Dying My Curly Wig Blonde With Brown Highlights | Installing A Lace Wig With Glue | Wigencounters

What'S up y'all, it's simone here and today in this video i am gon na be doing some dyeing. This is a unit from wig encounters and, to be honest, you guys know me. This is not really my style as far as it being short and curly. So i wanted to spice it up a bit by using these blond me um dye, basically to go ahead and bleach the hair, so i only used one scoop and then i used a lot of this liquid, not too much um after a while, when you know How to do this? You will know what the consistency should be, so you don't want it to be runny, but you don't want it to be too thick. I also bleached the knots, so i bleached it out first, though, because i didn't want to have to dye the hair and then after i washed out all that bleach, i have to come back and re-bleach, so this is the easiest way to do it. I would say make sure the hair is semi-dry, or at least mostly dry before you start to bleach the hair. So i sectioned the hair off into a few parts starting off with the bottom, and i really wanted this look to be mostly like a ombre type of look, but then with the random streaks of blonde on the hair. So, as you can see, i'm only applying it to the bottom for now and then i'm taking out random strands and applying the the bleach all over the entire strand. So this is basically how you would like to do it. If you don't want to have too much color, then i would say: take out less strands to bleach. But if you want a nice mix, then go ahead and take out a few make sure it's scattered and or evenly spread out. Also, it's important to not have a really harsh line. I know the hair is curly, so you kind of can't tell, but it helps if you use the brush and turn it sideways so as you're getting towards the part where you want to stop just angle. The brush so that it's not a harsh straight line across, so this is where we're at right now. This hair was super easy to dye. I will say, though, i actually loved this wig. I didn't use a headband or anything on this wig. It just fits super. It just fit really well. I had to actually add a little bit more dye, so here i am just mixing it up again and then i went ahead and continued. Now again, you don't have to have to add a lot of color to this. This is basically, you want some kind of color, but you don't want too much. You know what i'm saying. Oh my god. This is how it looked after such a beautiful color. I went ahead and plucked the hairline that i would definitely recommend that you pluck the hairline before the hair dries, because the natural curl on this wig, as you can see, is super super beautiful. So you don't want to go ahead and risk it and have to make the curls like take advantage of how good the curls actually look, and then i also made sure i parted it, where i wanted it to be parted um so that it would dry. Just like this, and then i went ahead and i just scrunched the hair, i didn't put any extra product in or anything. This is just the hair freshly washed and i just spent time really scrunching and crunching those curls. Now it's time to install and as usual i start off by just cutting off the excess. Now make sure you brush your edges back, i used some alcohol. I found this spray one at walgreens, it's amazing, so i went ahead and used it on a paper towel and then wiped off my edges to make sure there was no like excess oils or any residue there. That would possibly make the insulation process a challenge. So don't put it on the hair, put it on the skin. Okay slide the wig back to where you would want it. Now, i'm not a fan of minimizing the forehead. If you place it too far back you risk your forehead, looking massive more massive than it. Probably is girls, i got a big forehead next i went ahead and used gold spawn glue, probably the only glue that works for me. I will always say this: there is no other glue that works. For me, everything is just or just too sticky or feels like elmer's glue, and it just does not work. So this is the only one that works for me. Dries clear stays for a while and is easy to come off. My skin carefully pull the lace onto the glue now, as you guys may know, some of you may not, but once you tack this down and you push it into your skin uh, you can't move it because if you move it, it's going to turn white and Just look disgusting and you have to start all over so make sure before you press it into your skin. You kind of like where it's at now, let's go ahead and do the sides make sure you cut the excess lace off from above the ears and even though this part is a little bit white again what i love about god, um ghostbeat ghost bond glue. I can't talk: is it's gon na dry, clear anyways? Now, i would say, don't do this across the whole hairline make sure it's clear, but i got a little antsy and i had to go, go ahead and cut your lace off and this lace was actually very, very, very invisible. Actually, i was highly impressed by this. All right, so what i'm doing right now is i'm actually pulling back the lace a little bit the parts that did not stick and i'm lightly, applying more glue underneath that area so that it looks melted. Can you guys see how good that looks and just press it in not too hard enough to make it stick now? My favorite trick of all time is to get whatever is left on your foundation brush or powder that matches your skin and just lightly color, the edge of the lace. Do you see how good that blends base that blends so freaking, good? Okay? So now what i'm gon na do is just like fake curl them, but curl them. I'M gon na go ahead and flat iron. My edges. Now there was a huge chunk of this video that just randomly went missing. I have no clue where it's at so i um don't really have the end and end end result, but i do have how my hair looked um when i wore it in the days after installing i kept this wig on for maybe about a week and a Half because it was just so easy, the easiest wig it was so light. It was so there was no shedding. It was so easy to reinstall. I had to reinstall it one time i think or twice because i like to wash my face and wash all the way up on my hairline so yeah, then the glue did kind of come off a little bit, but it lasted so long and it just was The best, probably one of my favorite easiest wigs to have on my head and only reason why i'm curling these is because when you lay them flatter, they look so good. So all right so got ta, be glue, um hairspray and a brush edge control brush. And this actually makes your edges stay longer than any edge control. In my opinion - and this is how my end result looked - it looked really good sorry for the hanging boob, but it just looks so good, and i want you guys to see how the hair looks when it's dry. It just looks so natural. I got so many compliments on this wig it just it's the best wig ever love. It see you guys in my next video
