Hi guys want to get right into it. I have on a spandex dome cap, but this is clearly optional. The wig that will be transforming today is the dominican curly from outre. It'S one of my favorite half wigs, I'm just putting the wig on so that I can see what the hairline is looking like and it is complete trash. So we are going to change that up using my usual Swiss lades. This is in the color natural skin tone. It doesn't have like a dark or a light color. I know a lot of wax that in the last video we're just showing you guys the grid that it comes with, it basically tells you the different amounts of blades to cut it's like a little ruler. I, however, just cut straight across the width of it and then cut that part in your hat for the front and the back here you see me pinning the leaves to the cab just like and see how big ear-to-ear actually would be. I'M also gon na do that for the back, so that I can make this until kind of like a 360 with it. Now I put the neck back on the cap just to keep the curls out of the way. It is a lot of hair and I didn't want to have to deal with it, I'm going to flip the wig inside out and sew down that lace along the perimeter. So here you see me just sewing the lace on to the very edge of the wig that right there is the comb that is inserted in the front, and this will just allow you to make your way into a lace. Frontal. Hey you see that that lace is all nice and snug and there is no gaps and there is very little buckling. You want to make sure you sew it so that there isn't any like folds or anything like that. Next you're gon na part, the hair in half and you're gon na take some of the wefts from the back of the wig and that's what we'll be using to have your loose strands in order to make your lace frontal. So it's a little hard to explain, but if you guys watch, i'm just snipping the hair and I'm removing the wefts now for the actual lace-making part, I'm gon na try to do this as slow as possible. For you guys, the tool I'm using is a ventilating needle. I will have the link where I got this below. I am using the 3/4 needle which I believe it's like the biggest hook that comes with it. It should come with a couple of different needle sizes. You don't want to use the biggest one that comes with it. It'Ll just be easier to hook the hair through now using the needle, take 2 or 3 strands of hair, pull it through one loop and then you're going to go back and you're actually gon na twist. The hair around the needle. If you guys can see that before you pull it through, this will help you grip the hair so that it doesn't slip. So I'm gon na show you guys that again and you're going to go into the net, pull the hair through go back over to the two strands of hair and twist, the needle around kind of like you would spaghetti on a fork and pull it through the Loop, six hours later so once you've been doing this for just about every should start seeing the hairline coming into form. You can make the lace part as big as you want it, or just do like a couple of strands if you're being lazy - and you just want to try to hide that blunt hairline. So this is basically with mine. So it's like what it's all done and, as you can see, using curly hair and making it into individual strands will make the hair super bushy and a little unruly. So what we're gon na do is take some rods and just recur that part. So I'm just gon na use the hot water method. What that means is I'm going to put the hair on the rod and then dip the hair into hot water, making sure not to get the hot water on the rest of the hair because it might straighten out the curls once that's done, you just kind of Want to go ahead and cut the lace off and apply your lace. Wig, like you, would any other lace wig and then make any of the baby hairs that you have one two and once that's all finished, and you can just kind of hide the lace with your foundation as I'm doing right now, then you're just about done and That is how you change your halfway into a place front away. Thank you guys so much for watching alright guys. So this is pretty much it for the hair. It only took me I would say about six hours to do the entire frontal so yeah. I just glued that little piece in the back, so if I want to put up in a ponytail like a high bun, especially as the hair gets frizzy ER, I know I've probably thrown in a bun or maybe me two buns - I don't know, but I am Really excited about the hairline. The baby hairs were so much easier. This time you guys - and I think it's because I made them thinner and the hair was already curly. So I wanted to like scoop, but yes, the baby hands on this, but tell me it's not poppin y'all going to tell me you it a hater is going to be down there like it's, not poppin anyway. I hated with my last video, but it does not matter it because I am feeling myself and as long as you feel yourself, that is all that matters to do this entire wig. It cost me less than 30 bucks. I believe I'll link everything down below the wick itself. You can sometimes catch over 15. It fluctuates between 15 and 20, depending on which sites you get it from. I got mine from Amazon for about like 18 bucks 18 and some change and the ventilating tool that I use. I also got from Amazon I'll, have that link below. I believe that was like 5 bucks and I didn't buy any extra hair, so the lace that I use was also, I think, like 3 bucks for my local beauty supply store. I also have that link below you can buy that at Amazon. If you guys, don't have you supply store near you and basically that is it. That is how you create a brand new hair line for your half waves, your cheaper half-wits. We all know the heck works, go for a lot less money than 4 weeks and way less money than lace wigs, but there are some really good Catholics out there. The l-train dominican currently is one of my favorites. The curl pattern on this mug is just so pretty now. I will say that me using the rods, did, give the front a different, curl pattern, but I feel, like you can't really tell like I guess, like a tack on his heel like I will be able to tell if I saw him those like that. It'S not the same care about it in the front, but I mean I feel like if I was to do it again and not twist the hair around the way I did. I could probably fake the funk, and I feel like this - will let me fake it until I make it. I keep looking at myself and trying to you guys are trying to look at you, but this is giving me all kinds of 70s like smack. Your mama tight, get down. Jive Turkey vibes right now, and I love it. This is so pretty the curve pattern is so pretty I'm halfway to usually last me about three months: the synthetic kind, if I wear them readily, I tend to change my hair up so much. I don't wear it often. I would just put it back in the bag and it'll last me a long time. The good thing about the dominican curly one is as it gets older. It kind of looks better, like you'll, pluck it out and it'll just get bigger and prettier and more voluminous. And then, once it's passed its date I mean you can even throw it away or you can wash it and recur, lit and jump into some hot water and the curls. Will you know they'll come out like any synthetic hair will. So I recommend that you do get this unit. This is one of my favorite color unions. You can do this with straight hair um. You can do this with a straight half wig. You can do it with a body wave, half wig. This method should work for just about any kind of hair. You can do it with this curly hair. You can do it with any hair, because curly hair, I think, is the most difficult. This was probably I wanted to challenge myself. I guess with this, because this is probably the hardest say. I think I've ever done. Let'S do that. Uh do Cara Lee hair jump off. This is basically the end of the video. You guys leave your comments and questions down below I'll try to get to everybody. I'M still answering comments from my last video. Hopefully you guys really really like this one. I love you guys so much. Thank you for the growth. We are past 3,000 subscribers. That was quick um.

