Transforming My Frontal Wig Into A Natural Sew-In Using Ivy’S Flip Over Method

Hey guys, it's me Tommy and I'm back again with another video in this video I'll, be showing you guys how I recycle this noodle full-frontal into this a bomb natural-looking soand. Yes guys! This is an easy tutorial for you guys. I swear to you guys. You know how to do it when I show you how to do it, so, let's just jump right into it. First things. First, let me give you the specs on this hair. I am rocking my hair gala creme movie and goddess kinky curly. Here this wig was two bundles of sixteen inches with a 16 inch frontal, I'm going to dismantle and take this wig apart and I'm gon na turn it into its darling guys. So first things first is you're. Gon na put your wig on to your mannequin head, and that way you can it. I think it's easier when you put on the mannequin head that way, you can see the tracks a little bit better. You can see the thread a little bit better. You can disassemble it I'm using my exacto knife to take a part of take my wig apart. We'Re seeing things take my wig apart, and the reason I like to use an exacto knife is because it's nice and sharp and it has that nice sharp edge. That way, you can actually get to the thread. Scissors is kind of hard because sometimes you can't really get the thread. But when you have something, that's really really sharp. Like an exacto knife, you can use a razor also, but that's really scary, but the exactly right. Actually gets to the thread you can just pop it out and look there's no damage to my front row whatsoever, so I can put that to the side and recycle it for another time. Next, I'm gon na do the same thing using my exactly knife to pull my bundle apart, I've recycled is here so much guys. It'S just like that's what you do. I mean who has time to buy new bundles if you have grundles that you could just review all the time this clip, I'm showing you guys, I'm just putting away the top part. Remember I told you guys I'm rocking two bundles, so this hot part is gon na be put to the side and then the bottom portion, so we put to the side as well. So I know the difference between the two, since this here was a regulator now. So after I take those bundles apart off my leg, now it's time to sew it on I'm showing you guys my braid pattern. If you guys want a detailed tutorial on how I do my braid patterns, I definitely will show you guys how I do that and have it connect my braids just leave the comment below. Let me know so. That'S my braid pattern. I connect all of my hair together, so it centers one single braid and I'm going to be using a weaving cap instead of a weaving net to use as a base to my sewing purchases from a beauty supply store for $ 2.99 hair. I'M gon na be putting my hair for allies onto my head. I love this guy's. It stinks so bad, but it's so good for your growth and the reason why I have it in a plastic bottle is because of the tube that it's in doesn't really last that long. So what I do is I squeeze the contents or the product out of the tube and into a plastic bottle and plus it's better application. As you can see, I can get to my scalp. I can massage and rub it in and then I'm gon na put my wig cap on top now with the wig cap you're going to get some excess on the top. Don'T worry about that excess! You can always sew over it. So right, Hampshire with the excess, is you just tuck it in and you can just sew your tracks right on top of it? So that's the bottom base right there. That was the bottom portion of my wig. I'M gon na go ahead and sew that one on first and the way that I'd like to sew my curly hair is I like sit so sort of in, like a you form or C form depends on which way you're looking at it. So that's how I'm gon na do it and my first base is the reason why I love using weak have a sort of a like that, because I can just sew right onto that elastic band and it doesn't give any tension. So my action linear. So that's what I'm doing right now! I'M gon na split my thread in half, so I can get my first base and then I'm going to go ahead and just sew along. So, as you can see, I'm splitting it in and then I'm gon na show it on to the elastic band only just going around the wefts now the first one when you're packing it down, you can go through the website. After that, I definitely would suggest to go around your webs that way you get less shedding, but curly hair, your hair sheds anyway, because you're doing so much styling to it and you're constantly washing it. So you don't want to add to the shedding by sewing 3d web, so please sew around it, and the reason why you see me struggling is because I'm trying to get through the last equation up here versus like making a wig. When I tell you guys, don't sew through the elastic man, you can definitely do that because it's already on your head. So that's what I'm doing is I'm sewing through the elastic band. It helps get the club tracks closest to my head and I'm just going to continue to sew once I get to the top. Another tip is to not put your tracks, because that also causes shedding also, and then you can't really recycle your here. So I am not gon na cut my tracks, so I get to the top to do the I do flip over part, but hey, I'm just showing you guys that I'm just going to fold over my tracks, I'm gon na keep filling along just tacking the hair Down at each fold, if you're doing a sewing with curly hair, please please please, please, please so really well, because you want your style to last for a very long time. So if you need to go over that one fold over and over again, keep doing it, especially when you get to the end of your track tack it down as fit as possible. That way, it doesn't look. Another tip is to add some long bobby pins to help secure your wefts down. When I make my mannequin head, I like to use t tends to push it into my canvas head, but what I'm doing it so, and I want to make sure that my track says aim. So what i do is i take bobby pins and I help pass down the track or keep the track down as again. I'Ve been rocking this here since January off and on off and on - and it's just given me so much versatility - a lot of people. Don'T really have the budget to go out and keep buying new webs over and over again, so I'm just showing you guys different ways. You can recycle your gear now that my first bundle is complete eyes. Look like show notes from the last dragon. So that's my first bundle. I'M gon na show you guys the spaces that I do with my curly hair. I like to leave a lot of space and because we're curly here, you tend to attempt to get really really big. So I leave a lot of space in at first and then once I'm done