Synthetic Wig Hairline Plucking Tutorial || Ellis Atlantis

Hi everyone welcome back to our channel, so mmm you see mother titled. Today'S video we're gon na be doing a something a little bit different from what I've normally done, and this is like the beginning of this kind of how-to series here on my channel, where I'm gon na be taking like little sections of how I do things and Then breaking it down into like specific videos, so that you all can like digest and like learn from it a lot easier. So I wasn't actually gon na. Do this video cuz, I thought like no one would really care, and then I felt like Apollo my Instagram and then I had like nearly 4,000 volts saying yes to do it, so I was like okay, so the first video and it's kind of like how to Series is how to customize your hair line on your synthetic wigs, so whether you're spending 20 pounds 30 pounds 60 pounds 250 pounds on a synthetic wig. If the hair line isn't what you want, or you want to change it specifically to what you want, then this video is basically going to show you how I do that and if you follow this method like step by step, then your list will not rip. You will not get any damages or anything on the list and I've done around 15 weeks now, using this method and they're all literally perfect. So I purposely went out and bought this wig from Amazon and it's just your standard less front wig. It was 38 pounds. It'S just like a standard wig there's nothing there's nothing out of the ordinary about it, but what you can say is: can you see how the hairline is round, but can you see how it's just like this straight line, going all the way around from ear to Ear, which is not what we want, so this is kind of like the before you can see how line it and how block here is so now you've seen the kind of week that will work and where the hell I'm are working with. If you have this similar wig or this similar hairline issues on with that, you go home, then grab your wig get yourself together and let's just jump straight into this video. So my wig is just on the block here. Nothing special about that. You can use a polystyrene one. This is just a canvas one. I got off cameras, it was like 20 pounds. My stand was like 20 pounds. Now. What you want to do is you want to secure odds. Just put the wig on, like you would on your head so like where you know me would wear right and then what I like to do is I'm going to be doing this second, like this side here? First, like all this part of the last, so what you want to do is: is I'm gon na put a pin in the last down here just one down here, just to keep that like another one yeah like that, so this is a side when not pluck It so you want to secure this side down so you're, just gon na go with a comb and pull all the hair forward. That'S on the list like this. Can you see so you just want to come all forward from the halfway point and then can you see how you've got like the divide of your wig cap, which is here and then the list is here ain't? Can you see the seam whether join together? What you want to do is you want to get two pins, and this is important. You want to put the pin into the seam and then that way, when you pull in the hair out, he's not gon na rip. The list, because it's connected to this big seam and then you're just going to use a clip like this just to stick in it just to hold it out of the way and then you've got all this hair here. Okay and now this is the side that we're gon na be looking, so you want to do the exact same thing, but you just don't want to secure this side down, but you just want to separate the list in the wig cap. Okay, so this is a section: the list is no section. What you want to do with this is you just want to put a couple of pins in the bottom part of the list, and I just put a few in just to make sure it's really secured in, and then I also like to put in one just Up here as well like that, just for my last is down this: do the markers you end up cutting all this offer anywhere well, as long as you've got like pins like security and we're all good to go now before we actually start looking what you want To do is, instead of having a set Center part with a straight line. You want to get your comb and I just kind of go like back and forth as I move it back like this through the wig like that, and what happen is in there. Is it will give you a rough, the exact parts, and we just pull that up now? Can you see how the hair doesn't have like a set part in it's just kind of? Can you see here? No, it doesn't have like a step high. It'S just kind of like blend it and that's perfect. It means that you're not going to get any ballpark blood patches and you're not going to get any straight lines when you start plucking, okay, so I've just zoomed you in and now we're gon na have to start doing the plucking process and how I like to Do where now the first step, I'm going to show you you're going to do this from the whole last part, but I do in two sections to do my center point tomorrow this year and they do my center point to this year. So what you're gon na do first is you're just gon na get your comb like I said you just can do this kind of zigzag back and forth, like you literally just going like this, so this might come you let you just go in like this through The lace to separate the hair, so you just kind of going back and forth back and forth all the way up to when you get to the wig cap, where the hair is sectioned, you're going to pull up the highlight bar and then you'll get like a Nice thin part in which is not to quiz like that, then. What I like to do is get my comb and I'm just pulling like a bat calm, but I'm not actually putting any backcomb in, and can you see all that fluff for hair? That'S kind of? Oh and like that, what you're gon na do, is you get it in your between your fingers and then you pull really quick, so you get it in between your fingers like that, and then you put your thumb on the hair and then you pull it