Full Lace Wig ~ Custom Color & Highlights Tutorial

What it was I I have a lace weight, of course, Dolce Julie, wig that I got for myself and it is a full lace, not so based just full lace closure all the way and what I'm going to be doing is, and it came the natural color, Its Malaysian just relaxed hair 16 inches and I'm going to be coloring. It of course match my hair without having to grow and all for, like being by the way right now and I'll feel like being rather with my hair for like a minute. So I think imma be wearing a wig for life and I'm rushing, which I wish. I wasn't rushing because I have to do a lot of things tomorrow and then leave out and drive to North. So I'm going to do this really really quick, because there is really really darker than the micro link hair that I had before and I colored it with 7n I'm going to color this one with 7/8 dark ash blonde, because my hair so dark, okay, whatever what I'Ve done is I've got the mannequin here cuz. When I teach classes for Chi. I have a bunch of them. I got a mannequin head, come put a plastic cap over hurry it so that I don't get any come on hurry, yeah and then I put the wig over it and I secured it with wig um. I don't know big pins. Yes, I'm at Sally's. Why don't you just stick them in turn it so that the big doesn't move around so when you're doing there, so my there 16 inches um after I color it kind of like gon na clean it up a little bit like maybe take that off and give It a nice cut, I'm going to cut it while it's on her head or whatever. So I'm going to mix the seven a with 30 volume highlights, I'm not going to use it in four hi Liv, I'm gon na have the cheap blond is blonde and I'm going to miss 30 developer for that chin. So, first I'm going to start off by spraying some keratin myths, which I don't actually have the original bottle with me, because I rarely buy the small ones I buy. The really big 32 ounce ones - and I just put in the spray bottle because it like miss, did you get it? I love it. I'M just I miss the hair. I got a stratum. Tipper man fit, I sprayed him, I sprayed you, I'm so sorry. I sprayed your eye, I'm so sorry, do you forgive mommy? I'M sorry, Oh put that makeup brush down back in my makeup or give it give it to me. Thank you. Yes, I want that back. I'M gon na use the whole three ounces because I know I'm gon na need it bad for what are you saying? I have no idea what you're saying, if you don't have wig bins like this, then you can also use like a safety pin like the big ones and then stick it in and it's actually kind of cool because the other part of 50, they don't actually hold A lace style for you to be able to do what you want what you need to do so, I'm going to start my application in the front right hand quadrant for my application front right hand quadrant, because I wanted to start lifting first so that when I'm Finished my application all the way around I can come back and do my highlights. My Chi blonde is blonde right over the color in the front from my highlights 7a now one thing I want to make sure and one thing I'm kind of going, for which I know it's going to be crazy, but I'm kind of trying to keep a little Bit of the roots, because I think that when you keep a little bit of the roots, especially when you're doing wigs that are like blonde, it actually looks more natural. So I'm going to go for keeping some of the roots going to put it directly on like on on scalp application and bring it down to the mid down. Image have all the way down to the ends, taking about quarter of an inch subsections, because it is a cream color, and if I make sections too big, then it's going to be spotty. I won't catch all of the hair because, wherever you put, the color is what's going to change the color here. Wherever you don't put, the color there will be no change in and if you cannotice, as I'm parting through the density of this wig, is not super unrealistic thick. I wanted it tip me not too thick. I wanted it kind of to look more natural like whenever I do anything, weaves or extensions or anything, I'm always aiming for it to look natural. I never wanted to look Wiggy. I never wanted to look like the hair. Possibly cannot possibly crop my scalp like she. Don'T have hair like that. No, I wanted to look really really believable. So even with the density and the fullness of this wig, I wanted it to look very believable. Not these baby hairs, I'm going to come back and kind of grab these a little bit and just hit them up like this because remember I said I don't want to color all the way at the scalp. I want to leave a little bit of the root so that it looks more natural and I don't want to have a definite line of demarcation. You see how that that's right. There is like a definite line, so I want to kind of like brush it up. A little bit so that some of it will be dark, some of it will be light, but it won't just be like a line of demarcation, just compression in like that at the root which I guess you can actually call this the root, because the root is Actually, under the scalp, but since it's a wig, it really doesn't have a scalp and you really can't call it noot growth, because hair doesn't grow from a wig. So do my cheek blonde is blonde third volume. Now, a real nice noise consistent my first slice, I'm going to weave and remember I'm not trying to get close to the groups with these highlights, because I want to give the illusion of like your growth, like it's going out and you can lay it on pretty Nice and thick be back tomorrow. We start from the top. I have no idea why I do this because really you should start from the bottom and work your way up. Just weird. I guess this is still one of the top one. So I'm going to leave it and then I'm going to take our oh, I'm under the dryer and let her cool about ten minutes and then get it all nice and washed out and conditioned we'll be able to see. She looks like and say I'm going to do this and that and that and that so that son gets a little bit closer to the scalp so to speak because you're going to about at the same time like if you um, as I was saying, that your Hair never grows out the same length in each spot. Okay, so when I do that and just put it on it makes it look like I don't like natural hair growth, I'm going to take this class. Oh here last night I cut her hair well, her hair. My weeks here I cut my week thereafter um I had shampooed it and conditioned it before I did the Reconstructor cut it wet. So now I'm just going to towel dry it and then that's my daughter's weave in the back door here today and then I'm going to I'm going to blow dry and we're going to round brush it. So I'll record a little bit of that because I don't know seeing me: do enough round brushing in life so I'll just record a little bit of that and then after that I'll be doing the application.
