Hi welcome back to my channel so today I want to show you guys what I've been using lately to hide the grits on my lace so about three. Maybe four years ago I did a video to show you guys what I use to hide the grits on my place, so my grits on the lace, I mean the tiny little holes of the lace of the actual unit, I'll insert like a close-up picture somewhere for You guys to see for those of you that don't know what I'm talking about um but yeah. I used to use the scar way. So close scar way is a silicone sheet that you use for like when you have scars, obviously to help flatten them out and they sell it at like CVS, Walgreens Target all that stuff. But it's like twenty dollars for our box of those, and I was searching on Amazon for a cheaper alternative. You guys - and I found another version that is way better for wigs. I don't know those scars, but for weeks it is freaking bomb okay, so the weight that I'm gon na be using today is from awhile African. It is this pretty curly unit right here, she's really long I'll have all the details and things for this unit down below in the description box. But I've already cut the lace and I did pluck it a little bit more, but it did come pre pluck and it came with the knots already bleaching. So that's always a plus you guys, but let me show you guys what I'm talking about. So I wish I had a scar away piece to show you guys, but I don't have any because I threw them all away because I started getting old, but it is this right here. So this is what the box looks like. I got it off. Amazon I'll go ahead and leave the direct link down below because there's a bunch of different ones, but this is the one that I got and this is what it looks like you guys. So it's still a silicone scar sheet um, but you get way more. I'Ve already used - I don't know a couple of these already because I've been using it for about three weeks now, just to test it and see exactly where to place it. So this is what it looks like you guys and you can tear it. I had the little dotted lines where you can tear it and make little squares. You can leave it as long or as short as you want it. You know you can always cut it and make it fit to how you want it to I'm gon na. Go ahead and take a piece off, so you guys can see what I'm talking about and then we're going to apply it to this wig okay. So this is a super sticky, you guys, so you do want to be careful with it, because it will stick to each other, but this is what it looks like it's. This really thin layer, SuperDuper thin and it's freakin perfect. So the other one was a little bit bigger than this, or maybe a lot a bit thicker than this cause. It had like another layer on top this one is so thin and so flat you guys that is like perfect for underneath the weight. So let me show you guys what the weight looks like without it first and then I'll put it on and show you guys what it looks like where's, my earring. So, under all of my lights, like it doesn't look that bad, it doesn't look like you can really see the grits on the lace, but trust me if I get super duper close, you could totally see all the little grits right here and when you go outside You can see it so much more and I know that's when people start freaking out about wigs because they just don't want people to know that they have a wig line. I don't really see the problem with people knowing that you have a wig on as long as your wig looks bomb like yeah it's a week. So what like? I changed, my hair, so freedom. I said if you think this is my real hair. You are crazy. You, like, I, do get it cuz when I first started wearing wigs. I was the same way I always felt like people were staring at my wig like really looking at them a wig, my wig sliding back is my Latian Shore. I don't know it's lifting up. It'S just like I get it, I get it, but this should help ease some of that tension. You guys, I help you guys be more comfortable with wearing your wigs outside, especially if the lace issue in the grids, because I know like that's what all the memes are on Instagram I'm like. I can see that a little screen door. I can see the screen door and you're part, but you're not going to be able to see it with this yeah. So let me show you guys exactly how I apply it and I like to use my tweezers to get it off, because sometimes, if you use your hand, it balls up around each other and then the sides get stuck to each other and when they get stuck To each other, it's really hard to get them apart, so I started off and then just pull it off and be really careful like this okay, so I have my head in my part, I'm going to go ahead and take it and I like to do it. The longer way, I'm just going to put it in place and kind of like press it in and then it'll look something like this and then I'm going to add one more just because this part is kind of long, I'm going to add one more behind it. So I know Nadia eyes are playing like that's too light. For me, this is too light for me too, but that's okay, just take your foundation like you, normally would and go ahead and tap it right on top I'll show you guys in a minute. So I put it on, and sometimes you can kind of see like the ins like the square part, so I'm gon na go ahead and round those out and what I mean by round them out. I'M just going to cut like make this part rounder, I'm gon na cut the edges off. I just peel a little bit of the corner down and then I take the scissors and I cut it. You guys can see now it has like this arch to it. It'S not just square anymore, so when you put it on it'll kind of like do the curve of the top of your forehead instead of having like this square patch, if that makes sense, so now I'm going to go ahead and reply it on the ticket out Show you guys what it looks like where you don't sleep around. You wouldn't change me. You got the same. You wouldn't change Osby, my never okay! Let'S so I am done. You guys see what it looks like in the natural light. This is what it looks like inside the house. I do have all of my lightening things on lighting, it lights hitting lightning and things on. You guys know it's bright in here um, and this is what it looks like in here. It still looks super good inside and outside, and you cannot see the grids in my party guys so yeah. I hope this gives somebody the confidence that they needed to rock a wig and not be scared of the screen door in the middle of their part, but yeah. I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you're not subscribed, go ahead and hit that subscribe button. It'S a little notification veil, so you're notified every time. I post. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I love you guys and I'll see you in my next one

Lovely Bryana: Hi loves! If you want a super close up 4K shot here’s a pic I linked! https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyTbUu5R302_hKE67V4AaABCQ?app=desktop
Butterscotchchick: This would be a good idea for syntheticas too because those are the main ones with the screen doors in the parts. Hahahaha.
