How To Cut A Frontal Wig Into A 6X6 Closure! | Unice Kinky Straight Hair

Hey guys, what's up and welcome back to my channel today, I have another exciting video for you guys today, I'm gon na be showing you guys how I cut this 13 by 6, kinky straight frontal into a 6 by 6 closure. You guys, like it, looks like a closure, but it technically was a frontal. Now I don't think I've seen anybody do this video on YouTube before I've seen people cut their frontals like a separate frontal into a closure and then make a wig out of it, but I haven't seen anybody use an existing pre-existing like pre-made wig and cut the Wig into a closure wig, so I'm gon na show you guys how I did it. It came out so good. I can't wait to show you guys the results, but first things. First, this hair is from you knees, hair. This is their Brazilian kinky straight in 18. Inches, this is how long it comes on me. This is really really really pretty hair when you wash it, it definitely does have like a lot of texture to it. If I have some footage of how the hair looks like before I'll insert it, so you definitely need to take your time and press this hair out. I use the Conair infinity Pro flat iron and it got the hair bone straight. You guys like it is so flat, and you can pick this hair up on Amazon if you're interested I'll have the price on the screen and all the information in the description box below.

Because, honestly, you guys it looks so natural, it looks really really good. So without further ado, let's just get on into the video, because I can't wait to show you guys how I install this wig. Ok, so let's get right into it, okay, guys! So this is the wig it's kinky straight. I'Ve already went ahead and straightened it laid down the partying I tweeze, the frontal. I pluck the part just a little bit I'll, probably have to pluck it some more and I put a little bit of silk serum in it and just look at how much body this hair has. So it's very, very simple. All you need is scissors a little comb, so what we're gon na do this is the wig. I tried to part it down the middle, and I put this little mark on my wait head if you guys can see just so that I know that I'm in the center so that when I'm cutting, I don't cut too uneven. So this right here is the ear tab correct so in this whole part right here supposed to be 13 inches, but if I cut it about 1/4 of the way on both sides, that'll leave me with 6 inches. I think I don't really do math that well, but you know that's what we're going for okay. So what I'm gon na do? I'M gon na use my ear as a guide and kind of just think like where on my head. I would want it to stop so I'm gon na try to cut off about this much of the frontal, because I want my sideburns to be out, and I want the wig to stop like right here. So I'm gon na try to take off that much on both sides. So to do that, so we take our ear and we're gon na go about that much so right where the frontal comes out. I'M gon na cut it right there, so I'm gon na take another T, pin and I'm gon na use that to go ahead and pin down this side of the wig so that it doesn't move just like that. And then I'm gon na go up and part out this section that I'm going to go ahead and cut. I'M just gon na use one of these type of clips so that I can see what's going on. Okay, so once again there goes the ear right there. I hope you guys can see so here we are, I parted off so kind of. I want you guys to really see this, so I'm gon na go ahead and zoom in so you can see the construction of the wig. So this is the end of the frontal here, because you can see the wefted track of hair right there. So you don't want to cut this. If you start cutting anywhere near this, it's gon na make the wig fall apart. You don't want that, so you want to just cut around it to about right here, and this is about how much we're gon na cut off so now that we have this hair out of the way and we know pretty much what we want to cut now. It'S time to take your scissors, so, starting from the very back the end of the lace, which is right here, you guys can see that's the end of the lace right there, and this is normally where you construct your ear tabs. So you're just gon na go ahead and cut this off and, as you go up, you want to make sure you're not cutting off any extra hair, because you want to keep the wig, nice and full. But all of this is gon na go and make sure when you're finishing this off to curb it. You don't want this to be super boxy, so just curve it with your scissors like that and when you take it off, it should look like this. We cut off just this portion of the wig and that on both sides should give you about a 6x6 filmy. As you guys can see, it's a really really clean cut and it's rounded it's not super boxy and square so make sure when you're cutting this don't make it too square, because when the wind blows you don't want it to look boxy, you want it to be Nice and seamless, and it lays nice and flat - you can't even tell that, there's a piece of the wig missing at all it just all blends in so that looks really really good. So this side is complete. Now we're gon na go ahead and do the other side, and I just kind of measure it with my hands, eyeball it and go ahead and part out that section and if you do it right remember on the other side, where I showed you guys that first Track it should be at that same spot. You should be able to see that very first track and that's kind of the guide to where you should cut it now. You could go ahead and measure this perfectly on both sides, but I am definitely more of a bolla and go type of girl and once again you see where the fronts will comes out here. It kind of swoops out right under that is where we're going to start our cut, because that's what we did on the other side and you just want to make sure all the excess hair is out of the way before you start cutting, because you don't want To lose too much hair out of the frontal you just want to customize it a little, and this is about what we're gon na cut off, as you guys can see. So it's literally just a small portion and once again I start at the back of the frontal. This side is a bit easier for me to cut, because I am right-handed and go ahead and continue cutting nice and rounded remember to cut this round, don't cut it straight and there you go same exact sized piece. It'S pretty much the same. I cut off a little bit more on the other side, but I think that's just because when I cut the ear tabs, when I originally made this wig, I cut it unevenly. So this is what it looks like with that piece missing and the same thing on the other side. So now that we've done that, go