How To Dye Dark Roots On A 613 Wig. Dark Skin Friendly

Hey guys, it's nick, so i made this blonde wig a couple weeks ago and i decided that i wanted the roots to be like a dark 1b type color. So i decided to film the process and yeah. So if you want to see how i achieve this, look just keep watching. Okay, you guys so the hair colors that i'm using is um the revlon color stay black brown color um, the revlon color stay in my opinion, is the best for like basic dye, because it's only three dollars at walmart um. So that's what i use to dye. The roots - and this is just me showing out what um dye i did for the rest of the hair, but that was a hot mess, so i ain't even showing y'all that so usually i start out by spraying the front of the closure with got to be Spray because there's usually a bunch of little fly aways that kind of make it hard. If you don't so, i kind of just do that to put the hairs in place, and then i mix a little bit of the dye in the bowl. As you can see, i don't use the whole tube because the whole tube isn't needed to do just the roots of the closure. So now i'm just putting the die onto the closure. I usually um kind of go around the perimeter. Is it i think the perimeter of the closure and then i um start to go like row by row, so i don't like to bring my um like the color of the roots too far down. So i pretty much just get like the very. I guess like the first, maybe inch of the hair um and i go along. Do a section part. It then do the other side of that section. Part it and just kind of continue, but you'll see what i'm talking about in a second. So so so, this is what i mean by parting, the hair, doing on each side of the section and then parting and continuing you'll see that i'll do the top side of that next. But another thing that i want to note is that when you are dying any like color, that's not like a full color um if you'll notice, i'm taking the brush. Once i finish like covering what i want to cover, i take the brush and turn it vertically and just make little tiny streaks just so that it's not like a sharp line from brown to blonde. If that makes sense, basically just to make it a smooth transition into the rest of the hair, so i'm pretty much just going to be doing that until i get to the until i get through the closure. So i'm just going to speed it up um because it's it'll get boring. So another thing is making sure that you, like, i guess, kind of press all the way down into the roots. You don't want to have like the very tip of the roots of your hair, be blonde, while the rest of it be dark, has happened to me before and yeah it's a hot mess, so just make sure you're doing that. I will say you do run the risk of getting dye on your closure by making sure that you get all the way down to the roots. Some people use a comb method where they use like a fine-tooth comb and apply the dye that way it doesn't work. For me, i've tried it. I still got dye all over the lace, so my um my trick for doing that is if you do get dye on the lace, you can always just bleach bleach the nuts afterwards, it kind of like corrects the dye that you get on the lace. So if y'all know any better tips or any um any other ways of correcting, if you get dye on the lace, please leave a comment below i'm always open to suggestions and learning new things, because i'm definitely not a professional and i'm learning as i go. So i'm open to whatever suggestions. Y'All have so so i turned the mannequin head just so that y'all can see from a different angle how i'm applying the dye um just so y'all know this is not for the week. Um do this process, even though it's just the roots of the hair. It takes a lot of patience, even though this video is only 13 minutes long. It took me about an hour to do this because you want to part small sections to make sure that you're covering all the hair - and you want to be very um. What'S the word you just want to be careful, you don't want the dye getting everywhere. You don't want it going all throughout the hair because of course the hair is staying blonde. So you don't want a bunch of black streaks in the hair, so yeah, but i'm just gon na go back to what i was doing and speed the rest of this up. So so, once the actual closure is finished, i will go along the that track. That'S right underneath the closure and just hit the roots of those two. It kind of helps make the whole hairstyle kind of look more seamless. When the when the closure falls. Basically it'll. Look, you know, it'll, look blended, it won't look like just the closure has been dyed, so this is an extra step that i did that i probably wouldn't do again, but i went around the perimeter of the whole wig and did like the sides around the back And stuff this is useful if you're going to be wearing your hair in a ponytail a lot, but i personally don't so i don't find it hugely necessary, but i will probably do it by request, but i wouldn't do it for my own wigs, but it was Just something to try so yeah you'll see me doing that. So this is the hair. After all of the dye was deposited, and this is the hair after it was washed and blow dried and um yeah. This is me styling it i didn't show the full. Like me dyeing the actual hair um, because it was honestly it was a mess it like. I just didn't, do it neatly and yeah it was just hotness, so i didn't put it in this recording. But if you guys want to see it, i still have the footage for it, so i can post it, but it's not yeah yeah so, but this is the hair after it's after everything was done. So this is how it looks complete. This is the final look. Um i'm trying no baby hairs, so um, i'm trying it um, i think, normally with no baby hairs. I would probably cut this first layer uh just because those pieces on the very very end. They don't quite lay the way that um, i think they should. But i didn't take them off, because i want to see what it looks like first and then, if i don't like it, then i will lay the baby hairs and those pieces would be the baby hairs. So i don't want to cut too much lace off so yeah, but this is how she looks finished and i'll give her a spin for you guys. This is her. Thank you guys for watching. I hope you enjoyed it and i will see you guys on the next video bye
