::||:: My 1St Full Lace Wig By Apexhair (Apex Hair) Body Wave Ii & First Timer Tips::||::

And again: lace: wigs, i love it, i'm addicted it's so fun and i hope people don't think i'm like betraying the natural hair or, if i'm hiding it. I guess technically, i am hiding it, but i really really do like this. I really really do don't know what to do with this baby. Hair here looks like a mini bang, which i'm not feeling but again um for first time application. This i would on a scale of one to ten. I would give this application a four or four meaning that on a scale of one to ten, that is wearable outside okay, not perfect by any means decent. But i know that there are a lot of things i want to change for next time and i don't know how much time i have left in this video, so i didn't put the timer up so now i'm going to get into that right now. Some of the things i wish someone had told me directly before putting on my first lace: wig. I think i'll make another video for that. Okay, but just i made a list here because i get off track really easily and i forget something so other than that. No, you know what why not we'll get into the lace now, okay, just really quickly, something that i learned by force again. Is that really measure your head and know the measurements of the leaf? I feel like, though i measured my head and it felt like. I was about one in i can't i got the standard medium i feel like my head was about one inch bigger and i thought well it'd be okay. I'M gon na look at what the large size cap dimensions didn't do that before it went this way. So i feel, like my sides, can't really reach down, especially on the my right all the way down the way it should like it's really snug and really kind of struggling to get it to line up where it should be. So one is to really measure, especially if you're ordering online and not doing custom, wigs, okay, two bleached knots, my sister who's, also into wigs and that's one who's natural, the other one. She kind of broke it down to me and i don't know what i was thinking. I don't know what happened. I don't even know if i remember when i ordered this wig if it was bleached or not, but you definitely want bleached knots and if you don't know what i'm talking about when the wig is the lace wig is processed. Basically, the the hair is tied into is knotted in to the lace. So you have these little. If the hair's dark you'll see these little black knots at the end of each strand, and it does not look very natural and i noticed it, i think they did it around the perimeter, because i noticed it definitely a lot more on the inside and i'm like. Oh no, like now that i want to like part it every which way. Um, you know it's it's a little visible and it's it's annoying. So yeah i get bleach knots, but i'm actually gon na bleach. This myself, i saw some videos. It'S really simple. I'M gon na bleach it myself also when it comes to scalp color a little darker than what you think you may are what you think you are. I know i'm pretty i'm dark skinned and i got a beige cap thinking that okay, your scalp, is a little lighter. It'S um a little too light in person. Uh just wasn't really filling up the next time we're gon na go with like this. I think they called it suntan what i have here in my local store and i used a stocking cap. No, i used a stocking that i made into a cap. The big thing that i learned during this application process is two and it may seem simple for people. So please excuse me if it sounds simple: okay, but you wan na apply tape and or your ultra hold or liquid adhesive only to the places where the weight is going to go. Simple sounds like it's common sense, but i don't know what i did. My tape was all around here and the wig. I only put it like halfway on it, so it was like it was tape beyond the lace wig it just looked really really bad and um you. Definitely you really want to be exact. You you need to have precision in applying this so again, and i actually saw on some woman's video to it's a good idea to place the ring on before any adhesive. Okay, put your wig cap on, and just kind of, maybe with the eyeliner mark, with a pen a mark with a marker mark with your eyeliner or something wear like maybe like three or four dots around your perimeter like where's the maximum place. You want it to go that way. You know, do not put any tape beyond the area and the wig should not be beyond that area. Big thing i did not realize making a world of difference. That'S why i was able to give myself a four today: okay, um and i think that's about it. Those are the things that i really caught me was the size. I think i got something that's a little too small, the color of the wig cap. You definitely want to go darker next time, put glue and tape only where you want the weight to be do not extend it anywhere else. Oh and also it's okay - and i didn't know this and the reason i had trouble and that glue and tape extended beyond the wig is because i didn't want to get any of the glue and adhesives on my hair. Unless you i mean my hairline comes pretty far forward, i think, and unless you're gon na you know, trim your edges, um you're gon na it's gon na have to go on your hair, okay, and what i did i kind of especially want to use my tape. I actually overlap the tape and the ultra hold over my skin, some of my baby hair and onto the lace wig okay onto the wig cap. Excuse me onto the wig cap. So if you can imagine - and as i get better and better i'll, maybe do a tutorial, but right now there's so many people who are good out there. There'S no point in me doing it. So i would put my wig cap on. I would put my layer of vulture hold on my skin and some of the baby hair make my baby hair, maybe make it under the glue and also put tape. The tape would go like halfway onto my skin halfway onto the wig cap and then seat everything down, and basically i mean if you use a correct, remover, there's. No, you know you really should not be losing baby hair, your own personal, natural, baby hair. I, when i took off the tape and adhesives that i did horrendously on monday again, i used my pur and i'm sure you can also use baby oil and stuff too, but i did usually i'm gon na have to get a lot of this um and i Just be patient with it and carefully just massage that oil in massage it and that tape will come off that heat the solvent the adhesives will come off, so i am mixing up my words so much so those are probably the four main things that i can Think of again the knots, the perimeter, the the size of your hair, the measurements, the tape only where it's supposed to be, and it's okay, if tape gets on to your hair as long as you use the proper adhesive remover okay, so i think that's it. For today, i'm looking for the pictures, i'm about to post right now and i'll be back over the weekend with my natural hair, hopefully looking decent, better and peace out bye, you
