Ice Grey Wig Install + Plucking Tutorial & Watercolor Method | Ft. Ossilee Hair

Hey guys welcome back to my channel, so of course i started off by showing you guys the wig in the lace. This is a 13 by 4 180 density wig from australia, hair and this video has gone by really fast, so i have to speak fast um. So i've started off by using the shimmer lights. Purple shampoo and i just ended up pouring that in the water, because it makes your blonde wigs or your 613. Wigs less yellowy and it'll get rid of that yellow undertone and you can tell how the color removed or how the yellow undertones were gone because it looks very white compared to when i first showed the wig and that first color i didn't show. But the first color i used was that platinum, gray or just platinum put that into a bowl did a test strand liked how it looked. Then i ended up dipping the entire wig in there and when i do this, i usually dip it in and out just as i did with the purple shampoo and before you ask yes, i did this in my room. Obviously, and yes, there's water on the floor, but i got the water up, so it's fine and i don't have carpet so it was fine to do it. I think at that moment that's when i started mixing the mystic gray yeah, that's the mystic gray didn't show it don't know why, but that's the mr gray, i'm combing the hair out just so. I know that it's all evenly distributed and then i dipped it in and voila, so that's pretty much it for the dyeing process. Now, let's get into the plucking, so i usually just comb my wigs out. I mean, i think everybody does this, but i comb my wigs out then i put on the wig stand, make it you know, line up someone or whatever just keep combing it out, and then i section the very front of the wig okay, the very front and Then i start plucking backwards. I got these tweezers from bsw. I know some people use other special tweezers, but i used those from bsw and they were like six dollars, but as i continue to pluck, i just section out the part behind it. If that makes sense like i'll, take out the front and then plug behind that and like i just keep repeating that process and that's basically what you're seeing me do here by the way plucking and trying to get the perfect install is very very, very time consuming. Okay, so don't think you're going to pluck for 10 minutes and you're going to be good and your wig is going to look nice because it's not going to happen. I promise you this process, even though it looks like two minutes. It took me like a good hour to to plug it to my desire and what i wanted to be like don't put real quick, so i do believe in this video. I don't know when it's gon na pop up, but i think i did end up. Oh look at zoom in okay, but anyways. I think i did end up showing you guys like exactly how much um here that i plucked out, but even then i ended up going back in the wig yesterday, which was tuesday. I recorded this on monday. I did go back in and plug the wig some more because i was not satisfied but, as you can see here, there's a big, dramatic difference from when i first put that wig on that wig stand and from now like you can definitely tell the difference like It'S a lot thinner, it's a lot natural looking like it just looks 10 times better. That'S why plucking is really key to a nice install and patience too, like you, don't want to over. Pluck anything like be patient. I did accidentally end up um over pluck mine a little bit here. I am hot combing it, but it's fine like i can cover it up. It'S fine, but there goes the hair that i was showing you guys that i plucked out, but i plugged out five times more of that hair than what i just showed you and honestly, just let's just get into the lace, and here i am just taking piece By piece um, hot comb, hot comb and tweezers are your best friend in an install, i'm just hot combing it flat just trying to make it flat or whatever i just section off the back but um. I think i ended up covering that up, because the part that i made was like ugly, so the wax stick is also important here. I did end up combing that um edge back. So that's not what the wig looks like now: um yeah, that's pretty much it for the tutorial portion, um yeah and now i'm back to show you guys the install process. So first i use that um wonder, wrap stuff or whatever they call it like, protect it to slip. My edges back instead of using got to be then i'll, put on a wig cap and spray even spray on it. Now i do want to say this before we get more into the video, so i did mess up this first install when i did it, so i ended up taking the wig off and redoing it again myself, but it's still the same process. So, as you can see, i cut my ears out or whatever and i'm spraying it again and i'm going to blow dry it just to make sure that everything is dry and make sure everything's intact. Next is makeup um. I use two different makeups, because your skin is not all one color and i use that tint spray too, but when i reinstalled it i didn't use the ten spray. I think that made it really light so yeah now cutting your wig cap in a specific spot is the most important part well applying the spray is important too, because you want to apply it like right before your hairline. This is where people lose their edges like right before your hairline and i have a low hairline. So that's why mine is like down solo, but now i'm just cutting away the cap make sure i'm cutting on where i put the stuff and i'm using alcohol. I'M sorry this is probably the worst voice ever voice over ever