to always bleach my knots, and I would never really like make a big difference is because I realized I wasn't applying enough pressure, it's really a balancing active between getting enough pressure to push that bleach to cover the knots, but at the same time, not too much pressure where you're now pushing it where it's bleaching, the hair. You know so like it's really just like a balancing act, which is why it's important for your solution to not be runny, so you can have enough room to push it and scrape it in for it to cover up those knots like what I'm saying covering. I mean I'll show you guys towards the end. I always make sure I flip my wig over to see if I can literally see the bleach sitting over the knots like you should not see. Those knots like the bleach should cover it. I don't know if that makes sense, but hopefully, when I show y'all guys show you it's gon na make sense. So this is how the wig looked like when I first applied the bleach - and I don't know if you can tell, but you see how you can still see those dots, those little knots peeking through and I put bleach on it incorrect. This is how you waste your time, bleaching your knots, so what I had to do is go back, and now I'm gon na put more pressure with my scraper and start really scraping that bleach through, because I see that I didn't put enough pressure because you want It to literally you don't want to see any of those knots like it should all just be sitting at the root of the hair, the bleach, but at the same time no little dots is poking through. So that way, it's properly going to you know turn it. The color that we need it to be because it was just sitting at the bottom you're, not bleaching, the knots you just bleach in the lace. So here's me just going back in this time. I know I need to apply a lot more pressure, because the knots on this wig were bigger than I really that I'm used to not that big, but they were bigger than normal. So I'm going in with the actual mixing brush itself because the mixing brush - I don't use it to apply bleach because it's hard to control the pressure, because sometimes it applies too much bleach too fast. But since I needed more bleach, I'm using this but, like I said it's a balancing Balancing Act between putting enough pressure and not too much so do be careful and mindful that you don't push it too far. While you start noticing, like you know, the bleach is getting into the hair. But if that happens just take a moment pause get like a spray bottle with water spray. That section that has a bleach on it and try your best to just wipe it off. But if you do end up over bleaching your knots, that's fine. You can fix that during post-production. I do have a video showing where I fix mistakes that I've made while customizing my wigs. It'S not the end of the world, but you just want to try your best to you know not make these mistakes. Okay and here's how the hairline looks now. That'S applied more pressure, so you can see them. Knots is covered. I did miss a few knots here and there, but that's okay. It doesn't have to be perfect, but you just want to try to cover up as much knots as you can for it to actually be worth your time bleaching. Your knots now that I have that done, I'm going in with some foil paper and I'm just going to apply that under the lace and sometimes I'll put foil over the purpose of foil just to like act as a catalyst, because, basically it's going to help. You know contain the Heat and to make the reaction just go a lot faster. As far as timing goes, I never give you all the exact time on how long to leave your bleach, because every hair is different, some hair, it will bleach super fast, like give it 15 minutes, and it's done some. I can leave it on for an hour or I might have to do two rounds, so I always say just leave yourself like a 10 minute to 15 minute timer and keep checking on your knots every 10 to 15 minutes. Once you start seeing the hair go from a black color to more of a blonde shade, like you're, literally bleaching, your hair, that is when you know it is timed. The type of developer you're using the type of hair type of bleach. A lot of things can affect how long you need to let the bleach sit on there, but I say nothing over an hour once it's been an hour and the color is not lifting. There might be a problem with the hair. It'S probably not even human hair and it can't be bleached or you need to do two rounds, but an hour be careful because you might start having shedding. Because bleaching is a chemical process. It is processing to the hair and it does kind of cause your hair to shed over time. So I try my best to not do too much, not bleaching I'll just try to use makeup or some other methods. If I don't get a perfect bleach, here's how the knots were looking it's about like they leave almost an hour. These knots that take a minute to believe it's not gon na lie, but you can see it's now like very blonde at the roots. It'S no longer dark, it is a blonde color. I usually go for like a almost yellowish tone. I don't like when the knots are still orange, because if your knots are still getting like a penny, copper color - it's probably not ready. Personally, I wanted it more blonder than this, but since it's been an hour I was like, I don't want to damage my knots when it comes to washing the bleach out, make sure you are thoroughly washing it out, like not just out of the lace, but also Like out of the hair itself, so I always like to use a neutralizing shampoo, so a