$100 Amazon Wig | Install Beginner Friendly

Foreign, this is a wig that I received from this company. I don't know how to pronounce their name, but I'll put it across the screen here. This is a wig from Amazon, okay, I believe it was under 200. As you can see, the knots do need to be bleached a little bit and I struggled with that y'all gon na see, but they came with some lashes. They say mac. Now I was like what Mac okay, then it came in like a little box. Nothing too! Fancy it came with four Clips to secure it on your head and two stocking caps. So yeah they hooked your girl up right. Now, I'm just cutting off this little um. I guess tag, it doesn't really have the brand name or anything like that on there. Right now, I'm just hot combing, the lace back, because you want to get it out of your way. So when you get ready to bleach it and the reason why it's turning white like that, too, is because I also sprayed the hair with some hairspray. So that way, the lace um that way went around bleaching the frontal the hair doesn't give bleach too as well so yeah. I basically use the got to be spraying. You just see I'm hot combing, all the hairs back um, because this is a colored wig y'all. I'M not gon na lie. I was very nervous when it came to bleaching it, because I was scared you see, I just sprayed some more hairspray because I'm like I do not want this hair to start bleaching. It'S gon na look a hot mess. If that's the case, so the hair was gorgeous, it was really soft. There was some layers in the front um. I personally didn't like to wear the hair straight. That'S just me! I liked it better when it was Curly but yeah, because it seemed like a body wave like the hair, wouldn't just really bone straight. You feel me so right here, I'm just showing all the knots on the wig and we're gon na get started with bleaching. I turned the wig inside out now you see how my bleach is. Stick like that. That'S how you want it, you don't want it to be like falling off the spoon, all extra easy, and I just use the back of the spoon and applied a little bit of pressure to bleach the hair um. I did not leave the bleach on there long enough, so I had to go back and do it again, so I recommend you leave the bleach on for about 25 to 30 minutes um. I only did like 15 minutes that I ended up washing and I had to go back and do the process again. Um. If you ask me, the hair is not all that bad, because it's it's already colored hair, so you could try to finesse it with some makeup or just tint the lace. If you don't want to bleach it and you're scared, you're gon na mess it up. Now it was already a little pre-plucked in the front you can see like they did, pre-pluck it a little bit. So this is just me spreading the bleach. I literally made just enough bleach to cover the lace so yeah. As you can see, you you're supposed to apply the bleach from the back to the front, because the knots in the front tend to be thinner and they tend to bleach a little faster than the knots in the black in the back. So you want to make sure that you're bleaching the knots in the back first and then work your way up to the front yeah. I had to learn that the hard way and I did put a paper bag underneath my wig holder, stand thing so that way, I don't really get bleach on the actual mannequin head foreign. So, like I said after the bleach is on there, you're going to want to leave it for about 25 minutes and then check it, because every wig is different depends on how thick the knots are on the wig is going to give you an estimate on. You know how long you need to bleach. It see how it looks like frosting, like you just frosted, a cake. So now I'm just putting some foil on top, which I actually did this part wrong. Apparently you're supposed to put the shiny part of the foil down onto the wig so now this is where I got nervous y'all after that first 15 minutes - and I was like oh like I - could see the the hair started to bleach a little bit. So I was like it started getting brighter, so I started washing it out mind you. I had to go back over it and bleach it again. So remember, 25 to 30 minutes. Don'T just do 15 minutes like I did because, as you can see, the knots are still there and I was like what the heck. So I did not record me going back and bleaching it, but I'm just letting y'all know now. If you only leave it on there for 15 minutes, it's not gon na be what's up so right here, I'm just using the purple shampoo and I'm getting really good a good wash mainly The Roots. You know where the bleaches, I'm assuming the purple shampoo, stops the bleach from processing on the hair. Now I've seen some people talk, I use blue shampoo and all that I don't know the difference between the colors. I just use what I had and I made it work so here I'm just rinsing it with some lukewarm water, so yeah, I started getting a little nervous because I noticed that the roots in the front were starting to turn like a brighter red color. So I was like - let's not ruin it and wash it out now, but I did go back and end up reapplying the bleach to the back of the knots, not so