How To Dye Wigs Black Color Without Ruin The Lace & Knots | Water Color Method

Hey guys, what's up welcome back to my channel in today's video I'm going to be trying out the water color hair dye method on some natural color off black. You guys know the color that bundles and units, like naturally come in, I'm doing the water color method on hair. That is that color. Usually, when I get my wigs and my bundles, I do like to use 88 jet black box dye, but I always end up ruining my lace in some way, shape or form. So today I want to try the water color method on black hair, to make it even darker and be a jet black blue black that I personally like to wear for my skintone. So today's video is sponsored by our African. They sent me over this gorgeous gorgeous unit. You guys, I am so obsessed with it. I already promised it to my mom, but now I'm kind of have regrets, because it just looks so amazing. So as far as the specs on this unit, it is a 360 lace wig, it has 180 percent density and it is a Brazilian still in a straight texture. The color that it came in was natural black, but, like I said I did do the water color method on it to diet a little bit darker, and even though this was already dark hair, it still took the color and you guys are going to get to See that part of the tutorial in just a second, so the hair line did come a pria plucked and there was also big here around the perimeter of the wig and then not something is unit did come a bleached as well. When I pulled out the bow shot, I was just like, so she loves it Wow, like literally you guys, the wig was ready to wear it straight out the box. But of course I had the extra and Diet darker and I was a little worried that doing the water color method would ruin the bleached knots, because, obviously, if the knots are bleached, the hair at the very like route like right at the lace is going to Be a little lighter as well just from the knots being bleached, and I already knew that doing the water color meant. That was to basically do a reversal of the knots being bleached. I was super worried about that, but you guys are going to see. I use a certain technique to make sure that the not sustain bleach so that this looked like it was growing out of my scalp. This unit also came with a removable adjustable elastic band. So normally I don't use elastic bands because I'm a little lazy and I don't like taking the time to sew them on, but the way that, while I've constructed this unit, they have two clips on either side that you can just hook the elastic band onto and Take it off just as easily so like I said, out of all the wigs that I've ever received or got on my channel. This wig is top, and it's not now, if you guys, are ready to see how the water color, hair dye method works on a black hair, then just keep watching so the hair dye that I'm using today is the adorn 121 jet black, and I only used One bottle to dye this unit, so this is what the unit looks like from, while African it is so so gorgeous you guys. But if you look at it closely, you can see that it is that off color and there are also a lot of gray strands in it. So we want to cover all that up now, looking at the lace and the bleach knots just so beautiful, but I was worried that the water color method would undo the knots mean bleach because it would recolor those knots. So I will be showing you guys today how to protect all of that. This is what the inside of the unit looks like. It is beautifully constructed and it also has these additional two attachments to attach the elastic band that I was telling you guys about, and it's just going to make your unit fit super snug. So first I'm grabbing the dot to be glue in the yellow bottle and I'm just squirting a generous amount of this into a mixing bowl. And then, I'm also going to add in the guts of the glue, a styling gel and the black bottle, and mixing these two together and putting them on the lace is going to create the perfect seal to protect our bleached knives. This is just what it looks like and then I'm taking a brush and just makes them get out. Once I get mixed, I just basically start applying this product on the lace. You guys can concentrate it wherever at the front of your unit is and where your part is going to be, or you can just do it all over the lace that way your knots can remain bleach and won't be affected by the hair dye. Once I get a nice coat over all the lace, I take my blow dryer and I start blow drying it. You do want to blow dry this for about 20 to 30 minutes. I did mine for about 10 and it wasn't completely dry. So when I put it in the water, it did start to come off a little bit so make sure it is completely dry to ensure that you don't ruin your lace or your bleach knots. Now I'm just grabbing the hair dye and adding it into some warm water and taking my spoon and mixing it all up. So now I'm taking my unit and I'm starting to ins first and slowly, setting it into the water. I wanted to put the lace part of the front part of the wig in last. With this watercolor method, I am using warm water and I knew that once that blue hit, the seal would start to dissolve slowly. So I wanted to make sure that the lace was the last part that I put into the warm water. So, as you guys can see, I was definitely checking on that lace to make sure that the blue wasn't coming off and it pretty much always stayed in place after letting the unit sit in the water. For about ten minutes, I did go ahead and pull it out and I rinsed it in cold water just to get any remaining dye off of the hair and to also remove that excess blue that I used to seal the lace once that was done. I just laid it out and started brushing out any tangles or knots that came from being sloshed around in the water, and I also wanted to take a look at the hair and I'm not sure if you guys can tell on camera. But the hair is significantly darker and all of those gray and light colored strands that were in the unit are non-existent now, so the water color method, using dark dye on dark hair was a success and I didn't ruin my lace as you guys can see. It is still bleached in light and transparent, looking mimicking scalp, so I was so so happy about that. So here I took off my gloves to show you guys how the lace looks up against my skin, how transparent and bleached it looks and how perfect it is. So I forgot to film a formal outro for you guys, but here are a few clips of how the unit looks installed so beautiful.
