I Bought Back My Own Wig On Ebay And Slayed It

Hi everyone, James Mansell here bringing you yet another video. Oh, my gosh, you guys I'm so excited because, as you guys already know, I am a lover of all things: eBay, I'll go on eBay for just about anything for books, anything like wigs, old, wigs, new wigs and I spotted on eBay, someone reselling a wig from My own line James Mansfield Beauty. This was too good to pass up. I thought how much of a gag would be if I wouldn't bought back my own wig. Well, that's what happened today. I saw it list and I thought well why not When in Rome right, so I bought back this wig on eBay, here's the OG listing yes, so here we go here it is. It is this wig right here. Look at the bags that come with James Mansfield Beauty. Yes, it was advertised on the post comes in original bag with logo. Yes, these may be a collector's item someday when I'm long dead. This is the wig. This is our Acid Bath from James Mansfield Beauty. I'Ve had this wig for a while, like we've stocked and restocked it, but I've never actually like worn it worn it. So I think we should wear it. Let'S try it out we're gon na try it on all right. We are back. This is the wig on my head. This is the Acid Bath from Jane's Mansfield Beauty, and just so you know the only place you can buy. My wigs is at jamesbanshillbeauty.com. I do not resell on eBay or even sell on eBay at all, they're only available on my website, so just putting that out there in case you see a listing. It is not me now. This is the wig, I have to say. I do love the Acid Bath, I haven't had it back in a while, but I might bring it back because again, it is a fun. Wig like this is such a fun. Color. Okay, now I'm gon na take this off and we're going to transform this wig. Just for funsies, because I bought this wig back so now I have to make my money's worth so here we go so let's go and transform the S all right. Welcome back. We have the wig opened out of the head. Now, let's start transforming the acid baths. Ah, this wig is so fun now this is one of my 80s moldy kind of wigs styled after like Gem and the Holograms kind of tease like yes, I've never actually styled one out fully before so. This will be interesting. We are gon na be serving a full on like super villain from the 1980s in this. Now, how have you all been? Oh, my gosh, I feel like it's been forever since I've made a video, it's been like four days or maybe lower. I have to say I am so so so excited because I want to start doing a lot more stuff on my YouTube channel. Yes, I want to start trying out some new things, so I'm glad you guys are along for the ride with me, not to mention I also have to like do some standard tutorials that just to get them out there to help. You know fix my algorithm when it comes to like videos they recommended, especially with like hair styling videos. A lot of my really old ones have been getting recommended and not that they're bad. It'S just they're out of date, so I don't want people watching my old work. We feel like an actress when I say things like that: oh no, don't watch my old things only watch my new things, I'm like a lifestyle Guru! Oh, my God, lifestyle gurus remember when that was like a thing all the celebrities were doing back in the day like Angela Lansbury had one like. I think it was like positive moves or something, and it's where that Infamous meme of her comes from, where she's in the bathtub or who is the really the soap opera actress that did Brenda Dixon, ugh or Donna Mills too. She did one too, but Brenda Dixon. I think was the one everyone parodied welcome to my home and it's like look at all these tacky dresses. I own I used to miss that that was like Proto hair, like hair and makeup tutorial days when people used to like shop and catalogs to like get videotapes and like you'd, see that and be like. Oh, my gosh soap opera star, making a video about how to do their beauty routine. I want that it's right up there with like celebrities and they're doing Fitness tapes only way easier, because basically just touring your closet and doing your makeup. So I could see why so many celebrities jumped on the trend. But, like those are my oh there generation, let me know: did you ever order something from the videotape catalogs? If you did, what was it or did your mom or grandmother because, like that was such a thing like the Columbia House, that special interest section, I wonder if Raquel Welch ever did that like a lifestyle tape, I know she did like Fitness tapes. She did like the Jane Fonda route and, like she got sued by Bikram Yoga, her yoga tape. We'Re gon na do like a triple tease on this. Oh, my goodness, yeah I've never actually seen what this hair looks like when it's all jacked up. So this is gon na be exciting. For me, I may go wild and put a hairline in this. Why not oh she's, already starting to party pretty hard uh, makes it think of, like Gem and the Holograms or like the trolls, the Treasure Trolls, with the little jewels on the tummies uh, I remember used to have a lot of those growing up. That was like the few dolls I was allowed to have were Treasure Trolls and let me just tell you Treasure: Trolls they suck they're, not that fun. It'S just a statue with hair. It