Think I like us, thank you, foreign, hey, guys, welcome back we're doing this wig install so here today we're going to be starting with my acrylic Bowl filled, one third of the way with water and we're just going to start taking my two adore Solutions. We have one color in the color jet black and the other in the color blue black, we're going to combine those colors and begin to dye our hair. Now that our hair color solution is all ready to go, we're going to go ahead and dip that hair right down into this color mix and we're going to start to kind of drift it up and down. So we can work that color into the hair, get it all soaked and we're gon na just kind of just play with it and go up and down. The strands probably should have used the bigger bowl guys if you're going to do this at home. I suggest you do this in the sink, it's just much easier for cleanup and it's much better for your space period, although it is better for the purposes of this video. I was just doing it on this table just so I could create the video for you guys, but yeah use your sink. Also cleanup. Wasn'T that bad. As long as I had a plastic bag down, I was all set to go I'll. Show you just how easy that cleanup is in a second, so I left that sit for 25 minutes could have sat longer. However, 25 minutes was, it was looking all right for me, so I just went ahead and took a baby, wipe and wiped up, and you see how easy the cleanup is when doing this with watercolors simple as that so off camera, I went ahead and rinsed my Unit with cold water, as you can see, the dye did not stick to the lace at all. It rinses right through that lace and it does not die. So it's okay to go ahead and do your dye process before you do your bleaching here, I'm just blow drying my knots and making sure my lace and my knots are completely dry so that we can get a activation from the actual dyeing that we're about to Do now I'm just going to take my small acrylic bowl and I'm gon na end on the side of the bowl and I'm gon na place, my liquid developer into the bowl as well, and I'm just trying to get little by little. I don't want to pour too much so you'll see me going in three different times to add more and more to get the perfect consistency. We don't want anything to be runny or leaky. We want that creamy where it will not move and there you have it. Next, I'm going to start applying this right to the inside of my lace, frontal, but I want to make sure all of my baby hairs and everything is out of the way, because you do not want to bleach the hairs and we're just going to go. Starting from the back and working our way to the front, and the secret to this part is to press through the lace a little bit, because it's so thick, it should not run all over the hair. That was the whole point in making it as thick as we wanted it. So here, I'm just making sure I get all of my baby hairs and everything covered at the end I'll slip the lace over and check it quickly. Just make sure that I covered everything. All the way to the beginning of my lace, frontal after making sure it was all said and done, we went ahead and placed some foil just for heat activation purposes, so we can get that to really start to do its job, and I noticed before I finished That it was already turning, so I literally left this on for about 25 minutes, and that was it and, as you can see, we have a better situation than we've had before foreign. This is all rinsed out. The unit is now looking like this. It is actually perfect for my skin complexion without having to die or tint anything, but I'm going to tint that as you'll see here soon so guys there are Parts all over your unit, including on the parts. So, in order to make that clean, you still have to go in and pluck through the middle of that part, to make that very, very clean. I wasn't able to record it because I thought I was recording and I wasn't so I apologize for that. I'M going to try to give you a little synopsis of what I did on the background part of the video. So I just went straight through the middle of the part and took out any of the hairs that were sitting in the middle and it helped it give it a much cleaner look. My assistant here is prepping, an old wig for me and yeah. That'S what we're doing so back into this unit. That'S how the part is looking once I finished and I took my time it was very tedious and I'm just going now and plucking through through the front few layers of this frontal and we're just going to try to get some thinning to the front. Now I wouldn't recommend you guys do this all on the mannequin head, I like to pluck it to where it's a decent pluck situation, but I know that I'm going to go in and plug some more once it is installed on my head because I too many Times see people over pluck the wigs, and I don't want to do that here today, so this is just my lace, tint spray that I found off of Amazon and I went on and tinted that once which I should have stopped there, and I did this off Camera a second time and my lace was actually too dark and you'll see that soon, but it still turned out okay. So now I'm just going right in with the with the hot comb, and I'm just going to start to get my hair to go into the directions I want it to go and on this unit I want to create a more realistic hairline than the ones that You normally would see so for me my hairline is shaped kind of squared off kind of more so like a guy's hair would be lined. My hair is sharp on its edges, so I want to mimic my same hairline and give this a more realistic hairline and not that oval round one. So to do that, I'm just going to use the actual parts that I pull out as I shape my hairline and use those as my baby hairs and we'll see how that comes out here shortly. But yeah I'm just working my way through with the hot comb, and this is a real hot comb guys. So I had to keep running back and forth to the kitchen to warm that up, but combing the hair in the positions that you wanted to go in. Just gives you a A View to be able to see what your hair is going to start turning out looking like, so I'm just making sure that everything is going where I needed to go before, placing it on my head. So enough for the install my braid pattern looks a little something like this. I'M going to take that back bottom