skin i got i can't really say if you have sensitive skin but as far as like if you like a a full coverage foundation you like that girl i think it's been a while yes it has and i'm glad to be back so let me show you so today you guys see the mannequin when you see dominican that means we mean business so this is the unit that we have today this is zayla xyla this is what we're gonna be working on now i always like to do more affordable um tutorials especially when i'm you know when it is beginners here someone who may not be as advanced because one you don't want to waste your money the girls are buying a 500 wigs and you don't know how to pluck before you get to that level let's slow down it's okay to get a wig just like this that's 50 you know a fraction of the cost and you practice and perfect your skill this is what i'm all here for and the robe is linked in the description box thank you shayla this valentine's day is coming up you i'm this is gonna be one of the looks that i'm gonna do for valentine's day don't sleep i'm gonna give you affordable and then i'm gonna take you up top okay so this again is the unit absolutely gorgeous and the good thing about this brand is they make oh i got i got like a little hang out so the good thing about this brand is that they offer pre-plugged so when you're purchasing a wig you should automatically if it doesn't say pre-plug run okay if in 2022 you can't give me pre-plug we don't really need to talk that much so the thing about sensational is that most of their units especially in the what lace cloud9 collection they are pre-plugged so that means there's less work that you have to do but also you get to better see like a you know like a natural gradient so they already they already have like a little transitional gradient but you want to go in and make it even better and you know i'm a lot of work so but sensational have been so disappointing oh i hate that wait okay so tell me why do you hate their lace because i actually feel like their lace is some of the best lace but i'm saying this as someone who is of a lighter complexion let's say you're a deeper complexion that could be a legitimate concern so i'm not even you know what i'ma hear you out but i want you to um i want you to talk to me i'll try isn't playing you know what i'll trade their hairline shape the shapes of their hairlines worrisome worrisome bomb wigs but i need a better shape i need a better shape i need sensational also to work on a better shape hairline because who has that round you know when you think about their core demographic like do you don't like black women we don't have rounded hair lines you get what i'm saying so again let's talk to the people but i wanted to focus on tweezing so this is really important and the type of tweezers that you use is gonna be you know it's gonna help you to create a neater more natural and realistic hairline so let me see you see these i'm showing you what not to buy so the next time that you go and you want to pick up your tools you're interested in like you know plucking and you want to elevate don't pick these up so this is an example the beauty 360 brand this is from the drugstore and what i dislike about this because again i bought these just so i can tell you what not to buy so here's the thing about these okay whenever you are doing a plucking routine you want to make sure that your tweezers are slanted so let me get this so look at this this is what you they always have to be on a slant so you see they're slanted but look how rounded they are there's no true indentation at the top so i'm gonna compare this one which i do not like which i don't think that you should get but if this is only the this is if this is only what's available to you please get it we can work around it but what i want you to do is get these slanted tweezers with the indentation at the top because typically they are more precise they have sharper edges which will allow for a cleaner cut you see let me show you side by side because i understand look at that do you see the difference let me know if you see the difference i prefer the black tweezers not the silver tweezers i want the black ones you see the difference i'm going to say i don't like the hairline as well i have the outrageous and it was so upset oh my issue is hiding the front lace and it's staying down without without white flaky residue once it dries bad blue experience okay i see the difference yes wait i want to pull up you know since i'm live i definitely want to pull up um damn okay so okay so here we go just so you guys can see i want you to purchase these not these so these are sharper these are going to be cleaner and again now y'all let me know if you purchase a wig do you comb it out immediately or do you like to do your customization and then go and comb it out because for me because i like meekness i like to go in and tweeze and do my customization and then i like to brush the unit so let me know because i want to do what's realistic for you all so if i see the most of you saying like let's customize first and then you let me know but i'm ready to get into it so i like to put my unit first on the mannequin head when i have it on the mannequin head this allows me to just kind of see like can you bring the um hair a little bit closer yes so what i'm going to take this off because i don't squeeze on a mannequin head i'm always going to tweeze on a canvas blackhead so if you uh listen so i make wigs for some people