Jessica Hair Lace Wig Review | 10 Tips For Lace Front Beginners

Hey guys it's Brittany and I'm SuperDuper excited. I just got off of work and I came home to this Amazon package here on my front porch and I wanted to share with you guys what it is. I wanted to capture my first opening of it and all of that, so we can. You can really see what it is that I'm getting and go from there. So with further ado, let's go ahead and jump in. I ordered one of the Jessica hair wigs. I will put the link in the description box below it, came in this yellow Amazon packaging and it says Jessica, hair on it and that's pretty much it. So I have my scissors here: I'm gon na cut it open and we're gon na just go through it and see what's in here, because sometimes I think it's important to see exactly how stuff come shipped to you. So you know what to expect and I'm just cutting the top of it off so that you know it's expecting. You know what's going in there, sometimes people don't share all the lovely details and how things are so I I wanted to include that plus. I'M super excited okay, so opening it there's nothing else in here it comes in a box and that's it. Okay in the box there's Jessica hair. This is really cute packaging, it says Jessica, hair and it has like a whatsapp number Instagram email, okay, so I'm open in the box - and this is the hair. Okay, it's in a giant Ziploc, freezer bag style and, put that aside, it comes. I got to nail files, I'm not sure why I have nail files, but two pink nail files, they're cute: they will be used and then I also have a wig cap, a black. It looks like a knit um wig cap. So, there's that - and that's it this in there, so I'm gon na toss this stuff aside and get straight to the wig cuz. That'S what we're here about. Hopefully this week is what is supposed to I looked. There was tons of pictures, I'm hoping that this wig looks like exactly what I saw online, because if it doesn't, I'm gon na be so hurry you guys so sorry, so I'm pulling it out of the bag and it is does coming in debt. Okay, so it comes in a net toss that to the side there's some stuffing on the inside, so this is the wig. So initially the one that I got is the. It is not a full lace cap. It is just the 13 by 7 lace front. Oh, I believe so looking at the hair, the hair feels really great. It feels like regular hair. Oh I'm gon na tell you there's a smell okay, so it does have a slight smell. It has that weave smell, not the corn chip smell, but just like this is fresh weave smell it has that smell. I don't know if it's like a perfume based brown hair. I don't know, but I know how to get rid of that. So this is how the inside of the cap looks. I'M hoping this is close enough, so you guys can see. This is the inside of the cap um. The part is already, I see a part is already set here. It looks like it is a side part, but I mean you can also make it a middle part. I mean it since it is lace. This is the lace on the front and, like I said, I did not get only had the 13 by 7 lace front. Not the full lace cap, there are 1 2 3 4 cones that are total of 4 combs 2 on the sides 1 here in the crown, and then one at the back. There is a little bit of lace here at the back. There is a little bit of lace there at the back. So maybe if you wanted to cut that and try to you know just for pulling it up purposes, you could, but I'm not gon na, do that. I plan to wear this this one down here. I see a few baby hairs that are cut, but I don't see a whole lot of pre plucking, like it. It'S been pretty punked, but for me and I feel like for the best you know ability of this unit. I would say to go in and pluck some more. I definitely will be doing that I'll. Definitely the knots tending to lace and going back in and really breaking some of this up just to keep it from looking as Wiggy. But I'm super super excited and it's the same on the other side, how I can how I'm judging it is basically about looking at the side of the wig, I'm seeing like you know, usually when it's been pre plucked, there's kind of a pattern. You know like a back and forth pattern here near the lace and I'm not really seeing that so overall, I really I'm really shocked about this wig, but hopefully this out-of-the-box thing can show you guys what it looks like: hey guys, it's Brittany and I'm back with Another video and this time I'm reviewing this hair, which is Jessica hair. This is a 12 inch unit and is 150 density. I'M not sure exactly what this curl pattern is, but I will put the link to the unit in description box below and I did get this unit off of Amazon. So that's exciting, so mmm my first time doing it. I understand that it's not perfect. You know it's definitely at my best attempt. My best is yet to come, but I do want to give somebody some tips and advice that I learned that can help them so that their first installation can be even better than mine, so let's jump into it. So, first off, like I said, this is 12 inches, so this is the length of the hair. The crop pattern is absolutely great. It'S 150 density. It does feel to me a little bit on the finer side. If you like, a lot of thick full hair, then you're gon na need more than 150 density. But to me I like how big it fluffs out very nice. I, like my fluffy, bigger hair with this unit, wet it. It looks absolutely gorgeous so right after I started it, and even if, when I left earlier before, what's in my little Christmas dinner, I went the hair down just took some water weighing through it and it was wet and hanging, and it just looked amazing and over Time you know between me doing this and it drying out it just got bigger and bigger, which I love awesome. So the lace did pree plucked it. This is the 13 