neutralizing shampoo. Basically it turns clearly the foam was going to turn white once you've washed out every, like you know, every chemical whatever. This is something if you ever like got your hair relaxed. They have neutralizing shampoos and they turn pink when they're still like relaxing your hair same concept. So I just like to make sure I'm washing throughout the hair, because I realized sometimes my hair will start to shed and that's because I wasn't washing the bleach all the way out and I'm just sit in there over time, causing the hair to become more weakened And damaged so do make sure you are washing that wig out thoroughly. Now, once I have finished washing out the hair, the foam has turned white, knowing that there's no more bleach in it, I'm going to be toning, the knots on the wig most of the time whenever you are going from a black dark color to a more blonde Color there's going to be some like orange brassy tones. So after bleaching, your knots, you might notice the lace is looking very orangey. The knots are looking very much orange. Giving Donald Trump all is well. Don'T panic! You just want to use either some purple or blue shampoo purple shampoo, great for the yellow tones you might get and then orange shampoo is great for the blue. No, I'm sorry other way, and then blue shampoo is great for canceling out the orange tones that you might get most of the times I use both, but since this wig it didn't lift all the way to the color I wanted like. I was telling you I like to go for more of a orange yellowish color. It was more orange than yellow, so I'm only using the blue shampoo in this instance - and I like to like, as you just saw just slather a good amount on it. It'S a very pigmented shampoo and I want to make sure I'm getting the whole bottom covered up with that blue color. So I can really you know, tone those knots I let this sit for probably five to ten minutes, but for sure I don't want to sit for too long, because sometimes especially the blue shampoo can you know tint your lace a little bit, but I always get Questions asking do we have to our lace? Do I have to use purple shampoo? Is it necessary? Can I skip it honestly? Yes, you can skip this part. If you don't have it on hand, and you can just use concealer in the post install to kind of like you know, tweak the orangeness, you don't have to do this. It'S just something somebody here washing the wig might as well do it. You know once I've, you know let that sit for a minute and I'm just here, washing it all out making sure I'm washing the lace out. So I don't have any blue tinted lace and I'm washing out the hair. And lastly, I'm going in with some conditioner, especially after I just use two shampoos. If you didn't know, shampoos are very stripping and drying on your hair. So it's really important to make sure you are using a good, deep, Moisturizing Conditioner after I just let this sit on my hair for depending how long I have sometimes 15 30, the next night. You know the longer the better I like this conditioner I'll, make sure I'll try my best to link down everything in the description box if you're wondering what I'm using and where to get it. Now, let's get into the plucking. The wig is almost air dry because I don't like plucking my wigs when they are wet. I like to pluck them in like they're like not fully dry but have a little bit of wetness to them, plucking, wet or dry. You can pluck wet or dry. Only thing is, if you pluck wet, the knots will come out faster, which can be good, but also can be bad because you can over pluck now, even though I might not end up doing the hair in an actual middle part. I always like to just part it down in the middle when I'm plucking, because it's really crucial to not mess up and pluck the middle part. So I'm just going ahead real, quick and putting it on my actual head, because sometimes the middle on the mannequin head is not the middle on my head. So I like to just put the wig on my head. Real quick and just part me, a nice little part doesn't have to be perfect. Just you know, get the job done. I'M placing this white tissue paper over the wig head to give me something white to pluck under so I can really see the hairline a lot better because I'm plucking over something white. It'S just a tissue paper that came with the wig and the packaging, put the wings back go ahead and to secure my wig down. I just use these little t-pins. You can get them from honestly. The sewing section in any store like Walmart, has them for like like sewing stuff, get it from your beauty, supply store, or you can just search t-pins on Amazon and get you a big old pack for like eight ten dollars. So just make sure you, whenever you can get your wig nice and taunt and secure it all around no folds, no lumps because the tension of having the wig nice and like tight on the mannequin head is going to help. The knots come out a lot easier and now, with my hot comb, we're just going to press the hairline all back and also like press that middle part out. But your hot comb has to be real, nice and hot face and you make sure you're really pressing. It into the roots, my hot comb, is on 500 degrees, Fahrenheit and y'all. Keep asking. Where do I get my really hot hot Combs from I get it from Amazon, this one in particular, it's not in stock anymore, unfortunately, but just type in 500 degrees, Fahrenheit, hot comb and when you're buying it make sure you look through the description of the product That it says it gets up to 500 degrees