and they don't have a phone mannequin head they don't even have a canvas blackhead please go get this this is going to be your saving grace it looks ugly but let me tell you something effective and you can get your own head circumference this is 23. i tell you guys my head circumference is 23 inches so if you let's say you're 21 inch head circumference 22 23 and a half they offer that so and even if you want to make this bigger you can you can wrap tape around it to make it bigger even if you want to buy like a 22 and you know sometimes you have braids sometimes you may have your hair pulled back in a bun you can use tape to you know be a little innovative and make it even larger so this is the canvas blackhead i have my t-pins and i'm going to use these individual t-pins to secure the wig in place as i pluck because i don't this will be all over the place we'll be dancing and i don't want to do that so i'm going to take this put this to the side and i'll have the mannequin linked in the description box for you guys okay but first of all let me put in her hair let me do that since i want you guys to see yes okay my bed just okay let's put her on and i'm gonna pull her closer to you guys okay yeah we're gonna be dancing i don't have time for it okay so i have her on and i'm going to use my t-pins she said i'm at work sneaking you know what get it while you can okay do what you can let me see let me make sure it's positioned in the front okay so let me and you guys know my favorite sensational unit is serena if you don't know about serena let's say you don't like this long look look into sensational serena oh you love my hair thank you so much thank you so much this is a crochet unit now we got to about to start um tweezing and also as a beginner but i what i need for the girls these are the best alligator clips out i don't know if you know but these are some of the best alligators and i keep linking them one they're pink they're pretty so you know they're me but i need you guys to get alligator clips so that your process can be neat um i think sometimes when you sacrifice neatness you can sometimes sacrifice um you know the quality of your work and even my 50 wigs be laid real cute y'all see me i don't care so here we go my issue is i have a small head so i can't usually buy synthetic wigs because they come in a standard size of about 22 oh okay that's a valid point so are you able to braid your hair because if you're able to bridge your hair you can add in some extensions give you a little like a little bit more room you know what i'm saying i'm trying i'm trying to think if there's some options for you so first i want to really see what i'm working with so i'm going to get my hot comb so this is one of the best hot homes on the market you know they are not paying me to say this okay but this is the best hot home and judging by uh the commission y'all are purchasing this you guys are buying this but i like to show you guys in real time that this works so what i want to do i want to slip everything back you need to see what you're doing this isn't like a human hair wig where you can co-wash it and then the hair is like pretty lame it's laid flat because it's you know damp from moist so i like to take this and move it back and i'm not even gonna put a part in this because what i'm finding if you like the flip over method like i do don't put a part in it just yet rock with me for a bit and again you know there's a lot of people in here and i want you guys to thumbs up so i'm going to start flat art let me show you really small motions you don't want to slide the comb far too back or too far back i'm sorry okay once you slick everything back it's up then you can start making progress and when you are working with synthetic units i need you to have the temperature of your hot comb between 10 and 15. so it needs the dial needs to sit somewhere between 10 and 15 okay between 10 and 15 so because if your stuff gets on fire because i burned my hard drive i burned my external hard drive with this big attack so i am not confident in plucking because i think i will over plug the hairline right and that's that's a legitimate concern so now i've already i've hot combed the hairline so that i can get it to slick back that's the goal here so now we have less humps less resistance it's laying more flat to the canvas blackhead surface i'm going to take my pink alligator clips and i'm going to clip this hair away because i want to be able to see everything some people say to part the hair and then start but we can as a beginner you can leave it just like this but here is the trick so i don't want you guys when you are plucking because you see what your hairline looks like okay we see what the hairline looks like so what i want to do with these super you see super sharp slanted very precise tweezers i don't wanna i don't need to start tweezing right here i think that's where a lot of people go wrong if you are tweezing and you're starting at the very front your don't do that i need you to start take your pinky listen to paint take your pinky from the edge of the hairline for your pinky that's about the distance that you need to start plucking and i just move around that's all i want you to do move around and i'm very close to the surface of my canvas blackhead you should be making contact with your canvas blackhead at every moment if you are plucking back here don't do that if you're plucking back here that's not how we do it i