Yes, i'm going to take a famous or infamous wig in this case from history and try and recreate it for you folks, on this channel now. Today'S video is very very special because the wig in question is actually well super super infamous i'm remaking by the drag queen's famous ugly wig from her youtube channel. Yes, bob famously wore this wig and they were dogging her out for actually that was kind of cute. Like it just needed a little bit of styling, but other than that, it was actually like not that bad, but we're gon na recreate today, because you guys keep asking me to transform it and she's already made it known that she has to reach 400k before she Sends it to me, oh, she is well, then i'm gon na make my own. Yes, i'm gon na make my own wigs and she's selfishly keeping the wig for herself now. So that's what's gon na happen today. Yes, i've got some wigs here that i you know prepared for this assignment and i'm gon na make a wig that is so fabulous that bob's gon na see this and want it and i'll be like you can't have it unless this video gets 5 000 likes. Yes and you show photographic evidence that you're subscribed to my channel bob she's, never gon na see this anyways. Let'S get started, i'm gon na prep the wig head with the wigs and we'll just get started. Okay, brb. All right, i am back now. I have been studying this wig. Yes, i've been trying to figure out how this wig thinks you know, and i looked a few pictures. I noticed that the bottom seems to be like a yellowish rusty blonde. So that's what we're gon na do today, this wig i actually had created for my website. I was going to sell it, but you know what the factory it up. So it's not going on sale, but we're it's gon na be perfect for this wig, because it's actually very very close to the original wig that she wore. So this is good. This is gon na work out for me and for those of you asking me when's the wizard's gon na open back up again guys moving is a process. Okay, i made the appointment for my business and everything so just be patient. Things will be coming soon. Oh, my god, i sound like such a youtuber right now. Things are gon na be coming so soon you guys just be patient, please! Oh my gosh, i'm only one person, cue, the sad music. Yes, very that now um the original wig didn't have that much teasing in it. But this is my version: okay, so we're going to remix it. Yes, we're recreating it and remixing. At the same time, it's sort of like with nicki minaj re-release beam me up. Scotty. Only she added new music to it to make it even better. Yes, that's what we're doing today, it's the beaming up, scotty of wigs! Oh my goodness, here we are just gon na tease out this top portion there and there just to give it some body. Yes body now, everyone has been asking me about this wig, like i don't think a video goes by where someone's not in my comment, section bringing it up, and it's like guys, you got ta, understand y'all made this wig iconic she's, not gon na give it to Me anymore: okay, it's just not happening. She likes it okay, so i was actually really looking forward to it, though, like i would have totally sent it back to where, like no charge whatsoever, just would have sent it back just for the thrill of doing it, but we're gon na make her own and She'S gon na be dripping with envy as soon as she sees how great this week is going to be. I say that now but wait you know cut to like 15 minutes later it wakes a complete disaster, which i guess is fine, because you know what the source material isn't the best. So it can only go up from here all right, yeah yeah, that's how it works. Okay, now i'm gon na tease the rest of this off camera i'll, be right back, but i'm leaving the bangs unteased for now so yeah brb. All right, i am back. I have all the yellow hair just about teased out this golden blonde mix, hair that i have, i feel like it's pretty close like i feel, like i'm, pretty much nailed it with the colors. Now we just got to make sure we can restyle it now like. I said i left the bangs unteased because i'm trying to tease those at the end but we'll see okay now this part is just about done. I have to cut it and everything, but wait till i'll. Do the double stack. So, let's work on our double stack right now, so let's take her off the head. It'S not going to like be right back, i'm just going to like a quick cut and then we're going to cut there here we are. She is looking great. This is our reddish auburn, like fiery auburn kind of color. I didn't have like a bright red, it looked like it was red or it could be auburn. I couldn't really tell from the photo, so i got as close as i could with a hard front, because i'm gon na basically not even worry about the bangs, i'm gon na do the whole back of it just so. We have a double stack. It'S okay! Here we go now, as i was looking at this wig like there's, also like sections of it that are like crimped, so we're gon na. Do that too. We'Re gon na make it work all right here. We go start teasing this one out now. Yes, now, i have to say, like everyone was giving bob a lot of for this wig, but i actually thought it wasn't so bad and like if you look at the history of bob, the drag queen's wigs one of the things i really liked about her was Like you look at her performances on rupaul's drag race, some of her runways. She would have like that pulled back. You know snatch back wig with like a topper on top. Almost like you know, bianca did something very similar where she had like four wigs. She brought that were all bases, like you know, ponytail pullback and she did toppers for the back of it, and i remember before bob had left, because i remember i followed bob before or back when he was hidden with a whip. Yes, there's a throwback for you, because i actually was thinking about using that as a drag name, because i love that anne margaret movie - oh my god, if you haven't seen that one check that one out anyways, i love that movie and i love that name. So i was googling and even see if someone had it - and i saw this big beautiful drag queen with like thigh high boots on and a whip, and it was about the drag queen before she changed her name. And so i was aware of bob - and i remember like following her on facebook back like that was the first