yeah cleaning, the perimeter and just making sure there's no oil on my face because i do have oily skin now. This is where i put the tent spray in the wig too, and i'm also gon na put the makeup on the wig that i had on that brush and then i think i'm gon na try the wig on just to make sure it fits, and this the Color was right there. I am trying the wig on to make sure it's all lined up now with colored hair. I realized that you have to put the hairline way in front of the cap, because the first time i did this, i messed it up really bad and you could definitely see the cap through it, which is why i had to take this install off and do It again off camera, so, as you can definitely tell, the wig cap was giving me trouble and that's part of the reason why my first install was really ugly because of the wig cap. So i ended up using a thinner, wig cap and not that kind of wig cap real and then here i am just applying that bold hold active um. I did three layers of this and then i spread it out and then i let it air dry, because i like to keep my wigs on for at least like a week or two - and i don't even know here so i'm about to get after this. So i'm gon na need it to stay on for a little longer and then here i am just cutting out the edge pieces. Well, not edge pieces, the parts on my ears, okay, the ear tabs - so i can have an ear i mean. Obviously, i'm gon na have okay, you know what i mean, though just just cut off the part, so it's not blocking off your ear, okay, and when i bring the lace into the glue uh, that's why you guys see me keep using that pink comb, because i'm Combing it into the glue, but, like i said the beginning or like the front of the wig, where i put the part, i should have brought up a lot higher now in a wig install that elastic band is going to be your best friend elastic band. Tweezers scissors wax spray wax stick hot comb, all that rat tail comb. All of that is your best friend, but definitely that elastic band. If you really want a melted lace, so i've never done this before but um. I don't know, i feel like wonder woman today. So i ended up sewing my wig on in the back. Usually i just let it you know hang or whatever, but i actually sold it in the back this time. Um didn't know what i was doing, but i know it's secured and i know it's not coming off my head. So that's good enough to be honest, and then here i am just making the part. The part actually is kind of straight. It'S actually really straight to be honest and yeah. Taking that alaska man off definitely hurt you seen that face yeah. I know i ain't that inside love, but i really did it, though, because, like i said i had to take it off and redo it, but you know um. I don't feel the need to keep saying here's the hot comb, here's the hot comb, because you obviously see that it's the hot comb and i use the hot comb majority of this install because, like i said it's important to the install now at this moment. Yes, you can see a little bit of the lace, but let me say this: laces fabric, okay, you're gon na see lace regardless. So stop thinking that you're gon na see skin but anyways. I'M spraying that even hairspray on the lace and then i'm going to use that melt band or elastic band again to melt it because that's you know it's a melt band so um honestly, i wouldn't recommend that heat protectant spray um it's actually kind of trash. But that's the only heat protectant spray i had so i used it. I would buy bio silk, but it anus like 20 for a little bottle, yeah um i'll pass, and then here i am thinking i ate it up. Obviously i can't tell on camera that it looked bad but like it did, but it doesn't look bad on camera, so i'm gon na just let y'all think that it was. You know it was that girl, but it really wasn't that girl in real life. So a hot comb, the baby hairs that i section out and then i'm gon na end up using a razor to cut them. I don't like to use scissors i like for mine to have like that short to long kind of you know what i mean. Well, if you don't know what i mean you'll see real quick, so i'm plucking out hair out of the baby hairs because one was mad thick and no absolutely not so yeah. I just plugged some extra hair out of that real quick. So, like i said again, it's looking, it looks like i ate right here because on camera, like i said it, look it on camera. It looks like it's eating, but in real life is what really matters and it wasn't eaten in real life. So but yeah there goes that sheer that i was just telling you about. You know just cutting the edges down or whatever yada yada. Nothing too special, i'm gon na put some hot sauce. How then, next i went in with this mini flat iron that i bought from the beauty supply store. It was like twenty dollars, i think um. So i curl upwards some. I know some people curl downwards. I don't know what the difference really is, but i curl upwards and it gives them that fluffy. Look. I don't know that the little fluffy edges i don't know, that's like real cute right there. I don't know, but i use mousse and um got to be spray. I use the got to be spray just to keep the top down and then i use the mousse to like curl the edges in a c motion: real quick foreign. So then, after curling my edges, i just wrap them up with this black um silk wrap. I think that's what it's called. It was like 99 cents at the beauty, supply store and there i am showing you what it looked like after i installed it the second time and yeah. Thank you guys for watching i'll, see you in my next video bye,
