Tips for Making Synthetic Wigs:
- Always add concealer to part to blend with natural skin tone
- If part is undetectable use tweezers to pluck away hairs
- If hair is too shiny use baby powder or dry shampoo to remove shine
- Soaking hair in vinegar also will remove shine
- Make sure your wig is heat safe, not all are.
- Brush gently and frequentaly -- hair does tangle easily but also brushes out easily as well
The End.
Hey guys welcome back today, I'm gon na show you guys how I put on my pink wig that so many of you had questions about. So many of you didn't believe that it was a wig. It was definitely a wig um, so yeah. I just wanted to show you guys how I put my wigs on how I make them look a little more natural, like I honestly, don't see the difference in wearing a wig and wearing hair extensions like It's. The same thing, in my opinion, a lot of people, though It's not their same opinion, But I see a lot more people wearing wigs and I'm excited about it, and so many of you were gassed up about this pink Wig that you were like show us what You did so I was like yay We're excited about the wigs. I have a very extensive, wig collection.. Maybe one day I will show you guys um. I love wigs. I think they're great for protective styling like if you've got damaged hair, And you just don't want to do a lot to your hair. You just want to kind of give it a break. I think wigs are great for that, because you're just kind of hiding your hair underneath, but you still look cute on the outside. So a lot of my wigs are fun. Funky colors, because I mean I do have natural wigs too, But a lot of them are fun, funky colors, because me personally, I wish I could have different hair every single day length, Texture, color everything. So wigs to me are super fun., They're expressive and again They are just a safe way to do your hair, especially if you have damaged hair. So just keep that in mind. My hair is just still up for when i was just doing my makeup because I was like I'm just gon na throw a wig on anyways, so I'm not gon na. Do my hair for this video um. But it is a little bit harder for me to put in my wigs, because I have a lot of hair currently Because they- I have tape and extensions, but I'm getting my tape. Ins taken out on Saturday today is Wednesday. Um So it'll be a lot easier for me to Put my wigs on and not have to worry about, like Really getting my hair down to my head cuz, I can't bring my hair down to my head because I have tape and extensions. So let me show you guys the wig, just in case you didn't believe me.. This is her right here I got her from a local beauty supply Store. If you live in the same heat, clearwater area, the beauty supply store that I go to for all my wigs. It'S called Sunny's beauty, mart., It's off central and it is wig Heaven they have so many wigs and you can try the wigs on for like a dollar, you can try out. I think, like five wigs for a dollar, they got ta make their money too. So she is a synthetic wig which means she's not made out of human hair, But she is a heat-safe synthetic wig, Which means you can straighten it. You can curl it. The curls that you see in Here are already from the wig. It was a lot shorter when I got it because the curls were a lot tighter, But I just consistently brushed the wig so that it gives it a little bit more length. [ um ], most of my colored wigs, do have roots on them so that I am able to blend my natural hair in with the Wigs. Just keep that in mind if you want to get like a funky color Try to get one that has a little bit of root action happening. She is a lace front wig, but I've already cut the lace off, obviously because I've worn her and I've added a little bit of a Concealer to her scalp um. I used powder. I'M gon na show you what I do today, just in case you've never put on a wig or you've, never seen somebody put on a wig themselves. Uh, I did scour the internet. This is not a sponsored video. I just have to say that out first, because I see you guys in the comments, But I did Scour the internet And I found what I think is this exact wig. When I buy my wigs from the beauty mart, they just kind of make up A price on the spot. There'S no tags on them, There's no nothing! So they can charge you whatever they want. So I think I found this exact wig and I will link it in the bottom bar for you guys And it's only like 35 bucks, 30 or 40 bucks. If it's not this exact wig, it's pretty damn close flow whoo.. Why? Why why [? Oh ]? Okay, so, like I said, I have a lot of hair to put up, so I just kind of try to get my hair as Tight down to my head as I possibly can. I'M going to part my hair for us because we're going to put the wig on First, just as it is so I'm going to just part. My hair like pretty much how the wig is. Parted is a side part on the wig, so that works and then I'm just going to Leave some hair out. Like the perimeter of my hair.. I