much in the front. Okay. So now this is the next day. Basically, what I did was let the wig air dry overnight. This was remember. I went back and bleached it again so now and I plucked it a little bit, so I did do some plucking. Unfortunately, I did not record the plucking part and then here I just threw in some little curls, because I was trying to get a feel for the wig like if I wanted to wear it straight or curly and I did go ahead and stick with the curls. So I do want to say this: wig did hold curls pretty good um. I ended up once I put it on. I ended up doing some extra curls, some different curls and I layered the wig so right here, I'm just braiding my hair down. I literally did a silk press like two days before, so that's probably why you see all the flaky stuff in my hair, because I had it um like I had hairspray all in my hair and because I had it like laid down, and so that's why you See it's all flaking. My scalp is clean um, that's just the leftover product from the hairstyle that I had the day before, and this is me just finished, continuing braiding my hair down yeah. I was on the phone. I don't know who I was talking to. I was running my mouth down. Okay, so on this part, is where I put the wig cap on, so I did not use one of the wig caps that the company provided for me. This is one that I already had and, as you can see, I put it inside out, but it's okay and I didn't have any bobby pins to pin my hair up in the back. So I just tucked it up underneath the cap and it stayed secure from there because my hair was already silk pressed, so it was easier for me to braid it down rather than me, just like, washing and blow-dried it. So here I'm just pulling my hair all the way up into the cap. Now I'm pulled the the cap back, so I can brush my edges down. I really like this edge control. It'S called Edge, booster, the pink one. It'S legit y'all, it's legit, so I was just using that to brush all of my hair back out the way. Sometimes I even have to like shave my sideburns, a little bit which I should have did in this video, but I didn't because it helps the wig and the cap lay down easier. So now I'm getting ready to cut the ears which I would recommend you cut further behind your ear. So that way the front of the cap will lay on your head properly. I send a tick tock video like that, so I'm gon na try that the next install I do I'm gon na try to cut it further, see that side laid down pretty nice and then over here. So I should have cut behind my ear, not in the front, because now it's not gon na lay right, but you know we live and we learn so here's the part where I'm showing you that we're about to do the install so we're gon na do the Bobcat method, so right now, I'm just going to spray my hairline yeah literally it was called the video. I spray, my hairline right, because I actually like using hairspray for my bald cab method. Um. I have done it with the glue, but for some reason I mean I pretty much get the same results foreign really make sure those tabs stay down on the side, because I do struggle with those and I install my wigs and you'll see exactly what I'm talking About where I messed up at, but I'm not perfect y'all. This is trial and error. It still came out cute, though ain't. Nobody know, and I still got hella compliments on it. So yeah just make sure, like all your baby. Hairs are pushed out of the way because you know whatever you put the cab back on. It can slide some of them to the front. So here's where I'm just spraying that side time and I really wish it would just lay down on my head like that. But that goes back to what I was saying like exactly where you cut it. It matters, so I'm just pulling the wig down in the back to give it more tension in the front, so it actually lays flat. Okay, now, I know why the girl needs to be pulling the cap over the eyes and poking the holes out and stuff, because it gives it an even more flat install for your body cap. So now I'm just blow drying this. I think I use cool heat. I'M using this pressed powder and one of my morphe brushes this is the m115 brush any hair brush I mean any makeup brush will do and just make sure that the foundation that you're using is not oil based because then, if it is, and you get ready To go cut that cap it's going to lift right off your head, because all the oils from the makeup is not going to make the cap stick so yeah. I learned that the hard way too so I had to go, find me a little cheap foundation from the beauty supply store. That'S preferably your skin tone or maybe a shade lighter. So, as you can see, this pretty much matched my skin tone and now I'm just taking an eyebrow razor, which you can order. A bunch of these off of Amazon for cheap for cheap dirt. Cheap it'll come in like a pack of 65 or something for like twelve dollars, so I definitely recommend you do that if you install wigs often now sis be careful, because I didn't cut myself up okay, a few times trying to do this like and it's like, You don't want the blade to be too dull, because then it's not going to cut the cap right, but then child once