That way, you can be notified of my upcoming videos and if you aren't new, thank you so much for joining me for today's video and let's jump right into this video tip number one. Do you pre-style? Do you have the right wig? The first thing you want to make sure is that any wig that you're installing looks natural. I like to pre-style all of my wigs, so this wig that i'm working with today, i already cut the lace. I have already bleached the knots and i've already added some beautiful curls to it. I will be sure to link this wig below in the description box. If you would like to check it out, it does come in this length in this cut. I always make sure that the wigs that i work with the hairline is natural and the lace melts it's very important. If you want a realistic, looking wig tip number two: what color wig cap do you use step two would be to make sure you are using the correct, color wig cap, i use a new color wig cap underneath my wigs or i use a stocking now. The stocking is more for the ball cap and the wig cap is more for convenience. You should never wear a black wig cap under your wig. The goal here is to use this to look like scalp and if you don't have a scalp look, then your wig can't look realistic. So choose the color wisely tip 3. How do you get the scalp look under your wig now you can use a regular wig cap for this, like i showed, or you can create the ball cap method. For me, i like to use the ball cap method if i'm using wig glue. Now i like to use this adhesive spray for my ball cap, because i find that it holds it down well and it's easier to get out of my hair a lot of times. People use the glue. I don't like using the glue for this, because i want my hairline okay, so my tip would be to definitely use the spray instead because it does dissolve with water tip four. How do i use the ball cap to protect my hairline from glue now? I specifically use this only when i'm using wig glue because a lot of times i do not place the wig on my hairline. I place it on my forehead, so i like to use the ball cap to protect my hairline. That way, when i go to install my wig, i'm never placing that wig glue on my hairline. It'S on the cap, alright! So at this point you want to remove the extra stocking from around your forehead and only keep the area. That'S glued down onto your head. Now there is a tip people like to do with this. If they find that the cap doesn't match their hair, they usually take makeup and apply it all over the cap. Now, if you do this, it will make the cap blend seamlessly with your forehead. However, if you don't like all the makeup and the mess, i'm going to show you a tip in a second, i conceal the cap from showing tip five. Is your hairline too oily and is your wig lifting clean your forehead area? Now i do not recommend using alcohol because it does cause a white line around the head over time, so i would use a little bit of soap or water or just water itself get rid of any oil if you are using wig loose. That is very important to make sure there is no oils on your forehead tip five: how to protect your hairline and get a flawless install when it comes to using wig glue. You definitely want to make sure that you are protecting your natural hairline. I cannot stress that enough. The ball cap, as you can see, is going to sit in front of my hairline and i'm going to place that wig hairline in front of that wig cap. So it's not touching my hairline, so i'm just placing the wig and making sure it's lined up where i need it to go, and then i'm going to put the adhesive on my forehead. The best tip i have ever given was to make sure that you are in front of your hairline and not on your hairline when it comes to these wig adhesive glues, because a lot of them are very hard to get out of the hair. So if you are a person who have a lower hairline, you may want to consider just using the wig spray instead of the actual glue, because it's a lot easier to remove. Now when it comes to the wig glue, i only apply to the forehead area. As you can see, i have enough space to be away from my actual hairline now for the sides. The best tip i can give you is, if you have sideburns, make sure to use the wig adhesive spray, it's going to be easier to get out of your hair tip. Six. Is your wig not sticking correctly when you are placing that lace, make sure that hairline is pulled back, make sure you don't have a lot of hair on that hairline with the glue the biggest mistake i see, people making is not pushing their hairline back and the Hair gets stuck in the glue. If you want a good hold remember this. The wig glue is not meant to stick to hair, it's meant to stick to the lace, so the more lace that you are able to press into that glue, the longer your hole will be and the better your hairline will look. Now. Look at the hairline on this wig. It'S absolutely gorgeous! That'S why i love the super pre-plucked hair lines, because you don't need to do any plucking, but if you need to is definitely recommended for the best install i'm going to follow that up with my slay band and tie down this hairline. This band has been amazing, for my wig application has changed the way my wig install looks the way my lace melts, so it definitely is a must for every wig application for me, so i'm just going to let that sit for at least 20 minutes the longer The better actually, however, it does not need no more really than 15 to 20 minutes. If you don't have the time that you need, and it's good for you know working out. If you sweat a lot, it can hold that wig in place, so the hairline won't lift tip seven. Do you clean up that hairline after you install all right so now that we have let that hairline sit? It looks amazing at this point. You can set your parting and we're going to move into the tips for just cleaning up that hairline to make sure that there is no lace showing a lot of times. People create baby hairs to prevent this, but if you are not a person who, like baby hairs, is perfectly fine. There are other options you can do to make sure that your wig is looking its best around that hairline. Now, with this wig, it does have that good lace that is very thin, so it's not visible. However, if there are pieces of lace that are you know showing that may not have been glued down, especially if it's a reinstall, this can happen, make sure you clip those pieces so that when your head is up or in the sunlight, you don't have little strings Of lace, showing, i feel like the lace, is very important when it comes to your wig application and how natural your wig look and with this wig, like i said you get that really nice lace that melts into the skin now going back to the ball cap. Sometimes, if you don't use makeup, if you don't like to use makeup to cover up the line, there is a separation. So what i like to do, if my cap is showing, is i take a little bit of root, touch up, hair color that matches the wig and spray right in front of that hairline. Do not let this touch the lace you just want to spray the hair. So that it covers where the line is showing from the actual wig cap - and that has been the best tip - i have done it's very easy. It'S simple because sometimes you can glue your wig down and find that this happens, and then you don't want to have to take it all off again just to do it over. So this saves the day. Basically, and if you are still with me in my video right now, go ahead and drop me them heart emojis. Thank you guys. So much for your continued support and your love. I love you all tip number eight and the last tip is match your scalp honey, set that parting with a color that matches your scalp and not your forehead.
