My Summer Curly Wig! | How To Glue Your Lace Wig Using Ghost Bond| Pocketsandbows

Hey guys welcome back to my channel, so obviously today's video is going to be on this new hair. I can't come to you guys without addressing the elephant in the room every time you know you just get right to it. So today I am going to be doing another wig review for our PG show. You guys gave me such a positive response on the last video that they reached out to me again and because, if they're a 10th anniversary, they wanted me to review another unit. For you guys, so I was happy to oblige because I absolutely loved that unit. I'Ve warned that unit literally straight for about a month and a half and I'm actually thinking about purchasing a backup, because I know that hair is not version. Of course, aside from it being color, but I know that hair itself is probably not virgin hair and I love that style and that color on me so much that I don't want to be without it. So while it's available, I'm actually thinking about purchasing another one - and I didn't want to let you guys know that, because it is their 10th anniversary, they are offering a $ 60 coupon. So I will be using that coupon and you should as well. This is the perfect time to try out any unit that you've ever wanted to try out from our PG show, because you will get that at a discounted price, but anyway, let's go ahead and move on to the unit that I received. So the unit that I received from our PG show this time is obviously a really nice dark curly unit, and it is by the name of Jackie. This is another one of their pre plucked styled units, and this one was styled by touched by Tim. If you guys are familiar with him on Instagram or social media - and this is a silky texture unit, it is also 20 inches long. The hair color is this natural color and I'm not sure if you guys can see, but it is a very true chocolatey, rich brown and I'm actually liking it, because usually I don't like brown colors unless it's like a cold tone. Brown really dark cool tone, but I'm really liking this chocolatey color Brown, the cap size that I got is a 1, which is always the cap. Construction of this is a lace front, but it does have the combs on either side on both sides and one in the back and the lace color. I requested medium brown lace, but I really do think that they gave me light. Brown leaves and, as you can see, I'm not a light brown girl, so the lace does seem a little bit light for me, but I did not do any tweaking to this at all. The only thing I did when I received the unit was watch the hair. So I'm going to be showing you guys how the unit looks straight out the box after it was washed without the lace cut off and then today I'm actually going to be showing you or not necessarily showing you you'll, be watching it with me. We'Ll be doing this together, I'm going to be adhering this unit down with real adhesive for the first time ever. I'Ve never done this, but I have to be honest with you guys about the got to be glue. I absolutely love the got to be gluten method. I think it is very convenient it's kind of foolproof and it saves your edges. But one thing I will say if you live in the south or in a hotter climate, it's difficult to keep that unit on more than a couple of days, because any time any moisture gets to that got to be blue, it's a wrap. The hair is going to slide it back for you and it's going to slide back and it's going to start to lift and that's not really an issue, because you can always reapply it. But the issue that I have is because I am a perfectionist when I reapply the unit I have to clean that legs every time I can't just keep applying glue to the hairline. I think it looks kind of messy, so I have to take the unit off wash it clean the hairline and then do the whole gossipy glue method that I showed you guys previously all over again doing that every other day or you know every day is very Cumbersome and if I'm just going to work and coming home every single day, I'm fine. I can last about 3 to 4 days. But if I decide to go and walk around outside in the hot heat or if I decide to go, work out or go to a bar, not even like a super turn-up night, but just going to a bar. Where there's like a lot of people. And it's a little humid, my units going to start to look a little bit janky, and I don't like that. So I figured I would try to adhere the unit down for the first time now. This is a big deal for me because I do have a very low forehead, but I've been wearing lace units for years and I've seen this done so many times. I feel like I'm pretty savvy when it comes to hair, so I figured I would give it a try and obviously I don't recommend doing this on a regular basis, because any type of manipulation to your edges will pull your hair out eventually. But every once in a while, especially during the summer months, I don't think it's a bad thing, but we'll go through this together because again this is my first time a little bit of glue is definitely going to have to get on my hair. You know what I mean: it's just the name of the game when you don't have a huge forehead, but we're going to go ahead and give it a shot. And if you are interested in seeing that then stick around so here, I'm just showing you guys how the unit looks. This is after it has been washed and air dried and I'm just showing you the curl pattern. So now I'm just applying the unit to my head just to test it out to see if it fits properly. I want to make sure that it's not too big or too loose and just making sure that the lace is looking okay against my skin tone. I do think that this is