want you to use your pinky a pinky with distance from the edge of the hairline the edge of the front of the hairline and then i want you to use those tweezers make direct contact with the canvas blackheads because that means you are pulling on the knot sometimes when you guys are tweezing you are pulling on the hair and so that's why you get those you get those like that peach fuzz you get that frizz so i need you to make sure that you're clearing the knot from the lace now i'm going to show you two ways to tweeze because again sometimes people want to take their time they they wanna they wanna create a part in the hairline because that makes them comfortable that gives them a guide i understand we're gonna do it all let me make sure i'm answering no when you okay so why this is why i'm telling you don't start at the hairline if you start at the hairline you're moving it back listen to me if you start plucking at the edge of your hairline you are moving it back the great thing about these synthetic wigs is that the very front edge is it's pretty thin you have better transitional density but as you start to move away it gets thicker that's why i want you guys to do that finger width and then just plug i want you to plug make contact and if you like but pink if i do it like this i can't really see i understand so what i want you to do is then go back with your hot comb and i want you to go in and very small i don't want you to go deep into the hammer i just need you to keep that this the edge of this hot comb across the hairline okay let me make sure y'all can see it okay so we're going from this this is what you get straight out the pack when you when you hot comb use that pinky width you got you you're on to something now i'm gonna start looking at areas that look a little bit more densely packed because one thing about hairlines and they're they are not consistent trust me they are not consistent these are typically knots can be done by hand which typically but you know these are machine wigs so honey unless you're getting a full lace wig because that's the big dogs right there yes i see the difference so this is this is tea if you buy your wig i'm telling you nine times out of ten you get better transitional density across the front edge in the center this is where you're gonna get the best but then when you get to as you move closer to the ear tabs it starts to get a little bit more dense a little bit more heavier so i like to instead of focusing here i want you to come down here using that pinky with rule and i want you to just like that i don't need i don't want you to grab a ton of hair very light and i want you to work on your emotions so when you s my motion this is my motion you see what i'm saying i don't want you it you know i don't smoke very small very light and you keep moving if you keep moving you are less likely less prone to make an error that you can't you know come back from you see how i'm moving i just i keep moving and i'm focusing your tabs but if you do if you find that you are tweezing closer to the ear tabs i need you to be mindful of the wefts because if you if you tweeze too much and you tweeze in an area where the weft is fairly closer to the hairline so i'm telling you right now the wefts will always be more visible on the sides never the crown sides so i want you to be careful tweeze a little bit more here more towards the ear tabs versus right here because this is typically where those wefts start to come in right at your temple this is where your wefts start coming in at your temple because this is like this is your you know your your six inch with most of the frontal but you know the lace frontal is giving you that six so be careful now somebody gave me a super chat who did it i can't stay but i'll be watching tonight plexus like thank you so much selena the hottie thank you so much for that i appreciate you very much thank you pink my hairline does not go straight across both of my pink my hairline does not go straight across both of my sides at the hairline temples exceeds uh so how should i pluck when it comes to the temple i like this question this is a great question thank you my line does not go straight and i have the same issue so if you find that when you are when you are installing your wig one for this very reason it's very rare like when i'm just getting a wig you guys always see i don't just cut the lace and then just start i always it's like i put the wig on with the lace attached because i need to i always see when i pull that lace where is it going to be positioned because you need to ensure that that lace front edge clears your natural hairline and in my tutorials i really tried to like convey to you guys that when you are installing your unit pull that lace until the edge of the wig of that hip until the you know the edge of the hairline clears meaning it comes just past your natural hairline and for those of you who think like your hairline needs to be straight no so that's why we invest in things like pinking shears we get things like i'm going to show you and um please don't i wouldn't i would not cut lace with this these are hair shears intended specifically for hair so it's really important because then when you are trimming other things besides hair with hair shears you can dull your blades so this is why and this came from rpg show they sent me this so this is great this is what these you see these eyebrow scissors these can come in a nail kit i've linked