row and I'm going to sew that down and along the sides up the sides of my hair, I'm gon na just sew that wig cap down onto my head after I go ahead with my got to be spray and get The front all sealed off. Thank you! So now I'm just gon na go in and try that wig on my head to see how the colors looking and now I can tell that it is too dark for me. However, it's going to have to work out because we're here now so both products that I use the lace, tint mousse and the lace tint spray were two new items that I never saw anyone use before and I just wanted to try them because I'm like I Was uncomfortable wearing Lace, Wigs because I wasn't really comfortable with the makeup, but I still ended up having to put the makeup on my head. However, I know now for next time that I do not need the lace tint spray as I'm not as dark. As I thought I would be to use that spray, so I'm gon na just go in with the mousse and leave it at that. Oh so, as this glue dries, I'm going to go ahead and start to sew around the perimeter of the rest of my head just to secure my wig cap onto my head to protect that hair. Thank you. I did three rounds of this glue on my hair. I only showed two rounds on this video, but now after the third round has gotten clear, I just went ahead and started to lay that lace onto my hairline be sure to only do this once your glue is starting to become see-through, transparent and tacky. My glue is really really tacky, so I'm comfortable enough to go in with the teeth of my comb and just press down on that edge to get my hair and my neck too secure to it here. I'M just recreating my full hairline that I made earlier in the unit by pulling those baby hairs back out and then I'm gon na proceed to go in and start plucking. As I said before, you don't want to pluck all of the hair on the mannequin, because you can take out too much so you want to pluck some of it and then finish the rest while it's on your head. So that's what I'm about to do now and I'm just going to strap this band on for about 10 minutes. Just so, I could secure that lace, and I don't know about you guys, but if you ever try to put on a lace wig and you do not use a wax stick, you are making all of the mistakes that you can make with your hair wig. This wax stick, and that goes for all wax sticks. This is not the first wax. Stick that I've ever used. They are pretty much all the same, but they do Miracles when it comes to your wigs, do not skip the wax stick. If it's nothing else, you can put in your hair to make your hair Define itself the way the wax stick does when it comes to trying to manipulate Hairs To Go a certain direction. The wax stick is what you need and that's why everyone uses it. So do not skip this step, otherwise you're not going to have your hair turn out the way that you wanted it to so. While I plug my hair, I just want to explain the reason why I didn't pluck so much hair. Now I ordered this hair in 150 density instead of 180 density. So it's kind of thin to the point where the knots are bigger and if I pluck too much it would have appeared to have had bald spots in it, and I wish I would have ordered it 180 density. I could have a lot more, but I did not so I just decided to pluck enough, and this hair is naturally thick so because of that I wanted my baby hairs to still give a thick look to them, but not as thick as the hair. If that makes sense, so I did go in and pluck some more, I plucked a lot more than I showed you guys here on tape and I had to edit that out for time purposes, but know that I did go in and pluck some more and you'll. Also see me pluck again, once I cut the baby hairs now with the baby hairs, I decided to make them a little longer because in a natural world, if a person has long hair, their baby hairs are generally long. It'S rare to see a person with short baby hairs and their hair is long, I'm not sure. What'S going on with the bait the short baby hairs that people like to put on their wigs but to me it gives it gives fake it gives wig. So realistically, if you have long hair like this, your baby hairs are not going to be super short, so the goal is at first glance when a person looks at me. I want them to think that my hair is real. I don't want them to look at it and think that it's a wig, because I make my baby hairs too short, or I didn't pluck it enough or something so I just wanted a realistic look, which is why I'm going in and creating my hairline, I'm going In and making sure my baby hairs aren't too short and I'm making sure that things are thinned out the way they're supposed to be. Another thing that I wanted to be sure of which I decided while doing it, is that the Messier baby hair look was actually more realistic to have the actual, perfect baby hairs where they're laid slayed and no hairs out of place. It'S unrealistic and you usually only see that on a wig or fake hair, so I went ahead and made it as I was making it perfect and I accidentally made it unperfect and I decided I liked the unperfect look. So I wanted to keep it that way. So you'll see where I kind of made it a little unperfect and it goes off a little bit of each other and I decided to stop because I was like that actually looks cute and it actually looks natural, and I want the most natural look here with This wig at first sight, so let's get into it all right, foreign foreign foreign. Thank you so guys. I'M noticing that that mousse gave me a very dry feeling the color. Wasn'T there, the shine wasn't there and it just felt really really hard. So I went on it with some oil moisturizing mousse, and this was probably the best decision I ever made for my life right now. In this decade it was the best mousse that I ever put in my hair, and I just thought that I was falling in love with it. You could see my face changing as I'm putting this in my hair and I'm realizing how dope this stuff really is, but so much for my messy messy bear look, so I had to go back in over them and I just wasn't trying to take the time Out to get them to be perfectly imperfect, so I just went ahead and swooped them so now they're looking a little bit more perfect than they were before I like them, the other way better, but maybe some other time and let's get right into the rest of This video, we are nearing the end.
