All right what's up y'all, this is the color that you're going to be using. This isn't really color, but this is beating powder, as you all know - and this is exactly the areas that you need to put the bleach act - you're not going to put the bleach over the whole front of the full lace wig, because it's not necessary and I'm Going to show you why I just want okay here we are a few minutes later and the front of the knots are bleached. The rest of the wig does not need to be bleached. It'S highly unnecessary and, like I said, you're, going to see why very soon so the very front of the hairline is bleached, but the rest is not I'm going to tell you why, later on in this video, please be sure to subscribe. If you haven't already and leave a thumbs up and a comment down below at the end of this video right now, I'm going to show you how to pluck most wigs nowadays come with a natural hair line. Although this has a natural hairline, I'm still gon na go in a little bit more because you need it to be super natural. It may look natural while it's on the mannequins head, but when you put it on it still will look a little too thick for your client I like to pluck on the mannequin head and, if need be, I will pluck on my clients head as well and What you're gon na do is go down into the root with the tweezers and pull pull pull. I'M gon na show you what not to do because a lot of you guys say that you're plucking, but it's not working or I see a lot of people plucking. But it's not the correct way. You wan na take the tweezers and go down into the roots. Don'T really go on the hairline, because what you're gon na do you're gon na pluck the hairline and you're gon na move the hairline back. What you need to be focusing on is behind the hairline. You can twist the hairline, so it'll look a little more natural, but that's not your main focus. Your main focus is behind the hairline because that's where it gets thicker act. Okay, here we go go in pull out. Not this. This is not plucking. All you're doing is ripping the hair off and the knots are still going to be inside of the way you want to go down in the roots and pull out now you're just going to take the makeup the same color as your clients. Skin complexion put it all on the front of the cap and then you're going to take your lace glue and put it on the very very edge of the cap to secure the cap and create the ball cap method. Illusion take notes on how the very front of her hairline looks like an actual ball cap. That'S the look that you want to go for. You want to make sure that the cap is blending with the clients skin and you don't see a line of demarcation because that will show underneath your wig once you do that step. You'Re gon na proceed with applying three to five layers of the boho. It goes far whatever whatever glue of your choice, however, the only glue that I use is both hold, and this is about how much you want to cover up a lot of you say that you use the glue, but it doesn't work. You want to make sure that you're putting this amount of glue on the clients head or on your head, whoever you're doing it on you want to make sure it's about half of an inch covered up now. This technique is going to be mistake. Proof as long as you do this correctly and follow my steps, this will be a mistake, proof and flawless install for you. What you want to do is go ahead and cut the lace off, as you would any other way, use a zig. Zag method. Don'T go straight across, you want to go ahead and cut the excess lace off first. I know that in my other videos I showed that I leave the lace on and cut it off last, but I've come to realize that this method isn't always as beginner-friendly as it should be, or as it can be, so I'm gon na do this method method Because it's honestly mistake proof, once you lay the glue down and once the cap is already cut off, you're literally just gon na place the lace exactly where it needs to go. You want to take that same color makeup that you used on your clients hairline and put it on the inside of the wig. Like you see me doing, and now that the glue has already been laid down, this is like easiest part of all. You want to make sure that you're not smashing it into the lace, smashing the lace into the glue you just want to just lightly put it on top until you get it in the position that you needed to be in, you can go ahead and press down And apply a little bit of pressure with the end of your comb or if you have long nails like mine, you can use your nose and apply a little bit of pressure on the hairline, so it can melt the lace into the glue. I realized that when you leave the excess pieces of cap on when you do the install, like you see me doing all most of my videos that it can be, it can get a little messed up. It'S kind of hard to explain, but it can get a little messed up, because you will leave too much of the lace on you'll cut in the wrong places. Or you will leave too much of the lace and not cut off because it got attached to the glue and then it just gets my stuff. It'S honestly hard to explain. But I know you guys know what I'm trying to say. Most of you know, because if you've tried the method before and it didn't work for you, you know what I'm talking about. So