Aligrace Kinky Curly Wig Install (Ghost Bond Adhesive)

Hey dolls, so i am back so i'm coming to show you guys how i got this beautiful hair like let me back up because y'all got to get into this like this hair is so freaking pretty the install came out so bomb. So if y'all want to know where it's from and see how i did it then keep on watching okay doll, so this hair is from ali grace. This is the bag that the hair came in really cute satin bag. The hair was in like a plastic bag as well, and then i got some goodies inside. So let me show you what i got and i got a wig cap. I did use a wig cap, but i just didn't use the one that came with it. Also. They sent a little mini set of makeup, brushes and a pair of lashes and then also this hair clip which is really cute. I will probably actually use this for my baby because it looks like a bow, but it's like pearl so and it's actually like a clip. So that's so cute um and then we have a little pamphlet in here. That tells you how to care for your wig and all of that dress. Okay. So that's what came inside of the packaging? This is a 4x4 lace front, wig, it's 26 inches in the natural color and it just says: curly, 180 percent density and the lace color is, i guess it's medium brown, but it came out more like a transparent, ish kind of frontal, but you will see how I kind of customized it and everything like that, so this came out so cute like it's definitely given frontal vibes um, although it stops here, but you know, your hair is down anyway. So you're not gon na see those other baby hairs unless you push it back, but it's only a four by four and it is laying like it's definitely giving a vibe, and i love this curl pattern like it's so freaking pretty. So yes - and i actually did use adhesive today like look at this look at this scalp like period, so i actually did use ghost bun excel with extra moisture control. I'Ve had this for forever. I'Ve only used it like on myself once and then i also did a few installs on my mom a few times and used it. I could do the install on her really easy, but every time it would come to me doing it on myself. It just would not work um and the one time it did leave a white cast. So after that i was like no i'm never using this again, but i find that with using hairspray gel anything now i have to use a scalp protector because my skin is just that sensitive. So this is the walker tape scalp protector um, and this has lasted really really well, like i've been using it every single time, lately um but yeah. It prevents your it prevents irritation from tape and adhesive. So it's going to help your skin, like it creates a barrier in between um, and this doesn't break me out or anything like that. So yeah, if y'all want to see how i got this blonde install then keep on watching okay y'all. So this is how the wig looks out of the pack. I did already bleach the knots and shampoo the wig, and everything like that. So it does have two combs one on each side in the front and then you also have an adjustable strap in the wig. As well as a comb in the back, which is going to keep your wig in place, so i went ahead and put a wig cap on and then i'm just popping the wig on. I was seeing if i needed to do the ball cap method or if it would look. Okay like parting. It and just have the wig cap be kind of pushed back, but i didn't like how it looks so i am going to do like the ball cap method in a minute, but i'm just moving the hair out of the way and kind of flicking it back By using my hot comb just to make sure that the hair will be out of the way when we get to it so now, i'm gon na adjust my wig cap and go ahead and pull it down, and then i'm gon na go in and use. My bold hold liquid gold, and this is what i'm gon na use to stick the cap down. This is basically like a gel kind of products, but in my opinion, it kind of feels like a gel in a hairspray mixture in one it is kind of like a liquidy gel kind of consistency, but it does hold and work really well. I have used this in a few other videos, but i haven't used it a whole lot, so i wanted to start using it a little bit more because it is a huge bottle, so it will last quite a while. So after i put it on, i do blow dry and make sure that it's nice and dry before i go in and start removing the excess cap. And then i'm just going to cut that off. Using my little small scissors and also having the wig on already allows you to kind of flip the um closure area back. So you know exactly where you want to place your glue, gel or spray or whatever. It is that you're using to lay your cap, because it just doesn't make sense to do a full ball cap because you only have a closure so having the closure already kind of on my head and pushed back, i knew exactly where to go ahead and gel Down that cap is so i'm just going to remove all of the excess. At this point you can go ahead and color correct with makeup, but i didn't um and it still turned out pretty nice um, probably the next time. I definitely would use some makeup or something - and i also