ahead and comb the hair down. So now that we've done all that, I'm gon na go ahead and sit down and show you guys how I can install this wig now that I've cut it into a six by six closure. So this is her and she looks really good now that she's straightened it does take quite a bit of effort to get it straight, but, as you guys can see, it did straighten beautifully. If I still have the footage I'll insert the footage of me straightening it the very first time, it definitely came out better this time. I added some soap therapy oil to it before I straightened it and that worked out a lot better and I used mousse on the top of the wig so that it would lay much flatter. I will insert some pictures girl. This wig was looking super bulky on top before, but yeah it looks so much better now. So let's take this wig off the head, because this is gon na be a really really quick install as you guys can see. It goes back six inches in the front and on the sides we cut off so much of this frontal. If I have the before footage of the frontal, I will insert it as a side-by-side, so you guys can see how much we cut off and now I'm gon na go ahead and adjust these straps on the inside. So I did fasten it quite tight, so we're gon na put this on okay trying to find the center. My wig cap is sliding back okay, so this is what we got going on. Okay. Now, when you look back you guys, you can see my edges and I'm gon na show you all how we can lay this and make it look really really natural. So now that the hair is straightened out, this wig is definitely a bit on the thin side. I believe this is supposed to be a hundred and fifty percent density, and it's probably more like a 130 in my opinion. So now I'm gon na go ahead and put some powder in the parting because I feel like the parting is still not sticking out as much as I want to, and I'm not gon na take off my wig cap. So I'm just gon na try to ease out that transition, and sometimes even though you bleach the knots, even though sometimes when you bleach the knots, it might not get the right color, so I'll usually have to go in and just put some powder in the part To make it look a little bit more natural, so that now that the wig is on the part is laid, everything is super flat. The hair is nice, and straight I'm gon na show you guys how I glue down this wig. I'M gon na go ahead and use the got to be glued gel. This is the Old, Faithful. I'Ve been using this for a really really long time, so this bottle is almost done and I'm just gon na go ahead and zoom this in. So you guys can get a good idea of what's going on brush here that I used to apply the concealer to my part and I'm just gon na go ahead and put it right here, because that's where the wig is gon na sit and just put a Little bit over here as well, and I try to smooth it out, and I just let that get a little bit sticky before I go ahead and place the wig down on top of it, then I'm gon na take it and pull it down on to where We need it to lay and I'm gon na, try to brush the hair out of the way so that it can really stick and so that the hair won't stick to the glue. Just Elise - and I just used a tip of my brush, so go ahead and lay it super flat. The same thing over here, I'm just brushing it back, so you guys can see what it looks like in this piece. Right here is a really really important piece, because we're gon na use this as the transition baby, here's without even doing too much. It looks really really natural, so I'm going ahead and letting that dry a bit okay. So this is what we're looking like and honestly you guys like wow, because it looks so natural it blends in with my hair, so good and it's almost completely stuck down. I know a lot of people love, baby hair and I usually do a baby hair with my natural hair as well, so I'm just gon na blend it in to my natural hair. Okay, so one side is done: I'm gon na go ahead and do the other side, and then I will come back and show you guys what it looks like. So now that I learned my lesson from the other side before I even lay the frontal I'm gon na go ahead and lay down my baby hairs, because I think it was a little bit harder to reach my real hair after I already laid the the closure Down so I'm just gon na go ahead and slick, my hair back as much as I can, and this is gon na just make it look a lot more natural and just make it easier on me later now. If I was getting ready to go out, I definitely would go ahead and tie my edges down at this point so that they don't go anywhere throughout the night, but I'm not going anywhere. I just did my hair to show you guys see nice. Well, I think, that's everything I really really love how this turned out. Let me know in the comments down below, if you guys are gon na try this trick out. Let me know if you've used this method in the past, if you guys like how it turned out, I'm probably gon na do this to all of my frontal wigs, because I hate frontal so much there's so jaime in it. You have to do so much work to them and honestly girl like who has time. This is my first time trying the uniess Brazilian kinky straight hair. I'Ve tried their body wave before and I've always loved their hair. So I would definitely recommend this hair to you. Guys, the only thing that I know it is is that the frontal did shed quite a bit after I bleached the knots, but that is to be expected. You using high volume, developer and bleach it'll. You know it might also the integrity of the lace and you might see some shedding from that, but because the frontal was so dense honey. I didn't even matter that it shed it a little bit because I had to go in and tweeze out so much hair I'll have on the screen. How much hair I tweeze out of this frontal. It was a lot. It was very bulky on the top and I went ahead and tweeze out a lot of its to get this really nice flat. Sleek look! So let me know if you want to see me, do maybe crimps in this hair. You want to see me curl it. Maybe if you want to see me, do like some parent stars with some braided in the front, etc, etc. Let me know what you guys want to see, because I would love to bring those videos to you guys, but other than that I really really love this hair so far. I definitely will come back and update you and do a full, dedicated review. But let me know if you guys, like this trick, share it with a friend because I'm about to cut all of my wigs into closures. Ok, because I don't have time for frontals they're. So annoying and high me in it so yeah. Thank you guys once again for watching this video. I appreciate all of your love and support and I will see all of you beautiful people in my next one bye,
