*How To* Make A Platinum Grey Wig W/4X4 Closure Ft Ali Queen 613 Hair | Fortheloveofupdos

Are you guys welcome back to my channel, so we're gon na jump right into this, because it's a little bit of a lengthy video? So, as you can tell by the title, I am going to be showing you guys how I make my wigs with a closure. I'M using a free part, closure and two bundles. This hair was provided to me by Audi Queen on Aliexpress and they sent me their free part closure it's a 4 by 4 closure and it's pre plucked. As you can see in the front. I absolutely love that, because the easiness of constructing a closure wig, which, in my opinion is 10 times easier than constructing a frontal wig ten times easier when it comes to applying your wig. But it gives you the look of a frontal in the front. They sent me a 16 inch free part closure, a 14 inch and a 12 inch bundle in order for me to create this long, blunt Bob. So, as you can see, I basically line up my closure in the middle and I used T pins to hold down the front the back and the two sides. What I can say is that I absolutely love this closure. It was not too thick, but it was dense enough. Of course, the pre plucked hairline in the front was my absolute favorite. I think my closure is probably my favorite thing about this hair. In all honesty, so, as you can see now, I'm going ahead and I'm just stitching around the perimeter of the closure now by no means guys am I professional. This is just how I do it. I am not perfect by any means, but if this happens to work for me and the clients that I've made wigs for so hopefully this is a little bit of insight for guys. What I'd like to do is I like to stitch down one side and I bring it to one side of T pin in the middle, so I like to do side to side and join them up in the middle if that makes sense, so I'm gon na Stitch this all the way around to where the middle T pin is and then I'll go on the next side. Stitch from the bottom come up all the way to where the middle T pin is and ensures that you don't get any lumps and bumps or uneven stitching in your closure helps to keep it nice and flat flat, close you're, always there now that both sides have Been stitched, I'm showing you it lines up perfectly in the center and both sides. I stayed from top to bottom. Do the exact same motion, so I've just tucked our here away so that this way I can get started on sewing in the bundles. So here we have two bundles 14 and 12 I'd love to buy long lengths when doing a blunt bob only to ensure that everything flows smoothly. So I put b12 on the bottom, then the 14, and then I have my 16 inch closure and that's gon na ensure that everything flows in one direction. There'S no layering and no choppiness. So right here, I'm just showing you that the weft construction of this hair wasn't the greatest. I didn't like that. It had pink thread in there. The wet was like a little bit like the stitching, wasn't tight and it was a little bit snagging in certain areas. So that was definitely a con for me on this hair. The web construction wasn't the greatest the texture initially of this six one three here now, I haven't used a lot six one three here. This is my first time using six one three and I can honestly say the hair felt rough. Initially, the initial texture of the hair was pretty coarse, but the hair was full and nevertheless there was a bit of shedding initially and I'm saying initially because after I show you guys how I toned the hair, the Toni actually helped to soften up the hair. For some reason and the shedding it pretty much stopped after I had cut the ends so as you're seeing here, I'm not going through the weft, I'm going under the weft and tying a knot at the end. So at no point did I go through the weft itself. I want to make sure that I went under to keep the integrity of the hair as best as possible, just to make sure that I didn't add to any more potential shedding that could occur. So now. I'M just lining up the track to the front of the closure to the edge of the closure. So, as you seen, I've sewn a couple of layers, that's why I think at that time I had sewn in about three and now I'm going ahead and I'm gon na go from Temple to Temple with my stitching. Another thing that I really liked about this hair was that this hair did not come with any smell. You know. Sometimes you get here from aliexpress and has a little bit of a funky smell. It did not have any smell. I just showed you how much space I like to put in between my tracks. I do kind of do big space in and between my tracks, and that's just because when I do bobs, I don't like the hair to be too thick too close together too chunky. It'S just not a good look, because you don't want to be looking like DW so now that all of the 14 inch is sewn and I'm gon na go into so in the 12 inch and I'm there showing you like, there was a little bit of