because some of them they'd be lying, but yeah I'm just trying to really push all those knots flat. You need everything to be flat and pushed back, so you can see it to pluck I'm using my Revlon slant tip tweezer, I'm using tweezers for like almost two years now. The type of trees you use does make a difference, in my opinion, so try different tweezers. Some places can be way too pointy, and that's probably why and that's probably why you have a hole in your wig. So these days I try to not pull up the front a lot like I save the front plucking for like post install. You know I feel, like I'm, I've been pluckingly too much and it just kind of looks better, especially the way it comes pre-plugged a little bit. I don't know if you can see like so you see how like it's like a little bit thinned out up here and then, as you go back, it starts to get thicker like there's more hair. You know that's trying to do we're, trying to create that like thinned out illusion, because that's what matches your natural hairline front, I always just start I'll, just part it out. I just go in my and I just part that little already plugged for you section, even if your wig doesn't come thinned out in the front and it comes pretty thick, I still always just start plucking behind the hairline. First, it just kind of saves you from having crazy, bald spots later, there's lots of little flyaways in this, so I got ta keep hitting it with the hot comb every time, because you need visual clearance when you're doing this, I'm gon na take my tweezer pointed Tip the pointiest part pointing towards the front and then eyes just you know you got ta, pluck it from The Roots like you're, literally plucking, out a chin here, and I plug in a back dragging motion. So I go pluck light. I plug right here. I'M gon na skip that line. I'M going to plug this line, skip pluck, let's skip right here, clock right there and I'm going to back dragging motion but still trying to make sure I'm pulling the hair out from The Roots like you want to pull the knots out from the base and the Sections you're skipping shouldn't be like massive, like it shouldn't be wide like I try to make them like more like than like hairline gaps. You don't want fat gaps in it. That'S what makes it look kind of funny and awkward all the way down here. Like this row, I'm not going to take my tweezer from plucking around here. I'M gon na plug a little bit higher up here in between. If you can't do that, then you can always just like as a beginner. I used to just part it and just pluck it through row by row so like a part that part just did out, switch all that back and then we do the same thing: clock skip, Puck, Skip and just work our way down. Foreign excuse me. I feel like I might end up plucking some holes in this wig, because the Nazis stay a little bit big. That'S something! I'Ve noticed about her Hermosa hair, like the the frontals and the knots be big and thick, like I mean, like the hairline, be thick and the knot to be big and sometimes you'll, pluck the hair, but not to be left. So I have to like go back and try to plug that knot left, because you don't want to leave a knot behind, because a knot will make it look like you pluck anything like you got to pull the hair out from the root for it to look Like you actually plucked the hair, that's what gives that clean, plucked? Look now, I'm just kind of plucking more further back into the hairline. You know just trying to create a gradual thinning of everything you don't have to go all the way to the back. I usually go like like a like an inch like a thumb like tub here I don't go too far back foreign everything back to the front foreign. I really try to do like minimal plucking up here up here. So I just you know right now: muffin pluck in the front, I'm really just plucking back here, like I don't really put my tweezers up down here. Okay, so it's currently 1 13 a.m. In the morning, and logically, I'm like Caroline, you know you pluck the wig. Go to bed do this tomorrow, but like for some reason. So, yes, I know the problem because I kind of have energy. I don't feel like going to sleep so I'm like maybe I think, I'm gon na stay at mind. You I've been up since, like 8 A.M, like I should be exhausted, but I don't know just something about installing a wig at odd hours a night. Just really does me look right where we left off headers awake anyways. I decided I want to do a side swoop because I haven't done a size for a while, since with the hair being so thick, I feel like a side. Soup is a great it's a great hairstyle. You don't have to like do too much plucking and it can still look very natural, only thing that the frontal is not very long on the sides like it's there's deep middle parting, but it's kind of short on the side party like it literally it's that long. But let's see if we can like finessed up so I want to style. I want to style it on the mannequin head, I'm telling y'all get y'all a canvas head to style. Your wigs on, like styling on a mannequin head, is so much easier than styling on your own head. Well, at least for me, because I'm doing the mannequin head, I can see everything perfectly. You know, and this kind of just makes your installs faster. So I'm going to dial in here and install my head guys go ahead and give her a little part through just so I can see exactly where the part's gon na be on my head. Like I said you know, mannequin head doesn't match up to my head. Sometimes, just like a rough part ink I'm going to clean it up