Ali Annabelle Wig Review | Lace Frontal Wig Tutorial | Style With Substance

Hi guys welcome back to style of substance and welcome to today's video I am going to be reviewing some hair from Ally Annabelle, a brand who sell on Aliexpress. They sent me a wig to try on review and just give you guys my thoughts on, so I am doing that in collaboration with them. That'S technical response for in this video, of course, and also for sending me this gorgeous unit which I'm going to unbox for you as well. So if you like some of that, then please keep watching. So ok, my package up very nicely. So it comes in this pink box and it says Annabelle bloom, your beauty, so I got an 18 length natural straight head unit. So comes back up like so this is the first time I've actually fitted a wig on camera. So yes bag me. So it comes with some nice stuffing just to keep the shape. I'M just gon na put that to the side and it comes in a net as well, so I'm just gon na take that off. Oh okay! So what I love about this is it's got like you won't be able to see on camera so much, but it's got a little bit of brown in it. So when the light hits it, you can kind of see them a little bit badly, but I think it's in like a natural black color and then it comes with some styrofoam. It'S it's sorry just to keep the shape of the hairline, so I'm just gon na take these pieces off. So, as you can see, it comes with a decent bit of lace, so you can create your sort of own style of hair line really and then, if you baby has like at the front as well, so we're just gon na see how this fits on its Servers 18 inch. I have to see on my head cuz, it looks a little bit. Shorter looks like a 16 inch. Maybe one of the longer layers are 18 and it is a bit of a kink at the bottom. So let's fit it. What I might need to do is adjust the band's alphabet. In fact, let me show you the inside, so that's what the inside looks like. It comes with clips for the side and the back and there's also one on the inside here and then it comes with adjustable straps there at the bottom. So you can kind of make it tighter if you want so I've just got my cap on underneath I'm gon na adjust the straps first, because I have a small peanut head, so I need it to be as narrow as possible. Just so it doesn't come off. So I'm gon na put it like right in the middle there. So, in terms of how I put my wigs on, I always turn them like upside down, and then I put my head into it, put them over like this and then get the strap at the back and just tuck it into my hair, pull it back like So then just slide it back like that. So I look crazy right now. We'Re gon na work on this hair learn together, so they haven't got a designated parting. So it's gon na need some plucking, but what I'm gon na do just find the clips as well on the inside just pop those in security. So we've got it on, but, as you can see, there's quite a bit of lace, but we can cut that off. Okay, so the laces will cut off so we're going to put it on again and just make sure the hairline is looking more natural. So it's still it straight line ish, but we can fix that. That'S just kind of hard luck it until I get a very natural look, so I'll be back on camera once I've done that, okay, so we've plucked and the hairline a little bit more. What we're going to do to define it is one keep looking so we're gon na put some eyeshadow or some foundation in here just to really get that part in pocket, so in case you're not kind of wearing a skin colors cap. Underneath you still get that definition and so the laced stops here. So I can only take the point so far, but I've plucked as far back as it's possible without bringing now I'm new to this. So don't judge me on my technique. I'M just doing what I've seen. No, I suppose, where it matters for it to have a most definition, is right. At the front, I've really tried to get that bit right. Okay, so let me bring the foundation and I'll show you what difference it makes. But it's all really starting to look pretty decent to do is pluck the hairline a little bit more as well, and let's do the pipe so that I'm using my NYX stay matte foundation in the shade deep golden and then just this little angled brush. I'M just going to squeeze a little from the top and then just draw that into the hairline. Then just work in so yes, you'll get foundation on the hair, but you can sort of rub in after I'm gon na. Look nice and thick not too thick, because you wanted to look a bit natural as well and but yeah. That'S all I'm gon na do on that. Still looking a bit weird, I need to tidy up the front of it, though, and and once I curl it you'll see the effects. So, let's just keep plucking, let's flatten down, I like the hair, come in sort of equally down on each side. So, let's flatten that down with these clips, there's actually quite