don't need a lot just a little bit. I like to wear them like half-up half-down um. So I need a little bit of my own hair so that it looks more natural. You can do this after you put your wig cap on, but I just do it beforehand. I'M just going to get my hair in to the nape of my neck, [ and ]. Then we're gon na I'm going to tie it in a hair tie as low as I can on my neck, all right and then I'm just going to split it into two and then take this piece and Bobby. Pin it down with this pin this down. Okay! So now that we have our hair Just like as flat as I'm going to get it for the time being, you can put on your wig cap. So I just start mine rate where my hair leave at is [. Alright ], like where that little part is, is where my wig cap goes, I'm having flashbacks to my purple, alien laughs, alright, so once [ more ] We cap is on, we can put on our wig. So I'm just going to take her off my styrofoam head. I get these from Amazon They're like Two dollars. I buy them in bulk.. I usually buy them by like six and [ for ] six.. It'S like, I don't know like less [ than ] ten bucks If you've never put on a wig before or you don't really know about wigs How you have how you secure the wig to your head. Is you clip it in like you slide these clips into your head, So this week has three: it has one at the nape of the neck and then it has two here at the side. You can see them right there. What you want to make [ sure ], when you put your wig on, is you're paying [ attention ] to where your clips are. So when you go To like slide it in you can just reach under and grab it and put it in place. [! That'S ] a mistake that I've kind of Learned through putting on Wigs, I Would forget where they were and then I try to grab them and I'd be sliding all over the place. So just keep in mind where your clips are so that it's easier for you and then you also have these little straps here in the back that you [ can ] use to adjust it to make your wig smaller or Larger for your head.. Thank you Put it like in a bucket like this like upside down, And then I put my head into it that vic sent to see you guys. So this is just the wig sitting on my head. It'S not clipped into place yet so I'm just going to start adjusting it all right, So I'm just going to clip this into place slide it into place. So I have my clip here in my hand, so push that in There other one is here: Okay, okay, [ now ] gon na be a bit of brush again; okay, So here's our [ wade, ], just on.! I haven't done anything special to it. I'Ve just basically put it on and I think it looks pretty natural Already just because this is the front of my natural [ hairline ] [, so ], it's just kind of disguising the wig. But if you don't want to leave your natural hair out, You don't have to you: can [ definitely ] wear the wig all the way to the front's of your parts [. I ] just think that this way it kind of gives it more of an illusion of actually being your hair. So what I'm going to do now? Is I'm just going it to lighten up this part? As you can see, my part is pretty White and the wig just it's it's just not So what I like to do is I like to use actually powder instead of a cream concealer, But you can use either or you just want to make sure that you're Using something. [, that's ], pretty close to your natural skin tone. So I'm using my face powder that I usually use to set my face with and I'm just using a flat brush, Which kind of just fits perfectly in to here. So I'm just going to go over that line, then It's just all the way. Back., I'm also going to put the powder on my natural scalp So that it all just blends with each other. Just rub your finger over it. So It looks a little more natural. You can't go in and pluck hairs out, but no I've done that before and I just think that this is easier. Okay, So I'm going to be pulling the hair up on this wig. But if I were to wear this wig down, I just wanted to show you guys, so you can kind of see like a little bald spot here, because that's exactly where the wig cap and the wig start. So it's Kind of pulling my hair. So what I do, if I wear the wig down, is I just take some brow powder Like a darker color, and I come in here. [ and ] I'll just fill this in with powder, So you're not able to see where your hair starts and the wig starts and again. That is why I like my colorful wigs to Have a little bit of root with them., So it just it's a lot. It'S a [ lot, ] easier to blend your hair with [ it ]. So I'm just going to pull my hair That I left out We're just going to pull that back with the wig hair. You want to be careful because you [, don't ] want to pull it up. So much that you see like how the wig is attached, and then this just gives the illusion that the [ hair ] is [, just ] all coming out of your own head and just keep messing with it.. You may have to Pull it up and pull [ it ] down a few times until you get it to where you