So you guys get notifications of when i drop my videos and yeah like i said it's good for the algorithm and your edges. So if you guys want to see how i achieve this look, thank you all right. So, first things. First, we are starting with a bucket of warm to hot water and i'll be using my shimmer light shampoo just to tone our hair. Like i said this hair is from me. I have um. This is a self-made wig, so i have a 10 inch and a 14 inch, the 10 at the bottom, the 14, at top with a 14 inch lace closure you guys and right now, i'm going to go ahead and mix up the mixture and make sure that There is no um shampoo flying away and then i'm going to go ahead and dip the hair, and you want to make sure you're just toning, the hair and getting rid of all the brassiness, because we are doing lavender and what you guys don't know and the Trick about this is you have to do this when it comes to lavender? If you want that true lavender color, because the lavender color has like almost like the same components as the purple shampoo and it will not take or won't take well, if you don't tone the hair to a platinum color, because lavender is technically a platinum type of Color, so it's a little science right there for you guys, just in case you guys know, so you cannot skip this step at all. If you want the lavender that i got okay, all right now, going in with a new bucket of water, i'm going to go ahead and use my adored lavender, and i only used one bottle and again i'm just going to go ahead and mix that up and As you guys can see, it's almost the same exact color as the purple shampoo. So please, please, please tone your hair to get all the yellowness out, so you could, you know, get the correct, color and right now, i'm just dipping the hair and dipping the hair. I'M going to dip the hair until i get my desired color. I did add a little bit of my adore cotton candy, just like a squeeze a little bit, because i kind of wanted to have a little bit of pink hues in it. Just a wee bit. You know so i went ahead and did that and um yeah, i'm just gon na go ahead and keep on dipping it until i get my desired color. Now, after this was done, i went ahead and just rinsed it out and then we're gon na go into the highlights and like you can do the highlights wet and i left the hair damp. So i could do my highlights now on to the highlights you guys. We are using four colors so right now, what i'm going to go ahead and use is my kiss temptation, color in the color blue moonlight and i'm going to mix that with my ogx coconut um conditioner. You want to make sure that you have a white conditioner, because i kind of want a pastely color and that color was a little bit too deep for me, so i went ahead and just mixed it with conditioner just to brighten it up also too. This also helps condition your hair, because when i washed my hair out, it was so soft chef's kiss you guys chefs kiss so the next color i'm going to go ahead and use is neon pink from adore. I'M going to go ahead and mix that in with the white conditioner again just to lighten up the color brighten it up. You know next color i'll be using. Is my adora purple rage and i'm going to go ahead and mix that in with that white conditioner again and the white conditioner, like i said, is just to brighten up the color, make it a little bit more on the pastel side, because these colors are deep. Colors and the last color i'm going to be using is lavender from adore and i'm going to mix it in with my conditioner all right now on to the coloring. So when you're coloring this, you guys we're doing very chunky highlights this was probably the easiest highlights. I'Ve ever done in my life, so i'm going to go ahead and start off with the pink the neon pink and you want to make sure when you're doing these colors that no color or no same color overlap each other. So i'm taking big chunky um. You know sections of the hair and you know i'm just using different colors, and then you know from the tracks. Above it, you want to make sure that there's no color, that is the same overlapping right on top of each other, because it defeats the whole purpose of the highlights and having dimension. If everything is in one line that looks kind of crazy, you know. So what i do is i just intertwine between each color and stuff, making sure that you know um pretty much like there's no color. That is overlapping. So, like you kind of have to just watch and make sure that you're um not overlapping any colors, the colors could definitely be diagonal from each other, but not directly on top of each other. So that's the goal that we're going for you guys. So you know i started off with the pink going into the blue, we're gon na go into the purple and then last but not least, into the lavender, and this is our halfway progress as you guys can see we're looking pretty good y'all and you know we're Going to go ahead and do the same thing all the way up until you reach the closure piece, you just want to make sure that there are no colors overlapping each other. It'S pretty repetitive, you guys, but you guys get the gist. I hope you guys get the just and i'm explaining it correctly and well, for you guys to understand what i am talking about and when it also comes to um blending. You want to make sure that you're using your brush in a vertical motion when you're going towards like the root like i'm doing right now, just so that you don't have a line of demarcation. Another thing that helps with lines of demarcation is using your index and your middle finger and just going in between and rubbing it in between the colors. Like i'm doing right now, you guys that helps diffuse the color seamlessly. I promise you guys. You will not be disappointed. That is a whole trick for you guys, if you guys struggle with having you know just lines of demarcation or like your colors, not blending in seamlessly. So and overall, these are the final results. You guys, you guys, are seeing the chunkiness you're, seeing the different color variations going on we're looking good, so i just went ahead and rinsed out the hair and i went ahead and blow-dried it, and this is how we are looking like this. It is giving picasso it's giving van gogh, you