Short Pink Pixie Haircut On Full Lace Wig Install ! *This Was Scary* | Aaliyahjay

Hey guys welcome back to my channel, so today i'm going to show you how i got this pink pixie shortcut, it's like a little afro, but also a pixie cut. It was actually really crazy. How i did this, but i'm going to show you guys, let's get into it. So first things. First, i have a blonde kendra's boutique wig. I believe this wig is like 24 or 26 inches and so i'm taking little pieces of the hair and i'm testing the hair color on like little strands of the hair. I'M going to do it in the back and i'm going to do at the ends because i'm going to be cutting that off. So it really doesn't matter so i'm doing it on like a baking sheet. So i don't mess up my counter. So i'm using a new hair dye today, i'm using the artix is that how you say arctic fox, hair color - and this is in the color froze it's like this little. What kind of pink is this? I'M not sure, but i've never used this hair color before ever. So i'm testing the froze out and then i'm also testing girls night out. I got this from sally's and i thought this bottle would be great because it was a good price. The bottle was large, so that means it's a lot of color and y'all gon na see the problem i ran into so i'm dying, one strand with froze to see how it comes out in my head. I was thinking about mixing both, but i wanted to test it on the hair first before i do it like. This is always like the best technique, because sometimes hair color comes out totally different than what the bottle looks like um, and i want you to note that i'm doing this on dry hair. Okay, just please note that note that keep that in the back of your head. So now i'm testing girls night, which is a purple periwinkle kind of purple-ish, and this was cute and then i'm doing another strand where i mix froze and girls night together, which is what i initially had thoughts on. But you know i'm just making sure and i'm just testing that on a little strand at the bottom, i really was going for um what color, what color was i going for? I'M not sure, but these are how they came out. So this one is froze this one is girls night and the last one is the one that i love and it's the mixture of both. So i'm, like you, know what i'm just gon na do that, so i filled a bowl with some really really really hot water and i'm gon na be color. What is this watercolor in this wig? So i put some of the froze in and i mixed it up with a spatula and it wasn't light enough for me. The water wasn't light enough. Also note that this uh hair dye smells so good. It smells like candy like it's just oh, it smells so good. So i put more of the froze and it came out a little darker and then i also put um some of the girls night in it to make that color and i mixed that up as well. So now i'm taking the wig and i'm just testing out one piece of strand of hair or whatever in the watercolor, and it really wasn't going on that much, but it also was at the same time. So i was like okay, whatever. Let me just do it like you know, i wasn't really seeing a big change, but i seen it so i was like. Let me just dip this whole thing in here and let it just soak up, you know like. Let me just do it, so i did that and i literally kept it there. Let it soak in and i started to run the water through the hair so that, like um, the hair could be dyed on the inside. Sometimes people forget to do that and they open up the wig and it's still blonde so um. I made sure to like open it up and just you know swish it all in there, and so i wasn't really seeing a big change. You guys look at this. This looks like nikki's strawberry, hair um when she does like the strawberry shortcake hair. This is exactly how it looks, and this is not the look i was going for. It was still kind of blonde and i just was not feeling it. I'M like nah, like this ain't it. So i added more of the froze to the water, and i was like okay, we got ta like do more clearly like the watercolor is just not enough, and so i started mixing again, and so i started dipping again dipping again and it was going on a Little bit more, but not as much as it usually does. You know sometimes when i use different brands like kiss um. It goes on right away as soon as you dip it. It'S like the color, like it's so easy, and so it wasn't doing what i needed it to do. So i read the bottle and it said only apply to dry hair. So i'm like, oh my god, like i'm literally dipping this in water. I messed it up. I'M using half of the damn bottle, i don't have no more hair color, so i decided to take um the hair color on my hands and not put it in the water and just like put it on the hair and it was taking it a little bit More than it was when i was dipping it um, but it wasn't taking it as much as it should have or how it did when i was testing it out. So i just kept going and y'all like i just was like. Oh, my god, like it's, not working, i just thought this was a whole fail. I had set my hair to be done this day and it just was not working. So, as you can see, i just started like being crazy and i was getting scared. So i just started doing anything and just rubbing it on the roots, because that's where i need the color the most, because i'm doing a shortcut, and so i focused a lot on the roots a lot and i don't i just had to keep going in and Doing it guys it was not sticking to the hair at all like it literally wasn't. Sticking like the hair was still blonde. It was kind of crazy, so i just kept doing it now. At this point i was literally panicking. This look was supposed to literally just come out one color. As you can see, it literally looks like mermaid twinkle bell, i don't know, but it looks like unicorn hair, and that is not what i was going for. I was not going for like purple streaks pink streaks. I was going for one solid color, so