shedding, But nothing much to speak of with the 12 inch. The 14 inch shed a little bit more than the 12 inch. I could say that when it comes to doing Bob's, I like to cut my shortest bundle in half and that helps me manage how much hair I'm putting into the the wig. Also because it kind of gives me like a guideline I can see like. Am i using one and a half bundles? Am i using one and a quarter of a bundle on when it comes to certain lengths? The bundles are definitely thick from root to tip. So it's not. The ends were straggly. That was not a thing. It was nice and full from root to tip, which again is another pro about this hair and, like I said after toning and conditioning their hair, it got so smooth. So if you do purchase this hair don't be discouraged. If you find that it's a little bit rough in the beginning, I would recommend just doing a nice little deep condition, not with purple shampoo unless you're trying to get a tone to look and you'll see that a little bit later. If you like this, yellow undertone to your blonde, I would say just decondition it with some like Ozzy, moist, conditioner or Tresemme anything. That'S a white base, conditioner deep conditioned with that, and it should soften up the hair. This hair, it does retail for the lengths that I got two hundred and four dollars and seventy five cents and that's Canadian pricing. Of course, it's gon na be a way cheaper for American pricing. Probably you would work out to be like 160 or something like that. Don'T quote me on that? You might want to consult a google conversion trans. I mean that thing is that little currency converter and you might want to consult that bad boy. But overall, I don't think that's a bad price. I mean getting six one. Three here is always gon na be a little bit more pricey, because I guess the companies have to do the processing for you. So it's a little bit more labor. So I think it's fair again just lining up from Temple to Temple and use your t pins to help keep your bundles in place. I know when it gets to the more curved area of the head, like the crown area. Sometimes you feel, like your bundles, will shift in no problem. Just use your deepen to hold it in place. Wan na do one at each end on one in the middle um and don't worry guys I'll, put a link in the description box to where I get T pins from you can buy them from your hair store or you can get them on Aliexpress or Amazon. So I'll put a couple of links for you in case you don't find them at your local beauty, supply store or, if you don't have a local beauty supply store in your area. Once I've gotten to this point of the wig, I'm gon na go ahead and change the way I saw so I'm just showing you guys. Everything is pretty much lined up and for there's not a lot of difference between the 14 and the 12 inch weight. I just completely realized guys. I said this whole thing wrong. I did the 12 inch on the bottom and the 14 on the top. I just realized, I said: that's you guys, so my bad, my correction there. This is the 14 inch bundle that I'm stitching in at the top. The 12 inch went on the bottom, so that's how it's leveling up in terms of length and you're, not seeing that layering effect. Now I'm just going ahead and I'm stitching pretty much from arch to arch, if that makes sense, I'm no longer going from the temple to Temple, I'm just stitching straight across now, and that's all gon na line up in the end and help us close off our Wig so we've gone ahead, our wig is fully constructed, and now I'm gon na cut out the inner portion of our dome cap just gon na go ahead and use this marker scissors and cut out in the center part. You want to be very careful, be mindful of where you stitch. You don't want to cut too close to where you stitch, because sometimes the thread can get loose and then you'll start getting gaps and holes in your stitching around your clothes. You should be very careful, and the inside of your wing should look like that. Now we're going to tone our hair, so I'm just using for the volume developer. The t18 will have color charms and some clips a mixing bowl, a Denman brush, a regular comb and some black latex gloves so to make our toner we're gon na use, one part toner and seal all the contents. I'M going to do two parts for the volume developer, so just fill up that bottle twice with the 40 volume developer. You can use twenty or thirty or even ten, I like using 40 because it just speeds up the process a whole lot quicker. Everybody is gon na have their own way of how they like to do their toner. This is just how I like to do mine, so the way to know that you've, mixed your toner correctly, is that your solution is gon na go from this white color to a purple color. So don't let this time lapse for you. It does not take seconds for this part to happen. It took me about two-and-a-half to three minutes of mixing in