Pure Estrogen: This looks really good!
enkayar: I swear black hair influencers should run the government... the innovation and the resourcefulness!!!
Joy Deja King: She is the best!! She’s like the girl in the neighborhood everyone wants to be friends with because she has the best tips, clothes, hair...everything. And I absolutely love those blue nails
Fae Rae Hudspeth: Thank you so much, this yt woman is learning so much from all you generous, talented and fabulous Black women!
jahdorna grant: I definitely remember you making that video and all the wig tricks like the spray tan method and the wig grip... You deserve more credit girl.
Taylor Janay Manigoult: if u think this is my real hair you’re crazy. so real. that’s what it was like growing up black, u got braids one day and then white kids b like “Oh my god- your hair grew 10 inches!” no it really didn’t
Dana Howard: I love that you are real personable and laid back about the whole insecurity some people have with wearing a wig.. You're very relatable.. Sometimes we think we're the only one feeling a certain type of way or going through somethin'' with their hair.. But The way you explained everything was just like talking to one of your girlfriends. Very good video!
Scorpia of Rose: Thank you! You young ladies are geniuses with these wigs! So creative!
Sweet P'zzz: I swear you have the most refreshing music playing....always. Thank you!
Sylvir Foxx: I can tell y'all didn't watch the video and LISTEN. Use foundation that works for you so the tape matches..... like she SAID and DID in the video.
charlieann82: I was crazy for a long time. Before youtube I never knew that African American’s wore wigs/ had braids installed. I always thought that it was their real hair and always went to the salon to have their hair done. I was like...why didn’t God give me beautiful hair like that?!?! Disclaimer: I have thin and fine hair. Like for real— monkey hairs! When I finally woke up and learned I ran out and got extensions. African American hair care is far superior to anything the white community offers. At least for my hair type. All I ever see is white girls with a head full of perfect , thick as horse hair HAIR! I. Don’t. Have. That. Never will. Thanks for the post beautiful!❤️
Anna Love: The grid looks like a hair follicle transplant in process . Thank you for this idea! ✨
Butterscotchchick: I have seen other people use the scar silicone tape before, but I do agree this thinner one is way better. LMAO at "The screen door in the middle of the part."
Tasheena Smith: Yeah I like my wigs to look natural. It took me a long time to even try wigs I was scared to because in high school some boys use to pull girls wigs off as a joke
jerriandfriends: If you could do a video about laying the sides/closer to the ear tabs when wearing wigs with elastic bands, I'd appreciate so much! I have gotten it down around cutting the right length and sewing it into my wigs but I can never get the side to lay flat even though the middle part of my wigs won't budge bc of the band
Vicki Rosato: Thanks so much I have just this morning received my first human hair wig so I have no idea where to start to make it look more real so thanks for the tips it's very much appreciated ♥️
Pat J: Thanks for such a great tip. I love your name for the grids, screen door. I never thought about it but that's exactly what the grids look like. This units looks amazing on you.
joileprincess: Like you, I've used silicone tape from Amazon. I've had success with the Cicatape brand for more than a year now. Its thin and priced well. I also trim the edge with pinking shears to help with blending the edge.
Brii Brii: I'm mad late but I tried this on one of my lace front wigs and it actually looks so much better!! Love the video gorgeous.
Jasmine Harp: I wish you would of gotten closer so we could see the before and after vividly.
Nycole Greer: You always give great advice. I need to try this because I am still learning how to make the wigs look natural.
Renee B. Joseph: This method definitely works. I like the tip about rounding out the end of the tape.
Hailee Camacho: I have a closure sew in rn and I was feeling soo insecure because I've never worn lace before and I didn't want everyone to know. I am so happy I found this. Thank you- you're a blessing.
Tina White: Awesome idea, girl!! I always love the things you come up with! Do you have, by chance, a solution for the big holes of a non-hd frontal? the lace isn't fine at all and shows extreme on my forehead which is a dead giveaway of my wig. I am so light, that these damn holes don't blend in. :(
Thaigan Lee: yes black woman stay inventing, innovating but not taking the legal steps. start your own business and make your tape, but first patent the idea.
DipN2it Creations: I don’t care if you know if I’m wearing a wig either, stare on♀️ It’s My Business. I can tell a wig a mile away so if this tactic fools me I’ll try it
cassochinadoll: For anyone who needs to know, that product she showed will get rid of hypertrophic scars and keloids. I used it on my c-section scar and was pleasantly surprised.
Ciera King: Lol “so what. I have a wig!”
Tokewa Sproulls: Thank you Bryana! I just placed my order. I know all about that scar away. I used it as well. Very thick,but I think you made a great discovery!
