Hey guys welcome back to my channel. I live love like 71. I am Lex and in this video I'm back with part 2 of my DIY kinky curly wig tutorial series. So, if you missed part one, I really need you to go check that out I'll show. You guys how to make this exact same unit from start to finish. All this luscious and beautiful hair could be purchased off what Aliexpress, by the vendors of bliss, wigs and Evon. So I have three bundles in the closure here and sorry that this video SuperDuper long - but I really this - is like my go-to style. So I really wanted to deliver for you guys and I'll show you guys blending options if you decide to have your hair line out or if you decide to have it tucked under as well as hey guys, welcome back to my channel, and I hope you guys Enjoyed the tutorial um, I didn't do anything extravagant just two and a half bundles of hair, with a lace closure installed on a mesh dome weekend. Guys know just as a recap: I do have 20 inches. I whole bundle of 20 inches at the bottom. I have a whole bundle of 22 inches in the middle and then I have another a little bit less than half a bundle of another 22 inches at the top, and then I just have my 22 inch lace closure. Okay, the inside of the cap. My stitching is pretty horrible to moderate, like it was late when I was doing it, so I just kind of you know put it on there. So that's just to let you guys know you don't have to have perfect stitching, just get it on there and make sure that it's nice tight and secure honestly for your kinky curly closure. Wigs. You would actually want them to be very well stitched because you do a lot more detangling. You rough handle a lot more with your kinky curly closures and everything, so you just want it to be way more secure, so um. This is my first time actually making a kinky curly closure wig closure wig. So if I really like it next time, I'm gon na take my damn times. You guys know. I purchased two of the bliss weeks closures so anyway, we're going to go ahead and get hurt and stalled just go ahead and put her on my hip all right. So is that I'll turn on a camera, real, quick measure, this see just breathe water. You you all right guys, so I'm back right, quick to show you guys are silly of the hair. So all I use in this hair is water, that is it approximately one whole of these in another half okay. So it's drying on me with all the lights. Real quick, but I want to show you guys, the versatility of the hair, so on one half all I did was use water and I just finger detangle the hair down and, as you can see, it is a beautiful tight 3c4, a texture. Now, when this dries, it's going to be right in the type four category now, if you want a more type 4a 4b texture you're going to need to put some type of holding Jill, defining cream, curling enhancing cream or something in it for the curls to pop. If you're, not one, if you don't like any curl pattern whatsoever, you want to just have 4c hair, then just leave this alone. I'M telling you it's going to fluff up in me, so pretty okay. So this is what we're looking like on this side over here now, on the other side, I went ahead and I using my dinner brush. So this is straight tight, 3c category and it's going to dry just like this, because if you look at my other videos, that's exactly how it's on the look. This is not the best you know, representation of using the dinner brush with all the frizziness. I just want to show you guys the difference. Real, quick. Another difference is the shrinkage. When you use the dinner brush, it takes a lot off the lift. So please um, keep that in mind when you are styling. It'S very versatile gives you a very wide range of options and different kinky curly curl patterns and textures, you, okay, so this is the unit I mean this is no cutting none. Nothing like this is freaking gorgeous. Oh my god. Y'All see this okay, I usually just cut my lace at the end. Okay, but y'all see this. You see the movements, nothing but water in here, and that's how I got ta say when I let my kinky curly units dry air dry on my door. Handle like this is how they come out so yeah anyway. We'Re going to shake this hair and I really am NOT trying to take off a lot of length. I purchased the long list because I want the land, so I'm going to try to what I'm doing right now is trying to get the closure in a place where I will actually want the closure, because it's kind of all going towards the face right now and Sit up a little bit alright, as you see the more I touch this hair, the bigger it gets alright. So now I like to do like this open here, real quick and just see how I want this to fall. So I got my scissors. These aren't cutting shears or nothing, which I probably should to go get my cutting shears yeah all right. So I got my cutting shears. Instead, these are not like professional-grade. They were like $ 2.99. In my beauty, supply store, okay, so yeah um the thing with curly hair. I am no professional guys, none at all. I mean I am NOT a professional not at all okay, but from the tips that I do know about. Curly and curly. Hair is, if you do a diva style haircut, you do every curl individually, that cut everyone tailor to the shape that you prefer now, if you just kind of want long layers that you can do long layers and that will give you that tree look as well. So we're going to kind of do combination of both okay, I got somewhere to be in two hours. My makeup is just gliding all over the place. Y'All know why his hot, as hell in here Mitchell, ACS on my ass, was filming in this bathroom without AC on. Ah okay, start right here and take section by section, starting with from ear the front of the ear front of the ear still damp right here. But the ear the front of the ear we're going to go ahead and start chopping. This thing on up alright see where it naturally falls it all right, so we're going to take it up a notch. I have a beauty mole right here and if you guys can see it, but I use that to like hide everything. Okay, so