didn't actually do anything. It'S like you know an ugly Kewpie, doll or kooshlings. I remember those two where it's like: this is how barbaric it was. I wasn't allowed to have dolls that had brushable hair, because that would make it a doll. So, like Treasure Trolls they let me have because my parents just thought. Well, it's just an ugly troll doll. Who cares? It'S not gay or kushlings, where I guess like the they're willing to cross the bridge into like this being a doll territory, because the hair was rubber bands, so I couldn't actually style it like honey. I didn't get my first doll until Christmas, when my sister bought me the Sailor Moon dolls and she had to buy Tuxedo Mask with it just to make sure I didn't just get Girl dolls. I don't know what that was about, because it was obvious even back then like what did they think the doll was gon na? Do it's looking like astro turf, oh living in Las Vegas AstroTurf is everywhere turns out every people they love artificial grass. Here Palm Springs too, they love them. Some artificial grass and I used to really really like the idea of AstroTurf, just because I think it's kind of kitschy and like makes you think of like the 1950s, like the fake Lawns. But now that I live in a complex that has like AstroTurf everywhere for dogs in the summertime, no honey with grass, it's fine because at least you know it's natural it'll like deteriorate. Just AstroTurf is plastic, so it just sits there and just festers and it's just the smells. It can't all right. Well, I'm going to tease This Mother Out a bit more and I'll come right back. I think we're gon na do a hairline. Let'S do a rooted! Hairline, we've done that in forever, so I'll be right back we'll start doing a rooted, hairline. All right, I am back now. I started off the hairline a little bit just to see how I did it or if I remember how to do it, and I do it turns out Seth. We are going to start reading this hairline out sap. Oh hey! I haven't done this in so long. I actually forgot how fun it can be. It'S so stupid, especially wigs with bangs. Those always have a good hairline to root out with oh, my God, I'm obsessed with rooted hairlines. I don't know what it is I feel like. Sometimes they do look better than lace fronts like if you do it right, it can be really convincing. This good old school drag technique, although I feel like cosplayers. Do it a lot too now, like the rooted hairline? They do it really great. Although there is like this new trend happening with like hairlines, like especially in the back of the wigs, where, like I notice, people aren't rooting them anymore, it's just like a squared off super gelled back like the nape. It'S like a weird square shape, which I think is so interesting. Looking it's like just root the hairline out. Just do the extra work, it's fine. So in current news, as you all know, I started a shorts Channel and wouldn't you know the bigots have found it like. I posted a short recently and like it, looks like this is a lot more common than usual and looking through it's like. Oh, it's all like weird, bigoted trolls, I'm just like the funny thing is like they really think. They'Re gon na hurt your feelings and, like you, like, you, read the insult out loud and it's so juvenile they're, like that's the best you can do, and I remember like I'm, dealing with bigots here so like they're, not smart people so, like their reads, are really Like grade school, it's like you might as well call me a poopy head. If you think you're hurting my feelings, babes, you picked the wrong one, but like that's what they want us for you to like, say something back so that you can be nasty to them. They want you to like act out and do something crazy so that they can become the victim like. I never fall for that trap. I'M not your attack dog and again it's like I'm looking at just like okay, you say whatever you want, it's still engagement. I don't care it's like. I'M, not gon na sit here and argue with something that's clueless about drag and like a lot of them thought I was like a woman with plastic surgery. I'M just like. Thank you. That means my makeup's working, my gosh, I'm a better makeup artist than I thought. Okay, so hairline is rooted out, let's just spray the crap out of it. You know what I could do. I could do the fabric stiffener on this when I'm done, because I had not tried it on rooted hairline, yet I wonder how that would work. I bet it would work. I'Ve normally just been using as a finishing spray, and that's really all I've really demoed it, for I haven't tried it on like a rooted hairline yet so that could be interesting. The French fry hair all right now, let's get started on styling this bastard out step. That is our hairline look at that wow, okay, so the hair up top is really short, so we're going to play around with that and create something funky, I'm thinking of going like a scene kit kind of Route because, like I always do 80s, I never do Like 2000s, although with this dress, it's going to be an interesting look, so I have to change my outfit, but still I feel like it could be something interesting. So, let's just Eagle Claw out these bangs and with seeing kids, I notice they always had like a swoopy bang, so we're gon na sweep