some in the description box they look exactly like i like i need something small like this so that when i am trimming my lace because how you cut your wig in the center is not how you cut your wig on the sides i hope that makes sense that's why you guys always see me cut here first at the center and then i deal with the sides separately because again my hairline comes down i have like a square hairline towards the sides so again as you install your wig make sure that the lace front edge clears or comes just in front of your natural hairline did i let me know if i let me know if i helped you let me know i want to i want to make sure that i you know i explain that well i usually use the eyebrow razor to give it the zigzag effect you can also use that again um y'all might want to check out rpg show because they sent this over so you know the next time you go if you shop with them this is what they're giving out like girl this is girl retractable i love it but this they sent this in a little kit so i think this is really they're not paying me to say this they send me the whole time but this girl yes so okay what if your hairline is thin at the temple how do you make your lace front edge look natural okay happy sunday thank you danielle is it daniel danielle what if your hairline is sitting at the temple how do you make your least front edges look natural so what do you mean do you mean the wig or your natural hairline is sitting at the temple because you know what's the area of a common area where there's sinning so to my ladies who wear wigs let's keep it real um you know some the very center the very center of the unit um when you are laying your wig sometimes this area is more prone to breakage it might have a little bit of thinning but in those instances that's why i want you guys to make sure that the edge of your hairline clears any area that you want to conceal you can use lace front wigs to conceal problem areas pink also showed me how to cut the ear tab okay yes yes so we're gonna we're gonna work side you know step by step now let me go back to trimming because this is this is i need to tweezing and plucking always making sure to be careful okay because you see let me just let me show you oh you see what that heat does let me let me bring you see what i love is when it when it works you see what we're doing brooklyn is in the building i see you brooklyn like my second home so um you see now how many people so let me know do you want me to keep tweezing do you want me to tweeze some more because this is what a beginner might do and this is great this is great work what you have done is created little divots you've created better transitional density you don't have to you know you don't have to plug into oblivion okay oh is that your hair is in the building how you doing girl thank you so much for coming in i appreciate you so let me know if you do you want me to tweet some more do you want me to tweet some more y'all are calling the shots because if not i'm gonna show you a different way to tweeze on the other side so if you want me to keep going let me know and typically when you are tweezing make sure that there's balance so even with myself i often find that i may tweeze more on the right side or more on the left side so sometimes there's a difference so you want me to keep tweezing okay yeah i love y'all thank you so much this is i'm telling you this is your show you call the shots so i'm gonna keep tweezing now i've tweezed a significant amount so listen to me let me let me back up a bit i've tweezed to get nothing out first time i set a pinky away what i want you to do now let's do it index finger away because we've already started to remove hair so i don't want you to continue thinning out the front where transitional density means that you transition from a an area of lower density to higher density so that's what we're doing i want to use my what what's the point of point is this pointer whatever this is and i'm going to use this as a guide and i'm not gonna pluck any at any point before this just behind it okay going back so again just so we understand the concept of transitional density we're going we're creating an area of we're going from low to high density that's what creates a more natural looking hairline all of the um the black women and the hair that i you know work on um it's not consistent all throughout it's it's not always as thick from the edge as you move towards the crown here we are good and if you're new here this is your first time okay give it a thumbs up i appreciate you for coming in and what i will say is depending on where you come in it may not look like anything is going on but one thing about me it works every time and you can do it yourself and you will find that it works just keep practicing and as i move over here i'm i'm being careful here's another tip i forgot hold on if you need a marker if you need to put a placement as to where these wefts are put a prong clip this is a double prong clip this is your indicator so that you do not tweeze heavily in this area this is where the wefts start beginners need guides so this is a great way to to refine yourself as your tweezing this is an area that i want to stay away from i want to avoid this area because these are where my wefts are i'm new and i'm enjoying the class thank you so much antoinette okay so going back okay making sure that the slanted edge of my tweezers are making direct contact with the canvas block head we