Very Detailed Lace Frontal Wig Tutorial —It Was Too Small But We Finessed! | Beginner Friendly

Hi welcome back because hopefully, you're subscribed, but today I'm gon na be showing you how to do a frontal, wig install i'm walking you through all the steps building all the t's, showing you all the products i use so stay tuned. I'M gon na start off by braiding the hair straight back, but with the twist there's going to be one braid going from ear to ear. So from the front, it's gon na look like all straight backs, but there's an anchor braid in the back that the clip in the wig will be able to hook into now that we're finished with the foundation we're going to clean the hairline we're gon na. Do this with 70 or ninety-one percent alcohol? I did this backwards. I was supposed to moisturize first before cleaning the hairline, but it's okay, because i can just clean the hairline again after applying the moisture. We love our two, though here so i'm applying a protective shield on the hairline, it's by robert diamond and then i'm combing, all the stray hairs backward. This is where the fun begins. I'M going to apply a wig cap that is close to my quiet complexion and, of course, I'm going to stitch it down to secure it. We need the cap to stay in place and we need those tabs by the ears to be super secure. So I'm gon na cut a hole in the cap and then pull the clients air through. So the cap can rest flesh against their skin. When you see this yellow cane, you already know. What'S up, you know the vibes? Okay, we're going to spray. Some got to be glue on the hairline, where we sprayed the protective shield just to make it melt into her skin a little more and give it an extra layer of protection. Next she's going to sit under the dryer for a few minutes. If you don't have a hooded, dryer feel free to use a handheld dryer or a bonnet dryer, it can get a little tricky right here. The cap can kind of do what it wants and roll onto itself, depending on the way that you try to cut it. So you're going to start off in the middle, make a slit in the middle of the cap and then do one on either side. So you should make a total of three slits and remove the cap in sections just to make sure that your client edges are not compromised, I'm being super cautious, but I'm cutting as close to her hairline as possible. I want to cut as much of that cap away as I possibly can without actually cutting her hair. Now that we've got our bald cap, I want to make sure that I match the lace to my clients skin. So I comb all the hair back and I choose the foundation that closely matches her skin tone. I'M just double-checking that it's a good match and it is. We are ready to go. I'M going to lock in that foundation with the gossipy free, slash spray and then I'm going to clean her hairline one last time with 91 % alcohol, I'm so impatient. Alcohol drive super fast. So I don't know what my issue was. I start applying the adhesive in dots and then I go back and smooth it out. This is what I use to smooth the adhesive out. This is the third layer of adhesive. While we're waiting for the glue to dry, clear, we're going to cut the excess leaves off of the frontal, I'm cutting in a zig, zag jagged type of motion, I'm going to gently position the lace over the glue, I'm not going to press in just yet houston. We have a problem. This wig is too small. So how I'm trying to put the lace into the adhesive? The other side starts lifting, so I removed the comb from that anchor braid in the back and I applied it as best I could. I had to reposition the lace and adjust a million times, but somehow someway we made it work, removing the excess lace from around her ear. I'M smoothing the hair back with my hand and I'm cutting away any lace that it's not glued down. I'M going in with 91 % alcohol one more time to clean the hairline and get rid of any excess glue. I'M trying an elastic band around the hairline just to make sure that lace really melts into her skin. This should only take a few minutes. No more than ten, I can honestly say: HD lace makes a huge difference, it's a lot thinner than regular lace, and it is a lot less detectable for the baby hairs. I'M going to separate a very thin section of here. You want to make your baby hairs about an inch short. The setting foam I'm using today is new. This was actually my first time trying it out, and I really like that. It'S supposed to be similar to Nairobi. You need to be really gentle when you're creating your baby hairs, because the setting foam is going to cause the lace to lift. So you want to just kind of be gentle and swoop them into place gently. It may take you a few, tries that's okay, but definitely take your time and don't be too heavy-handed. The cameras stopped recording. But after I finished sculpting the baby hairs. I tied my clients, hair line down and sat her into the dryer. The camera stopped recording again, but here's the end result.
