With some love welcome back to my channel and if you're new hello, I'm destiny, Taylor don't forget to subscribe and turn on your notifications to join the EXO gang. As you can see from the title, I have two very easy and affordable and quick week hacks. That will make your install super easy and make them look natural, so this first hack is actually one that I picked up from YouTube. I decided to do a video on this because I worked out some of the major kinks that other bloggers are having. All you need is a bottle of do-it-yourself spray tan. The Sally Hansen leg spray is most popular for this method, I'm using the deepest shade deep glow any spray tan that is water resistant, won't work. The only thing I can say about this one is: it has quite a bit of glitter in it, so I do suggest trying to find one that doesn't have much shimmer preparation for this method is key. It'S best to use a flat surface. You can never tell what the range will be with the spray is so to protect my table, I'm using some plastic bags. I had laying around the house and I'm cutting them open and I'm laying them flat. So I don't have to use a lot of them now. The major problem that people are having with this method is getting the spray tan on the hair and the hairline. So to combat that I brushed the hairline of my wig back and I secured it with some clips. I like these clips because they elevate the wig when I turn it inside out. So it's like a stand and to protect the rest of the hair. I'M cutting up two more bags and placing one over the hair that's out in the back and I'm placing the other right underneath the front of the lace. I like to place the last one there, because the lace doesn't have knots on it like strands on it. That creates the knots that we're going to be hiding and since it doesn't have that the spray goes straight to the lace and it gets stuck on in the hairline. So basically it looks like you have a body hairline so to keep this brave from going all out of control, we're gon na put that bag there. Now that our surface is protected as well as the hair on our wig, we can start spring our lace. So what we're trying to avoid here is spraying so much that it goes beyond the lanes and the knots and gets on the actual hair. To avoid this, I'm spraying in two layers. The first layer should be light and focus on simply tinting the lace. You want. A good amount of distance with this one and if you accidentally go overboard, don't worry, just grab a paper towel and gently Pat lace, once you're done with this layer step back for ten minutes and let this completely dry focus on covering the knots on the second Layer for this round, you'll want to spray closer to the wig and do short, quick sprays for control. Let the second round dry for at least 15 minutes, because this spray is waterproof, you can get your wig wet and you can sweat without it. Melting off your lace and down your face, if you get spray on the hair, just wet a towel with warm water and wipe it off, you want to take this off of your wig, simply wash it with shampoo and warm water and you'll be good, and here Is the final result the lace looks lighter than it is in person, because my ring light is picking up a lot of the shimmer. That'S in the spray, if you want the lace to be darker, just apply a light layer of your face powder, while the wig is inside out and fill it with hairspray. This is my new go-to method for tinting my lace and bleaching, my nuts, because to be honest, it's just so quick and easy, and I'm lazy and I'm a bootleg wig installer. I hate doing it the traditional way, because it takes me forever and it's hard for me to fix my mistakes, which I make meaning of a view of times. I'Ve bleached my nuts and got it all on the roots of my hair and it was just ruined. But now that that happens with this method, all I have to do is simply wipe it away. Now, let us just take a moment to soak in all of the glory that is install, that is this lace front right there like look at it. It'S like butter. This was the first time I was able to have so much versatility with my wig. I did braids y'all I've never been able to do braids. I did do a tutorial on this. Look just click the link in the bio to see that now this hack is one of my own. I very rarely have leave out with my installs and I don't do baby hairs around the entire hairline, so the lace of my wigs is always detectable so camouflage it into my hairline is simply take a waterproof mascara and I brush it along a lace. Y'All. Welcome that will save your life as we're finishing up here. I just want to say thank you so much for watching if you enjoyed this wig hack video and wants to see more thumbs. This video up - and let me know in the comments, peace and love to you and I'll, see you in my next video
Comments
Natty G: I saw in another video a viewer said it the most simple way of keeping it clean... all you do is simply spray it in a bowl and use a large makeup brush to apply. That way you have all the control
Max Ramsey: Thanks soooo much for this amazing tutorial. I get scared watching all these videos on how to bleach and it's scary so this seams simple. I too am lazy in addition to being afraid and this seems doable. You are stunning BTW Also thanks for the nice hair style
Yesitsnancy: just tried this, when the lighting is dim it looks fine, BUT when in a well-lit room or you take a picture with flash it is EXTREMELY noticeable (probably due to the shimmer).
Rebecca McCarson: This method worked well for me I’m a stylist and I agree with her about the root area getting weak when bleaching especially if you are not trained in using chemicals. I followed her directions except used the spray tan i had on hand and worked fine. It wound up looking better than any method I have used and didn’t have the hassle of bleaching. Ask great tips on the whole setup/bags, Ect.. Great vid-I recommend
Monica Gibson: Yes! Exactly what I needed. I’ve never worn a wig before or anything fake so I just bought one and found out about “knots” while looking at a video to install and everyone said bleaching the knots, it’s my day off I want it installed today so this video was perfect! Glad I found it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your time!
Emmy: Thanks sis!!! You are too cute. I love this method not because I’m lazy but the bleach method can go wrong even for highly experienced wig slayers. I spend too money on my wigs and am not experienced enough to have to try and fix a bleach flub. Aaaww hell nah! Btw The mascara tip is life.
Max Ramsey: I saw this in another video and thought it was an ingenious idea I am not an expert and I would not even think of bleaching my not so this is a great way of doing something and quick and short amount of time especially for those like us who are complete novices and would have no idea of what they're doing with bleaching thanks for showing and the mascara is also a great idea