on the mannequin, I'm also still trying to like maneuver around this short frontal parting. That was showing tracks because, like it's, like kind of like the awkward curve kind of like go as far back as I can, because I fight for a proper swoop, it has to go down pretty far, all right cool. So that's our little rough part, I'm just gon na clip this out of the way. Once I had my you know, rough draft of the part carved out for me. I can go ahead and start just pressing out the roots and just pressing the hair into the style. I want taking your time to really go Section by section like I am right now and pressing out the roots of your hair. It'S going to make your wig! So flat like, if you skip this step babes, your wig is going to be a little bit bumpy here, I'm using this care care wax stick. This is another great product to use with your hot comb to really press it out, but I will say, use this product sparingly before I used to go and use the wax for each section of the hair that I'm pressing out. But that's going to make the hair really greasy, so mainly, I usually just use a little bit of wax like in the first few sections of the bottom, and I mainly like to use the wax on the top because I feel like it doesn't get as greasy. If I just really use it towards the top, but I am still going in piece by piece making my parts and just pressing out the hair section by section like take your time on this step, it's going to really make a big difference on how flat your Wig ends up looking another advantage of styling on your mannequin head is that you can really see all the details and get the style to be as like crisp as you wanted to because girl. I cannot be hot combing, my head. The way I am this mannequin, I will burn myself so at the same time, I'm also taking this time to kind of like clean up the part. Like I said, I was going to do and just really get that swoop to make sense as much as it can, because you know the side parting of this wig is not that giving, but I was still able to manage to like you know, finesse a little. Some some to really make everything, look, nice and professionally done. I make sure I'm also you know, carving out the back and pressing out the back like don't just be lazy and press the front out, make sure you're pressing out the back and getting that perfectly neat. You know finished look. I also make sure I have like the hairs covering the track, so you can't catch me lacking in any angle and finally, after I've pressed everything out both sides, I'm going in with my tweezer to just kind of like pluck the part out a bit since this Hair is on the thicker side for the frontal density. You know the part's not showing out that much, so I'm just trying to gently go around and just pluck out the little curved swoop part that I've created, but not doing too much, because I know if I plug too much. What if I put the wig on my head - and I want to change the part, because it wasn't exactly how I needed it to be it's just a rough plucking and I'm going to like you know, Define the part even more once I've installed the wig foreign Plucking we can go ahead and I'm going to just straighten the hair here on the mannequin, because I can get the roots and I can get the back a lot better, honestly style, your wig on your mannequin. If you can, it will make the installation process a lot faster and just less stressful, so here I'm just using my um Avion Ava NYC 10 in one main primer. I mainly just use this as a heat protectant to help protect the hair, especially with this hair. Being in a blonder color, it needs a little bit of heat protective on it and I'm using this Garnier Fructis, Sleek and Shine Serum. This is my Holy Grail, favorite styling product ever it's affordable, drugstore, and I just put that in the hair. To kind of you know like it says, help protect from frizzy, and it gives some shine to it. For the sake of this video not becoming more of a movie than it already is, I did not include all the clips of me straightening. The haircut I feel like straightening is, very you know, straightforward, no pun intended, but I just use a typical chasing method. I use a rat tail comb, I let it chase the flat iron, but if you guys are interested in like a detailed hair, straightening tutorial, I got y'all, but for the purpose of this video being already almost damn near an hour, long y'all get the gist. Once I was done, straightening the hair, I'm just showing you guys that I gave the hair a nice little blunt chop, I'm always chopping the ends of my hair. It doesn't matter what look I'm going for. I feel like a blunt cut on the ends. Just makes the hair look more healthier and just looks thicker in my opinion occur this. Is she she's, ready, lovely? I'M really obsessed. These days are just like prepping, the wig fully start almost as possible, like styling it on my mannequin head these days, and if you know I normally don't really wear wig caps. I mainly wear them sometimes just to like protect my braids. You know from getting caught on the cliffs, I'm not, I don't believe in wig caps, ball caps unless you're doing actual glued down installed in the US. Those are important because it's going to help you from like you know it's not like a barrier to not get glue onto your actual hair, but for glueless and stoves. I feel like you, don't really need one, but sometimes I will put one on Just for frenzies or just to like you know, help the Braves not get stuck in the little clips and stuff. Here'S how the lace