it's right up under my collarbone. So it's right here, for you know, individuals that don't have one obviously but yeah. That'S usually where I start all my cutting it right there, so we're going to take off this much hair stretch in the stretch date and take this off and I'm just going down very lightly. My bike rules. Okay, I'm going to do the other side from the front of the ear, which is basically the closure and some of the west's, and I'm going to do it again from my beauty mode, which is right here, stretched okay, then I could could going down really slowly. All right, this is how much here I have so far all right and then for the back half that I did not cut I'm gon na. Take that quadrant back there and for what I'm going to do here is I'm not messing with the length at the bottom, but I'm doing is going to cut about halfway into this okay, I want my fullness at the bottom, so this is what I'm going to Do so once again, I'm going to take it the hair that I did not touch on this half behind the ear. Oh, my god, quantum you take the hair, then I did not touch behind the ear and I'm going to cut this half way down. Okay, because I just want to fool this - I want the layers at the top, but I'm with my fullness left alone at the bottom, so I kind of compared with the top alright so around right here, there's my beauty move right there. So I'm going to cut down just a little bit, you guys can see very all right, I'm looking all the types of crazy, okay, so yeah there we go and I wanted to do the other half want to take it behind the air. I'M just doing four cuts in this guy's all right, or is my beauty mold right there and I'm going to even it up with the top okay and I'm going to cut, like I said guys: two dollar scissors, okay, yeah, so um! This is what we're working with now. Okay, I'm sure you guys can see somewhat of a shape now. So honestly, this is it's like trial and error like so now, I'm going to have to go ahead and with this hair, because, if you're looking at it right now, you're like Alexis you're going to have to you need to take off this part right here. But no, what I'm going to do is wet it and see how the curls are falling. Now, come back in another 30 minutes or so and see what we're looking like, then! So me with my hair, you all right, so I'm just rake it and then I take my fingers and I use that to create like four or five big clumps and I release that's, usually how I do my identical me wait. These are the curls with the denim brush very, very pretty hi guys so we're back and we're going to go ahead and cut the hair once more. We'Re going to just take off a little bit more and shape it and have a little more volume towards the back here. So we're going to start right here with the same four quadrants in that's the front of the ear, and you want to let the curls rest where they naturally would to see where they're going to be yet. Okay - and I know that I'm just going to take off a very little bit over here like a little bit okay, so I'm going to pull that and starting at my little Mole again, I'm going to take off relaxed state just a little bit more of that. Okay, so just on the layer, that's just a little bit more. I really do want it to be very full in front and I'm just sliding the shears down and it creates long layers great. So, let's do the other half in front of the ear you so once again I asked you so once again I have to go ahead and wet the hair down and then I'm the entire Brett I mean entire. So it takes a long time guys, but you guys want to see how I do it. So I definitely want to deliver it's four quadrants with long layers we're going to go ahead and whip her all the way down again and we're going to go ahead and denim brush her again and let her sit on the road on back once again. Hopefully, with the finale just put the wig on, as you can see, it's really pretty very nice and full. It has like a nice layer on angle right here that I will want. I still want it full in here and I would like some lift at the top and that usually shows up around day two or day three of wearing the unit. But I mean I could take off some in here, but we're just going to leave it alone and I paid for it. So let me go ahead and utilize them inches. So here we go just kind of teasing it up a little bit just taking my hand and going like this up in there to create some type of shape, because it's still very damp in here. This is not no 95 percent dry yeah. As you can see, it's forming so we're going to go ahead and take her off we're going to cut the lace real, quick, because I'm very curious to see how this looks. It'S not the straightest cut. I can actually see, but that's okay. I like to leave just a little bit of lace because it kind of will melt into the skin, usually with Swiss lace. This is French lace, so I might be eating my words in a minute: Oh okay! Well, she looking like definitely still see the halo. Okay, no one's hairline is just damn thick okay, so I would probably pull out some of my own hairs around here. Let me do that. You we'll see what it looks like when it's fully dried, okay, cuz right now, it's not, but still in all. Thank you guys for watching, and I will definitely need to possibly color this hair jet black, because the front of my hair jet black and this hair is clearly a knot. Well guys there, you have it part 1. In part, 2 of this video. I do apologize for the longest video as well as the over bleep two knots in the last footage. You win some and you lose some lace closures. Well anyway, I personally prefer to wear it without any hair exposed. So what you see in this next footage is the way I would naturally wear it and that's what my natural hair pushed all the way back up under the wig, the part kind of rustled up to hide the part, as well as the hair, completely air dried. I didn't do anything different to the hair, so I really do appreciate you guys watching don't forget to Like comment and sub and I catch you guys in the next video bye.