out And then you can see in my hand here that if you can see on camera, but I've got a few little hairs there now you want to do it in the tiniest tiniest little sections, because if you do too much hair, it will just end up ripping The lace or like damaging the wig, what you don't want to do - and you want you want to do - is you just want to do it until you've kind of you're happy with the thickness of the piece of hair? So again a light little back home and I just get it I'm gon na pull it out like that. And now can you see that you're starting to get like you can see little bit more of a part in space there? Now, that's just because we've removed the hair, so what you want to do is you want to take little sections like this all the way down on each side, just to pull up all the hair to kind of soften up the hairline and just thin it out? But before you move on to your next section, just brush your calms through it like sir and then you've got any excess hair. That'S in the ends, and you can see how much hair I've just pulled out doing the tiniest little motions. And that's all you want to do is just do it like that. Okay! So I'm going to take this section here now and I'm just going to bring it over and I'm just going to pop it underneath the clip, because that section is now done and then you're going to move on to your next section. So you can do the same thing zigzag you brush through the hair, like so all the way to get that seam at the back. As you can see, you've got a nice little section, that's a bit too liner, so you're, just gon na go back and forth. Just a bit more messy, but if you just do it warm like any line classic line like that, can you see nice and easy and then you're gon na get your brush and then you're, just gon na pull the hair down towards the room? And this is just gon na get all the little flyaway bits and then you want to hold the hair, nice and tight out here like this and then what I do is I just. Can you see how it's all fluffy on the top you just want to get it so you've got a couple of strands and pull that's all you want to do. Is you just want to get a couple of the strands like this and I like to kind of wrap it so like I got, I have it here, rub my finger in it and they put my thumb on it and then you can pull and you see How he didn't come out? That'S because there was too much hair. That'S what you want to avoid. So I know that there was too much hair, so I just go in get a little bit less and pull, and then he just comes out. I don't know it seems really tedious but like this is literally what I do from start to finish. So I'm gon na quickly speed through this half and then I'll come back and then we'll do the next section. So I've worked my way through all the way down to here, and then this is the ear parts I've left about an inch section here now, instead of doing this horizontal we're going to do vertical sections in it. So what I'll do first is I'll. Just go up doing the wobbly method by the zigzag method and I'll pull out my front part, and I don't really take much off of this. So what I'll do is I'll, just kind of run. My fingers up here to get a few little hairs and just pull out like that. And then what we'll do is the same method, just wobbling the brush up and through to get a nice section, and then it set it in the back home. Because I don't want to take as much hair from here, you just push the hair up like that. Can you see how it all got those up, and then you can just pick out the hair that you want to take and when I'm pulling out like, can you see here like that's how much hair on my finger? That is how much we're pulling out it's like a couple of strands at a time, and it's just really easier to do it like that and then just brush all your hair back like so, and you can take these pins out of the back now. What we're gon na do is we want to section off from here to here. This is like the area that I want to do more detail. Arms like help pull it back and I'll not go into the ground with my comb on like a little zigzag motion like this all the way around to here, which is the temple area, and when I've got that hair, I can just pull that forward like so. Like that, can you see now this hair here we want to keep this untouched, so I'm just twisting it off and then I'm just gon na wrap it around one of the pins. Now the same method as before, we're gon na take really thin sections and you're. Just gon na do this exactly my third from here all the way around up until you get here and then you want to do the exact same thing: he's gon na brush your hair and then you're just gon na. Do this near the Guru and then all the hair that pops up like that? I just like to get it wrap my thumb and pull back aware like this, and this is just gon na help thin out the front section. Then you'll just brush that back like that now none of my temple area is done. We'Re going to do some tweezer work on that, but before I go to that section, I actually just want to work in here a little bit just to kind of soften this out a little bit and then same again, just pull it up like that, and then Just so before we do the tweeze in I've just slicked the hair back with the little Clips like this, and this is just so that you can see what it would look like if he was wearing it. Slicked back took by engineers, etc, etc, and it also just exposes the hairline property. You can see exactly where you're going to be working from so I've just zoomed you in you can see the hairline. I'Ve got my tweezers here and all I'm gon na do is. I'M just gon na use this hand to pull back anyhow and then I'm just gon na start by taking out from the front like this in tiny little bits, and you don't want to do like a straight line. If you don't want to work like get ever how you want to go like every couple hairs like tweeze, move across a couple hairs of tweeze, and then you just pull back like this and just remember the share that you're working on sir. I know