order for me to finally see that purple color come through. I want to see that full purple. You know that you know that you have mixed your toner correctly and then, if you want to mix more, let's say you want to do two bottles of toner, then you'll pour two bottles of toner and then you'll do four bottles of the 40 volume developer. If that makes sense now we're just gon na go ahead and start painting it onto the hair with our brush. So, as you can tell like, it looks very clear a little bit, it looks kind of like an opaque II purple, but it starts to get intense as the moments go by like it works pretty quickly and pretty soon. You'Re gon na see just how purple it gets now if you're trying to achieve the purple color you're about to see. I will like to tell you that just putting the toner on and leaving it on for long is not going to be the way to get that color, because it does completely rinse out and just leave the tone color of blond in the bottom or underneath. I should say so: this purple t18 toner is what's gon na help create the base of a very silver platinum, metallic blond. Let me show you a little bit of a close-up of how purple it gets and there you guys see the hair is pretty purple from the toner in comparison to how yellow the six one three closure is. So I'm just gon na go ahead and go in and start toning out our closure a little of a little advice in terms of toning, your hair, I want to let you guys know people have different interpretations of how long you should keep toner on there's different Recommendations for how long you should process the hair for because the hair is already processed, I'm gon na be very real with you guys. I kept this toner on for about. I want to say get this toner on for maybe two hours and it didn't break off the hair. It didn't make the hair any more like Shetty, it did not add to the shedding of the hair. Like I said once I toned the hair. This is when the hair actually started to get very nice feeling it got pretty silky and smooth feeling. Once I had toned the hair, I don't know if that's due to the toner at office, due to how long I left the developer of the toner on I'm, not gon na tell you guys to go ahead and leave it on for as long as I did, But this is just the method that had worked for me, so I'm deciding to share that with you. Guys, of course, do everything on your own discretion. If you're a beginner um, I would suggest just leaving it on for maybe half hour and see how you feel, because you could always go back in and tone like once. The hair dries to dry with a blow dryer with the air dryer once the hair dries. You always go back in and Tony that's not a problem. Now this wig process this was days really like. I had constructed the wig and handi in one day left it to air dry turned around and added color on it. The next day, which I'll be showing you that step shortly, so you see here this is after it was air dried. I kind of blow dried it out a little bit straighter. It'S still pretty silver and I was little tints of purple in there, but I wanted it to be more greyish, bluish purplish, and so I that's the dye that I use I'll put the name of the dye in the description box down below. I used two bottles. I just poured out the content in my mixing bowl. All I did was brush it into the closure, but everything else I just poured the dye all over rubbed it in and wrapped it in this garbage bag. I also put some purple shampoo, I'm sorry purple conditioner. In it left it overnight and washed it out the next day to get the final color that you guys see, and she finally have it. Platinum gray, I've already gone ahead and I flat ironed everything up. A bio soaking pair stay here is fleeky. Now I'm just going in and I'm doing my cut for my brother Bob now you're gon na see I am like such a I bother when it comes to doing cuts so you're gon na see I even end up cutting it a little bit shorter. As I made my way around to the other side, but it's okay, because I went ahead and I corrected that cuts in the very end. So I'm just going around with my shears taking my time and trying to make the cut as precise and blunt as possible. So, as you see here, nothing is like lined up, but I'm just gon na go ahead and fix that now and all some people use Clippers um, like barber shears, I just used regulus like shear scissors that I got from the hair store. I think these are like an e brand. They were like ten bucks. This is what I use to create my cuts and it happens to work for me. I guess this is working harder, not smarter, cuz. You know the barber shears are a little bit quicker, but this is what works for me. So I'm just gon na go with my flat iron. I'M almost gon na slightly bump the ends a little bit and there you have it guys. That is everything that is the step-by-step as to how I created this platinum, blonde gray, bluish, color wig.
