Style Icon Lace Front Yaki Wig 24" Straight Synthetic Hair - Amazon Uk - Wig Styling (11 Jan 20

So hi so um, i'm working on the style, icon. Wig remember last week, when i cut the lace i left some tabs here because i said i wanted to put a wig band or an elastic band to secure it from the back, because i don't normally wear hair. I don't use hair gel um or glue. So i need the bands really to help the wig stay flat and secure without having the lace lift up now. One thing i'm not very pleased about with this wig is you remember, i said the construction hat seems to have two layers and because of that, when you look at it i'll show you from so you can see the difference. So imagine that that's my forehead, the big difference there at the front of the lace. So i'm going to look at how i can remedy that as well, and it might be that i probably either i'll use some white um, some white um, pencil eye, pencil or something here and then try and see if i can blend the blend with foundation so That they are the same color, more or less um yeah. It looks to me that i'll need - perhaps i might need to put the white in front here and then blend, because this is quite lighter compared to my skin tone, so yeah. So i'm going to go away and then um, i will come back when i've sewn the wig band and this is going to be a simple affair. You'Ve seen there are tutorials, so i'm not going to do a tutorial on how to sew a wig band, but i have a wig band. I think i've used from a previous wig and i literally just measure stitch it on the sides. I'Ll look at where my lace ends on this wig and yeah work on it. So it's likely that the lace the band will go somewhere. There tutorial actually associated to count three, so one two three and then so here, so i think i'll. Try that yeah all right bye! Sorry, you guys, i think i don't know if i'm being too pedantic, but can you see here the difference yeah the big difference between the lace and the edge and it's leaving a very funny line here, which i can't seem to blend? I mean i've tried um, i've tried blending with uh, i hope i'm holding the camera steady with foundation, but it just will not go away and it seems like the more i try to blend. This is difficult loads of it. The more i try to blend the more it stands out so see it's almost like you'd need to put the see. It still leaves that mark it's almost like. You need to stick it down or something which is a shame. I think what i'm going to do is i'm going to cut this bit here. I'Ll cut a notch there into like a v shape. I don't know just so that it can blend this bit here and i hope i don't ruin the wig in the process, but i might put some fabric glue if it starts to come apart. Yeah then i'll show you how it looks right, i'm just showing you the style, icon, wig, that's the one that that came in this packet, and this is the one i love the textures, like you know, proper um, afro type hair like that has been blown out. So this is what happened i had to i used fabric glue yeah. I used some fabric glue because - and i then held it down with these two clips. So let's see what happened. Oh thank god. I don't know, i don't know anyway i'll. Let you be the judge, that's what it looks like, but you see what i'm what i said. There'S that gaping thing there i tried putting foundation it didn't work anyway. Let'S wear it and see how it looks. You guys tell me what you think i'll just put the clips. I like this wig i'll wear it. I don't care, but don't don't do what i did just i don't know they could have made it better, but and for that reason this wig has gone down from four and a half. I can't remember what i gave it four and a half. I think it's gone down now to i'll give it a three and a half because of the front of the wig. Is everything it's? What makes it look? You know authentic, but this case it is ruined all right. Let'S see, please please please work. I really like this week. Oh what a mess please be! Gentle with yours, don't um be hard with it, like i'm being right now, there's a few things i want to discuss about this week that i that i find annoying. Let'S just stick it on the head. First properly, then i'll tell you so. First of all, it is if, if you have a huge head circumference, if it big head - which i thought i was but this wig will fit, you there's plenty of room. Okay, so there's plenty of room to the point where there's this bulkiness here i don't know if it's showing i'll do a 360 and then you tell me if it's showing or i'll put a comment below, if i see so ah i'll, just give it a brush. I will say it's less prone to tangling compared to the other one, so this can only be a good thing, see what's happening here. So do you see there's a black thing there? The inside of the wig is showing, which is not good. So i think this you probably you could get away just stick. Some i've got to be glue or something i need to. I might sew it down. I mean, like i just like saw this bit here. Just attached like a, i don't know yeah yeah. Actually, i could sew it down and then just cover it up with um foundation. Couldn'T i yeah, let's try that i'll come back i'll. Do that and come back, don't ask. I know it looks good, but there's a lot of pandemic hair wizardry that has gone into this. Ah, what i'll say to you when you buy this wig, do not - and i repeat, do not do what i