is. Looking the laces like slightly tinted to the light brown color and I like the lace so far, it's like look like it's going to be some look thick or anything, but I always like to tint my lace, no matter what state it's in and I'm always using This Maybelline Fit Me Foundation because it's the exact shade match of my skin and I'm using the shade 356 warm coconut and I'm just gon na get my little brush. I'M going to dab that into our lace. This just kind of helps it like blend into your skin tone. Better. I see people do the foundation step like after the install and my thing with that. I feel like adding makeup after it kind of just like makes it mix more into like whatever glue or spray you're using, and it doesn't like. I don't think it for me personally. It doesn't blend, as naturally as just doing it before before we put her on when I cut off the lace in the back. That'S just there. I don't know why it's there, sometimes some wigs have it some don't, but I'll just cut it off cure our elastic Clips back here a little things, because you want to make sure you have the wig fitting perfectly in your head and we can put it on All right we're working with get you some hair clips. Honestly, it's the little things I've learned like have made my install game a lot better like getting hair clips and just clipping the hair. In my way, when I'm working really helps me get really helps me in, like the most significant insignificant but significant way. Now, let's cut the lace around my art ears. I feel like I've never had a way that, like fits perfectly around my ears, I think they're kind of made to not be that way. That way you can like kind of like customize it to your ear shape. I do have a detailed tutorial showing exactly slow down how I get like a perfect cut around my ear, which is a quick little tutorial. I usually just you know, get a little rat tail comb and I just kind of like feel around my ear and I feel for the top of my ear is, and I kind of like try to like part out around that. I think I've drawn like an upside down. U, honestly, oh okay, nice see the air popped out the other side. Okay, cut our little sections into a spray and hold down our lace, I'm doing the clueless installs, I'm going to be using this ebb and Lace spray than this. If you're still like using this layer, lace, I'm judging you sis, because this does not hate the way it is. It'S like this takes forever to dry. I still love this product for like styling hair. Before, like laying my lace, I don't use this anymore. I only use this for styling. This is like a way improved version of that. So get this. If you're using got to be still now to cut my legs, my lace off first before I lay it down, I have invested. I haven't invested because ten dollars got me a big old pack, companies in here 30 pieces of eyebrowsers from Amazon for like ten dollars, because the fresher the Rosier the better eating a new Fresh razor, because I like to use razors to cut off my lace. So first thing, like I said I like to cut my lace off before I glue it down and I cut my lace. I literally just follow the natural just follow the hairline already there unless, like my hair, is coming out further down than the hair, but I just kind of just follow the curve of the hairline already created, cut that off. I'M gon na try to cut off as much lace as possible like if there's no hair on it. It really doesn't need to be there. You know, and since I got to use my scissors to get that detailed chop and come, let me chill out now and for my sides I like to pull them out. Like my little Sideburn baby hairs, I pull those out. First, just I got like I said anchor to hold down the lace, and then I lift the wigs like so, and I spray right under where it's gon na be and for the sides. I got ta like spray a little bit further back, sometimes to make sure I get Auto lace, because it's a lot of lace back there and then you know, use my fingers to spread that product around foreign ER on, like a warm warm setting but low power To get my whatever, I can find either right tail comb and I'm just trying to like push it all in to get it to nice. Like lock and set foreign. You can definitely go ahead and like skip the blow dryer step and just wait for it to dry and that works. I think it doesn't work as well like the blow. Dryer stuff is really going to help. You ensure that you've got that lace on a lock. So don't skip that. I feel like because it's way too far down these days, I like to not have my wig too far down, because it looks kind of funny when you're not rocking your natural forehead and then I'm going to spray it on top. I try not to spray too much. I try to make sure I'm just really using my finger to spread that product around, because you really don't need too much of this I'm gon na spray, Pat what I've been doing when I use my blow dryer like I'm literally like staring deep into my mirror And looking right at the lace because, like you, can sometimes see like when the lace is like sticking up and I'm just trying to use the end of this rat tail comb to push it all flat like. I should not see nothing lifting like that's what I'm doing right now, I'm literally it's about just like looking for every bump and groove of the lace and trying to flatten it out until it disappears into your skin. Thank you now. Typically, if I see like lifting anywhere right now, I feel like I did a pretty good job of snatching everyone down. If I see lifting I just like, will spray the end of this and tap the place tap