don't pull from here if you're trying to pull individual strands no will death grab your tweezers because the ones i have on my suit yeah let me tell you something your tweezers will make the biggest difference trust me because the ones that i told you not to get these are terrible i'ma just let you know because you will do double work but if you have to use this i understand it's all about you know what's available to you and we can make it work but i want you to take your time with these now let me keep going and also keep in mind because i'm i'm doing this i have never combed out the hair i have never removed any of the hair that i plucked out of the lace so everything is still in there so we're going to comb it later but again this is really good for beginners so that one your process remains neat that's what i'm trying to instill within you all because i mean with the way that the uh industry is looking now a lot of hairstylist uh the results aren't consistent and that's no shade um but that's why when i install wigs it's consistent and the things that change are because there are improvements that i've made that i noticed that can help you guys and me now let me show you oh no look at this oh no oh okay she's moving oh now if you're scared of the hot corn some people are use the edge use the edge who gave me um thank you so much was shot with shanae with shawnee help me please i don't mean to mispronounce your name happy sunday says show us wig wearing newbies how to do it can y'all please like the video i know tell them tell the

because then i'm gonna have to get in my zone because we about we almost almost 40 minutes in so let me know do you want me to keep going or what thank you so much lukita lakita fields thank you let me know do you want me to keep going because then i'ma speed it up you know what because i like to you know have some clean work so i'm gonna okay so first we did the pinky then we did the pointer then i'm going to say my my this nail is clean first you do the pinky then you're the pointer you need a thumb right because we want to make sure that we keep getting further away in very small increments okay so i'm behind because y'all gonna see the difference you're not gonna play with me hold up and sometimes you gotta get on your mannequin you know let her know what your name is like put her on a slant hold her down right because this is what i'm not online this is this is this is what i'm doing this works for me because you know i'm just putting y'all on when i be in here making magic this is what i do this is what i do because i gotta get it done don't be afraid of the frizz i'm telling you do you worry about that okay all right now what i'm gonna do oh look what let me see please show how to cover grids on the wig okay let me i'm just missing young um you see me we didn't we didn't came sleeping came fine now as far as hiding the grids on a wig on the lease rather you can okay so i'm not even gonna listen one thing i'm not gonna do but it's not my expertise or i know someone who can do it better go follow miss precious and read this precious movie miss precious marie is one of the most advanced wig wig bass on the internet um the whole fake scalp technique was hers i mean come on like for real so she does she has a video where she talks about like hiding the grids and you know improving the look of the lace so i'm gonna shout this person for real and i want y'all to go check her out please when i tell you please there's so much you can learn from her very sweet sweet young lady so please check her out but um to hide the grids what some people do what is the tweezers what some people do is use concealer they'll use um foundation they'll use you know those little liquid band-aid uh the liquid band-aid uh products but i don't do that because i don't mind you know i don't mind i just subscribe that's what i'm talking about we support each other around these parts so this is this is where we are this is what we started with okay whoa now if you aren't comfortable with just tweezing the way that i did i understand what i want you to do is get so we just did this we just did this side so i'm gonna put a marker so i don't over tweeze so i put my t pin in this area so i know not to go too far past i'm going to pin down this side what i'm going to do is take this rat tail comb and tweeze out a very small portion look at how much hair i pulled not a lot i'm gonna make sure it's an even section okay here we go see that really like that now you might think to tweeze here i say okay you can do that but i still want you to use that pinky with roll so the front edge is here you know take a t-pin wrap it around the hair pin it so it stays out the way pinky and you can pretty much tweeze behind it so i'm gonna tweeze behind this section that i parted oh the glow up guru thank you so much love you pink you're like the flat onesie and loving sister oh thank you so much i appreciate you the glow up guru yes please thank you i appreciate you as well so you guys see i created this section very small section and i'm going to tweeze behind it so i'm gonna i'm gonna go in because we know we know the motion that we need to do so let me go in here it's always a little bit more interesting tweezing on this side because this is not like you know hold up let me tilt her because i'm gonna get in my zone you know me let me show you guys so let me bring her down because we created this section we can just start plucking