it out. Some look at that now. I could dig up some old photos of myself with hair like this. When a scene came about, I like leaped into it hard really not so much like. I never had like raccoon streaks or anything in my hair, but I definitely did like the. I love me along Fringe and I love me a flat iron bang. Oh, do I have burn marks on my ears from doing flat iron. My hair has not been the same since I do stupid things on my hair. Let'S go my friend Jen in high school. She used to like I used to like look at her and awe because she was like the scene kid just like full hair extensions like the snake bites the whole bit like. I could never commit that hard to get like the piercings or anything like that. I kind of wish I had imagine what I would look like with that now also I felt like such a poser too because, like I really like the aesthetic, but I did not really care for the music that much the other mind like when it came about. Like it was like the tail end of scene like it was already starting to fall out of favor, it was just falling into like more like my chemical romancy kind of era or who is it Midwest kill Hannah. That was the other one that everyone wants to go to, like, especially around Christmas time ever went to kill Hannah concerts, and one thing I liked about the scene. Kid hair is like it sort of like was referencing 80s hair metal without, like the fullness of it. Like it was still big but like there were elements of it that was like Mall culture and back in Milwaukee, the malls I went to didn't really have seen kids in them, like they weren't mallrat. Kids, like that, like that was more like a Suburban kind of thing. You had to go like deep into the suburbs in order to find them and the Pinnacle of seeing Kid content that I digested would have to be seen kid Love by Stevie Ryan, where her and her boyfriend at that time were making all those videos on MySpace. Oh, my God Myspace I can go on forever, but no, like Stevie Ryan stumbled upon genius with that series. Like short foreign content, that was so good for Myspace, there's like pre-youtube even before people were even putting their skits on YouTube. Like I loved that love love that like cdcable and all that, I even liked her other content like the Long Island love story like the islands. Oh my gosh, like it's kind of dated now like back when Jersey Shore and all that was still popular but like. Although I should say with Jersey Shore, we all were acting like they were not gon na be famous forever, and now, I'm looking at, like they've, been celebrities for a long time. They'Ve stuck around like wasn't Vinnie just on Dancing With the Stars like okay, they they're still around the Jersey Shore is still on TV. I fully met Vinnie at Chippendales, like they're, all still working and doing their thing. So it's like hats off to them because, like people wrote them off so quickly, saying they're gon na be a flash in the pan and yet they're still on MTV and still making that still making that station money. It'S like whoever that casting agent has to be like the like. That must be the girl to go to in Hollywood. It was like she found her a cast that has just stuck around and like that says. Something like the formula was so good that, like they never felt the need to recast she's forming it together into something really interesting. It'S very hair, metal scene, kiddish, bear in mind, there's only so much you can do with a hair at this length, but it's already super cool. Let me just start hairspraying it. Okay. Now I just think I need to cut the rooted hairline a bit and it should be ready to style just leave a little brushing out in the back and I'm also going to spray the hairline with fabric stiffener. If you're wondering how I do that be sure and watch my video down below alrighty, now, I'm going to do all that and I'll be right back with the final results. Welcome back yes, this is the hair check her out. The final result. I am obsessed. Look at this: yes, it is serving all kinds of like 80s meets 2000s kind of realness. Okay, like we got to see me a little hair metal in there. This is a good wig. Okay, like whoever resold this on eBay girl. You missed out because this is a cute wig check it out. Yes, and it's been so long since I've done a rooted hairline, I always forget how much I actually really like them, especially on like a hard front wig. They are just made to have rooted hair lines on them like you get such cool different ideas for hairstyles, and you do them like. I didn't imagine going this direction when I first did it, and here we are, it looks super cool. It'S like Cyndi, Lauper kind of Vibes and if you're wondering how I do the rooted hairline, I actually have a dedicated video that I'll link down below it's super informative and there's no way you cannot do a hairline after this, like they're so cool. Now I have to take a moment of that moment where I think everyone who's tipped me on. Then, though, I would like to thank Patrick and Sergio, as well as a cash appetizer from Sean thanks Sean. I also have some YouTube super things from Roger, or, should I say, darling Daphne thank you so much honey as well as Raymond. Thank you Han and Andy land. Thank you, hickey. Thank you!
