My First Time || Bleaching Knots On 5X5 Hd Lace Wig ||

Hi welcome to my channel so today i'm going to be bleaching my knots for the first time i have a 5x5 hd lace, wig from you, nice, wigs um. Here, i'm just showing you the cap construction, a little more in depth. So there's two combs on each side and there will be one comb in the back nape area. So i decided to give the 5x5 a try because i didn't want to keep gluing down a whole lace. Frontal um and i wanted to try something different see if this would be a little bit better for me. So let's get right into it, see what we need. Okay, so we need a spray bottle, so i use the shimmer lights. Purple shampoo, the shimmer light purple conditioner and they smell really good by the way, iso plus neutralizing, shampoo and conditioner that one had coconut oil um a 40 volume developer um any bleach. I chose the kaleidoscopes blue clips and a mixing bowl and brush. I got that from amazon or sally's, and then i got this wig hanger in a pack of three from amazon. I can link it down below just to hold the wig up when it was done also for wig storage and just to keep your wig looking nice. So here i'm just using my spray bottle to spray the rental so that i can make sure there's no hair in the way of where i'll be putting the glue so that the hair don't get bleached it'll just be the knot. So in this clip, i'm going to show you the knot, the little black dots that we're trying to get rid of bleaching them um to get them to look as scalp like as possible, no transparent um. The lace is really good on this wig um. I feel like it blends in very well. You know when it's up close to my skin, but we're going to try to get those knots. So in these next few clips, i'm just adding the bleach and the developer into a bowl and mixing it. I'M just following the directions on the back of the bottle and the package: okay. So now i'm just mixing. You know the mixture together um now again, not a professional, but i was watching a whole bunch of youtube videos and you know um. I'Ve been seeing the best consistency to try to achieve it's like a cottage cheese, so here you'll just see me playing around um with the consistency until i get it to that cottage cheese like texture, and you want that so that the bleach does not go through The lace and onto the hair, but just gets the knot. Okay, so now i'm gon na be placing the bleach mixture onto the frontal. So i'm trying not to press too hard like. I was a little nervous um doing this for the first time, because i didn't want the bleach to go through to the actual strands of hair and not just bleach the knots and, as you can see, i was struggling a little bit um and like there's, like A strand of the hair in there, which i will like remove um a little later once i realize it, but um yeah, i'm just trying not to press too hard but um just enough, so that it is going through to the knots now. Usually a lot of. Like my wigs will just come already done, or you know i will just pluck it or whatever i have to do to customize it, but with this being my first time actually bleaching my knot, um the process went a lot better than i thought it would. But you know it's still going to take practice. Okay. So now i'm just going to be setting my bones timer for 10 minutes, as stated by the directions on the products i was using. I then grabbed a piece of aluminum foil um to wrap the section in which i have the bleach on just so that it can process a little faster than he can be enclosed and it will be done evenly okay. So at this point i have removed the aluminum foil and now i'm just checking to make sure nothing has seeped through too much um. Now that my timer is done, i will be stopping that and in the next clip you'll see me showing you how i'm rinsing out the bleach from the frontal, and i am then going to use the iso plush shampoo and conditioner, the neutralizing shampoo and conditioner um With coconut oil - and it is going to be like this pinkish color at first i'm just letting you know like all of the product is not out like all the buildup isn't out um it restores the ph and just let you know that everything that is not Supposed to be in any leftover residue is gone once it turns white, so that definitely helps to let you know that you're on the right track and making sure that everything is out. Okay. So now i'm going to be taking the shimmer light shampoo and putting that on the frontal where we just did the neutralizing, shampoo and conditioner and just lathering that up i'm going to be lathering it and you know making sure that i am getting into the hair. To make sure that everything is going to be um, toned, correctly um and then i'm going to rinse it out, and i'm going to do it again and i'm going to let it sit uh for five minutes. As per the back of the bottle to get best results and y'all this shampoo and conditioner - i don't know if i don't think i mentioned it in the beginning, it smells so good fyi. It smells so good. Okay! So in this clip, you see me shampooing um the front tool for the second time, as i mentioned uh previously. That was my first time shampooing it so now in this clip. This is my second time and instead of rinsing it right out, i'm gon na. Let it sit for five minutes and then this next clip you'll see me setting my timer for the five minutes all right, so we are almost at the finish line. I'M now rinsing out the shampoo, and i have now added the conditioner and it's going to be about the same process. I'M going to condition then the first time then rinse it out and then i'm going to condition again and i'm going to let the conditioner sit in for 10 minutes and you'll. See me in the next clip setting my timer for 10 minutes and then i'll rinse. It hey y'all, if you have stuff with me until now. Thank you so much. We are at the finish line. I am now just rinsing out that last condition and we will see the results in the next clip all right. So, as you can see, i have not actually laid the wig down exactly how i would want it. You could kind of see my wig cap underneath um, but this was like right after i just put it on my head um and i just wanted to show how the lace is blending. In with my skin um, i did over bleach um over process. It um a little bit, but this was my first time and for my first time i think it came out um pretty decently um. Now, as you can see what i mean i over processed it, it has like that coppery finish to it a little bit at the roots um, but for the most part, i'm happy with it and right here, i'm kind of showing how where the lace stops and It kind of has like the the tracks begin, but i was just showing i could just cover that, but i would more than likely be cutting the lace a little more uh just so it looks more realistic and you know i'll doctor the hair up a little Bit so that it's to my liking, but for the most part, i really think i did a good job, i'm happy with how it came out. Thank you so much for watching. Please like comment and subscribe, and until next time i'll see you soon uh