this is how it turned out. As you can see, the ends are still kind of blonde and i just focused on the roots. You know i opened it up and put it inside because it was not sticking to the hair inside either um. I was definitely panicking you guys panicking for sure. So now i'm like you know what i just got: ta figure it out, and this is what it came out to be um a lot of pink a lot of purple all over the place, nothing really like coordinated. I literally like look at me. I'M doing it again, i'm like no, this ain't it like i got ta, do it again, so i tried again and i put more pink after washing it, and you know guys i was freaking out okay. I was like i'm done with this this. So i was like you know what i'ma still put it on so i put on a wig cap and just know: i'm not a hair stylist. This is all tricks and tips that i've learned from youtube or my hair stylist that do my hair. So i took a little wig cap. I cut my ears out and this is going to be what kind of holds my hair down. I'M using the ghost bond lace, wig glue and i'm going to go spawn the edges. Well, not the edges, but my hairline, i'm not putting it exactly on my hairline, maybe like a little bit before this glue, can really like mess up your hairline, so just make sure that you're really careful about it. It hasn't messed up. Mine um. I do have a little awkward hairline, though, which i hate. So that's why i wear wigs a lot but um, i'm really careful about what i put on my hair and my hairline. I don't put anything so you know i like to keep my edges. At least you know um so yeah, i'm letting that dry and then i'm going to cut the rest of the wig cap off, and this is just going to act as like my scalp um, which is going to be really good for us because we're going to Be wearing a blonde wig, you know you're going to be able to see the dark hair under. So we want to make sure we camouflage that with this wig cap, so to camouflage i'm going to be using some foundation. Honestly, it doesn't matter what foundation you use. Just pick your foundation color or something close to it, and i'm going to just be using a foundation brush to apply that foundation. On my wig cap and like i said, we want to camouflage so i'm basically making a scalp right now um, and this is how it looks. So. I cut off some of the back of the lace, wig um because of course, we're going to be doing a shortcut so that much lace wig on the back cannot be seen. So i just cut off a little bit. So i put the wig on and this is how it looked and it was it did honestly you guys this wig was not given to me like i'm, not into color anymore. I really really really love like sleek sexy hair. I love jet black hair, like i actually made it a thing to the point where i'm like, i'm not ever wearing colored hair ever again, but i just want to be different right now, and this wig was not giving me different. It was giving me synthetic that that uh hairline and then the color on top of that was very like beauty, supply store wig for twenty dollars like halloween wig. So i plucked a little bit of the um hairline a little bit. I learned that technique from uh, arrogant, hair on his stories or whatever um. I seen him doing that one time and i just plucked a little bit. I didn't pluck a lot because we are doing a shortcut, so it really doesn't matter and also it is a colored wig which doesn't have to be that plucked um and then i just put the hair, but straight back with a hot comb. Just so that it's like not in the way and here's me cutting off some of the lace, i'm not cutting off all of the lace, i'm just cutting off some of it, because i really couldn't see what that lace in my face, and so when i can't See like the potential in something i have to like, you know, cut something off so here i can see the potential it actually like. The lace looks really really good and, like you know, invisible or whatever, so that really helped me a lot. So now i'm just trying to figure out what the hell to do, i'm going to glue the lace down first and then i'm going to start cutting. So i just pulled the hair back so that none of the hair gets in the way or gets stuck to the glue, and i'm also pulling the lace back, and i know i'm going to glue like right around my forehead where that stocking cap was so once The glue was dried. I just put the lace down and um. I have plenty of videos on how i personally do this, i'm not a professional. This is just techniques that i have learned over time um, but instead of using my hands to push that lace into the glue, i'm using the comb, which is super helpful because you know sometimes our hands are really dirty, especially when we're doing our hair. It has a lot of oils and it can make the lace change a different color make the glue change. A different color is actually crazy how that works, but um so yeah. I highly recommend pushing your lace down into the glue with a comb. So now i'm cutting little sections because i still have more gluing to do so. The way i like to glue my wigs is in sections i like to do like right near the balls or stocking cap, and then i like to lay that down, and then i like to do the little sections right in front so that it's like super flat And there's no pieces of lace coming up, because that's what makes your lace not invisible, so yeah i like to do it in sections. I also like to do the front first and then i like to do the sides - the sides i always do last, and so after all of that was laid down. I took a little razor and cut off the extra lace. Now i want to say, be very careful when you're doing this part, if you are not used to doing your hair when you're, using these razors and you're cutting off the lace which is really close to your skin. You can cut yourself and you will not know until you like try to clean up your forehead and you're using alcohol. Then it's like