How To Make A Lace Frontal Wig | Beginner Friendly | Julia Hair

Hey guys and welcome back to another video today, I'm going to be showing you how to customize a frontal and also help to make a frontal wig, I'm going to be using Giulia hair, and I have their Brazilian straight hair. 24, 24, 22 and a 20 inch frontal, so I'm taking my BW tube powder and I'm using a 40 volume developer to bleach the nuts on the frontal. So I'm going to make this consistency really thick and is going to be like toothpaste, I'm just lightly spreading. It on to the frontal making sure not to put a lot of pressure, so it doesn't go through to the hair. So after the nuts are completely covered with the bleach I'm going to, let it sit for about 15 minutes after the 15 minutes. I'M just gon na watch the frontal with my Pantene conditioner and shampoo, and then I went on and I watched the bundles as well. So now it's time for one of the hardest parts of making a wig is plucking the front tools make sure the hairline is natural. As you guys can see, I have got a new mannequin head. I'Ve stepped up from the styrofoam head. So now it's a little bit easier for me to do this, but it's still a lot of work, so I've got differential, secure on the mannequin head and I'm just gon na spray, the hairline with a little water, because it's easier to do this and while the Hair is damp, so I'm going to show you guys the technique that I use. That seems to be the easiest for me and I feel like for beginners. This is going to be especially easy. So what I do is on sections - and I just take a small section from the front and I plug downward, making sure to leave space in between where I plug from it's a little bit easier for you guys to see what I'm doing rather than explain. But I'm gon na try to explain to the best of my ability, so I'm just gon na take a section pluck a little bit and then like skip, maybe a few centimetres and pluck there. I didn't do a lot to this front section because the frontal is pretty nice to begin with. It wasn't super dense, like a Barbie hair line, but as I go through the sections, I will pluck a little bit more and you guys will be able to see a little bit easier. What I'm doing and when you're doing this you're gon na, want to make sure to check often how much you have clutter, because you can't end up licking a lot by doing this technique so make sure you just check often how much you have plucked. I wanted to see if this way would make it easier, but to me it was just a little bit harder to pluck so I just kept doing it the other way. This was just me testing something out and I really didn't like it. I'Ve seen some people do it like this, but this technique did not work for me. So this is how the first thought looks after I'm, completely finished, plucking it and I'm just taking some foam just to see how it looks just to see how far I have gotten with the plucking and, if there's anything extra, I need to do to make it Look good, I forgot to mention that I do go on three sections, the two sides and in the middle - and this makes it a lot easier because you're just working with a smaller area, instead of just trying to go through the whole frontal in one big section. So the technique for the middle part of your frontal is basically the same as doing the sides but you're going to want to make sure that you don't pick as much, because naturally, your hair is thinner on the sides than it is in the middle. But I think I did a little bit of over plucking of the middle, but I know not to do that anymore. So this is how the front two looks completely plucked and I did get a little lazy when I went to the other side because it was really late at night and I was tired, but I knew it really wouldn't matter, because I was gon na wear the Hair straight down - and you really want to see what the sides look like so and now it's time to make it the wig. Finally, and I just use a black dome cap - I've never used anything other than a black dome cap to make my wigs. I just find it super easy and I'm just securing the frontal down to the dumb cat with some t pins and then I'm gon na start sewing. This is what you want your front toe to look like in the back. It does not matter that it's super bunchy in the front. It'S not gon na matter, but you want it to be super taut in the back and just really smooth. That'S what matters is how straight the back ends. It took me a long time to figure this out and I was always wondering why my frontal wings would never be on right and it will always be a mess. But when I learned this, it really changed the game for me. So I used two different methods when sewing down a frontal wig. I used one method for sewing down the frontal and then I use another method for sewing down the bundles. So, for the frontal I just literally go back and forth in and out with the needle and thread, I don't do any special method. I just go back and forth back and forth, or in and out in and out. I just find that it lays a little bit flatter than if I try the blanket method which I use for the bundles. I mean I'm probably wrong and I'm pretty sure, there's professionals who probably used the blanket method and it comes out super flat. But for me it just lays a little bit flatter and it's a little bit easier for me to just do the in-and-out method or the frontal, and that's probably not what it's called, but that's what I call it so so this is what it should look like When you're done and as you can see is super flat, and that is what you want. So it's the next day like it literally took me two and a half days to complete this week. But it's the next day now and I'm going to start showing you guys how I put the tracks down, so I do cut my tracks. I know some people do the flip over method or something like that. They do where they double the tracks or whatever. I don't do any of that. I just go straight across and I cut the tracks, so I measure how long I need it and then I T pin on one side down and I begin to sew by putting the needle through the thread and connecting to the dumb cap and then I begin To sew it down, so I use the blanket method is where you take the thread, pull it to the side and then you go over the thread. So look a little closer and you can see exactly what I'm doing, because I'm having a hard time explaining how to do it. But as you can see, I just take it. Pull it to the side, go through the track and then I go through the dome cap and I pull the needle over or in front of the thread and I pull it through and it stays pretty secure for me, and I know that there's you know other People who do it differently, but I'm not professional, and this is what works best for me. So when I get to the end, I just take the tee pin out and then I do a little knot on the end of the track. So I literally just start the tracks until I get to the top and I'm finished, but one thing I want to mention that I do which I'm not sure if it makes a big difference or not, but I'll alternate where I start sewing. So if I started the track, the first time on the right, I will start sewing down the track of the next time on the left. So, for example, here I started sewing the track down on the left and when I get to the next track, when I'm finished with this one, I will start sewing on the right and I will end on the left. So we're going to get to a point where you basically have a circle in your wig and when you get to that point, you're going to start wanting to stack your tracks straight you're, not going to want to curve them anymore. Because if you started to do the tracks up and down at some point, you're gon na have to start it to curve your tracks a little bit. But when you get to where there's like a perfect circle in the way, you're going to stack your tracks straight up and down like totally straight so by the time you reach the front tool again, are you gon na have to do is put down one straight Piece - and it will be completely done so this is how the way - let's complete it, and I only ended up using two full bundles in less than half of the dirt bundle, but it's still very big. It'S basically, you use three bundles because you have the frontal and now I'm just cutting out the black part where the frontal is and then I'm going to string the hair. So this is the leg straightened and almost completed, I'm going to show you guys in a part, two video, how I apply the league and how I add baby hairs to my lace frontals. I also want to mention how I thought it was really nice how they added the widow's peak to the front tool. I know that some people have to like completely add a widow's peak when they have frontals, so I really thought it was nice that they included it. I just wanted to mention that, but that is it for this video definitely stay tuned for part two.
