How To Customize Your Lace Closure | Bleaching The Knots & Plucking The Hairline! (For Beginners)

Hey guys, so today's video is on bleaching the knots of your closure or frontal, so we're going to go straight into it and I'm using the BW Clairol bleaching powder and a 20 volume Clairol developer.. It doesn't really matter which volume you use. If you use like volume ten, then you'll have to leave it on a little longer and if you use volume thirty, you have to leave it on shorter and just keep on checking it. So I just put a little bit of the powder and a little bit of developer and just mix it together, I'm only using a little bit because it's just a closure and not a frontal. So here you see that the consistency is kind of like thick and it was actually a little bit in there like too little bit. So I mixed a little bit more and I put a little bit more developer because I wanted it to be a little more pasty, not like runny, but also not too thick. So now you can see that it's more of like a paste, And here is what it looked like. First, you can see some of the black little dots and now I'm just going to kind of dab the mix onto the lace. So I'm not like rubbing it on there. I like brushing it on with the brush, I'm just dabbing it down, and I'm also not really trying to dab it down too hard to go all the way through it and that's another reason why it shouldn't be too runny, because it'll literally go through the holes Onto your hair and it'll be orange, and I see that all the time. So I'm just making sure to cover all the sides and make sure that it's completely coated and then I'm just going to put it in some foil so that it can just do what it do. Then I waited 25 minutes and then I washed it on out.. I used some random shampoo that I use in my last video, but there's no, like particular shampoo. I think it's best to use a neutralizing shampoo though, because you're using chemicals, but I don't really think it's necessary. I don't really use it, but yes, I'm just scrubbing out the lace just to make sure that all the chemicals come out of the lace. Before I put it on my head and then I just proceed to wash the actual hair a little bit and put my fingers through it, so that I can catch all of the little bleach thingies that's left over.. Now you can see that the scalp area is looking really scalpy.. You can see that went up with my finger underneath it looks like a real head of hair. Now I'm using the Adore honey, brown, tint or dye, and basically going to tint the lace, a darker color, because I'm African-American, so you don't want it to look too like chicken scratchy or like you, don't want it to look like chicken scratching. I guess so. I'M just gon na soak it in the little tint I put a little bit of the dye and then some water. If you want to put more water, that it'll be lighter like if your lighter skin, if you're darker less water - And this is what it came out to look like. I think that looks pretty realistic. Now we're gon na move on to plucking the frontal using a tweezer and the little razor thing to cut the baby hairs. So what I did was I took a little little part of the front like very small and skinny, And then I just began to pluck. I let those hands go in the front, because the hairs in the front are already very thin, so I parted the front a little bit and started from the next layer of hair and basically there's no way to really tell you what I'm doing. I'M kind of literally just pulling hair out wherever, but just try not to be so heavy-handed in one area, because you can give yourself like bald spots in the closure, but just like move around with it and I just go along the whole hairline. And then I just keep on combing out and I just keep doing that over and over. I comb the hair out and then I part it again and then I started plucking in the opposite direction. Just so, I can better see how a little bit of hair is in the front. If that makes sense, Then I began to part little out the whole middle section. I did that because it was looking like too full, like I don't think people's hair is that full in the front.. Well, I guess some people. It is like that, but I prefer it to be a little less hair because it looks kind of bulky to me. So I just got a parting down the middle, like throughout the whole closure and just plucking, randomly no specific area, just not again not focusing too much and just like going wild on one area, because I want to avoic bald spots. So you might want to use a good tweezer for this, because if it's like a dull tweezer, you might be here for a very, very long time.. This is very tedious and it takes a long time anyway, but it's better with a good tweezer.. Now I'm going back to the front again and taking out a tiny bit of hair, literally a tiny bit With those hairs, I'm going to make some baby hairs. So I'm going to take the razor and cut in a diagonal, and you may want to skip this step if you don't lay like baby hairs, but I think that baby hairs are useful to basically cover up that line. That shows a difference of your skin and the lace, so baby hairs kind of cover that up - and I don't know it to me - it looks kind of natural. So now I'm wetting it just to see what it will look like when it lays - And I see that some of the hairs a little too long. So I went back and cut a little bit more And of course I went back to plucking because I felt like it was still looking a little bit too full. So I took out some of the front and then I started plucking behind that, because the front is already very thin, So this was the amount of hair. It doesn't look like that much compared to how much I usually have only because it's just a closure - and I usually have a frontal. So this was the finished product after bleaching, the knots and tweezing the front. I think this looks extremely natural. I parted it just so you can get a better look at what the whole scalp is looking like.