thing they introduced like you could follow somebody if they had too many friends and yeah. You saw the evolution and she suddenly became bob, which honestly was a great great switcheroo, but now, like back to drag race, she had worn a lot of snatchbacks. I remember seeing on like instagram and facebook. She would post updates of like wigs. She was working on and she was learning how to hand tie, and you could see some of the wigs that she eventually appeared on drag race were being hand tied by her, which i thought was so cool. You know, because very few queens were actually doing it at that time like hand tying their own staff like it was one of those things like. I had no idea what the hell that even was that's like a very like you know, small understanding from like videos bobby pins had done, but like that's what you had to do in order to get like that flawless hairline. That goes all the way down, because wigs back then, which isn't that many years ago, yeah wigs, have advanced so much since then, like wigs back then like they did not stop the places you needed to go and you had to like glue down your sideburns with Glue, it goes horrible gladly. You know the wig industry has caught up with the demand and know that you should probably extend the sideburns down. For the most part, a lot of hairlines are pretty decent. Now, there's still a few out there, where you know it looks like a paper plate, but if the wig company is reputable, usually that problem isn't really an issue anymore or in some cases i've seen some wig lines where it goes so far down that it probably Looks like mutton chops, i styled a couple wigs like that where it's just like okay, i appreciate the effort and make it cover my sideburns, but it doesn't have to go all the way down to my jaw all right and this one, i'm just teasing out everything. This is gon na, be the back piece and also it's gon na cover the front too, like i saw a little bit of like the red peeks into the bang of the front of the yellow, so yeah we're gon na try and do our best to double Stack these two together to recreate this as well as do some styling and some crimping apparently crimping is going to happen too. I brought out my crimper all right. Let'S just tease her out all right. I got a good start going. As you all already know. I'M gon na tease the rest and we're gon na. Do our double stack and start styling be right back all right. I am back. I teased out both wigs now it's time to start our double stack now before i do. Let'S take our brush and that section of bangs that i didn't use before we're going to quickly wrap those up, because that'll help disguise the double stack which is part of the problem of the original wig is the double stack wasn't hidden very well at all. It was dying for like a bow or a headband or something which i'm sure she probably wore the wig with before it's just you know, girl, we're filming, youtube, videos and stuff like this podcasts. All that stuff internet drag can get like that sometimes you're. Just like girl. I put the full face of makeup on if something's lacking in one area, i'll i'll, live and i'm sure with bob you know so much good is having her career. It'S just like one. Bad wig isn't gon na be the thing people remember when she's talking. Okay, now, let's do that, let's get our other wig and start joining them now, if memory serves, i believe, there's a bit of the hair in the bang yeah there's some red in the there's. Some red in the bang, okay, so let's pull out some of the bang on this one just so we have something to work with where to cut the bangs too. So that's handy handy, handy handy, oh my god. Oh my god, okay, okay, and just like that. We'Re done okay, kitty, it's gon na need some styling still. So let's do some finessing. Now i got ta connect the wigs. So let's, let's do that? First, all right! Let'S grab our zip ties and start joining them. Now i saw in some of the videos some people have been commenting like my method for zip tying and i've repeated myself a lot of times. I actually have done a very like in-depth. You know version of how to do this, like in one of my other videos, but i'm thinking, maybe i'll, just make a dedicated video to how to zip tightly together, because i keep getting the question a lot so look out for that now. Could you be just you know, like your guide for any time like you need a zip tie or learn how to do it? You know i'll just link that in the channel, what makes you say that, because it looks really ugly, i haven't styled it yet. Oh, my god, you know what i'll stand by what i said that wig isn't ugly okay, i've seen some ugly, wigs, okay, i've seen some bad wigs in my time, girl and i've styled some wigs that weren't exactly winners, especially in some of these videos. A lot. I'M just like i did not you know, didn't take me long to give that wig away. When i moved i'm trying to think what was my favorite wig i've styled so far. If i had to pick one that i've styled that i really really loved, it would probably be those vintage ebay ones where i made like the double stack with the barrel curls. On top it was like a fall. I wore it in a couple videos afterwards. I liked it so much it smelled like mothballs, so it had to go. My hair smells bad enough on its own to need that helping me making my head feel like an attic, i'm enjoying myself way too much all right. Let'S get a few more zip ties in here all right: i'm gon na zip the rest off camera i'll, be right back all right. We are back. I have it all connected now, it's time to start smoothing it out, so we can style it some more okay. So slowly, gathering hair back like that with the smoothing brush, so it all you know, goes all the way back there. We are small sections at a time a little boring, but this is the kind of tedious stuff you have to do with wig styling. Yes, in order for it to look as gorgeous as it possibly can, i feel she's practically already there, like she's, looking really sexy. I love that, like it's, not a bad color combo to do. I love that okay, trying to avoid the bangs as much as possible. Don'T hit them directly like i did because we're going to go to the bangs last smooth, smooth, smooth, smoothing out our hair, probably should put a bobby pin