you cut that forehead and you go put that alcohol in there you're gon na be in pain, you're going to be in pain. So take your time with this, as you can see, I'm struggling when it comes to them ear, tabs, okay, but it stayed down. I was shocked. I was like okay so that little that little hairspray didn't do. Remember be very careful with this. If you need to use scissors to prevent yourself from cutting yourself and then it's probably easier with scissors too, that way, you can cut off all those little extra straggly pieces. But even if you do have those it's okay, because once you apply the layers of glue, it's not even gon na matter like, let's be honest, everybody be trying to get like that. Seamless bobcat look like it really don't matter so right here, I'm just cutting the other side, I'm trying to get it in the camera, so you guys can see y'all why I was on the phone and then I couldn't even see. I was like. Let me pull this from around so why I like to keep it like. This is because I like to just pull that part of the cat back you'll see in a second yeah. I had to make sure you cut all of that off. I even had to go back on the other side because I messed up and then you could just take that and pull it right over your forehead and you're not going to be able to see it once you picture a wig on trust me if you're scared And you think so all you have to do is put a little makeup over that or you can just cut it in the middle and tie it in the back, but I wouldn't recommend doing that because it might pull the cap further back. You know - and you don't want that this is the part where I struggled and then I later realized it didn't even really matter it doesn't matter. If your cap is perfect or not so I tried to go back in with the hairspray, then I tried to use the thing to put it down and then I'm hoping. Okay, if I blow dry it, it's gon na stay in place, so it did for a hot second eventually started lifting right here, I'm just putting makeup in the inside of the lace, because I'm gon na show y'all a new trick. I got this foam like it's like tinted foam, so I'm not really too worried about the color of the lace, because I want to try out the foam, but I did go ahead and put a little bit of that Foundation inside the wig. So it can blend a little better um. I know y'all see holes all in the lace. That'S because I'm not perfect with plucking. You know I kind of probably overdid it, but the good thing is, you can't see the holes whenever I installed the wig and right here, I'm just blow drying that hairspray that I put in there to help the makeup stick, so it doesn't transfer over. So now we're using some rubbing alcohol. This is 70, just regular alcohol, Walgreens brand and you go ahead, and this is the part I'm talking about. If you cut yourself, you're gon na be stinging, it's gon na sting It's Gon na Hurt. I think I was hurting. I was nervous, I was like, oh my God, even if you don't feel like you cut yourself that alcohol is going to tell at all, I was gon na tell it all. So you want to make sure that your edges and everything are completely clean off with the alcohol. Otherwise the glue is not going to stick properly and you're gon na be looking crazy, so right here, I'm just doing a ratio from cap to my forehead cap. To my forehead, this is a method that I've seen on Tick Tock and it's been working for me, so I I basically did this now you see where that cap started lifting on the side. I'M gon na tell you how to finesse that so, instead of pulling that glue forward, I'm just gon na literally rub it right across. So you know it's not like my hair is being ruined or anything now y'all. I keep my edges. My edges. Don'T ever come off or nothing so as long as you're, applying this properly and you're, not getting it directly onto your hair, then you're! Okay, you see how I skipped over that okay. So this is the first layer layer number one. Yes, so we're gon na. Let that dry now we're doing layer number two: okay, I'm speeding it up a little bit because yeah we ain't trying to be all day. So this is layer number two now y'all see I'm shaking the glue because I'm running out so the first glue I was using is Ghost bond. This is the one that double I think it's called XL. Then I started using Jolly bond. That was like my backup glue, which they both pretty much work the same but yeah. I ran out of the ghost Bond, so I had to continue with the Jolly glue. I mean the Jolly Bond glue so again that part where I didn't, I'm not putting the glue directly over my edges for what for what the cap is not covering that so yeah. This is now the third layer. Now, if you want it to stick for a minute, you're gon na want to put three to four layers. Now, if you just try to do a little quick little install you don't plan on wearing a wig past like two days or three days, then you can only put like one layer or two layers or you can use hairspray. You don't even have to use the glue okay, so I'm again skipping over to my edges right there rubbing that right across waiting for it. To turn clear now I put three I put three