a light-brown lace and not medium brown. It could be transparent, but it's definitely not medium brown, and here I'm just showing you guys the hairline it is pre plucked. Now this next step is extremely important, because you want to make sure that your hairline is very, very clean and the ways to do that is to get a 91 % alcohol or above and clean your hairline with a cotton pad. And that's just going to remove any oils any residue and allow the adhesive to stick properly now. This step is optional, but I would highly recommend it Here. I am using a Scout protector and that's just going to add a layer of protection between your skin and the adhesive so that your skin does not get irritated or it can help prevent it from getting as irritated. I'Ve never used an adhesive around my hairline, so I just want to make sure that I'm just doing everything that I can to make sure that my hairline is protected. So now I am applying the first layer of ghost bond and I would recommend you use your finger or maybe a spatula just to get a more even thin layer. But you do have to add four layers of this, so you don't want to put it on too thick at first and I kind of made a mistake there after the first layer turns clear. You want to then apply your second layer and you can tell how sticky it is because that little nozzle is kind of sticking to my hairline. But this is the time where you want to apply your second layer and, as you can see, I have a few little bubbles and that's what I meant by making sure to apply a very thin layer, because you don't want that trust me. Now we are on to the third layer now this is my first time again using it ESA's. So I'm not sure if four layers is really necessary, but because it was my first time I definitely follow the directions and everyone else's directions that I saw on YouTube. So I am applying my third layer, and I am just smoothing that out in front of my hairline, making sure that it is a smooth as I can possibly beginning now. It is time for the final and fourth layer. I am just applying that, as I did all the rest making sure that each time the adhesive has turned clear in between - and it is very sticky at this point, but as you can see, this is how sticky it is on my finger and that stuff, it's Not playing no game so now that we have allowed the last layer to dry. It is time to apply the unit, so I'm just putting the columns in the back and I'm going to start applying this section by section and I'm not sure if you guys can tell. But I did apply these layers a little too thick because you can kind of see residue and it should be very, very flat. So, of course, this is my first time, but I definitely noticed that, after applying the unit that it was a little bit thicker than I would have liked now, I'm just going to apply the other side and, as you can see, there is a little bit of Buckling there and I'm trying to fix it here, but honestly, once you're done, you're not going to be able to tell so don't worry if that ends up happening to you in the end, it'll all turn out. Okay, now try not to use your fingertips being that I have long nails that does help that glue will turn white on you. So just get you a rat tail comb or something other than your actual fingers, because the oil from your fingers will turn the white and again so just be very, very careful when applying the unit on top of that adhesive. So I went ahead and zooms you guys out, so you can see the finished product and I'm pretty pleased with it for it to be my first time. I think it looks really really nice and natural and, as you can see, the hairline looks pretty good. So I'm not meted now. Look at how balloon is this hair looks I mean the hair is super lush and I'm loving that, as you can tell, I love how big it is, but I am going to tame it down just a little bit with some water. I don't want it to be too frizzy, so this next step is very optional. This is me applying the baby hairs to the unit. Now I kind of wish. I did not do this because I don't feel like it was really necessary, but a lot of you guys actually before how I do my baby hairs and I basically just take the guts to be glue, gel and apply it to my hairline and just kind of Design the baby here is how I like them to be. The reason why I use the guys to be blue gel is because, if you use any other gel, that's not as strong as a hold the baby hair will kind of lift up from your skin, and that's because this is not real baby here, of course, so You want to make sure that it's literally gelled sucked down to your skin so that it can look a little bit more natural. So here's how it looks after I've laid down all the baby hair, as you can see, so it does kind of help. When you do the baby hairs, because it can hide any mistakes that you've made when applying your unit, but this hairline looks pretty good. I have to admit - and I also wanted to show you guys - that you can put this unit up in a bun and it still looks very natural honestly. I'Ve never worn any of my units up, but I may just wear this one up because look at that. It looks really nice and look at the back. You guys amazing laughter plans, a go sign. I'M really liking the ghost on you guys. The Gulf on glue is like lit like I can literally pull this unit and it's not going anywhere like I feel so confident, and that is an amazing feeling when you are wearing a full unit. It is amazing to feel confident knowing that it's going to look how it looked when you left the house and your hairline is not going to be jacked up throughout the day or if you sweat or whatever. So I'm loving the ghost fun glue