Client Wig #2: The Color Then The Correction

Hello and welcome to the t-grey pup channel in this video i'll, be showing you how i prepared my second client wig. If this interests you, then please keep watching okay right here, i'm just showing you what the hair looks like before we begin giving you a 360 as usual. Okay, so i have my teasing comb here and i'm going to tease the hair, because i wanted a very blended look. So uh just setting up my camera here, i'm taking maybe like three three tracks at a time and i'm kind of like um teasing and packing in that hair and getting it um the ends kind of thinned out, so that when i do release or start you Using um the uh, the lightener it'll be so well blended, you won't be able to see where the lightness begins and the darkness ends. So that's what you see me doing here, i'm just gon na show you the process a little bit so that um you can get a general idea of what it is that i'm doing here. Okay, so right here, i'm just showing you a finished! Look after i've teased everything out and um just give me a 360. now moving on to my lightener. As you know, if you've ever watched my channel, it's my favorite lightning super blue by l'oreal with a volume 10 and then i process the hair. Just a reminder, don't forget to like comment and subscribe thanks so right here like i normally do. I start at the very front because i want it to be lighter because the first place that you apply, the lightener is going to be the lightest section. So i'm just applying it as fast as i can so i can get as much lightness, even even lightness as possible. So i'm just working my way from the front. Then i'll do the sides and then i work my way to the back. So pretty much. The same process throughout and then i'm massaging that hair color in to make sure that i get even and thorough coverage because you don't want to miss any spots. You have any black spots along a strand of hair. Anything like that. So just make sure you emulsify that throughout all those strands in each one of these sections here, okay, so here's the completed uh application of the lightener, i'm gon na shampoo and condition the hair - and this is the final look of the shampoo and conditioner right here. I'M just showing you i'm blow drying the hair, even though you blow dry the hair. The cap may still be damp, but um right here, i'm just going to show you a 360 of what the hair is looking like now that i've lightened it and here's a little bit of a close-up. So you can take a look at what shades we're dealing with here and if you can look and see you can see, there's no line of demarcation. Anything like that. It'S just a nice, blended soft effect. Just a reminder don't forget to like comment and subscribe thanks. Okay, so right here, i'm going in with the 4g, which is hazel blonde and 4n, which is a neutral uh light brown with a volume 10 and the ratio for this particular color, which is well a color charm, is one part color to two parts: uh developer. Just a reminder, and i'm just gon na work that color throughout the entire head well mostly on the lighting pieces um and the area where it's blended uh. Where has the dark pieces at the root to make the root look and in between where it's lightened in between those strands and, of course, on the mid lens and the very end? So that's what you see me doing here. Just a reminder: don't forget to like comment and subscribe thanks: okay, so right here, i'm showing you the result of using the color. As you can see, it's an unexpected shade. My hair color went black. Here'S a close-up um. Now that i think about it. I should have done a strand test, it's very unpredictable with these wigs, sometimes so um right here, i'm just doing a soap cap, which is one part uh one part bleach powder, one part developer and one part shampoo and i'm trying to work it through to try To lift the color so apparently um the hair is so porous that it absorb the color so fast. You know so uh yeah. So it's a bit of a disappointment here is the resulting look and um right here, i'm just showing you the things that i used to do uh the watercolor method, because i was so disappointed. Honestly, i had no idea what i was going to do next. So right here, i'm just using those products and trying to draw dry it on the lace, so it doesn't get stained and my knots don't re-darken, okay. So i'm going to try to explain what may or may not have happened. Uh just a couple of theories that i have juggling in my head. So let's go okay, so apparently the hair uh color took pretty fast. So that means that the hair was pretty pretty porous now. What i should have done was a strand test, but anyway that was a mistake on my part. I have encountered this particular problem before uh. You have like a couple of options. You can do number one leave the hair color as it is, which i mean. If you will lighten it, that would be defeating the purpose. Your second option is to lighten the hair, color and redeposit a shade that um that you were going for. In the first place i mean you could use a color remover uh such as one and only uh. You could do a soap or what they call nowadays. I don't know why they say this, but it's called a bleach bath. One part shampoo, one part, bleach, uh pot of bleach and one part lightener, which we used to call it a soap cap. So they got new names for everything nowadays, so i decided against the uh one and only um color remover, because it smells like it smells like farts to me, and i didn't want to send anybody a wig that smells like forks. So i decided to do the soap cap method, so after i did that it lightened it enough. I mean i was going for a brown, so i didn't need it like blonde or anything. So that was perfect. Now the problem is when it comes to re-lightening re, depositing, hair color. Of course you can run into the same process of the same problem as before and it can re-darken. Now, when i was in beauty school, when this would happen, you would use it with a you would put a filler on it now filler. I think i did a video on it. I'Ve never actually used a specified filler. I'Ve used like a small amount of conditioner. It slows the process down so that you can watch it and monitor it as soon as it gets to the correct shade. You go ahead and shampoo and rinse it out, but i've never tried a desert, a designated uh filler, which is one one thing i'm going to have to experiment with, and i think i'm going to make a video about that. It'S probably a good idea for a video um, so yeah just keep your eyes out for that. Okay, so what i decided to choose to do after i lighten the hair instead of me using another demi permanent hair color, which is basically you have your color and your developer in a volume 10, which is deposit only, i decided to go with a semi-permanent hair. Color, okay, so the two colors i chose was mocha because i needed more depth and i chose uh honey brown both by adore hair color. Okay, so i chose to use the watercolor method, basically taking up a bucket of hot water and put your color in a semi-permanent hair color and put it into uh your wig into it, and let it soak. So that's what i did. Unfortunately, i don't have any video of that, because i was just so nervous and trying to get the job done, but this is the completed look of how it looked after i finished doing everything to it here. It is straightened and up next, i'm going to show you it curled, and this is how i completed my second client wig. Let me know what you think about it in the comments down below. Hopefully, you learned something in this process and probably do strand tests before you put any color on any wigs. I mean sometimes i forget to do that myself. I thought for sure it was going to come out right, but you just never really know what these uh vendors do to these. These wigs in this hair before you actually get a hold to it.