should have definitely tinted my lace, but i didn't think to do it at the time like i thought the lace was going to blend in really good, but you will see how i correct that later. So i'm just going to go in and cut off those little extra tabs on the side because, like i always say you don't need these um, but i feel like it makes the lace more secure, like you know, in transit and bleaching, and everything like that, like I just leave it on for all of that, but then i do cut it off whenever it's time to apply. So i am taking the ghost bun adhesive and y'all pray for me because i have not removed this wig, yet i'm still wearing it. I'M hoping that my hairline looks completely fine and it's not all white looking like y'all know how you get that white kind of cast on your forehead from wearing um adhesive. I hope that it does not do that this time. But yes, so i'm just applying a bit of it and then i'm taking a small popsicle stick and smoothing it out. I kind of did put a little bit too much because, as you will see later on, like it's going to dry clear, but then i'm still going to have some spots that are white, so definitely try to apply it more thinly. Whatever kind of adhesive you're using or if you just want to go in with a gel or hairspray like i normally do, you can do that as well. I kind of just wanted something that would last a little bit longer, so i didn't have to do my hair so many times during the week and i could kind of just keep the same, install and just wet it down and go so. Yes, i still actually have this install in so after i blow dry down and let it get pretty clear, i'm going to go in and do a second layer. I only did two layers because i wanted it to last, but i didn't want it to last forever. So yeah i'm just going to smooth that out with the popsicle stick once again, nice and smooth, and whenever i'm using the blow jar, i am using a cool setting. Whenever i do my wigs now, i have only been using a cool setting on my blow dryer. Every single time i used to use like a warm medium kind of heat, sometimes, but i have found that that was probably the reason that i was getting some issues with my skin underneath my lace. So after i have blow dried it a bit, i didn't want it to get super clear because i feel like it wasn't going to stick so i did leave it where it was a little white which will go away eventually after it dries completely. But i'm just going to go ahead and position the wig and kind of stick, the lace down to the adhesive and just position the wig. How i wanted to make sure that everything is nice and laid. And then i also take my rat tail comb. But i'm using the comb part of it to kind of comb through make sure that the hair is combed back and it's not like sticking down in the lace and also pressing the lace down into that adhesive as well. If you can see some spots, there was extra glue. I just went in with some alcohol on a small little q-tip and just remove this. So now you can kind of see the parting of the wig and everything and the glue is still drying down. So now i'm just going to go ahead and tie it down and let it dry a little bit more before i go in and remove the excess lace that is attached to the wig. Okay, so just tie down for a little while go, do something or sit there and blow dry for a minute, and then i'm gon na come back, take the scarf off and then start cutting off the extra lace. I did use a eyebrow razor to do so because you do get more of a jagged kind of uneven cut, but sometimes you can't get super super close like you can, but you can't like you, want to be real careful, so you don't cut your skin. So i just used this at first and i did cut off a little bit of the hair which isn't really that big of a deal. But i am going to also use my scissors to just go back in and clean it up, because there is still quite a bit of extra lace hanging over. If you can see, i got up really close, so y'all could really really see. So i'm just going to trim off all of that excess lace and also another thing um is, i didn't get all the way to the edge, so i do still need to lay down the very edge, but you can see how the lace color looks. Definitely should have tinted it like you can already see like whenever i'm spraying the tint on it would have matched my skin so much better and blended in a lot easier. Had i tinted it first, but i didn't think that the lace was going to need tinting. So i kind of just went in and sprayed my lace tint on after i already applied it, which really isn't the best. You know skill or what skill? No, this isn't the best move to make after you have already applied your wig, so i just went ahead and did that and then the edges were not completely down, so i did go back in and grab a little bit of adhesive and just use it on The edge of my rat tail comb to kind of place it where i don't have so much glue and it's not going to be like pushed over the edge and stuff like that. So, as you can see it's starting to melt into place and into my skin even better, because i have taken