cute - are these so we're getting there of the hairline a bit um? I think we need more color in the pot. I'M gon na get some eye shadow and add that and then I'm gon na curl it and show you guys what the finished product looks like, but so to define the parting. I'M gon na use a my morphe 35c palette and I'm gon na take probably this shade or is it this shade right here, which is the closest to my scalp and pop that in the pine there's gon na, be an element of needing to train your parting Because the hair sort of just flows - all hey, I guess, when it's fresh kind of just flows in the way that it wants to flow. So what we're gon na do is take a little bit on the hairline as well, and then what we're going to do is we're going to raise the hair around the parting up. So I think I'm using I just got some hammers in I'll link it down below, but it's the babiness ultra-fast, styling wand, it's the curl Pro 210. So what I love about this one is: you can set the temperature so at the moment it's just a power on they don't know if you'll be able to see and but we're gon na put it up to 210. Just the hottest heats up pretty quickly, just good, and so, while it's heating up, I'm just gon na be training these strands in the middle to just fall down like this, I'm gon na be raising them again, but I just want them to know which wailing yes And then just use that to kind of rate and that's up of the hair, it's time those flyaways see what I mean so now that part, it looks quite crazy, so we're gon na try and make this look a little bit more natural. So what I'm do is I'm gon na take a section to either side of the party comb it up. Okay, now the clamp is very prominent, so what okay? So what I would advise you doing is just putting it in like that. Get rid of that harsh line! That'S not what we want! Okay, let's try to not do that. On the other side, you we're just trying tonight nice straighten out silly curl that I put in okay. So now, let's part the hair and just the curls all through it, seeing us that's what we've started with anyway. Now you can glue this down if you want for a little bit more security, but it doesn't necessarily need it. So let's get some moose to tame these flyaways and some dry shampoo. Okay, so we've got some products here. This video is not sponsored by TG but guys hold on me, and so I've got two Bed Head products. One is called afterparty this one and ones called blowout they're, essentially both like shine creams, so silky, smooth, shiny hair for after the party. This one is styling cocktail, I'm brilliant smoothing and Dee frizzing shot. So let's go with this one, but really Oh, comes up gold. This gon na go gold in my hair. No, that's! Actually, I think it's kind of this, so it comes out gold in your hand, but it doesn't have a a color in the hair. Oh you're, gon na a nice Sheen. Let'S put this in the end as well: it's got a lovely smell to it as well, but yeah does give the hair a nice shine. Just what I get into the ends. Just took it off your hands, so that's yeah and then because I don't like the front of the hair to look like super super shiny, and I love the smell of this. This is a redhead by TG, o beehive dry, shampoo spray, and this has the most amazing scent of it. So so I'll just go over the top, and then it just makes the hair and once it's like sold in just more like light and fluffy. If you kind of don't like this sort of shiny, overly wet look, and it gives it back the body - so I always do this step after I've curled the hair and I comb it through just to get it into the other parts. The hair that I didn't spray so that completes my review of this gorgeous gorgeous unit from Annie, Annabelle hair. I will link it in the description box below, along with some discount codes and lots of other links that will hopefully help you guys in your search. I love the hair, it's really nice and silky. It'S got like nice, natural layers cut into it. It sits nice and flat on my head. Actually I'll, be real. It'S a nice fit for my peanut-head. So if you've got a small head and you want to adjust it, this is a decent unit to be able to do that with the hair is very soft. It flows really nicely and when you curl it, it just sits beautifully around the face. So thank you. So much to the guys at Le Annabelle for sending me this unit and for collaborating with me on this video, my first wig review. If you liked this video - and you want to see more of these types of videos - let me know - and we can certainly get our practice in next time - I will probably glue it down just to kind of show you how secure it is, etc. But the clips sort of do a decent job at holding it down flyaway. Is it easy enough to tame and overall just really happy with it? So I hope you enjoyed the video and I will see you guys in my next one bye. You