don't go don't plug in the section that you parted if you do it the way that i highly recommend just pluck behind it but keep moving and for my beginners out there what i want to do i want to make sure that i know where the wefts are so i'm going to take this double prong clip and clip it right in the area where that weft is so i don't tweeze there but let's get into it and the goal is to keep moving if you stay in one part too long that's how you know says oh and this will be a good time excuse me um excuse me so um when should there be a wig sale that's what i really want to know like that's the big t that's what we really gotta talk about that october wig sale was insane and do you like when you when there's a wig sale do you prefer to buy wigs where the lace is cut or do you want the lace on help help me understand have you ever made a mistake and put a hole while plucking so the only time i've really made mistakes while plucking is when plucking the part because when you put when i apart i go too fast typically but it's because i like to do my part like i like to pluck my part just wrapping the strands of hair around my finger and like sometimes you grab too much when you grab too much or when you when you use too quick of a motion that's when you puncture the lace i mean let me tell you something if you one of the people who did like the 800 1200 wigs please take your time but at that point it should be plucked to perfection so here i go so we have the section at the front that we keep towards the front and i'm just going to use the hot comb and start slicking things back because you you want to see what it's looking like okay now you like pink it doesn't really look like anything i get it i get it but i need you to create another section right behind remove that prong clip briefly and then you want to create another small section across the hairline right so this is my second section that i have parted and sectioned out i'm gonna wrap this around my finger use a t-pin to keep it in place now i'm gonna clip the hair away and i'm gonna come back i keep moving right now the reason why a beginner would like to try this approach is because and you know what maybe let me show y'all let me be neat when you do this approach we flat iron this section just so it's just lays flat that's honestly it but let me put this down so you do this so it lays flat so you can better see what you have going on and you create those sections so you don't over pluck and you create that transitional density that we've been talking about okay let me just chill i'm really i'm really in here and i'm just trying because you know i wanted to make this about an hour so y'all can get in and get out okay so okay so let me show you how this looks let me show you how this looks just let me put the lights though okay so you guys can see we're still we're still making some progress we're making a gradient but again if you want it to look like this you can use the pinky pointer thumb or again you do one one last section let's do the last section i'm going to pull forward quite a bit of hair now this is the part i don't want to confuse you let me let me make sure i'm clear okay so i pulled forward a very thick section of hair you see this is a thick section right here this is where we're at and what i'm going to do with this section pulled forward so y'all can see i can see let me click her back real quick i'm gonna pull her and i'm just gonna i'm gonna tweeze at the edge looks perfect in the hairline looking natural too thank you granted i tease a little bit more because the only reason i'm tweezing this section that's parted forward is because there is enough hair where i feel comfortable and where i would advise a beginner you have enough hair in this section to where you won't over pluck or move you know or thin out the front of the hairline too much so let me do this okay a nice group of hair this is a nice grip of hair okay and if you need like to understand like a little bit more a little bit more than what you would use to wrap around the base of a ponytail like you know when you add a nice cute ponytail you want something that you got some grip that you can have some grip on okay let me just cuz and like i said you should be making contact with the surface of the canvas block head oh wait who gladys do you think mama heading out i appreciate you oh my goodness i appreciate you so much girl i'm attention thank you i appreciate you times that was so nice of you i appreciate you y'all are so sweet god bless so i'm gonna just do this real quick and then i think i can comb it down okay i'm not going to try to comb it now but i'm going to use that and i'm going to look at where we're at oh you see oh see that so you have two different methods and then i'm going to show you guys how to trim the ear tabs because again i got to make this productive make sure everybody understands so one moment one moment okay so this this looks good right this this looks good just give me a moment and thank you so much yes so just to go just go over it this is this is the approach that you would do when you're afraid of like you don't trust yourself to like make sections and pluck accordingly so again you leave the hair as is you use the pinky the pointer and then the thumb so you don't over pluck the edge of the hairline with this you're creating small sections you do one small section then pluck behind it you create another section pluck behind it that third