Comments
BrionnaLaRoux: Ok Ladies so a few quick comments because I see Im getting the same questions and concerns: This method will work for any type of hair, the reason i showed it on a cheap synthetic wig is because if it can work on $15 hair, it can work for human hair... Everybody can not afford human hair as well and you will STILL spend 1-2 hours making a wig and another hour or so customizing the frontal or spend a few hundred buck on bundles and another guap on an install. yes you can spend $50 or so on a good synthetic lace wig but if yall can point me in the direction of a synthetic lace wig with a customized hairline please put me D! because obviously yall holding out on me. You can also use this idea to FIX BALDING FRONTALS. The point of the video was to show a universal technique to help you save money; hence the broke bitch series. You cant be broke, judgmental, AND lazy...you gonna have to pick a struggle sis. much love to everyone who watched and appreciated the info.
MrsNkredible: Black women are sooooo resourceful omg this is amazing!
Nikki Thomas: Should not be called " Broke Bih Series".....more like "Smart and Creative Series"! Get it girl!
Tinuke Ajidele: Yes! Let's get these beauty supplies out of business. This is not just slaying, but much deeper.....this is economic power right here! Keep doing you sis!!!
Jasmin Edwards: Everyone is complaining about the time she took to make this tbh I would just get relaxed and comfortable on my day off and just do this plus the price is unbeatable and not to mention it came out beautiful
Taylor!: I see people complaining but do y’all not understand the lesson she just gave!? In all actuality you can do this on a normal homemade wig..because she just taught us HOW TO MAKE A FRONTAL!? I don’t know about y’all but I love saving money and I don’t mind taking my time to do so and learn a lesson that not only saves my coin but gives me the ability to make more if I really wanted to! Thank you girl!
Arson: This just saved my whole cosplay oh my god, I've been looking for MONTHS for a cheap wig with a lace front and couldn't find anything for what i needed. this is gonna save my broke ass oh my god!
SunnyWares: More like frugal! Cause those of us who like saving money don’t mind investing time!!!!
Mintyoreos: Killer job! I wanna try this. The full lace ones are so expensive.
Earthyboheme: I'm totally going to do this with my fav outre half wig Annie. I've spent 6-7 hrs doing my own braids, faux locs etc. Save's lots of money, and people think I've been to a salon. When in actually I haven't been to a salon in about 10 years since high school. Thanks so much for this detailed video. Beautiful transformation. Love and light to you.
NikkiCeeNikkiDo: I love this idea because the price of lace-front synthetic wigs in Canada are ridiculous compared to the US, but with half-wigs here, you can sometimes get them for under $20. So the half-wig + cost of the lace is definitely cheaper! Thank you - i'm going to try this!
Natasha Brooks: Ma'am. This is iconic.
Janesha Michelle: why comment to complain ? go spend your money sis ‼️ while we sit here and take in this great idea ♀️ This is for people that have the time and patience and can't afford to buy a lace wig . I think this idea is great ..
Jamie S.: Great job! And this is why lace fronts, closures, frontals are expensive. They take very long to create.
Beautiful Hoodlum: It’s soo cute and there is nothing more rewarding then making yo own shit oms if you hate on this you slow

Monica Love: Girl. I ain't got the damn patience to make this comment, let along a full damn frontal. But u completely SLAYYYEEDDD this
Brianna Inez: Sooooo creative but I have no patience to ever do this! That hairline though
Sim Sima: When I seen the ventilating needle I knew the dedication was real. Guess I can’t be broke and lazy ♀️
Athena Robinson: Please do me a favor... don’t give a shout out to the haters in the comments. You’re not going be able to please everyone. So please continue to spread love a positively like your doing now. This was an awesome idea. I am a single mom and I am all natural, I am always trying to find ways to save money when it time to change my hair. You definitely challenged yourself and I am super proud of you on your success. Keep it up you are very creative. #immafan

Don'tNEED ANAME: I'm sorry I love my black people,but y'all complain to damn much. First of all I want to think this lady because I brought that same lace with the same needle and haven't used it. I brought it over 2 years ago. Now I know what to do with it thanks to her. I haven't really have patience to make a full lace front wig.I do still have a half wig that I brought that I really didn't like. I appreciate you sharing this information for those of us that don't mind taking the time to learn how to do this.
