All right you guys so about a year ago I uploaded a plucking tutorial and news very detailed and very beginner friendly. However, I have changed my techniques and they're gon na be beneficial for you and me, so don't really use those techniques anymore. We'Re going to do this, one, which I'm going to show you guys today. So first things. First, you want to go ahead and bleach your knots. Yes, I think that bleaching, your knots is beneficial because it's going to appear more natural and it's also going to be easier for you to pluck the hair out of the frontal. This is a HD lace, front, wig 13 by 6 parting space and it's pre pluck essentially it's pre cooked. However, I like to go in and pluck more so first things, first, wherever your customer or yourself. If you're doing this for yourself and right now, I'm just showing you what you know, the thirteen by six parting space consists of and looks like. If you guys, don't really know what that means. But wherever you want your part to be, you want to go ahead and part that out. This is very, very important because once you start to pluck you don't want to mistakenly plug in the wrong areas and then once you start to part your hair for the style, it's all patchy and blotchy and pieces are missing. You really don't want to do that. So, wherever your part is going to be make sure you part that area out, first and right here in these areas, these areas, where I have my fingers anything between my fingers - you don't want to go in that area, because that is where your part is essentially Going to be - and you want to stay away from those zones because, like I said once you start to pluck, you may pull up too much in one area and then you're gon na have a patchy part and that's not cute so stay away from those areas. Wherever your part is going to be, you want to make sure you keep a water bottle near you, because this process will require the hair to be wet. There are some people who don't like to pluck their wigs or wear their wigs plug, and that's absolutely fine because, like I said these wigs do come pre put already. However, I, like my hairline super super, you know close to my own natural hairline, so I always go in and pluck more so in reference to my old plucking tutorial, I advise you guys to take out the pre plucked areas and to start right here in the Back, however, I don't do that anymore, because I realized that when I teach people like that, it tends to make the hairline look patchy. So we're not going to do that. We'Re not going to take any of the hair out we're just going to pluck behind the hairline. In this part of my hand, my pinky fingers and the edge of my hand. I don't know what to call that area, but anyway, I used that part to smooth the hair backwards, as I'm plucking as you can see, follow along with me. You just want to go ahead and just plug behind the hairline, not on the hairline, but behind the hairline, and the purpose of plucking is to get rid of the density that you can see. While the hair is all the way combed back like this, if you could comb the hair back and see behind the pre plug areas where the hair gets dense, you want to go in and Bend those areas out. I also chose not to speed this video up. Simply because you guys tend to think that you have to plug fast or you have to plug real real hard and real real super fast, and that's really not the case. Plucking is a very time-consuming process, and this is a quick tip to my stylist stylist that are watching this video. I always ask that my clients drop their wig off two to three days in advance, because plucking is a very time-consuming process. Bleaching. The knots is a very time-consuming process and you don't want to go ahead and spend 4 hours, 4 5 6 hours on one person, because you have to bleach the not wait for that process to start braid them down. You know it's just too much. That goes into the hairstyle, so I recommend that you guys get the wigs or the frontals or the closures dropped off to you, 2 to 3 days before their appointment, not only is plucking the time-consuming process. It'S a pretty repetitive process. It'S going to be the same exact thing all the way around the whole piece of the lace, but I didn't speed this up and I didn't really cut many pieces out because I want you guys to see the transition and actually see what I'm doing. So. You see right here in this area, I'm going to stop plucking right there, because the density has thinned out and I will not be plucking any more in this area. I'M going to move over to right here where you can see where it's natural in the front, but it gets very dense right in this area. You'Re going to go ahead and Bend that out another quick little tip. You want to make sure you're holding your tweezers correctly, and you also want to make sure you invest in the property tzer's the tweezers. Don'T have to be a million dollars. You can get them very cheap at your local beauty. Supply store. You just want to make sure you hold them the right way and you want to hold them where the slant is. You don't want to hold it to where the pointy part is going down into the lace, because number one you're gon na have holes and number two you're, really not gon na be pushing out much at all, so you're gon na make sure you hold the tweezers At the slant and then just glide onto it, so yes right here, I just went ahead and sped it up a little bit because, like I said, plucking is very repetitive, but I want you guys to sills still see the transition where it starts to get there. Now and appear more natural now that we've got one side down we're gon na move on to the other side, and you can definitely tell the difference like I said some people like to wear their wigs as they come pre plucked. They don't like to go in into the extra work or any of that, but you can definitely see the difference from this side which is not plucked yet versus the other side which we went ahead and customize. I also want to let you guys know that plucking is very. You know up to you, it's your preference. It depends on what you like. It depends on what your client likes. It also depends on how your hairline looks and how your client hairline looks is easier done on the canvas head on the mannequin head or, if you want to pluck it on your client, you can. However, it does hurt a little bit, so I really wouldn't recommend that you do that, but some people do that. However, I wouldn't recommend it like, I said, because it hurts also plucking can be done. You know partially on the canvas head and then once you do put it on your client, you can go in it's a bit, but just try to be careful to not hurt them. Well that about sums this video up - and I hope this video helps you guys. I hope this sharpens up your plucking skills, because I know a lot of people struggle with plucking and they don't know if they pluck too much. They don't know what they pluck to less. It'S honestly, your preference and from this plucking tutorial. This is about how much hair came out, and that's it see you guys next time,
Comments
CANDICE WARE: This came right on time. I’ve messed up two frontals and got discourage not to do them anymore, but this just lit some fire under my ass lol. Thanks for this video!!!!!!♥️
Olivia Brittnay: This frontal is plucked exactlyyyyy like my hairline! No one in my city that I consulted with could do it.. & I’ve never seen anyone say not to pluck where the part is! That’s a master tip!
nai: I don’t know if you read your comments, but WOWWW Ericka, you are the best! I’ve learned how to pluck, install, curl, cut, and do so much more with my wigs by watching you as opposed to watching anyone else! Plucking was always a big issue for me and I can safely say I plucked my wig to perfection cus I followed along with you! You teach in such a great manner, you go slow enough to where we understand, but are also doing whatever you’re showing in a timely manner. So many people ask me who does my hair, and I proudly say “me!” And thats safely cus it looks soooo bomb due to your teachings. Best virtual teacher ever! You’ll go far. I wish you nothing but success in your future!
Jahlia She boujiee: Your really a great teacher. You explain things very well
Diamond P: yaaasss very detailed I love this. I’m installing my own wig for the first time & I’m kinda scared lol. Your videos gave me so much confidence. I’ll probably tag you on Twitter when I’m done IF I did right Edit: even the plucking!! I honestly thought plucking fast was how you do it lol