section you pull it forward and you pluck in that section because you have enough hair in that section to where you won't over pluck the choice is yours so once you finish this is not a full lace look this is a synthetic word this is like a 13 by 6. my wigs have my wigs never have this much lace oh you can okay so if you're used to a closure with a closure wig is where it's just the center is about six inches you get about like a six by six situation thank you so much janetta thank you now i've tweezed everything i'm ready to move on i'm going to use the double prong clips double prong clips are excellent if you like to curl your hair if you want to make sure your process is neat again i keep stressing it it's important to me so if you care you can do the same thing but i'm going to use these double form clips to keep the hair slipped back let me bring her up there we go she's in the picture now so i'm going to use her and use these double crown clips to push everything back out of the way now i'm going to remove the alligator clips because i want to show you guys so this is where these are scissors that i've linked in the description box i want you guys to get these because it's a lot easier to cut an ear tab with a smaller sharper set of you know pair of scissors please go get these okay this is where the ear tab is right at the base of the ear tab i've used a double prong clip to clip that hair up and out of my way because i only i only want to remove the lace that i do not need so you need this alligator clip to clip everything away approach it you pronounce it right danielle yes okay okay okay so here i'm about to trim the ear tab making sure all the excess hair is out of the way oh this section is a little stubborn okay okay y'all see are we good i want to make sure that you guys can really see let me okay let me tilt it on an angle this can you see this is how much lace is on the edge i like to first okay i like to first cut here i like to cut one it's pretty easy so i just did this i just made a small cut here because i want to be able to have a nice clean cut so i'm gonna and cut right to the edge of the hairline don't cut please the only reason you should be cutting away hair is when you know you're cutting away hair that you don't need you don't want to cut off a section of the hairline and you miss it you're missing on the sides so this shiny section of the lace edge this is what you need to cut so you see easy it's kind of shiny see that we're gonna take all that off so let me go make sure and this piece is like really in the way girl i'm going to cut so close to the hairline and you want to pull the lace so taught that your scissors just glide i'm telling you that's how it is you see what i did that's how you cut some lace around the ear tabs clean leave all the hair intact and then when you put your wig on okay so when you see because i do this part before i even put the wig on my head i want to see exactly how it's going to lay and i don't want to confuse myself so i'm going to i'm just cutting the excess lace around the ear tab i'm going to do the same thing on the opposite side oh it's been an hour okay any other things you guys want me to um touch on i'm gonna show you again this might be a better angle oh i'm gonna clip this so y'all can see and the great thing about the canvas blockhead and the tripod is it's super adjustable okay i'm gonna use this double prong clip to get it out the way remove this t-pin put it here again when you terminate your tab i need you to make a small incision right before it starts to curve that's my best advice hit it before it curves so about and a little less than an inch because this is the curve this is just you see this is the curve i don't want to cut right there i want to cut right before it okay you want to pull this lace you want to pull it taut tight you know you want to you know put a little tension in it and then you just want to trim it very close to that hairline and do not trim away the hair that's how you that's how you do it when you put your wigs on this should be the energy you should have no lace near the ear tabs no you have not because when you have that extra lace near the ear tabs what you find is automatically you're not even laying flat and you may find that when you go to end to install your wig you may have more on this side one other side this is why you want to just make sure it's clear and you can accurately see how much you trim away if you need to drain so let me let me comb her out because i'm excited like she's a daddy to comb her out i'm going to be using this this is really important this is a rate comb it has the elongated teeth if you don't have one of these i need you to get it but when you start combing hold on y'all okay i just want to show you how you supposed to come you start from the bottom okay start from the bottom work your way up you can use your hands you know as you move through you will start to see the hair come through don't be surprised we tweezed a lot of the hairline okay and this is how you maintain your curl pattern because with a synthetic oil going you got it you gotta do a different approach look how long this is i need that truck oh the tripod is linked in the description girl everything is in the description now i'm going to bring you guys down i'ma bring this down so you see everything so this is this is the hair that came out can you see that please don't be surprised this is the hair that came out