Watch Me Work | How To Dye: Ash Brown/Blonde 5X5 Lace Closure Wig | Britianna

Hey y'all welcome back to my channel, so today's video is going to be on how i achieved this lovely blonde unit with some ash brown lowlights, i'm so excited to show y'all the process. So, first we're going to start off with a 5x5 closure wig that i constructed myself. I used three bundles of 26 inch hair and i used a 5x5 14 inch closure. The closure is from the company, rio and the bundles are from a random aliexpress vendor that i found so i'll, definitely link the information down below and put two pictures on the screen for the products. Now the wig itself is a machine wefted unit that i made myself. You will see that around the closure girl there are hand stitches, because your girl broke her sewing machine needle trying to sew that last track around the closure. That was neither here or there and then i almost burnt my wig on a candle child. That was another story, so we went through it before getting to this point, but anyway, let's get into the process all right so to achieve the dark roots and the lowlights. I'M going to use the revlon color, silk beautiful color and it is in the light golden brown so to properly apply the color. I emptied out the developer and the color into a regular dye, mixing bowl and mixed it up that way and i'm going to apply everything with a small hair dye brush. So here you see me placing the die close to the base of the closure near the lace without actually getting the dye on the lace. You will start to see me slightly feather up towards the ends of the hair, but eventually what i'm going to do is bring that color all the way down. I start to bring the color down because i wanted to do like a large chunky, low light with the ash brown. So i start off very carefully by the lace and then once i get the roots saturated, i bring the color all the way down to the ends to achieve that full low light now to make sure that i don't have any blonde patches showing through and that I thoroughly saturate the roots, i'm going to take very, very small sections to do the color um for the first few minutes. You will see me just continuing to take the brown color all the way down to the ends until i feel like i have enough parting space for my chunky, low light got ta tell somebody all right so here you can see where i start to actually do Just the route so like i said it goes down, probably about an inch to an inch and a half, and i just make sure i get as close to the root or lace as possible without actually staining the lace and once i get towards the end. Part of where i want the root color to end, i ensure that i feather out the color with the tip of the color brush, so there's not a harsh line of demarcation between the brown and the blonde. We want a nice smooth, even transition like a flow like a gradient effect. We don't want just boom harsh line that ain't cute, that's clockable, and you know we don't like clockable on this channel. Okay, okay, if is won't, you pick me up at the park right now up the block. Everyone sleeps, oh boy. I hope your response is all right. Y'All now it's time to move on to the back, i wanted to add a chunky, low light in the back too. So using that same um box die, i only use one box, i'm just going to paint on the hair in the back all the way down from the base of the track and the base of the weft down to the tips, and i would say maybe this Chunk is what six inches wide yeah, something like that so yeah, i just apply the color in sections: try to get as close to the weft as possible without dyeing the other wefts and making sure that i thoroughly saturate each strand all right y'all. So this is the final result of me applying the light brown color to the back and on the roots and then my low light chunk in the front and so far so good everything doesn't look too problematic right now right. So i let this sit on the hair, for, i would say, um 25 minutes and then we're gon na go on to the sink and rinse it out. Alright. So there we are at the sink. I did rinse this out with cold water and i try to avoid the dye washing back on the lace, because you know you don't want to tint the lace or dye the lace and then make it darker and it wouldn't be able to melt and blend into Your skin, so i didn't add shampoo, i just you know suds up the dye and let it rinse off by itself. Naturally, without the shampoo. Now we have this hair, just rinsed out with water and now we're about to tone the hair. I want this hair to be ashy, i'm talking december and canada with no vaseline ashy. You hear me so i'm going to use my shimmer lights with the hottest temperature that the sink water could give me and i'm going to be very generous with this purple shampoo, because i want this hair ashy. So you see how much i put in the water stirred it all up and made sure that there were no clumps in the purple shampoo, because that would give you literally like purple or gray splotches in the hair. So i make sure that the shampoo is thoroughly mixed with the water and so stuff good. So we can get this tone right so after i have that i'm going to take the whole wig and i'm going to go ahead and dip it in the water, and i do a few dips just to make sure all the hair gets coated good because, like I said we don't want any patches where the hair isn't toned. So after i dip the hair a few times, i'm literally going to let the hair soak in this purple. Shampoo mixture, like i said we want this hair, big ashy i'll. Let that sit in there for five minutes and, oh, my goodness, everything looks so good and so toned. Look at that. Yes, child ashy, ashy ash. So now that we have that we're going to rinse the hair out and that's how the hair looks um, while i'm rinsing out the rest of the purple shampoo, now we're going to do a conditioner bath, because this is 613 hair. We just added more dye. On top of it, so we just want to make sure that the hair is nice, nice and nourished, so we can style it and achieve the best results with styling and that's how we look with the conditioner. I left that on for about 10 minutes and then rinsed that out and we got action baby. I love the results so far. I'M so pleased at this point now it's time to prep for styling, i'm going to add the afro g, keratin green tea spray and some heat protectants, a fantasia, strengthening spray and hair polisher, and then i added some more silicone polisher, just to give it more shine Because this 613 hair be needing, you know a lot of nourishment because it's been bleached and been through the wringer. So i apply all of that and i let the hair air dry to about 90 percent and then i blow dry, the rest and then coming up. You'Ll see the results from the blow dryer, i'm the man from the big beat hey come play around my face right, and so here is the hair curled. I just threw some curls in there really quick to cut down the styling time while it's on my head. So let's apply this wig girl, we're back in my bathroom, so you know what that means it's time to see the fruits of our labor so um i have. I have cut the lace but the foundation on the lace, because i still need to get some lace. Tint put on a wig cap, i did not do the ball cap method because i have a closure on, but if i really - and i don't plan on laying this wig down permanently with glue, so there's no point. But if i do decide to really really lay this wig, i would have did the ball cap, but anyway drum roll. Please it's time to put this wig on. Okay, don't judge my cookbook, my 26 inches hit the light fixture, make sure that's even actually, since i already have a part in there. I'M just gon na scooch that over to the side, because i like a nice deep part and i'm not sure, but i like any part, pull that down adjust as we may and we got action. There are some spots where i did miss putting in the root, but i mean it was our first time adding a little root. Little contrast, so i don't think i did bad, but here we are, we are 26 inches and this hair is true to length, like i said before, these were some bundles from a random vendor that i found on aliexpress so i'll have that info linked, but so Far, it's looking good. My low light came out exactly as planned. I wanted the low light in the front around the part and then just one right here in the back and she's giving what she's supposed to get and the girls are here for it, and i got my super ashy blonde. Oh my god, i love it. I'M in love and if it looks like i'm looking off, i'm looking at myself in the viewfinder - yes, indeed, um. One thing i don't like is this: hair does shed a little bit more than i would like it to. But again, i need to fix that, but again it's um hair from aliexpress. It'S not um, 100 virgin hair, no matter how much they say it is. This is not raw version. 613 hair. So i'm okay with a little bit of shedding um. The lace looks good on the closure. I feel i feel like it is anyway and i feel like the color came out fantastic. This is exactly what the girls wanted, so i'm going to plug up my curling iron and just touch up the curls, so we can really get the full effect so, okay, so i redid my curls and girl. I am in love with these uniform. On the other side, i am in love, 26 inches. I got my lowlights, i got my ashy brown and blondes and i am too happy imagine this with a full beat a full beat curls for the girls. Oh and the hair is so thick from the rooted to the tutor. Look how thick that ponytail is but yeah just imagine this with a full bead before bee. I cannot wait to serve y'all a look in this hair and i think i just found my 6 13 vendor period period.