there, because it's starting to raise up a bit a little few bobby pins. Just pin her back son. Make sure she stays flat, it's almost a little tracy turn bladdish like ketchup with mustard tracy turnblad. Well, i can smell that crimper warming up like smell the old burnt hair, on top of it. Okay, now one side's looking pretty good so far like that's pretty pretty cute, let's do the back song because the back's uh, the back, is certainly the back and just smooth that over with the brush as much as i can, without pulling down to teasing too much. Yes, smooth smooth smooth, it does remind me a lot of tracy turnblad like in reverse, like the dark is on top and the blonde is on the bottom, like bob, if you see this, can you comment below like what was the inspiration for this wig? Like did you make it because it seemed a bit like a creation that was put together like i'm, not mad at it like the color combo is actually kind of cute. It is very ketchup and mustard other side of the side of the side, similar to the other one we're just going to slowly work our way in sections, because with joins like this, it can very easily come undone and it looks like crap, because you know you Pull too hard, so i'm trying to go very, very soft and patiently just go section by section, and this is very much like a girl, groupie kind of hairstyle. Like 1960s, a lot of girl groups wore big. You know double stacked, bang wigs like this, because it was easy volume and easy, easy easy maintenance, because you just took the wigs apart comb them out and did it over again, like you think of like the ronnettes or the marvalettes. They always wear hair like this or um. For those of you brits that watch my channel pp arnold. She always wore hairstyles like this in the 60s and 70s. Oh, that's a fun story, pp arnold! She was one of the eye cats and when they went to england, she fell in love with them and they fell in love with her voice. So she's like well screw this. I'M gon na leave this group and go solo and i believe it was mick jagger that convinced her like yeah girl. You need to like leave that group. You could be a star here and she's, like you know what i think i just might and lo and behold she left and she is an icon in rock music in the uk. She has a gorgeous beautiful, beautiful cover of the first cut is the deepest by kat stevens. I think she's, like one of the original people, to like record it and sing it, and her version is iconic with those rolling drums ugh and she looks so cute in those old 60s videos with her little like mini skirt on her long hair. Oh gorgeous girl check her peepee arnold out, one of my favorites. I think she's also the first to do angel of the morning. I could be wrong on that, but she has a cover of it and it is fabulous or her cover of eleanor rigby by the beatles cute stuff. All right now for the bangs, i'm going to be brushing downward like that and be mindful of the sections, and thankfully this wig is a little shorter. I'M actually going to cut the bangs a little shorter too. So that gives me a good guideline of where to go all right, we're going to the bangs last like i said so. Don'T worry about that right now, just doing the top section and like the bottom sections were a little like crimped, like certain sides had crimps in them. So that's what we're gon na do so, let's pick a side, pick a side and do some crimps. Now i'm going to do here, i'm going to take my wet spray and spray it like that and take my crimper start crimping and hairspray. I know what it is like with synthetic hair. It really does work. It'S like a nice little barrier. There crips crimps, i'm gon na make this wig look like stephanie mcmahon. That'S another reason why i love bob so much because i found out she was a big wrestling fan like me, like she's, a big old mark for wrestling and we're watching. Those like rupaul's drag race revisited and she was talking with thorgy about wrestling and thorgy's. Looking like she's describing elephant tusks like what are you talking about she's just about there? Was there more scrims in the wig or is it just that one side? I think this is like random spots. Oh well, we can do that, like someone's, like the honda right here - okay, that's too! Oh, we can do that, but that's fine, i'm fine with random. No that adds personality to a wig. Now the wig is just about done. I'M gon na crimp some random sections and trim the bangs to my head and i'll be right back. Welcome back. This is the final result. Oh my god. I actually kind of love it. It is definitely my interpretation of the infamous bob the drag queen wig. Yes, let me know what you guys. Think of it. Oh my gosh. Now this wig is fabulous, but it is just missing one more thing: the james mansfield magical, wig spray from black phoenix acne lab. Let'S just give this wig a spritz. Now my hair smells just like cream soda available at blackpinkzopilab.com, so yeah i took this wig and i really made it my own, so bob's, ugly wig on twitter. You can delete your handle now. Okay and stop bullying me, god! Anyways grooming could be an absolute drag, but thankfully i have manskate use my code, james m and say 20 off plus free shipping. It'S for your no-no, bits and i'd like to take a moment a very moment where i think everyone is tipping on then now. I am doing i'm using my psychic powers, i'm gon na thank sergio ahead time, because i know he's probably gon na hit me up with a venmo tip any moment now. Also, i made him like send me a secret code with his last venue just to make sure it was him. So i could add him on instagram and thank him thanks, honey all right, but i do have some paper mounties that i forgot to read out in the last video so make sure you get that done right now, okay, hold on a second. I would like to thank catherine and kate. Thank you all so much for that. Now i enjoyed recreating this wig. It'S actually a lot more fun than i thought it was going to be like people were building up like it's going to be a big daunting task for me to take on a wig like this, but honestly, it's actually really cute. It just needs a little bit of styling, which is the case for most wigs. You know if you have a vision and you want to style it just go for it. You know just style a wig and bob i'm serious.