layers. I just turned around to show you guys the back now, I'm going to cut off this back tab because whoever uses these, like, maybe I'm gon na, have to try to install my wig like that one day. So I can like put it up in a ponytail or something, but I never honestly use that in the back. So I'm just that little clip that was in the back. I'M clipping it to the center of my head, and now I'm pulling the wig forward now mind you, my middle part, might not be in the middle. It'S cool, though we're gon na cut the sides right there. So it's easier to lay the lace. When you do it in Parts always start with the middle, even if you feel like that part ain't in the middle just pulled a week forward, sis just trust yourself: you can always repart it. So now you can see where the holes are in the lace. So I have to pull the wig forward so that way, you know those holes are not there. Now. This is the part where I started getting nervous because I'm like okay, is it gon na stick? I freaking got the lace there right, okay, we're pushing pushing it into the lace, we're pushing the glue in the lace with the comb; okay, even if it doesn't stick all the way. If you feel like. Oh you can't it's coming up off your head. It'S okay! Don'T panic sis I got you, I got you I'm about to show you what to do okay, so now what we're going to do is make sure now. This is something I realized beforehand. You might want to cut them ear tabs off before you actually lay the wig down. So that way you have a better judgment of where to place the wig. I did not do that so clearly, you see me um the lace that was sticking there. Pretty much took the adhesive away and now it looks a hot mess, but it's okay, we're gon na still finesse it because yeah don't worry about it, don't even trip! So now I'm using that ghost um I mean that lace, Bond spray and I'm gon na spray. That all across the edges of the lace, this is just giving it that extra extra hold before we tie it down. Okay, so now I'm taking my scarf, you could take literally any silk scarf. I prefer silk because you don't want it to pull your lace up. So definitely something that's satin or silk, and I'm going to leave the wig right here in the video, so you guys can see as well too. I'M Gon na Leave a screenshot of which wig this is. This company did send me this wig um. I liked it. You know it was cute mind you guys, I don't really wear my wigs past, like three or four days I end up taking them off and wearing my own hair. Normally, when I put on a wig it's for like a special occasion or the weekend, you see that now. Why couldn't I do the other side like that, but it's okay! So now that we've tied it down for a little bit, but my song must have been on y'all. That'S why I have to do a voiceover, because I was listening to my music and I was not caring. So here I had to pull that lace up a little bit off my forehead, because I got a little too happy with spraying all over the place and now I'm just using the same razor that we used for the ball cap method and I'm cutting that lace Off, okay, still, don't panic! I know it's looking a little crazy on that side, I feel useless. I feel you so right here, I'm just following that line of the spray and lifting it up whenever I need, because and yeah you don't want too much lace left behind right: okay, okay, okay, I was, I was hopping myself up on this part. I was like yeah, we got this, we got this so we're still cutting mind you if you need to pull it up off your forehead, a little bit. Do that? Okay! I'D rather you do that. That'S why the spray is good. So that way you can go back in and I'm gon na show y'all how we gon na touch it up. Okay. So this part I was a little nervous because I'm like okay, we can't up both sides. We got ta at least one side of the lace. Tab got to be perfect, so here you just see me applying more right here. You just see me applying more alcohol just to get all that access product off of the side of your face. You do not want that clumping up and looking crazy. So here is where we're gon na do the baby hairs. I just okay turned up I'm telling y'all. My song was on so now we're just taking the little tabs out, so we can go ahead and cut our baby hairs. Now I was a little nervous about the other side I feel like I felt like I had to take more hair out to cover it up. Okay and then don't do this. I tied the side pieces to the front when I should have just laid them down. See I finally realized - and I laid them down so now - we're spraying some Spritz, because that Spritz is gon na give the lace that look, that natural look. So it's not like you can actually see the lace so make sure you put some Spritz on there now. I know we still look at a little crazy. It'S okay, we're gon na go back in with the spray lay that down right. We gon na blow dry that okay, because we needed to melt honestly. We really do. We need a slave to the God. So now I'm basically just melting that down and now we're cutting our baby. Here'S the same razor, the same razor, okay, okay! So now we're going to go in and continue to cut we're just cutting away