Transforming My Old Lace Front Amazon Wig Into A U-Part Curly Bob Wig + Watch Me Blend My Leave Out

Everybody welcome back to my youtube channel. Today'S video is going to be a wine transforming my old crunchy Amazon wig that I've had probably for about a year now, and it's just been sitting up in my storage. It just looked very dull, like it had no chance and beach revitalizing it, but I shampooed and conditioned it with my dove line and it came back to life. So I actually transformed that wig into a so in with leave out, because my hair is very sensitive when it comes to glues or like sprays and stuff. So I can't really wear the lace fronts anymore, unfortunately, but I wanted to have a protective style for my curly hair. So that way I didn't have to put heat on it. So that's why I chose to revitalize this curly wig and just have my leave out up top yeah. I really like how it turned out. I cut it into like this bob a little bit and yeah. I think my hair blends really well. If you have a different hair texture than me and your hair is more coarse, I would suggest getting doing this on like a more kinky or wig and then it'll blend better, so yeah. I hope you guys liked this video and don't forget to subscribe. Like comment, let me know what you think and yeah: let's get right into this video alright guys. So here is the Amazon wig that we are going to be transforming today. As I told you in my intro that this wig has been sitting in storage for about a year, so it definitely needs some TLC. As you can see, it is a lace front and we're going to be cutting that off so that we can use it as a sewing alright. So the first step is me taking out this so that way I can cornrow my hair okay. So I'm doing a side part with this, so in so go ahead and just kind of see where you want your part to be so that way, you can braid around that section. Once you have your side, part or middle part, whatever part you're doing done, you want to go ahead and start to take some hair out around the perimeter of your hairline. This is just going to make it look more natural, and so you can cover up where you sew the wig on once you have that perimeter, sectioned off, go ahead and braid it down. So that way, it's just out of the way and you don't accidentally braid it up with another section of your hair. Next, I'm just sectioning off the hair, that's going to be surrounding my part. This is also going to cover up where you sew the wig on you, don't want to take too much hair out and you don't want to take too little. I would just say: take a medium portion or just look at how much I take out, because if you take too much, it's not going to blend that well. But if you take too little, it's not going to cover up the wig like you want it to. Next, you want to take some hair out from the front perimeter of your hair. This is just going to help blend in the wig. More because say the wind blows you're going to want to have your hair right there. So that way it blends in and you won't be able to see where you sewn the wigglin, now that we have our leave out sectioned off we're going to be using some braiding hair to create our anchor braids. The only reason that I use braiding hair is because I want my anchor braids to be strong and secure, because these are the braids, where we're actually going to sew the wig on you want them to be strong. So that way, you have a good foundation when sewing on the wig. I'M just gon na continue to section off some hair around where we braid it down or leave, because the anchor braids are going to be surrounding the leave out pieces. You'Re, just gon na need a small piece of braiding hair. You don't want too much because you don't want it to be bulky, so just go ahead and take that braiding, hair and start to braid down your anchor braids around your leave out section. Now, I'm just going to section off my anchor braid on the opposite side and start to cornrow down as well all right. So this is how everything is looking. I'M gon na go ahead and start to cornrow the rest of my hair off camera because those can just be normal, cornrows, nothing special, so I'm just gon na be right back in one. Second, all right, my hair is all cornrow down. My parts are not need to put these cornrows, please don't judge as long as they're flat, and you know all put down, they don't really have to be parted neatly. So please don't mind. Here'S how my wig looks after I shampooed and conditioned it with the Dove line. If you're interested in seeing my thoughts on that curly hair line, please check out my video here. I did a cold review on the line and look at these curls. This wig is brought back to life, so let's go ahead and install it. So I put the wig on just to see where I wanted to cut the part, so just go ahead and try on and see where you want your part to be. You want it to match up where you already parted your hair off, so we're just going to take our scissors and literally make one cut on that part. We just made on our way if you cut more than that, it's going to be too wide of a gap, so just make one cut: here's how it looks after we made that one cut now just go ahead and try the wig back on it, so that You can see if you need to make any additional cuts like you may want to cut some off the back. So that way it just is going to Snug your head. Once you sew the wig one, I'm going to take my thread and needle and start to sew the wig on to my anchor braid you're, literally just going to sew it around the perimeter of your anchor braid. So that way it is all secure. You see this little flap right here. You can either cut that off or just tuck it under and keep sewing down. One thing that I didn't do in this video, but I highly recommend is to do a anchor braid at the bottom perimeter of your head, like towards the back, because you want to sew that down. I didn't make a braid specifically for this, but I definitely would just sew is secure in the back as well. Now, for the fun part we're going to start cutting our hair. So we want to make sure that it's wet, because I find that it's easier to cut hair when it's wet so make sure your hair is wet by using a spray bottle. Now go ahead and section off the back portion of your hair into a ponytail. Then we're going to take our scissors and start cutting upwards in an angle, because this is just going to give us a even cut for that Bob. Look now that we've cut the back portion off we're going to start cutting the front portion at an angle. I want the bangs side to be longer than the side. That'S on my ear, so just go ahead and cut it at an angle to your desire. The good thing about cutting curly hair is that it doesn't have to be exactly precise, but you can still get that angled. Look that you're going for once. You'Ve cut your hair off how you want it, go ahead and take out your leave out pieces just to check them out and we're going to prepare them to start blending in so first we're going to be using some eco styler gel to braid our leave out Pieces, this is just going to give it a nice crinkly texture and make it easier for blending. When we wake up in the morning, then just put a scarf on your hair to keep everything smooth, it's good to just sleep with a scarf every day, really because it's good for your hair and reduces breakage hi guys it's the next day, I'm going to be Showing you how I blend my leave out and prepare it for the day. Take your spray bottle and re wet the wig hair, don't rewatch your natural hair, just free, wet the wig and to make sure that it is moist, so you can have them curls pop. In for the rest of the day, I'm going to be taking my dove leave-in conditioner, just to revamp my curls and give them some more moisture. Next, you want to go ahead and start on braiding your leave out pieces, so we can start to blend those in today. I'M going to be using some of the edge wax Murray's edge wax. Is my favorite I'm going to use that to start laying down my hair and my edges go ahead and just apply the edge wax on your edges and lay down your baby hairs to your desire like this. These bobby pins right here are definitely going to be your friend when it comes to blending and your real hair with the wig, because it's just gon na help you tuck in your hair and so that way the difference becomes unnoticeable. So you see how I'm grabbing the front portion of my leave out. I'M just gon na take that lift up the curly hair tuck it under and then place a bobby pin, and that way it's going to be unnoticeable of the difference. You just want to keep repeating that, with all the sections of your leave out pieces, making sure that you tuck them in around your hair, where you put that anchor braid just make sure that you're tucking it under. So that way, you can't tell the difference and it just blends seamlessly you. You can also add some edge control around your part so that it is just smooth and you can tame those flyaways. Here'S how it looks once everything is blended in it looks very natural. If you have a more coarser texture than me, then you may want a more kink, your wig, to make it blend better but yeah. I love this natural look and it's a good protective style. As well, alright guys, I hope you enjoyed this video, please remember, to give it a thumbs up. It really helps out my channel.