and it is tight on my head, like I can feel it like cured to my head, which is a good thing. It doesn't feel like it's like pulling my hair out or anything, but I can tell that it is definitely on. It is tight and glued down okay, so I'm going to keep you guys updated as to how this lasts, how long it lasts and how it's going to be taking this off, and hopefully we don't lose any baby edges, because lord knows, I can't afford it. Okay, but it is very important to do your research before you glue your hair down over, for you glue any lace weight down and also do your research on how to remove but I'll come back, and I probably will show you guys how I do it so That you guys can really get a good look and especially what a girl like me with a short forehead. It'S inevitable that a little bit of glue is going to get on my hair period, and I want to keep all my baby here. You guys know. I'M obsessed so I like my hair, coming all the way down. Like my natural hair, I don't want to do it too much with the lace front, but my natural hair. It comes down close to my eyebrow and I want to keep that hair. You know it's how the hairline is looking. I would say not to shed not too shabby again. That lace is a little bit light for my liking and I didn't tent the lace. I didn't bleach the knocks or anything, so I think it looks pretty good for no manipulation and I did want to show you guys how a unit will look if you just wore it right out the box. You know what I mean that's important, because when you spending this kind of money you don't want to have to do a ton of things you know, so I think it's important for the regular girl, that's not a beautician to be able to apply these units. You know with a little bit of help from tutorials and look amazing. That is the whole point of these units, so yeah. I do think that hairline looks really really nice. It can't stand a little bit of plucking. I don't feel like the plucking on this unit. Is as good as my last unit, but it could be because my last unit was light and the nuts were probably bleached a little bit more and they didn't have to be as careful because it was a blonde unit. Now, with this one, you don't want to bleach, you know over bleach because you're going to get, you know blonde roots and that's not cute when you have dark hair, so the nut definitely could be bleached a little bit. I think the lace for me could be tinted, but if they would have sent me the medium brown, it would have been perfectly fine. I do want to get into the hair, though so the hair itself, as you can see, it's a curly texture, but it is a silky texture, so this hair is obviously processed to get this curl. I'M not sure if it was a chemical process or steaming process, but how I was able to tell was because when I got the unit and after I washed it and everything the ends were really really straight. I don't know if you guys can see that because I have cut off a little bit of the straight ends, but I did leave a little bit because I didn't want to compromise the length I wanted to show you guys the full 20 inches on me, but Yeah the ends are very straight now. The stock picture does show kind of like a scraggly in, and I like that. That'S one of the reasons why I was you know amped to try the unit because the curls look really natural and like beachy um, but it's just a little bit too uniform and straight for me and, like I said, I've actually helped it out by cutting a Few of those ends off that's one thing I do not like about the unit. Okay, the other thing that I'm a little bit concerned with is that the texture of the hair is not like juicy curls and that's because it's probably not virgin hair. So it does kind of get a little bit frizzy and I do have a little bit of mousse on it, but I've been playing with this sight more just so you guys can see the difference. So, as you can see, this side is a little bit more defined and this side is a little bit more frizzy. Hopefully you guys can see that so it kind of worries me like if I'm constantly missing in this hair. What am I going to look like by the end of the day, because I just feel like the hair is not naturally curly, so it's going to not you know hold such as such a nice juicy curl throughout the day. I may be wrong, but from right now that's what I'm seeing just by fooling with this side a little bit, it's just a little bit frizzy, but I do think mousse will be able to combat that and you'll be fine. If you just put some mousse on it and maybe throw a little bit of a serum on it, I think you'll be fine, but I did want to let you guys know that this is definitely not virgin hair and it's obvious. But one thing I will say the hair is extremely extremely extremely soft. When I wash the hair, I was surprised at how easy my fingers glide it through the hair, no tangling whatsoever, but I did get a little bit of shedding. So I did want to let you guys know that, but other than that you guys I am liking the hair, I'm liking the style, I'm loving the chocolate brown on me. I don't know it's just something about it. Like it's giving me a little bit of a 70s vibe, that's why putting a little jumpsuit on today and a little brown lip, but yeah, I'm loving this like chocolate brown on me. I usually don't go for that type of color, but it's different and I'm enjoying it. So let me know your thoughts on this unit. What do you guys think about the style on me, the color on me, and what do you guys think about the hair, the hairline everything? Do you think it's worth the money? Just let me know, let's talk about a little bit in the comments section.