Comments
Dolokaa: looks like a wash n go very natural
GoldenLife Love: I used 2 bundles of 18 inch for my sewin and it's SUPER FULL! Sometimes I blow dry it on the lowest, warm setting then do a twist out and it's beautiful and blends well with my 4c hair. I still have a bundle of 16 inch that I'll use later, I really like the hair a lot!
Leo Phoenix: You slayed my wig!! I love it so so much!! I can't wait to order my other two!!!!
saffylew: Girl thank you! I have just purchased this hair (minus the closure) and I feel confident I can make this work now after watching this. I see why you cut so much off. It looks very natural but almost a little too natural for me because thats where my natural hair falls anyway so I went for the 20 22 22 for a little added drama!
BetaDenDymonds: Thank you for taking your time explaining and showing us what to do. Your awesome!!
Terena Rosa: This looks like my 4c hair in a twist out. It looks so natural.
shontae1998: I ordered this hair shorty after watching your video. I absolutely love this hair. It looks and feels so natural. I have been wearing it for about a month. I wet and detangle it once a week by only adding water. The closure was from another vendor so I have to use conditioner in order to keep the frizz down. Love Love Love this hair. I have already ordered and received another bundle set. Thank you so much for making this video.
UrbanLipstick: Love love love the way you shaped this !
Sasha J.: This is my exact natural hair! Amazing! However, I personally feel like if you gonna wear a wig, there should be zero effort involved. Put on and go!
DNaturalArtist: Yes girl YES!!! this hair is gorgeous! Your so easy to listen to, glad i found your channel!
NEKETA BENNETT: Hi Lex! Great videos, I watched all of them multiple times and am in love with others this hair. Can you recommend any frontals to match this hair? If not what is your outlook on stitching multiple closures together for a full hairline? I wanted to get it sewed in for my honeymoon but decided against it after reading about the tangling. Think I'll just sew the wig down instead.
AliciaRenee: You truly did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing
Leo Phoenix: I must have this unit. It's beautiful !!
JustDar: your video made me buy this hair!! I did everything in the video and it came out beautifully!!
Lavida Loves Coils: Uhm how about you need to go ahead and get licensed and become a Curly Hair Specialist! You're good! The industry needs a lot more of us! I don't know if you have changed your cutting technique since this video but you don't have to cut every curl just create shape with the tip of your shears when it's already dry and styled (with your styling product). I just saw your IG! These wigs are amazing! Your work it good!
Elle Odoba: BEAUTIFUL! WELL DONE
Ms. Lene: I always get the Malaysian curly but I am loving this kinky curly I will definitely be trying this hair next w/ bliss closure. Thanks for sharing this hair looks gorgeous on you.
LAtttiful: So you know, your video is so good that people out here stealing your videos. Love this hair, cut, everything!
Rokhaya Sané: I truly love this hair and I think it looks great on you. I was wondering if you've ever tried a braid out on this hair? I'm thinking about making a u-part wig and blending it with my natural hair in a braid out style.
KayNicole: Lexxxx! You made me order more hair lol. ( It was bound to happen anyways. ) I want to do a look similar to this again. I need another fro in my life, but I'm going to do it with afro kinky curly hair. I was gonna do another kinky straight wig too, but the way my budget is set up.... eh idk lol.
K Jay: I would like to thank you for doing this video about this hair. I purchased this hair because of your video. Right now I have this hair installed and I love it. This is the best hair I ever bought off aliexpress
Tamara Coore: This hair honestly is the shit I had it for over one year in a wig n I’m still killing it
Kingdom Certified: if you didn't pull the wig up I would have said u liar that hair is coming out your scalp... u did a great job!