that I, like this section of my wig, to be a little bit further back. So all I'll do is I'll, just go a little bit further into it, just to thin out even more and then all you're gon na do is you're just gon na work through the hairline and rail alike. Customize it basically. So I'm just gon na keep working on this top section, cuz I'd really like it to be more pulled back and then, if there's any areas, when you run your fingers through that seem a little bit thick, you can just kind of lift them up and go Underneath and just pull a couple of as I like that, and then it kind of just gets you like a bit more thinness and now he's gon na brush out all the hair. So this next step is completely optional, but I think this is a step that makes it look the most realistic. So what you want to do is you want to pull the hair back up again or you're gon na be basically changing the hair for, like the hair, follicle or not you're gon na be changing the direction of that so it'll lay flatter. So basically put that, however, you want it, I like it more slicked back and then it gives more volume. So what you do is you just get the slide it back and you want to rob the curling wand over the top of the hair follicle and what it will do is it will flatten it and it just helps to flat and then not stand to get Them like as invisible as possible, and it makes the hairline soft for long and then you think, oh, he doesn't make a difference with it when you actually put a hot and comforta glue it down. Here really does now: you can use like a curling iron like a curling wand like this or you can use. If you have straight nerves, you can actually heat the strainer up and then use them on the side, and it will help do as well. But this is literally just what I use cuz I've got it and all I'm doing is just holding the hair like this and a lot of pressure, and this is just a really leather house floor now. Can you see like how slicked-back they look and now you can see, can you see how it's like a harsh line here, and then you see how it's like really feathering back? This doesn't look that great here, but I'm gon na go put it on my head. In a minute - and you can see the difference between this side and this side, and when it's on your actual, like you had you'll, really be able to see the difference, so this is it zoomed in. Can you see the difference now, like you can see? Like look, how soon like how feathered in the hairs compared to this side, where it's like a harsh line, can you see the difference? I look so crazy, like with I literally look so crazed like this, but what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na go off camera finish off this other half gets just the exact same process that we did here, but on this side come back. Show you the finished product and then I'm also going to show you some other wigs. I have done in different ways if I giving them like a deeper set back, etc. So I'll show you some other ones that I've done so you know all you can have an idea of like how far you can take it when you want to do it, but yeah alibi, kinetic and here is the finished hairline. So I think you're selling dim, but I wanted you to be able to see the hairline and like how beautiful it looks. I just trimmed the list down a little bit. I would layer better, so you could really see yeah, but I kept my widow's peak and yes because I thought it would be a nice little add-on to have on the wig, especially when I wearing a center pie. It will be really nice I'm. So when it's glued down that's, we will look like covering the sideburns, which is like perfect, but yeah. You can just see the hell and it's just now nice and soft, and I don't really have to it. Just looks perfect, like I'm, really happy with it, but yeah here's another lime-green, one that I did and you can. You can even see the hell out on this one like that's how like softer blondes like it's just so bilenda like it just looks so much better. Like this wave had the same hairline on the orange work that I just did, and I just plucked her to be more squares of this one - you can see it's like more here down and round where's the other orange one that I just added a bit more Of like an oval shape, this one's a bit more squared off, so this one is a beautiful platinum blonde which blends into like this green color, as you can say, like look at the hairline and literally and so on. So this one I really feathered in at the temples. Here'S when I wear real bits at a little bit higher like that, so it really gives me like this bigger square of forehead and then, like you, can see here. It would just happen in so beautifully on the sides, and it's nice and thick here and then really tapers out, so you can literally do whatever you want to do. Just use the method that I showed you and you lit. You can create any shape Helen that you want, so all in all we took out about this much half in the wig, which seems like a lot. But honestly he won't even know so like you'll be take another half that we can give like walls, a massive pile and honestly it's not that much. But when you are plucking, the wig remember to secure the layers, not the layers, secure the wig on the scene, where the lace and the wig cap meets, and then that way you want to add a layer and then make sure you pull out tiny amounts in Each section and you will not ruin the less. I promise you if you try and pull out sections are too big. You may damage the layer so make sure you do little little sections it may take longer, but it's worth the results and just take your time with that. Have fun with that and the key rule to remember is you can always take away, but you can never put back died of like you can put back if you know how to like, then let a hairline with the little needle in the hair, which is a Lot of effort so just live by the rule of, would you take it away? You can't put it back just nice and steady aware, and you won't go wrong, but yeah, I guess that's it.