everywhere. One more time. I think I did a good job this time, I'm getting my elastic band, and this is a regular sewing like this and I'm just gon na put that over our waist. So she can have a moment to sit and settle before I try to like slip. The baby hairs these these these suckers down, come out of the way all right. It'S only like what five minutes, I usually I said five ten minutes. It doesn't have to be that deep, because we're gon na be holding it down some more, but just to make sure the leg is not gon na lift. When I try to do the baby hairs, because that's when you get the most within honestly now, we can get into doing our baby hair. See I'm just going a little diagonal cut right here, just to get some baby hairs just a little bit of plucking because, like I said the hairline, I did not, it was so thick. I knew I was not gon na be able to pluck it all at on one go. So that's what I'm trying to do right now. That'S so dense on this unit transfer want to pluck more or not, but we'll see, I'm just spraying, some of that oven spray on top of the baby. Here, it's just to help them lay flat foreign. I just like to like start at the top of my eyebrows. First, I do have a very detailed baby hair tutorial as well, if you're interested in that, because I really don't talk during my baby hair installs like I need autofocus and then to curl my baby hairs and going in with my I got it from Amazon mini Flat iron - and I always like to do inward curls, like Curly under not curling it the other way I feel like it just looks better the curl, the better off you will be with your baby hairs. I just be scared. I'M gon na burn myself because I totally burning myself and to actually delay the baby hairs we're using the Eco Styler gel. I love using this stuff for my baby hairs and, like I was saying so, it's like my baby hairs. I usually try to like do like a rough like little swoop them up and I'll brush them out before. I just lay them down see if I like the way they're going and then I get the little Eco, styler and yeah foreign foreign draft, because this don't make no sense right now, but I just needed. I took a little rough draft moment for it to set, and then I, like, you know, finished tweaking it, but this is good enough for now put this back on show two. If yours are still not so good, it's hurt now, let's get into the actual swoop Parts portion and your brush, even though we was pressing it before we're going to press it out again. Oh Lord, that was fine. Okay, that was so freaking hot. I as hell. That'S what I like to do most of my person on American head, because I know I'm gon na burn myself um, I'm gon na take this off really quick just so I can see how it's laying I'm gon na put it back on my legs. Let me see how it's laying looking so cute, already: okay right here, jump scare, since I wanted to do my makeup, I decided to like go off camera, do my makeup and then do the swoop, because the swoop is going to be in the way of my Eyebrows and all of that, so I just you, know, finished being my face real cute and the way I did my swoop. I don't really like doing very hard set swoops. I just kind of keep it very simple, so here I'm using that got to be spray. It'S the right time to use, got to be, and I'm just spraying, that on the top and around the hair, to keep everything very flat and I'm just using my hot comb again to kind of just curve and press the swoop out. The way that I want it to be, and as far as how I secured the swoop - I I did it I literally when it comes to my swoops. I just pinned them behind my ear at the most, sometimes I'll, get a little bobby, pin and pin it. If I need it be, but I like more of a soft swoop, I don't like them very pressed out and just like you know, yeah y'all know the suits. I'M talking about, like I've assumed some very like very well molded swoops, I'm not into the molded. Look. I'M more into like kind of like just a natural little side swoop, type of vibe. So here I'm just kind of getting behind my ears as best as possible, and the rest of it is just going in with the got to be and combination of your hot comb and your hand in a comb to just keep like tweaking and maneuvering. Everything to kind of set it into place, the got to be is gon na it's what's gon na help set the swoop in place without you having to like mold everything down too much foreign just to really set it off. I'M going in with my lighter shade. Concealer, like the concealer shade I used to highlight under my brows, I'm just using that to draw in the part just to make you know everything, look very dramatic and just you know, Chef kiss like this install. I didn't think it's gon na give as much as it did, but now that I'm like watching everything come editing, I'm like wow, I did that I ate and you can eat two just like me. If you follow everything and just you know, practice and consistency. Of course, thank you very good tweaking this continuously until it looks good enough for me, but I'm not gon na put y'all through that, because, most of the time this hairstyle problems, it's just me being obsessive because it looks good the same time. Does it all right? It is like not cute, though, like look at that. Oh, but oh feeling, this okay period. Ah now with our son, we made it to the end of another fun. Exciting hair installation Journey give a little side view mm-hmm period um, it's so freaking cute. I feel like all preppy and whatnot, but with us said y'all know how this goes time for me to just match this appearance.