XxCookieGenuisxX Yes: I clicked on this thinking it was a natural hair care video I didn’t read the title, but this is gorgeous
sandra abu: Please don't apologise for the length of the video because it was very useful,thank you for taking the time to show us how to get beautiful hair like your. Watch me rock this in London like I am the business
blacklily624: Love it. Thanks for posting sis.
Pleasantkind Lovies: Love it!
Aaliyah Simone: I just installed this hair and I'm just tryna figure out how to style it so its not just that "uniform" curl but this helped a lot thanks boo
Jo Mireille: Love this is very informative
latijera moody: came out so pretty
Khadijah Ibrahim: This hair looks so beautiful I wonder if you can straighten it
Lo The Artisan: I can’t wait to purchase this hair!!
Keisha Puryear: Great job. You ladies make it look so easy. But as a natural who doesn't wear extra hair, wig installs are frustrating. I have yet to see anyone in person wearing a wig that fooled me. They never look natural in person and I'm afraid as another amateur installer I will waste my money on them and still look like I'm wearing a wig
Ebony Williams®: I love how thick it is!
De'Mara: I Love this I'm ordering today
Naomi Müller: Most beautiful curly wig eveeeer!!
Azaria Anderson: Can this hair be normally sewn in with a closure without making it into a wig?
Lex Chantal UKK: +Kaitlin Brown I have never straightened the hair. But I have read on Instagram that it "doesn't straighten bone straight, revert back quickly, and just didn't look polished in its straightened state". That was pretty much it in a nutshell. I would suggest purchasing a Italian yaki or kinky straight for the preferred outcome. Hope this helps :)
Bri Spencer: absolutely loooooved this video!! thanks for giving me a reason to give Ali some more of my coins!!!! lol
Lauren Jenkins: How long did it take for the hair to come in? I really love the hair and want to purchase but only have about a week and a half worth of time as I have to fly back to school. Do you think it will get to me on time?
Crystal Ophliaa: Wow this is amazing
Melanin Strength: i love this hair but my 12 inch closure is a Lil kinkier. i just use gel to define the coils. other than that it's the bomb
Desi: OMG... I love it!!!
charlie Remi: Thanks so much for sharing wow u should be a professional hair stylist looks amazing very natural
lejalamorena: I know this is older, so not really expecting a reply. But I'm curious about one thing: if you're going to shape the hair in long layers anyway, what is the benefit of installing the long bundles at the top? Wouldn't you get natural layers by installing the shorter bundles on the top?
Kierra Bryant: Hey I'm interested in ordering this hair, but I wanted to know what products did you use on the hair to keep it moisturized ?
R. Mathis: Nicely done!
Moriah Cenance: Do you make wigs and if so, how much do you charge?
Gabrielle Haynes: If I'm doing a sew in and I'm going to have leave out.. how many bundles do you think I need ?
Ivy Baby: btw your hair and also you as a whole is gorgeous
Very KinkyCurl: Bomb a** wig!! I gotta get one!!
Leo Phoenix: Hey this is the unit I want cut and style in black.
Tiffany Feliciano: hi! love your video! I have a question, how is the texture of the hair. by texture I mean feel not curl pattern. is the hair coarse to the touch or silky. I want to order but I'm concerned about the texture. I have 3c/4a hair and I know my curls will match but I'm not sure about the texture.
Kierra Bryant: Which one would you recommend the most? Kinky curly or Malaysian curl? I'm interested in purchasing one of them soon :-)
Poetic Andra: Have you tried to bleach this particular hair?? I love this hair, love the way it blends with mines, the up keep etc. but once I tried bleaching the hair my face went from to . I thought maybe it was the developer so I ended up buying some 40 volume along with some Kaleidcolors (blue powder) and still nothing.
Be Quiet: How do you secure the wig?
elizeebz: i can't believe this hair is so cheap I was going to spend triple thank you
Mermaidwater: So pretty omgg ! Is there a way to avoid the hair puffing up? If you were going for that wet long defined look you got after you used the brush ?
Béatrice Bellange: Did u already try to place the longest lenght bundles on top and the shortest at the bottom on your units?? If yes, does it give a great result?