with my install. If I have any left over here, then I'll go inside and I'll fill in some blanks. So that's one thing about makers. Sometimes we tend to think like. Oh, I need three bundles or I need four bundles with pink curly here but pinky. Clearly here it gets really big right, I'm just showing you guys, I'm just gon na go back in, for when I'm doing my second bundle, but yes so leave that spacing out and I'm showing you my edges too, but leave that spacing out what you're doing curly Curly so in and then just fill in the blanks after where you need to fill in so here I'm doing my second bundle. I, like I said to you before I'm going horizontal in a cross. Instead of doing are you because I want to create that rectangle? That IV does to do my flip over again still have not cut any tracks, as of yet I'm still going ahead, and just going back and forth back and forth just to help. So I can recycle this unit that this unit is so and once I take it out now, I'm finally cutting my tracks, because what I'm going to do is I'm going to air accordingly for the flip over methods. So I'm going to go horizontally across my head and then I'm going to go vertically back. You choose this bag. You want to do the flip over at, since I like having my hair fold towards my right side. That'S where I want my little. Would it be so that's where I'm going to do so decide where you want the flip over to be? Is the side that's going to go horizontal or maybe verticals so going from the front to the nature of your head and then the side? You want to hide. The flip over would go from the front to the back or the back to the front. If that makes sense, so, as you can see, you can tell what side I'm working on, which is my left side, that one is going from side to side, so it's going to be going vertical. If that makes sense, then I'm going to keep going up and then that's where I'm going to flip over my hair. Another thing too: I wear a headset at work, so I usually wear my headset on my left side so that guy really wants to flip over feet. So I'm showing you guys that I'm tacking it down on that elastic band, making sure it's nice and secure and of course I like to watch and listen to my fellow youtubers in the back. So the back is a tutorial from I think her name is pronounced. Charlie on for treats I'll link her video below because she actually displayed in that video, so I was actually I'm always learning, especially when it comes to frontals. I am NOT a pro at frontals, so I'm always trying to learn. So I'm constantly watching YouTube videos to just teach myself on how to do that. She actually slayed this video, so I'm gon na put that that's a tutorial below, so you guys can check it out. But here I'm just showing you guys and I'm taking my trying to tack down that edge and I'm swimming on to the elastic band. Just to give my my hair less stress, I don't want like when I take my sewing out that my hair was like falling out, because I just put so much stress on my hair now, unlike ivy, she actually cuts each track. I'M just gon na fold first and then cut it makes no sense thing. Is subscribers I'm gon na be thick, but I still do that because I just don't. I don't want too much cut tracks in my head because I just cause a lot of shedding and I don't want my install to start falling out because it's shedding so much so I'm just gon na fold right there and then I'm going to slow the way Back to the front, then I'm going to cut it always remember we in tighten it down, so you tack it down, especially on the front, just make sure that you're you're sawing pretty good, because that's the front that you don't want, you know the part. You don't want to just look up at those. That'S the part you looking probably see the most in the back. Now I'm gon na go ahead and I'm going to touch that track and then I'm going to continue to sew along and just do the same thing until I have a little little square on the side to start sewing backwards. Obviously, I'm gon na show you guys what I'm talking about wide. So it's good to explain it as well. So remember if you want to flip over to be on the left side, you're going to stack it like going from your ear up turn right here on my left side, if you want it on the right side, you're gon na do the same thing. I'M doing here for doing right side that way when you flip it over and you don't really see it so, as you can see, it's really hard to see my tracks when I'm pulling it back. That'S what gives you that illusion? If you want to check out Ivy's method to see, maybe she explains it better than me I'll, also link that below or you can easily do a search in YouTube. I'Ve equip over method, and you can see it so right here - is that little box that I have left when I told you, I'm gon na, be going for my Nate to the front of my hair, starting it that way, that kind of hides the illusion, and That'S the way she did it. She also upgraded her flip over method. The way she did it was she's just constantly just stacking it. I can try to do it so in that way, so you guys can see it as well. Well, you can just check our video again. Just type search bar you'll be able to see it, but with her she cuts her wax with me. I'M just gon na keep flipping over as much as I possibly can. So I'm just gon na keep flipping it over until I'm done tacking it off to the front, and that's basically it I think, with having two bundles in my hair. It took me about maybe two hours to do this. I have that little space right there. I should have put a tractor, but I'm like my hair's pretty thick in the front, so I'll be able to hide it, but I'm just showing you guys how it looks in the front super super natural and then obviously, I'm gon na take my natural hair routes To blend with it, so this is the final look. This was day one I'm gon na show you guys how it looks day 7, with my hair. All blended in that here is washed and detangled and conditioned, and just looking so Bom - and this is the way it looks so again the clip that you saw me even doing this so and that's on Sunday. Actually, this clip right here is from yesterday when I was styling my hair, and I love the versatility of it. You can pin one side back with bobby pins, get that nice chic. Look! Yes, yes, yes or you can actually pile it up on the top and do that half-up half-down method with it just make sure you have enough leave out and just excuse my edges, because for that or you could just rock it the way it is an unnatural Sullen, I love the way it looks. I did a poll on Instagram and my jar of you guys thought that this was my hair and how to sew it. So I just want to thank you guys for watching this video.