now i'm going to bring her down because i want to show you this is good okay if you don't want to deal with the rate comb this is a paddle brush i have one linked below that you guys can use remove the double prime clips please make sure that your wig is still secured to the canvas blackhead which is very important because you don't want to you know have it fall off so i'm going to use this paddle brush because i've already gone through this section with the comb i like to hold it hold the section and brush hold the section brush oh clean very clean come on clean very clean let me do that okay did you see um so the next thing i'm gonna do is okay okay hold this section hold it right above and just oh you know what i'm doing it wrong i need to do the call first i want to start from the bottom work my way to the top because there's a lot of hair coming out grow oh look at all of this look at all that you see that that's a lot of hair okay i'm using the rake comb first make sure the teeth are pointed downward because again this is a synthetic wig you'd be all up in the wefts so pull the hair away go down that's why i like to use my fingers it acts as a guide okay then i go on with the paddle brush get all the shed hair out and then before i put her on the mannequin you know i'm gonna put her on the mannequin because she deserves because we we got to get this show on the road y'all came for the show i'm about to give it but this is this looks so good oh my god this is the valentine's day wig looks so good there's the mannequin oh my gosh she's so high up girl let me bring it down here we go give me a moment here i want to make sure it's centered and yes like give me a moment let me get her together i i just have to you know i got a high comment i gotta see i need that lift see let me get a second so here's what i want to do i'm going to take my hard hat spray this is one of the best sprays that you can use okay instead of directly spraying on the hair spray your edge brush and just just look it back stick it back do y'all see what i did do y'all because y'all don't y'all don't see like this is come on let me put a little bit more do you remember how she looked when we first got here you see my good sis laid every time consistent results every time and what the hard head spray does is add a very soft hold but i want you to spray the edge brush versus spraying directly on the hair come on give me come on see my lighting getting crazy but this is a vibe look come on i love it here i love it here i hope you love it here too look at my giving faith at this point i'm apologetic with it okay okay let me spray the brush and then i'm gonna lay her down she said she thinks she had too much merlot oh let me get a little bit more because i don't you know i like a certain kind of look okay let me get that pink that looks so good about to buy yep bottle bottles and practice yup go get you i told you guys if you really want to practice and you don't want to deal with all this hair sensational tarina that's one of the sexiest wigs you can go have you a good time in that wave okay listen to me if it's about shoulder length it's a cute layered feathered bomb okay i had a great summer so you know what i was saying last 20-20 minutes when i wouldn't was it 20 was it 20 20 i was 25 no 2020 that was a good week oh let's get into it a little bit of left hand now this is this is what i would call body weight it's so long i would definitely cut this this is why i like to get longer wigs because as the weeks go by you can just trim it so you can end up with a cute shoulder length bob after like two to three weeks so my sis looks impeccable let me show you she must be acting up in front of company let me get you together let me get you right okay right there let me pour forward and you see do you middle part or side part little part or a side part let me know let me see middle part or side part what are we going to do um because see when that start coming like that that's you know what i'm saying she's going you i'ma get her together she's you know i love the side part you know i love the side part so that i'm gonna do that anyways that's how i am but i just want to see and show you guys you have options okay you have options you got options oh did you see it because i let me pull it back let me put it back you can see i gave i gave you life on this side so i took you and i'm gonna push her i'm gonna push it just a little bit see she want to act out man let me get so i see the vision i see the vision most definitely but this is a great wig i would and you can go in and cut her that's what i would do i would just cut her once you figure out what side you want her to be on but this is everything this is for the girls oh let me put so y'all can really see because she's really up she's she's getting okay but that's why i sometimes it's better to just not even do a part because oh did you oh i love it this is this the money shot right here if you were if you were unsure this is it and if you really like this let me tell you a little spread just a little bit move it because see i like how this is sitting and i don't want to mess it up okay so what i would do real careful i'm gonna take my double prong clips and place it you see what i did because see this is it's gonna set like this that's what i want a little bit of the hard head spray lift it up and then put the prongs in yes it might look crazy but this is what you want very very beautiful this is