the adhesive further down, so the color still isn't perfect. But you know we don't color correct it and get it to blend in really good, and everything like that, so you can already see this uh cap underneath is definitely making the parts pop out, but we will fix that as well. So y'all know i like to do my method where i use the hot comb and some wax to kind of train the hair and lay it in the part of how i want it to lay so i start off with the sides, especially since it's a closure. It can be kind of more bulky in the areas where the closure and the tracks start to meet. So i just go section by section. I kind of spread through this part, because it's very repetitive, just adding the wax and using the hot comb to just get everything to lay nice and flat and give it a nice press out. So you can see once again, i'm doing it on the other side and then taking it all the way to the top. I probably did like three or four sections on each side um just because if you do it section by section versus just starting at the part area where you already have the hair parted, it is going to lay a lot better. If you do the sections. So i am going in and parting down my baby hairs as you can see, i'm taking some of the hair back up, because i don't want the baby hairs to be too thick so start off by parting them off nice and thin, because even though it only Looks like a little bit of hair is being parted down. It'S going to be enough for your baby hair, so i try to thin them out and then i go in and cut them down, and sometimes it still will be kind of thick. You may just have to go in and pluck it a bit, so i'm just going to trim it down using the eyebrow razor and then i'm just using some of my wrapping mousse to start placing the baby hairs. How i want them. Obviously, it's not going to stay exactly like this. This is just kind of like my rough giraffe to see what kind of baby hairs i really want to do and what is giving and if i need to go in and trim or anything like that. So i did definitely go in and trim some more down and i wanted to do like the little baby hair swoop in the middle and then like the two on the sides. I haven't did this in quite a while. So after i got my baby hairs laid how i wanted them. I went in and wet my hair down at the sink and then i'm gon na come back and spray it with some conditioner and then brush through, so that my curls can pop and be nice and juicy. So you can see here, i'm just combing through the hair i am using my denman brush to do so and you can spray your hair down with the water bottle. But in my opinion it just takes longer. If i'm doing like a quick, refresh kind of mist, then i will do that, but most of the time i prefer to just go to the sink and kind of wet it that way, because it's just so much faster, although it does take a little bit longer To dry, but i know that my curls are going to be nice and juicy and defined. So i am scrunching the hair up a bit because this is kind of like a looser kind of curl pattern and then i'm adding a little bit of water where needed, and then you can see once i remove my elastic band. Look at how those baby hairs are laid and the lace is laid like it is giving okay. So now i'm taking some concealer and just putting it in my parting area just to conceal any knots if they didn't bleach or whatever, and to really get it to pop out and also to get my part to pop out. Did i just say that i don't know y'all but yeah, so i'm just placing this down here and then for the hairline area, because there were some knots, they kind of weren't, really the best bleach. I'M just going to take some powder and pat this on eventually later i did go in with the powder that was a little bit darker, because this is my skin tone powder, but whenever i'm packing it on in this kind of motion, it kind of makes it Look lighter, if you will, i guess, because it's so much powder piled up on top of each other, but it will blend in nicely and it definitely gives like a scalp kind of appearance. So i just put some wrapping mousse on top of it and then i'm just patting it into place just to set all of the powders down and everything like that. So they don't give that ashy kind of look and then now you can see how it's looking. It'S definitely looking more scalp like it's not like a perfect match for my skin tone, but it's like a little bit lighter. So i liked it um but yeah. So i'm just gon na whip the hair down and just finish it off and then stay tuned for the outro to see how everything look together, it's bomb. I love this wig, okay, okay y'all. So this is the completed look of the hair. Let me stand up. This is how the hair falls on me. 26 inches. Okay. She is the perfect summer length not too long, not too short, like she's still giving you inches, but you know it's not over doing it and the scalp and the lace and the baby hairs. It'S just it's it for me, okay, that is pretty much it for this video. If you all have questions, leave them down below and don't forget to like comment and subscribe, bye, guys,