Bre S.: you tryuing to mess my wallet up right now with this pretty hair XD
Maya Watkins: That hair looks so natural on u
bloop: I'm having an existential crisis. This hair has been my favorite for over 1 year now, but the link on Aliexpress says it's no longer available!
alireyisboss: i always hear good things about this hair on youtube. idk if I feel like getting this kinky curly texture again. it was such a pain last time i had it. I got it from private stock, way too expensive, way too much work.
Cierra: Did you ever do a final review of this hair?
Raushanah Seals: Hi! Great video...I'm inspired. Just a questions...I noticed that you said you hated this hair when you had a sew in..can you give me some details as to why (because I was thinking i love this hair and i usually get sew-ins)
R D: Still waiting on your vid on how you got the curls to look like this the 2nd time!
Uma Conté: I'm in love! Do you ship this wig to the Netherlands?
BleuGyal: I was looking for a video to take care of my hair type... but I find my hair as a wig which is a little freaky but kinda cool it looks so natural on you!
K: I love it so mutch on you! Im about to order this hair is 4 bundles to mutch without a closure ?
Taj Alani: This is my Fav !!! Yesss
NanDistrict: I LOVE THIS
CulturalMisfit: I made my first wig recently with my Yvonne hair lol. Let's just say my stitching probably wasn't the best. But the wig came out nice. I just need to cut and shape it.
Ashley Rodriguez: omg girl how can I purchase a wig from you with the yvonne bundles and bliss wig closure !?!
Kristy Vaste: Hello, I bought 3 packages of yvonne kinky curly like you on aliexpress. I took 18,20,22 inches. I would like to know in what order of size it is necessary to put the locks to have the same afro effect that you? I start by putting what size all down at the neck?
chae monroe: omg i love the hair do they have a lace frontal?
TashaDaily: i need this!
Kennesha Buycks: do you do custom units? would love to purchase!
Jessica D: although this video was done last year, I am looking for curly wigs...I just purchased from Big Chop Hair and had a bad experience. I don't usually buy hair online, so ghat was my first time. I am hoping by your review (even though I'd watched soo many reviews of Big Chop Hair before i purchased) would work out for me. i have PCOS (one of the many symptoms is thinning hair/balding). I would like to take a break from manipulating my hair this winter.
Adajee Odusanya: what dye would you use to achieve the jet black without loosening the curl pattern?
brandelina: ok lex, i am going to try this hair for a THIRD time and hope i get your results by following your exact method and suggestions. last time i tried 2 different closures, both horrible (the 2nd was the matching one from yvonne, which essentially ruined the look of the entire unit). i also tried the cheap revlon dye, but it took 2 months to rinse completely out and really f*ed up the curls. have you had that experience? have you ever tried non-bliss closures with this unit and, if so, what were your results? do you still recommend?
Ericka Jackson: Did you cut the elastic band that is under the closure? I know this is an old video. You are my wigspiration (wig inspiration lol)
heartjt: This looks so pretty! It's the same hair you used in your other video with the long brazilian kinky curly?
NS: trooop beau
shontae1998: So how is the hair holding up? Any excessive tangling and knots? I'm thinking about getting the hair but I'm worried about tangling.
Gypsy Jane: omg I love this!!!! I'M SOLD
Jada Johnson: How you like the closure after a month or sooo? A lot of people say it tangles badly
Nakia English: Do you still recommend this hair from Yvonne? I want to purchase some kinky curly hair just like yours but I am scared and idk who to try it from.
Chelsea Chiang: really beautiful girl :)
A VIEW IS A VIEW: Gorgeous.......
Aunt Christi: i am sooo ordering this lol
Lisa g-b: Can you blow dry/straiten this hair?
Chrissy Joesph: How much do you charge to make this unit???
Naba P: Is there a full wig that is similar to this style already?
Odanys Osorio: And.... between this hair! So help me out here, which one should I get, the Brazilian kinky curly or this one, which is just kinky curly
Kay M: How much for this unit ?
Mandy B: I'm DEFINITELY buying this hair, did u ever try to Eco styler gel on it??
Miracle Lawson: How did you fluff it out to get how it is in 19:24 minutes. Did you use a comb?
Ivy Baby: hey lex i have been watching this video on repeat and trying to order this hair and everytime i try to i never know which one is the real yvonne hair and also i think bliss wig closures have disappeared because i cant seem to find it at all
Evelyn Espinoza: Really good!! why do you place the shortest bundle in the bottom?Thanks
Prestiana Carter: Okay you sold me on this hair:)