by 7. I believe frontal closure. There was lace in the front for combs on the inside and then there was a little bit of lace in the back, I'm not sure. If that was for just to be there. I don't know I guess, then you could cut it off and glue it down in the back if you want it to, but I'm not gon na do that. I actually just cut that piece of lace off. I don't plan on putting this unit up in any type of manner. I will probably do like a slicked back or something but not pulling it up, so the first tip is, it would install the any frontal unit I feel like. That is not for the faint. It'S not for the weak. It'S on the front unit is a lot. It was an all-day process between you, tubing and researching getting the products together. Reading reviews plucking bleaching knots all that it was an all-day process. So, if you want, you know great results. You'Re gon na have to put some time and some effort and some research into it. It'S not something that you can do an hour before you go out and it come out bomb diggity. It'S just not gon na happen tip number two, it's okay! If it doesn't come out perfect, this is my first time. This is definitely you know when I first did it. I was like oh, but I was like Britney it's your first time once I do my makeup and everything I was like. Okay - and I still have a few modifications that I want to make, but for my first attempt I think it was really good, so don't be too hard and critical on yourself, because yours doesn't look like that YouTube person. You know it's okay, as long as you're, not looking crazy, just take what you learned and try it again. That'S the beauty of these units. You can take it off and try it again. Just make sure that you're really careful with the lace and that takes me in the tip number three make sure you measure and cut the lay you measure and lay the lace before it, cutting it or plugging it. So I did a lot of plucking to my lace before I installed it and then once I got it install, I realized it was coming down way too far and I had to cut all that off. So I still have to go back now and pluck further back, because that you know if I had to put it on and kind of, pluck with it on or even if I just said on my heading kind of mark to see where I wanted it to Fall, I think my plucking would have been a lot beneficial and I would have got more out of it and it wouldn't have been so stressful for me. So put the unit on and kind of just see you can use like a white, eyeliner pencil or something and just kind of mark and see how? Where do you want the hairline to go? Where do you want to come down and comparison to your eyebrows? Where do you want your sideburns to fall? Things like that that will really help you when it comes time to put the glue on and lay that lace girl? Okay, it's so tip number four! You don't have to use gots to be so. Everybody is using aghast to be glued. The freeze blast all that. If that's what you want to use - and you already have it then great but don't feel like you have to use the same stuff that everybody else is using. I did not use any cuts to be to lay this down. I used some actual some Chi hairspray the helmet head to lady on my stocking cap. It work just as great and then to actually hear the lace. I use the ghost bond glue just based on the reviews and the videos that I watched. I really liked what I heard about the ghost bond. So that's what I use there's plenty other visas out there that you can use make sure you do, use your research and take whatever precautions about your skin that you can, but you don't don't feel like you have to use gots to be. I saw a lot of people talking about that. It was flaky and things like that that could be due to maybe them not doing the alcohol before or you know, using putting it down with your finger whatever. But I chose to just try something, different and use what I already had and I feel like I was somewhat successful, so tip number five. This is a big one. You will see the lace, so I feel like YouTube and social media, and everything is just very misleading that you're gon na cut this lace and it's just gon na melt into your skin and you're. Never gon na see it. Yes, there are things you can do to conceal it and make it appear less noticeable. But inevitably, when someone gets right up on you, you're gon na see the lace, so I'm just gon na zoom in so you guys can see my hairline so right here. The hair is still pretty dense and, like I said, I want to go in and pluck this more, but especially when you get right here, where I plucked a lot little really over plucked here, you can see this place. I mean if someone got really close up on me, they could see the lace. These sides look a little bit better, but you're gon na see the lace up close there. I don't care how many stocking caps you put on and how many it's gon na be there. So it's not gon na just disappear. It'Ll be great. If you did, but it's not, you know. So it's okay. If you still see lace, it's it's! Okay! There'S things! You can do if you like baby hairs. You can do the baby hair thing. If you don't, I actually like more soft baby hair. So I used a little bit of foaming wrap too late, like swoop some hairs and then, when it dry, I just took a call me kind of ruffled it and I like that, look a little bit more, so that's just inevitable. So, moving on to tip number six, when you install your stocking cap, if you do the stocking cap method, make sure that you spray your hairline, where your edges are not on your forehead now. This may seem like rocket science, like you already that you know it's not rocket science Britney, it's easy, but I'm in the mistake of spraying all down here. So all of this got waxed today