I Tried A Box Braid Lace Wig With And Without Got2B Glued | Neat And Sleek

Hi guys, I know I'm late to the braided wig party, but I'm not apologizing, because I have made a braided wig of my own in the past, with crochet braids on a cornrow cap. However, I recently got the opportunity to try out a braided wig from neat and sleek. This video is sponsored by them and I am very thankful because it's actually quite impressive. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do so here are the specs. It'S a small wig cap, size, 22, 22 inches actually 26. When you consider the feathered ends - and I did have some accessories with it, but I don't put accessories in my hair. So this is the wig and I'm gon na place it on my wig making block. So you can take a better look in the back. I do have lace, egg home adjustable straps, it's a full lace. Wig. There also is an elastic band which you can adjust to your liking in the front. There'S a lot of parking space for you to play with if you choose to buy a wig like this one, so I'm gon na cut the lace in the back with my nail scissors and we're gon na move to the front. So you can see some pretty interesting details in the front. I do have baby hairs that are braided into one long, skinny cornrow and the braids there's no defined part. So that was a little bit interesting to me. I felt like maybe they should have had a part on the side and one in the middle just in case, but all the braids are just they're staggered no actual parts, so you won't have a straight clean part on any given point. At least I haven't seen one now: I'm cutting my lace. The way I always do. We won't go into detail, but I just do tiny, tiny snips, and this is the first time that I'm wearing the wig. I removed the cornrow with a because it was that small and I am using my mousse to lay these baby hairs, which are actually very long. They seem to be about 5 inches long, so you can cut them down to whatever length you want. This is how short I had them in the beginning, I later on cut them again, because they were just too long for me, I'm not a baby hair person, but are we loving this Patra hair sound off in the comments, and let me know, but this insulation Is going to be glueless and I'll show you guys we've got to be glued. I chose to first show you guys what I always do with my units, which is put two twists one on each side and then join them together in the back, usually with a bobby pin sometimes with the scrunchie just depends on how I feel that's my go-to Hairstyle with braids, because it's very simple and with the wig that I made in the past - that's what it was like this hair does smack my butt. It is long it's like 24 to 26 in reality in inches. So here we are a few days later me wearing the unit. We'Ve got to be glued, something I don't want to do because I'm dealing with braids and I just feel like when you use these types of products. You shorten the wigs lifespan and I don't want to do that because you might end up tugging on a braid and ripping some lace, and I was very scared of that. That'S why I didn't want to use, got to be glued, but we're gon na do this. For the got to be glued wearers and I'm applying it like edge control, but with a flat brush going back and then pressing down and using a blow dryer, this takes a while like a minute, and I alternate between low heat and cool. So that way I don't burn myself and I make sure I can feel it tightening now. It looks really good, but what I really was impressed with was the fact that that little braids at the very bottom of the sideburn actually sticks right there and makes it so that your week is at least on my forehead, the perfect size right in the front. I also had a lot of wiggle room in the back. It honestly was the perfect situation. You can have your braids a little bit too big, but it won't interfere with anything and your wig is going to come around nicely and you won't have braids in places there shouldn't be braids. So I'm using my bare minerals bare Pro pressed powder and cappuccino 27. It'S a little bit too light for me, but I like to alternate between this one and 29 to make my complexion look amazing. It'S a nice, warm medium, dark brown that I am using a fluffy brush blending brush to stipple all over except back there. I'M gon na have to tint that lace cap later, but I'm sibling it all over the lace so that I can have a nice dusted. Natural-Looking scalp - and this is what we're looking like. Everything is nice and blended. If you want detailed videos on got to be glued and wig applications, there are several tutorials on YouTube. I'Ll look for some that are very good and I'll link, maybe two down in my description box from other youtubers and I'm loving this hair. So I decided to try some hairstyles and I'm not good at hairstyles, you guys, but I did it anyway. Okay, so here is the first one and I played with the baby hair. Some more, I feel, like this length, is a little bit better than the previous one, just half-up half-down, and it is also bring it around to make a topknot bun, which I wasn't too fond of, because I think I have too big of a forehead for these Types of styles, even though I keep trying it out and you can see that the wig isn't too dense. So for those of you who don't like a heavy unit, that's too thick crochet braids tend to look crazy, scary, big. But if you don't like that, this wig is definitely, for you just make sure your braids aren't too large, especially at the base, because they might poke through and we're done like I'm just seriously done. I cannot continue. This is my before bed look and I would like to say a huge thank you for watching. If you want to check out neat and sleek information will be in the description box. I'Ll talk to you guys in my next video take care of yourselves and bye.