want, And it's not like you know, major [ traction ] or anything like that. [ and ] then you're just going to want to secure it with a hair tie, Give it a good tug and then just brush this out. [ too ] like I said it gets knotty easily. So you can just keep messing with it. You can hit it with a curling iron if you want it to kind of change its [ shape ], I just [, usually ] just mess with the hair because it is synthetic hair. So when you mess with a dough, just it Usually just ends up doing what you want. If you just keep messing with it enough, You can also take this hairstyle and you can wear it Like in a topknot. So all you have to do is just basically do it. How you usually do it It's just easier if you give this hair a little bit of a twist, So it's not just super flat and then you can just wrap it around, But you can also wear [ it ] in the top nap, if you don't want to like where the waterfall spouts or whatever, but I Like the waterfalls family and then my final step that [ I ] like to do. Is I just like to brush all my baby hairs down, So it doesn't look like so just like slappy in here, so I just take a toothbrush. I actually sell these from the w. When I go, I always ask for them to give me [ a ] toothbrush, because it's like the best baby hair toothbrush ever and I'm just gon na take a Little bit of some paste.. This is actually Jeremy's paste, Don't tell them, and then I'm just going it to get these baby hairs to Lay a little flatter On my head. I see people like laser their baby hairs off And I'm just [ like ]. Why would anybody get rid of their baby hairs like I? No? No? No, So that is how I do it. That'S how I applied my wigs to make them look just a little bit more natural [. I ] mean in my opinion, but if anybody was like, are you wearing away I'd be like yes.? Yes, I am, and you want to know where I got it., Don't you so I hope you guys enjoy it. I hope you try out just trying on wigs. Remember, with anything practice makes perfect, I mean I really [ want ] [ to ], make my own wigs now.. I just think wigs are too fun To not wear all the time so again.. I hope you guys [ enjoyed ]. I hope you try it out. If you do tag me on Instagram, send to me on Twitter. [, I ] want to see you and Check the bottom bar again. If you guys want to get this wig again [, I ] don't know if it is the exact wig, but I feel like it. [ is ] super duper similar to it. So again, I hope you guys enjoy it. [. I ] don't have anything else to tell you guys, except I love you. Thank you so much for watching and until next time I will talk to you guys. Soon., Bye,

satine990: To all the ladies wanting to wear wigs but are too afraid of what others will say: do it anyway! Of course, the people who know you are going to know it's a wig but if they really love you, they won't care! They'll just tell you how fierce you look and how you're slaying with that wig. And if anyone says anything mean, remember that's a reflection on them, not you. Happy people don't tear others down.

Alicia Clarke: Oh my gosh! I'm so glad that you like wearing wigs. A few months ago I had a major bleaching mishap with my hair and it fell out. I went to the salon so I could try to get it fixed, but most of my hair had to be cut off because the damage was so bad that hair was just falling out in chunks all over the place. So I bought a few wigs off of Amazon. The only thing is that I have to really secure my wigs down and glue the lace front down to my hair line. It's super hard to get a wig to look natural especially when you don't have any hair underneath. My hair is slowly growing back, but I look like Joe Dirt lol.
lysette Flores: Thanks for this video. I've been contemplating on purchasing a wig. Still deciding on which color. A couple of my friends wore them out and I fell in love. I'm on a mission to find one.

I cut my hair all off into a pixie a month or two ago and even though I've had it cut into that style before I'm just depressed and entering a horrible awkward growing out phase since I want my long hair back so I ordered my first wig last night and trying to research as much as I can so I don't look like a hot mess. Lord help me on this journey!
VidaErikita: "Yes, yes I am and you want to know where I got it. Don't you?" LOLLL. That wig looks so good on you. I definitely want to get into the wig trend.
Gaylynn Guerrero: such a great video, thank you for showing us Nicole! I should be getting my pink wig by tomorrow, can't wait! please show us your whole wig collection.
rainbowdust919: Thank you! This was so informative. I've always wondered how to pull off wigs and make them look natural.

Can you show how you make your solid fun colored wigs look more natural? Such an awesome video!
3 Point Landing: Thank you so much! I didn't want to bleach my hair, but was struggling to make my synthetic wig look natural. Your video really helped me out!
