How To Color Your Lace Wig

Okay, so how this is the question? How can I color a wig that has already been made, so I am assuming that the client has had it purchased from somewhere else, because, if you're doing it, you can color the hair prior to. But that's what we're going to go over right now is color in the hair. There are a few things that you need to understand with a piece that you did not make. You don't know where the hair comes from. So we don't know what this hair is going to do. I don't know where this hair came from. I don't know what this hair is going to do once I start processing it. So what I've decided to do in this particular video is also have a piece of hair. I do know where this came from, and I do know that this is virgin hair and that it has not been processed. This is actually a piece of volusia preemie hair. So we're gon na color both of them at the same time, because i want you to see what you'll get when you start working with color, you can get different results depending on where the hair was purchased from. So what we're going to be doing is a blogging technique. It'S not even a technique, but it's just getting this hair to blonde and you can, if it's true virgin hair, get it to blonde in one sitting depending on your product and depending on the hair. So the product that i always use for even my own hair is scruples blazing, and i use that when i'm going with - and this is what the developer looks like this is what the system looks like scruples. Blazing is a high lighting system. It is very safe and you never need anything higher than a 20 volume to get to where you're going. Even if you're this dark now, i will say that it takes especially with hair that we don't know where it came from or where it's been. We don't know what the end result is going to be, but if anything can get it done, it is scruples blazing. Now it is a toner infused, color system, meaning the toners are already in the color gel. These are called color. Gels is kind of liquefied and i've already mixed the solution, and it comes out and chunky which is not too chunky, but it's a really good consistency until we're just gon na start coloring. Now I am going to. Of course, you see I have on my smock and you always want to use gloves anytime you're handling color, if you are inexperienced with color, so as not to ruin your piece, I would highly suggest taking your piece to a professional if you don't have any experience With color, if you do you're good to go so I'm going to take my color brush. That has the metal end and I am going to foil a couple of pieces of this hair. I'M going to let it process and I'm also going to add some color to this, so you can see the differences that we get as well. Okay, so when you're foiling hair depending on the end result, you can either slice and that's just taking sections of the hair just like this or you can weave and that's picking up a section and weaving in and out and that's going to give you only a Little bit of hair to work with, and then this is what you would color it's going to depend on what you're going for, if you're going for a more uniform look so to speak or a heavier highlighting application, you would just go through and weave your sections. So you'd weave a section leave a section out weave a section leave a section out because we're doing this for instructional purposes, I'm going to go ahead and slice two sections, so we can see what the end result is going to be. So I'm going to take a nice little slice, you kind of want to get all the hair underneath out of your way, I'm going to take my slice use my foil slider. Just underneath the weave I mean the wig. Now you do not want to apply color or apply this highlighting system all the way to the top, because it's going to swell and then it's going to get all on the lace and you're gon na have a disaster. So I'm going to just apply color down here, working a little bit up to the top and I'm continuing to pull the color all the way down. If you're going for an ombre look, you can do it without the foil and just paint on the hair like using a biologic Niek now with, because the hair is longer than the foil. I'M just going to fold the hair up just like this and continue to paint the color onto the hair. You want to get a good saturation or a good application of color onto the hair, so you don't have any blotchy spots now what you're done you're going to take fold it in half, you can fold it in half again, if you want just like this and Then you're ready for your next section, so I take my clip clip it down. Take my section of hair clip it down. I'M gon na take my next slice, my foil and now this time I'm not gon na go all the way down with the color. Just for instructional purposes, I'm going to only color half of it just so you can see the difference now, like I said, I don't know where this hair came from. I ordered this piece for instruction, so I don't know what we're gon na get, but that's the beauty of being able to use these different products and being able to test things out. So I'm going to leave this hair out and I'm just gon na gon na fold just like I did a few minutes ago and I'm gon na fold it again and I'm gon na leave it here for processing now, because I'm only doing two I'll leave it. Just like this, and because of the lights is really really hot: it's going to process a lot faster than if it were if it were sitting at room temperature. So I'm just going to move this to the side and then I'm going to go and color the other piece of volusia remy hair. Now we're going to apply the same color to a piece of truly virgin indian remy hair to see what the result is going to be. So i want you to understand that you could use the same. Color apply to do two different types of hair from two different different companies and get different results. So that's what i'm showing you in this video if you're wanting to do, if you're wanting to do more of an ombre technique, I suggest turning your brush to the side and lightly brushing the product on the hair that way, it'll make it melt into the hair. Now, when you're doing wets that are dry, it is very important to get evil color throughout to pick up the weft and turn it around to get the other side. So I'm going to pick this up and you'll see that I have some dry spots in here that didn't get any product on them. That'S why you want to turn it around on the opposite side and apply the color again you, okay, so once the color is applied, I'm going to take two more pieces of the foil, I'm just going to cover it up and let it process since this, under Heat I'm going to let it process for about 20 minutes and then we'll come back and check it. Alright, so we're back with the two different things or two different pieces that are colored. Now remember this wig right here. I don't know where this hair came from. So I didn't know what this was going to do and again we're going for blonde colors now. The reason why you want to why we're going for blonde is because, when you lift hair up to blonde you can deposit whatever color you want, depending on how high the lift is, you may have to go back and do it again, but be careful with that, Because you could compromise the integrity of the hair, so let's check this, it has been approximately 22 to 26 minutes and we're going to check and see if it is it started to lift it doesn't look like it's done anything. It looks the same. I know that is not normal, because if hair is cuticle hair it should have lifted already. So let's check the volusia remy hair, and i know that is true. Cuticle hair - and here we go so we have some lift. It'S not quite as blond as i would like it, but this is a good starting point. So what i would do from this point and what i'm going to do is just rinse this out and what you could do is go back and lift it again or if you want to stay here, you could stay here and you could deposit a color on It and be completely done so let me go rinse these two pieces out and I'll be right back alright, so I've taken the foils out and I've rinsed it, and these two pieces that you see right here are the pieces that were colored with the exact same Color that I used on the volusia, remy, hair and you'll see that nothing happened. This is hair that was marketed. I remember when I bought this piece is virgin virgin indian remy hair that just had a relaxed texture, and this is the virgin indian remy from Volusia that had never been processed before, and this is what I got now. If I go back and do this again put the same solution on it again, I'll get an even higher lift the second time, but this just goes to show that the same color solution or the same mixing solution or two different types of hair gave different results.