I want to encourage you to go ahead and try this method, because it will give you the results that you're looking for as long as you put the glue in the right places, you can just go ahead and lay the wig down exactly where it needs To be, if there's some, if there are some areas like you see right here that you see me fixing and touching up, there are going to be some areas, sometimes, where the lace glue didn't, you know, get attached or get laid down, so you can go ahead And touch that up is no big problem. You can just go ahead and fix that and proceed with your install and once you do that, you can go ahead and take your blow dryer on warm and blow dry until it's completely melted. The way you know is completely melted is, if you don't see much shiny spots and if you can just tell like okay, the lace is really melted in. This is exactly what you want to go for you see how straight that part is no. I did not pluck it and know the knots have not been bleached all the way back. I do realize that with beginners you guys tend to not know when you're applying too much pressure when you're applying the bleach onto the lace onto the knots and you tend to over bleach. The knots and bleach gets all on the roots and it's just not cute. Therefore, it's best that you use the technique that I showed you at the beginning of this video and I only bleached the very very front of the hairline, because that's really what matters most, especially with certain styles, my client is only gon na, be wearing a middle Part, so it's really not necessary to bleach the whole front of the full lace wig. It'S really not necessary. It'S unnecessary honestly. However, you want to go ahead and start to lay your baby hair if your crying does not want baby hair you're still gon na. Do this method you're still gon na, do this step you're, just not going to form any baby hairs. You'Re gon na just take the foam, wrap and just comb backwards and wrap it down and sit them under the dryer as usual, but if they do want baby hair you're gon na cut this short baby hair. Like you see me do in this previous clip and then you're just gon na start to create them and form them as you're forming the baby hair. You don't want to be too rough. You don't want to forcefully press down into the lace because it will lift up if you're being too rough. Now when it comes down to creating your part and defining your part, you're gon na take a very skinny angled makeup. Brush get your Ruby kiss the color number nine you're gon na slide that angle brush in that color of the makeup and slide it down the parts of your head. Your clients head your wig or whatever you're going to be using, and this is going to create a very clean and neat look. You can also go ahead and call me a baby hair out if the baby hair are too long. That'S no problem! You can go ahead and cut them shorter. Everything can be fixed most of the time everything can be fixed. So you don't need to worry. If you don't like how long they are, you can go ahead and just cut them shorter. Using the hot comb is very crucial and very important when it comes down to you installing your lace, you want to make sure you go down into the roots, don't touch the lace with it, because it will burn a hole and it will burn the client. But you want to get as close as you can as close as possible to the roots and make sure the lace is flat. This install is pretty much complete and the only thing I did was took. My biosilk ran it through the clients, hair hot home bit. Make sure it was completely flat, took my flat iron and flat iron, her hair straight, because this was a body wave wave, but I flat ironed it straight and just added some finishing touches and that's pretty much it, and I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I hope you guys use these techniques at home. Make sure you try them out, leave a comment down below and I'll see you next time.

H_Mulaa: You are a heavensend. Every video is meticulously explained and girlll; the words of encouragement! Ugh we’re grateful
Latosha Star: Love each and everyone of your vids I tried every method you used and for some reason I can not get my lace to stay laid down once I apply the foam and I use Nairobi... also when I apply the makeup or concealer down the part to define it it looks weird up close.... what am I doing wrong? With the foam part should I make sure the lace is completely DRY before applying the foam? What is best to used to define the part?
Onika: How do you clean around the lace when you put the wig down? I use the bold hold too and everything would be perfect but then there’s glue that’s leftover in some areas. Not from using too much, but placement wise my lace didn’t cover it. Hope this makes sense.
M. Black: I appreciate all your work and THIS FREE INFO #FREEGAME! you’re sharing with us! GOD BLESS

Lakeisha Moss: Hey Ericka, love all your videos...you are truly skilled and talented. I do have a question, why is it that some people say that when they remove their frontal they have a white cast where they glued it done? Is it because they aren't using hairspray or something as a protective coating?
Jasmine Bailey: Thank you Ericka really appreciate you & I love Ball Greezy as well ❤️