did just cut. The lace like i did in the first instance and then do a side parting like this. It will be perfect. Okay, i love it now. I love it and this is how it will be worn. Um. It just works. Well, there's no um glue! This is sorry. I'M looking at the screen, that's why i look like i'm looking in the mirror. There'S no glue is this: the um headband that i've used now the only problem with this wig. I say because it's big these tabs usually would be here, and i don't know if, whether it's because i'm wearing glasses, let me see no even without glasses. The tabs come over. My would have to cover like this side comes there. So i'm having to fold it up like that and then fold the other one up like that and put my hair over, and i don't know whether i should just cut them off, but i'm scared. If i cut it, something else will go wrong with this wig and i i like it the way it is this is this is perfect. Now this i can wear this and go out and i won't feel conscious. This is good. This is really good yeah. This is good. I am interview ready, disc, already date, ready it's not bad, not bad at all. Ah style, icon, i've learnt my lesson. Okay, it's good hair! Don'T mess with it. Just cut the lace. Do a side part. I i've just dabbed a little bit of foundation and that's fine. It actually looks like you slicked your hair down, so don't mess with it and um. Actually i haven't tested. Should i do a heat test? Should i okay i'll, do a heat test right? I'Ve come back with my um tongs, which i haven't used for a very long time. I think, almost two years. I hope it still works. So this thing, according to my notes, it says it can. You can use heat up to 180 degrees centigrade. So this is a so that says it's 180, so it's ready. I don't know if i can make it lower. Oh, it goes lower. Okay, i'm gon na go for the 160 160, the lowest setting. I don't want it to burn my right. So, let's test a hair, the back here squeeze right in the back here and see because if it works, then i'm going to use um. I want to bump down here to flatten it okay. So here we go yeah, i wouldn't go higher than 180, because this thing is smoking. Already you see wow yeah, i wouldn't go all higher than 160. yeah, so it works. It can take heat. Let me see if you can curl it. Please don't burn all right. No okay right, i'm gon na turn this off and take it off the plug, and then let's try this thing: uh wand right! I don't know how hot this thing gets, but i hope it doesn't burn my hair right and what i want to do is literally just to flatten to flatten this bit here. So it goes a bit more just just here all right, let's see how it works. Turn this on, i thought this. I think i've used this once okay, it's on okay, it's on! Oh, it's dusty! Oh, my god! It hasn't been used for a long. While, how can i clean it i'll just put it on my leggings. This is a bit of dust. Oh, i haven't used it for ages, all right. Let'S heat it up, let's heat it up all right, it's heating! So i'll! Never use this thing, i'm not what i like. Let me try and bump here watch your forehead when you're doing this don't burn your forehead. Is that in work, this wand is very it's not doing it hard enough. Sorry, that's not gon na. Do let's try something different! Oh my god. I think i'll put this on a very low setting, so i'm gon na go back to the tongs and see how we do with that turn that, on turn, the heat right down up here down to 140. got it heats up quickly, open it and then see. If i can, okay i'll take that chunk there, like that yeah that works, this is how people make a mess of their their wings just doing small bits, because i don't want a disaster, and here so here this bump here is because i've got a oh. No. I thought because i had a cornrow underneath: okay, oh wow, so this is at uh. I'Ve put it at 1 40 because i didn't want to risk any mishaps 140 centigrade. I'M in england we tend to use centigrade here. Then i'll. Just do this one a little bit just to uh the pandemic drama is where people become i'm, not a wig wing dress. We go logist, i'm just experimenting so literally just showing you that these things, i think you just need to watch enough videos and just experiment. Take a bit of risk if you don't want to take risk, go to a hairdresser. If you can find one, let me see this tab there, i'm going to cut it off. It performs just like real hair. Let me i like we're friends again. I can live with that so yeah. What do you think this is not bad? Is it that's the tracks, that's how it's quite uh thin on the ground. Literally, i've looked, you can't see the tracks, but you, i think, because of the tracks overlapping, but i think they could have done with putting a bit more hair. I am so happy with this to work nicely without any issues. So i'll turn this off and then i will i'll do a 360 for you, so i'm taking it out of 360.. So we'll attack behind like that and see. If this one can go. It'S a lot fuller at the front this week compared to the back and it might just be hold it back. So i'll put a hair grip over here like that hope it holds right. You can still see them yeah, okay, so we'll do a 360. uh and then i'll give you a what it looks like from there. That'S not too bad the parting. Is it yeah, so don't cut it don't do what i was attempting to do. So just do a side part and it will work out. Fine, all right, bye,