burning, you can really cut yourself, and so you have to be really careful. Um i've done this a few times. So i know like how to be careful and hair. I'M cutting the sides of the lace. The lace doesn't look as good right now, but it's going to look okay, so don't judge right now. You know, like everything, takes time and steps, especially because i don't know what the hell i'm doing, so you can't judge me um, so here i am laying down the sides a little bit more. There was like some pieces coming up and i like to like i said i like to work in sections, so this is how the lace ended up looking. I actually ended up blending it a little bit more later on in the video which you guys will see, but so far i feel like this looks good. So then, i decided to dry the hair, and this is when i realized why the hell am i drawing all this hair, taking my time to dry this hair when i'm going to be cutting it like it'll, take so much more work to do this than to Just cut it and then dry it so i was like all right, i'm going to cut it, so i took some big choppy scissors and just cut it off you guys, like, oh, my god. I was so scared of this. Like you guys don't understand like i was literally shook, i'm like what did i just do. Can i achieve this? Look like i. I truly was doubting myself. You can't really tell, but i was doubting myself so much you guys, like i really felt like i couldn't. Do this, and then this is what i had and i was just like: oh my god like there's, no turning back like there's nowhere to go. I have to do this, especially because i have like plans the next day, i'm like i have to do my hair, like i have to like. I can't take this wig off, there's nothing. I can do so. I'M like okay, i'm gon na do this so so here i started to section off the back of the hair and the sides of the hair and also like, i believe, that's called the like the crown area um. I didn't want to cut the crown area. As of yet because it was just too overwhelming and plus i have like - i want to curl and cut the crown area a little different which actually made this cut more of like a shortcut than like a pixie afro, which is what i was going for um. But it's okay, you know it's whatever! So i'm working with the sides and the back - and i don't know how i had that little piece left but yeah, so i'm gon na start working on the sides and the back and truthfully you guys. I really had no clue what i was doing like i'm, not gon na lie. I don't know, and i took the crown part down because i was like oh yeah. I got ta dry it. So then, that's when i started to blow dry the hair and it dried really quick. Thank god. I knew that and this is when i started to just cut down the sides. I truly had no clue what i was doing, but i just started cutting it down. Like i was just taking sections and just making it shorter with a razor comb - and i don't know - i was just experimenting and just trying to get it to the length that i wanted, and so i just kept cutting and cutting and cutting and cutting. I'M not experienced at all. I have no hair styling history. I have never been to beauty school. I don't know how to cut a shortcut. I don't know anything about what degree you're supposed to hold the hair right in the air and cut like. I don't know any of this stuff, i was just winging it you guys. I had no choice, it was already glued down on my head, so yep i'm just cutting, and this is what i came out with. It was weird - and i don't know so. I started to section it off because i'm like okay, like let me, start curling and see like where the hair is at and i got. I started really doubting myself because it was so ugly, and so i took a little small, hot comb or not a hot comb, a flat iron and started to curl um, and it was not given like what is that like? No, this was not it, and so i don't know i was really. I was so confused, so i just kept going and going and i was like, let me just like keep curling and when i was on the phone with my mom earlier this day. She told me to curl each section in like different ways, alternate the curling patterns, and so i tried to do that and it was not what it just wasn't it i i don't know. I was really doubting myself. I stopped a few times and i had to take breaks to like calm down yeah. I don't understand like look at these curls. This was not it like you guys. This wasn't it so i just kept curling and curling and as i kept curling, i realized that in the front my sections were way too big and that they needed to be much smaller, and so i just kept trying and trying to figure it out in it. I didn't like it i felt like i was like a cartoon i felt like i was part of like lazy town or something i don't know what i'm trying to like what i felt like, but i just didn't feel like me so here you can see that It was nighttime i had took the curls out, i wet the size of the hair and i blow dried it again, so i could get straight and i started to cut the hair a little bit more. I was really sad about it and i um had minelik's like razor that he like fix up his beard with, and i was like you know what like this hair, is really puffy right now. Let me take a hot comb and just try to lay it flat and then i can try to curl it or something you guys. I i don't know i was kind of trying everything, so i decided to take the hot comb, the flat iron again and curl. Smaller sections, and so i did that and as you can see, the curl literally fell instantly like soon as i touched it, and i don't know, i was second guessing it. So i was like. Let me just work on the back and like lay the lace in the back, because i was so lost, i had to call my mom a few times to get some reassurance and she told me to take smaller sections and make sure that the curl is really Really tight, so that i get this exact look and i was just like. Oh so i started to do it in smaller sections started