know, but right now we're going to go ahead and use our caracara wax stick and we're going to prep our hair to make it flat as possible. So i went ahead and did that around the hair or around the closure piece, and then i'm going to go ahead and use my andis hot comb in the medium setting. Again when it comes to colored hair, you do not want to have on the highest setting unless you want to fade out your color. If that's what you're intending to do it, then by all means set it up to the highest, you know, but i went ahead and used it on the medium heat. So i went. I went ahead and used it on 10 and right now, i'm just blending out my hair and what i did to make the closure even flatter is go in sections use, my cara care wax stick and then hot comb in those sections of the closure, so that It is nice and flat, as you guys can see, i'm doing that right now, putting that character wax stick on there and then using my hot comb. That'S how you get real flat. You know closure you're, welcome you guys, you're welcome and then i'm just going to go ahead and repeat the same thing on the same side, all right. You guys now on to flat ironing i'm going to go ahead and use my ogx moroccan argan oil and i'm going to use that as my heat protectant. Just so we can have this hair, nice and flat, and then i'm going to go ahead and use my con air infiniti pro titanium flat iron. You get this at ulta and it's only sold at ulta. I believe um for about, like i think, like 40 or 45 dollars, it's a really good flat iron. You guys so i'm just going to go ahead and you know: do the the chase method with my comb and the flat iron we're just gon na go ahead and flat iron, this bad boy, and when i tell y'all this hair is so soft. I'M not saying it because it's my hair, i mean, of course i'm gon na say because it's my hair, but it is super soft, literally only one pass and the hair was flat, and i feel like that. More so goes because of the conditioner that we had inside the hair, and we know we left it in there by the way, i didn't say what how long i left it in for i left the color in for about an hour. I left it in for an hour and then rinsed it out. I'M so sorry, you guys, i almost forgot but yeah you guys, as you guys can see, it's looking very laid very slate. It'S giving it's giving you guys and also too you also see that the colors are fading in super duper nicely. There are no lines of demarcation at all and that's the overall look that you want all right now that that's done, i'm going to go ahead and put the wig on my head and then cut where i want to cut. Usually, i will just go in with the mannequin head, but i don't trust myself that much because i played myself the last time doing a bob and it came out shorter than i want than what i wanted, and i didn't want this bob to be an extremely Short bob, so i went ahead and cut both sides of where i wanted to be at and then i'm going to go ahead and use my wall senior clippers and i'm going to go ahead and start clipping. My life away, y'all and i went ahead and started on the sides and i started back. Then i went to the side. I was kind of all over the place you guys because i'm still not the best at cutting hair on a mannequin. I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's like, i'm not placing the wig rightly on the on the mannequin, or maybe it's the mannequin head that i'm using, i don't know but yeah, i'm still, i'm still working on it. I'M still working on it. Y'All all right now that the first step is done as you guys can see. The color is definitely coming together now that we have cut it, but now i'm going to go ahead and bend my mannequin head just to catch any parts that i missed, and this would definitely this is definitely a game changer y'all. This takes your bob from zero to a thousand. You want to make sure you catch any parts that are uneven and just match it up with where you cut it at, and i promise you, your bob finna be bobbin all right now on to the install. So i went ahead and put on this wig cap and i'm going to go ahead and tint that section of where i'm putting that wig on my wig cap, as well as the lace and i'm just cleaning my forehead with 91 alcohol. Just so we're cleaning off any of the foundation, and now i'm going to go in and use. My erica j hold me down adhesive, and i only use one layer because the wig was already tight and um yeah. You guys i plan on taking it off like within the next couple hours, so i just went ahead and just took it off. Oh, i just went ahead and did one layer and i'm just doing one layer and i'm going to go ahead and place the wig right there once that layer is completely dry. Once i place it, i'm going to go ahead and use my eyebrow razor and cut my lace off and i'm going to go ahead and cut it off in a jagged motion. Now, when it comes to doing your clothes, just like a frontal, you want to make sure that those little um perforated sides on your closure. You cut them off completely or to the point where, like it's not visible, i didn't show me cutting it off, but, as you guys can see that little piece right there at the edge of the um closure is showing. So you want to make sure you cut it off and cut into the hair, so it doesn't show. But now i'm just i'm going to go ahead and use my glue to just um get any places that i had missed all right and now on to the meltdown. We'Re going to go ahead and use our gas to be free spray. I'M going to spray that all around my hairline right now the lace is looking a bit dark, but it's okay. Once i put on my makeup and everything it's going to look gooshy, okay and i went ahead and used some spritz too, because i've seen somebody use spritz as well. So i just kind of wanted to mix concoctions and see and to see what it was about. You know all right y'all. Now i'm going to go ahead and put my elastic band on and i'm gon na, let that sit for about 15 minutes. Now that the 15 minutes is up. I went ahead and took it off and, as you guys can see, it is looking later it's looking later, but i went ahead and did my makeup off camera and i'm just going to go ahead and define that part that i have and we are pretty much Done you guys, this is pretty much the you know the finishing results.
