How To: Customize | Tint A Lace Frontal For Dark Skin + Make A 360 Lace Wig

Hi guys so i'm back and i'm gon na be showing you how i bleach and i tint my lace to match my skin tone. This is for darker skin tones. So, yes, i'm going to be taking about three stoops. I only really needed about one or two to be honest, so yeah i'm just going to take about three stoops and i'm just going to be adding the developer in little by little till i get a almost cake like consistency, so yeah. I definitely didn't need this much product, but i thought that i would because i am using a 360 lace frontal, so yeah i'm just going to keep mixing that in until i get the consistency that i want, you don't want it to be too runny, because it Can easily leak through the lace and bleach the hair see i'm just going to keep blending mixing. But i think this is the consistency that i want. So i'm going to go ahead and start bleaching the knots so yeah, i'm not going to be bleaching. The back of the 360 frontal just because i don't feel the need to so i'm only going to be bleaching the front and i'm lightly very lightly, just tapping it onto we're, not even tapping but just gliding it onto the lace. Because, like we say, we don't want it to leak through the lace and bleach the hair and, as you can see, i am using aluminum foil, that's what's causing it to be a little bit dark. I don't know the light reflecting off of it. So i do want to apologize if you can't really see what i'm doing, but hopefully i can explain it well enough, where you guys can understand, but there's hundreds and thousands, probably millions of videos, of how to bleach knots on youtube. If you do not find mine helpful, you can always find another one, but yeah this is all i'm really doing is just lying it on top of the lace, so i'm just going to wrap it in the aluminum foil, and i let it sit for about 30 Minutes so i just set the microwave timer to 30 minutes and just wait it. So, while i let the bleach sit, i decided i wanted to dye the bundles gent black um, the dye i'm using. I don't know if i will link it or list it down in the description box. I don't really feel like the hair looks jet black. I don't really know if the die set or if i did it right, but yeah, i'm just gon na dye. All three bundles and i'm just gon na, let that sit as i wait for the bleach to finish processing. So once i rinse the bleach out, you can see that it definitely did leak through. So i'm just going to go back in with some of that black dye that i use to um correct, where i went wrong now to tint the lace i'm going to be adding two cups of boiling hot water, and i'm also going to be using this hair Dye i was looking for the adora hair dye, but this is all i could find, so i just used a box dye because it was last minute. This is in the shade, dark chocolate and i'm just going to stir that in, and this is a trick i learned from chrissy baus and she just added a teaspoon of salt, what she used sea salt, i'm just going to use this regular salt and it's supposed To cancel out the redness in the dye, so your lace will not look red or orange. Looking see, i'm just going to blend that in. I will link her video down below. If you want to watch hers and i'm just gon na. Let that soak - and i believe i let it soak for about 20 to 30 minutes, so i did not let it air dry. I just blow dried the hair and i already began plucking now the way that i pluck, i do not use tweezers. I still use the same method, you know parting, the front and plucking, but i just use my fingers because i do not have a lot of patience, um so yeah. This is the quickest way for me. I take about three strands at a time and pluck you want to be careful not to you know over pluck, as you can see um, i did over pluck a little bit in the front and there's like these little spots that, like bald spots, be careful because You don't want that to happen, but um i personally like baby hairs. If you don't, the baby hairs, can kind of hide that so yeah, that's what i'm doing. Basically, just separating the hair and plucking, like i said about three strands at a time, and this is what the frontal looks like after i finish, plucking just with my hand, and i think it looks pretty good and i'm just showing you where i over plucked in The front but, like i said it's okay, and this is how much hair i got just from plucking with my hand, and it took me about an hour just plucking, with my hands now. All i'm doing here is placing four t-pins into my mannequin head. Just to hold the frontal in place, i'm not gon na be sewing it down. Um i'm gon na be sewing over the lace with um the tracks. I'M not going to be doubling the wealth. I'M only going to single the weft just because i want the wig to be able to lay flat as as possible as flat as it possibly can so yeah, i'm just going to be sewing back and forth. I am doing the flip over myth method, just flipping the tracks over back and forth. I hope you guys can understand the concept that i am doing. I will also link another video that i follow. That is more detailed that you guys can follow if you can't follow along what i'm doing here. This is a wig all done um the curls are gone because, like i said, i did blow dry the hair and i added a band and two combs in the back, just like my other unit, so yeah, i'm just gon na place that on my head, it Fits pretty snug thanks to the band, and i'm just gon na, take this cotton pad and it has alcohol on it. I'M just gon na rub that on my hairline just to remove any makeup any um products that i may have on my hair, just so that the lace can stick even more so yeah. That'S all i'm doing here, then i'm gon na be taking my got to be glued invisible, hair gel. This is not glue. People um, some people think it's a glue. It'S actually just a styling gel and i'm just going to take a pea size amount on my finger and just place it all on my hairline and then this is the freeze spray and i'm just going to spray that over it generous amount. Now i'm going to take my blow dryer and put it on the cool setting just to help fasten the process of it drying you want to blow dry till it gets um, tacky or sticky. Now you can go out to your beauty, supply, store and get a brown cap. I always forget: there's always something i forget and it's a brown cap, so i'm just gon na take some foundation and powder just to make my own diy yeah, you can buy a brown cap, it's way more easier and i'm just gon na go ahead and place That lace, on top of that gel and use a comb just to help secure even more so yeah as you can see, some of it still isn't sticking. So i'm just going to add a little bit more