because I had to pull it all back up just to cut and try to follow my natural hair line. So make sure when you do it that you mark out where your hair line is and how you want it to fall, you may want to default differently. I actually did want to do my hair line actually kind of comes down for here and goes up really far. It comes it's kind of weird. I actually wanted to cover that, because I would I want it like that but um, but make sure that you make sure that you spray your hairline and all of that, because that is where you're gon na actually have to cut that stocking cap. And that will help speed up your process, so you don't need to spray way down here. To do that so tip number seven for beginners. I would recommend starting with pre plucked lace. Okay, so if you start with a full-frontal unit good for you, if you feel confident that you can pluck it, but that's a lot of plucking and I think for someone who may mean be as comfortable with this, this method, it's better to start with something pretty Plug and that's what I did so it's you know, it was already kind of plunked, but I still can go in and plug more without having to pluck an entire hair line and start to finish. That'S a lot if you want to doing you're up for it. Kudos to you, but for beginners, who maybe are not so far up to or a little bit more nervous about it like, I was I'll, say, start with the pre pluck. Ladies, I just can't imagine having done this with a full-frontal I'm having to pluck it. I just I'm not ready for that, I'm not so I will be doing pre-flood lace, uh-huh, okay, tip number. Eight is gon na look different, so doing your front on units. Just like I said it's not any perfect. It'S gon na look different. It'S not gon na! Look like your natural god-given hair. It'S gon na look different because it is not your hair and that is okay, like I said, as long as you don't look crazy. Make sure that you're kind of going easy on yourself, because it's gon na look a little different than what you used to, especially if you're not used to wearing extensions of any type you're really gon na have to get used to it and you're really gon na Have to open the idea of how the look is gon na look. This goes into number nine. I say if you install the following yourself: after don't judge your frontal work until you have put on some makeup um, when I first installed my frontal, I did not have any makeup and I was like. Oh my gosh. I don't feel like this is gon na. Have to come off, I got ta figure out how to get this off uh. Once I got my makeup on, my friend was like. I don't think it's that bad. When I put my makeup on that's when I realized that you know what it's not like, okay, I'd be pretty good for my first time. So don't really judge your work until after you get some makeup on it and then maybe if you want to make adjustments from there and you can but just take your time and throw some lashes on and see, you know and watch the whole look come together. Tip number ten is make sure that you have a little bit of black or dark brown hair dye on hand. If you plan on bleaching your knots, I did bleach my knots, which means under the lace cap, I bleach my knot so that I don't have a bunch of little dots in there on the scalp and it looks a lot more scalp like. However, if you've not used to bleach in eyes, even if you are and which I bleach to knots playing songs, but even with this unit, I made the mistake of leaving the bleach on too long, and I some of the bleach bled through the cap. It actually got on the hair, so with that being said, have a little black or dark brown. Whatever I put jet black on this unit after you know doing all my customizations, but make sure you have a little bit of color in a little toothbrush or a small color brush to go back and correct. Where you have those spots, because you don't want to leave those little holidays, what we used to call it in hair school, you don't want to have those spots um all throughout your unit, because it'll just look ridiculous. You know so with that being said, that was my 10 tips overall, I would give this unit definitely, I would say, a nine out of ten. The only reason I would not give it a ten is because I feel like the lace could have been a little bit darker. It wasn't, you know completely just white or gray, but I think it could have been a little bit darker. That would have been great. Also, I think it's for the density of the hair. It could have been a little bit fuller. You know this is saying 150, I'm not really sure how to measure that, but you know I think it could have been a little bit fuller also, but other than that. I really like the unit. I think for the price. It'S a very good starting unit and it's amazing. You know, I really think I did pretty good job for my first time and, like I said, there's some things that I'm gon na learn and do differently with my next application and my next unit. But I think, if you're wanting to try frontal, this is a good unit to start with, it's like, I said, very affordable and because it's already pre plucked and it's not too much hair on there, it can be a little bit more forgiving for you. So, overall I like this unit. I can't wait to fully wet it and see how it does see how the ghost bun holds up things like that. So if you guys have any questions or comments or if you have advice on things that I can do differently with my lace, please drop them low because I'm you know I'm just being humble out here and I'm trying to get better better at doing this. This is my first time so go easy on me, but if you got that knowledge, I need you to drop it in the comment section below, but thank you guys and good luck on your next fronts.