cutting away. Okay, now I started curling the edges now this is where I started getting nervous again, because I'm telling y'all I did not really know. I wanted to cut the camera off at this point and, to be honest, my camera ended up dying on me in the middle of me recording, but I still I still got y'all Now You See Me Just you curl up, I don't I've seen the girlies curl Down and get perfect baby hairs, I've never been able to do that me personally, I like to curl up. So that's what we're doing make sure you get every strand or at least trying now we're using the Gorilla Snot. Okay, because you can use that or the black got to be gel, which I'll post that in the video too, so you can use either or but this is what I had on hand. So I used that in some mousse, whatever mousse you use for your wigs is fine, no particular brand. I think I use the olive oil mousse or the cream of nature mousse. So right here, I'm just molding my baby here and you want to hold your finger at the end, so it can stay. You feel me now. I don't know about y'all, but sometimes I have a problem with my baby. Here is laying down perfectly until I tie them down so still don't freak out. I know that we can still see the lace and that's where the um the mousse is going to come in. So here is where I got nervous again. Y'All and I started cutting some more because I noticed that the cap was showing so I was like. Let me cut the cap and over here I started doing the baby hairs on the other side right, so it was a struggle. I'M not gon na lie. It was a struggle, but we got through it, so I'm steady just playing around with it to get it to lay down. Now I did notice that one side of the baby hair is longer than the other. It'S okay, who's. Gon na check me it's okay, who's! Gon na check me, though I was just waiting to see y'all, could turn up in the comments. It'S okay, we're still learning so now. This is the part where I put the hair up, because we couldn't do the moves, because clearly you can still see our lace and it's not cute so mind you. You had to really shake this product and it was runny as hell. I need to find a different brand, so I don't know about using this brand y'all, but this is all they have my beauty supply store, so I had to make it work and Ling Ling talking about no refunds, so yeah I just had to make it do What it do so now, um you're gon na see that I had to use a paper towel because literally as soon as I squirted it, instead of it coming out like a mousse, it ran down the side of my face and I was like. Oh no. Oh hell, no, so I had to basically dab it into the lace, which is why I recommend you put it on the paper towel. First, if you are using this particular brand, I'ma have to get a different brand. If you guys know a brand of mousse tinted. Mousse that you guys use that does not do this run everywhere. Um, please let me know, but you can already tell a difference in the lace like it's starting to match my skin tone. So yeah, that's basically what I'm doing just being really gentle with it because, like I said it will dye the color of your forehead type. So I just went and placed that into the lace got some more of the rubbing alcohol and all the spots where I could see it was bleeding through on my forehead. I just went in and cleaned that up right, so once we, I know it still looks kind of orangey, but once we tie it down, it'll settle into the lace and it'll look more natural okay. So I believe this is where my camera got ready to die on me, but we just wrapped it back up again and let it sit for like another 10 minutes now. This is where my camera died, but I basically started um now. This is the lace. I'M sorry that it's recorded sideways y'all. It'S because I started recording on my phone because, like I said my camera had died and I was dedicated. I was like oh yeah. No, we're still gon na get this on camera period. So now I just put a little wax stick on my hair. Of course, you got ta, get your black stick in a hot comb and I did put some layers in the front of the hair, as you can see right before my camera died. As you can see right before my camera died, I did put some layers in the hair, so yeah and I went ahead and curled it and the hair came out cute draw. I was not disappointed at all, even though it was a bit of a struggle. It was still cute and then I did end up wearing it a couple of days later in a because it reminds me to that tap on the side was looking crazy, so I ended up wearing it in the middle part for a little bit and then I Switched it to a side part, which I will insert some pictures and right here, I'm just going back and curling any parts of my hair. I did curl this hair with my flat iron. It held curls very well like I didn't. I only had to curl it once a day. I didn't have to keep going back and going back and you know felt like I needed to read, touch it up or anything so yeah. This was this wig. If you like it, I will leave the link down below and you guys stay tuned for my next wig video okay. So if you liked it please like comment and subscribe, and we will be back next time. Bye,