to curl. It really tight making sure i put a lot of heat to it and it was coming out exactly how i wanted it to a little bit. You know um, i kind of wanted more of like an afro like my initial idea, was an afro which i'll put on the screen for you guys and yeah. As you can see, i don't know what i was doing here. It was like finger waves or something - and i don't - i don't know what i was doing, but the girl i took out the curls by accident and i just wanted to see an experiment. So i was like okay, this ain't it. Let me put the girls back in so i started over again and i was just like i can't give up like. Let me just keep trying keep trying keep trying and the curls like the more. I practice the curls, the better the curls were coming out, and so i just decided to keep going throughout the rest of my head and whatever needed to be fixed later on could be fixed. So here i am uh. You know curling it again, but my mom told me that the oil would that i was using, which was garnier. It was way too light for the hair and i needed a heavier oil. So i started to use the main choice: hair oil, which was way heavier. It has a lot of biotin in it, so it's really really thick and that really did help the curl form into what exactly i was looking for, as you can see like it literally helped so good um. So i just kept doing that on each section making sure i took really small sections and curling it and right here i actually was really doubtful as well, because it looks so freaking ugly like what are these curls, they looked weird. I didn't. I didn't see the vision and i kept calling my mom like ma like how does this look so far she kept saying, keep going, keep going, everybody kept saying, keep going and i was just i don't know so by this time i had finished the back and I was like okay, i'm i did the side in the back. I didn't do the other side and i was like. Let me just start working on the front. So oh wait did i do the other side i probably did, but i was like. Let me start working on the crown area, because i need to see what the hell is going on like i'm not about to sit here all night, you guys i was doing my hair for like eight hours, okay, i was not about to sit there all night And then i finished and it come out busted absolutely not so i was like. Let me do the part that you know i really have to work on and, like my mom said she said alternate each section. So if you go left on, one section go right on the other section, so i started to do that and i started to curl it really tight and they were coming out cute really really cute. Well, not that one you see like it's so easy to make a mistake like that and then, like i don't know kind of like just get really doubtful, and second guess yourself, but i was like let me just keep curling it over and over and see. So i was still curling the top, and this is when i realized that the top is like way way too long for what i was going for, so i did go off camera and cut down the top a little bit more with that razor comb after i Was curling it and once i did that, i felt much better and i was still second guessing it and i was not sure about it. I literally felt like a lazytown character, so i had to call my mom and just like get some tips and help from her and some reassurance all right. So real quick, my mom is helping me because spray, it real, quick and then hold it, hold it on the sides right, yeah hold it on the sides, don't strain so close, oh yeah! Go ahead, go ahead! All right hold it hold it right now, press it like that. Yeah like that press, your front, give your some bulk yeah like that yeah. If y'all don't know, my mom has a shortcut, so she knows all about this life. I do not. It does look more like mohawki a little bit. I got ta wrap it um. Let me put some hairspray on this because you think i need to put hairspray on the thing you can do it tomorrow. Yeah you. Can you just a little? You can do that? Don'T get so close, it's too oily for me, you hold it so damn close cause it'd be spraying me in my face, and i don't like that wait. Let me just feel like nothing. I don't don't tie that yeah yeah, okay, yep and you can pull those sides down. If you want to to leave your curls up the side yeah, you can pull that down if you want yeah like that. Oh, this is how you be looking, but i told you that tie your scarf. I tie my scarf. I really don't know how to cut at all, but you should have sent it to me and i'm going to cut it and send it back. You know how to cut on real hair. My wigs are not the same. I bet you, you got ta, hear every freaking wear everywhere. Look at this girl. I can only imagine i remember those cuts in the house, it's literally everywhere, so this was the first day that my hair was done. I was so skeptical about it, but i realized the reason why i was skeptical about it is because i did my makeup wrong. You guys so i'm normally used to doing a winged liner. You guys know i love my winged liner and i did really thick brows, which was not the makeup for this look. I think it was a little too harsh and i was like you know what the next day i'm going to change it up, do something really soft and dewy with highlighter matching, and so this was the next day after that, which i felt like the makeup just Complemented the hair much better, i used this like mac highlighter that had a lot of pink in it and it just felt. I don't know this felt so much better. Like i did my brows different, i didn't do any wing. I did really dewy dewy skin. I used a lot of cream blush um. I actually did a makeup tutorial on this look, so that's going to be up very very soon. If you guys want to know all of the stuff that i use, because i absolutely love this look. This is not usually my go-to. I used some drugstore eyelashes for this as well, and it was amazing, so this was the finished product.