JAYMONROE JAYMONROE: SHE FAVOR ERICA MENA THO‼️
Kimberly Cushenberry: Great info! Thanks! I have a few Wowafrican wigs and I absolutely love the quality but their wigs are too big for my head. Even if I get the size s/m...I wish they would make an actual small size wig 19’/20’...I know there is a custom option which takes more time and may Cost more more.
Carrie Burch: This such a great idea. I’ve noticed the grids on others and to me, it takes away from the beauty of the wig. Thank you for sharing!
solarLola: Lol it’s sold out .. smh you wig wearing people beat me to it again
Khadijah Cooper: Yes to this, since covid I have been doing my own wigs and this is a hack! love it!
Beauty And Brains: Yes, lace that I don't have to do my math homework with.
Latisha Brown: That is one beautiful wig. I can't afford to spend $366.00 in the middle of a pandemic. It's so beautiful . I'm getting depressed just looking at it.
Lolly: Ugh! You’re amazing! You always have tips and tricks I’ve never seen!
Blessing Nneji: Thank you so much for showing us this. I no longer have to kill myself trying to find a fake scalp wig I can afford. Just tape this bad boy on
Ariel Shikoba: Damn! The finish didn't look like a wig at all! Great tutorial
Tilly Tay: I’ve tried the scar away before on a herhaircompany lace closure and didn’t like it cuz it was noticeable still. I remember when you did this video years ago. Maybe it will work on a lace that’s thinner than herhaircompanys
Iyabo Akinruli: omg you're a genius for thisssss...like a hair scientist or something!
Rhonda Seward: That part is AMAZING!
Valouexx Popeline: Lol"i found s cheaper option,i dont know about the scars but for wig sis"My Kind Of People
Kim: Wow. Thank you for the tutorial. I just got three units that I’m not happy with. I’m going to try it.
MsShannaK: Girl you are everything. In every way :) love following your channel :) thanks for sharing !!!
Jazzy Jaz: This is amazing definitely utilizing and subscribing
Drastic Designer: Daaaaamnmnnn girl! You just changed my game. Just ordered some!

ladyblue Carter: Omg thank you so much for sharing this video. You are genius woman.
Ms. Mommie: This came out beautifully. I bought scar away because of you so now I'll have to try this too. I want my wig right because of me. I've had family members not like my blonde wigs. LOL I never GAF about ppl knowing I have a wig on either. Mind your business not my hair/wigs.
Jay W: Could you do this around the perimeter where the baby hairs are? Thank you for sharing!!
Robin Selvey: Bry, can you tell me how I can work into the hairline a widow's peak (WP)? I have a natural WP and would like that added when laying my wig in place simply to make to look even more realistic for me.
Allie Luv: at first I wasn't impressed, but I have to say that's freaking awesome!
beautymosaic: This is a great idea.. I've used tan colored jean patches in the past. Excited to try this !
Christian Mosi: As selfish as this sound take this down and patten the tape this is brilliant!
Dante Velasquez: Nice! not only that the description on amazon says they can be washed and re-used :-)
Darlene Pointer: I love how you keep it real. Comfortable with who you are. Love it.
qtpie3339: I was just telling someone earlier how you inspired me to try this method before. I got my tape from amazon as well but I wasn’t impressed with my results. Might as well try again since I still have it

khandie_s journey: can we have a quick shout out to those nails!!!! THAT COLOUR IS FIRE!!!
Anissha Blackwell: You're a genius, beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial.
UNIQUE MONIQUE: Oh snap I swear before you even applied the wig ive seen the difference its crazy how the littlest things can make a difference
Hope Wiley: Very nice and absolutely love the way you did the baby hairs. I'm not opposed to the extra ones, but yours look really nice and natural.
Forever Newlywed: Thanks a bunch! This is the first time I've heard someone point out this specific problem/solution
Kaleb Mitchell: You went awf! So pretty, what wig?! Looks so natural
A W: Thank you!!! I always wear rooted colors and I pull my front hair out for lace front or U-part. I can always see that "screen door" Can you put concealer on the knots under the lace to "bleach" the knots and then put the tape on top of the knots? Would it stick? Maybe if I used a hair dryer over top of the tape after placing it that might help.
Rhonda Seward: I ordered these after this video. They are great!
Tiffany Walker: Sometime my rigs look better without a wig cap so this will help
Heather Edwards: This has been a life changing hack. Thank you SO much!

Ericka Dates: Nice, yes I’m going to try this ...this was a major struggle for me ! Lol Thank you.!
Ciara McKinley: This is my first time installing the wig and I had a question, are you supposed to put the foundation on before the bandage or after?? And if it’s before do you apply it to the bandage or the lace??
Ieasha Robinson: Silly goose here going left field...im still upset the one earing wasn't on purpose. The look grew on me and i was like "yeah, one large hoop kjnda fire" frfr. Then u found other oneI was ready to ride that wave!
BubblesOnTheBlock: I just got a beautiful wig from TheHairExtensionGuru.com but it needed a little customization and I'm not hair savvy... you saved my birthday
DeAnna Monet TV: Awesome hack! Thanks for sharing
