Almost Ruined My Wig!! How To Fix Over Bleached & Over Plucked Lace Ft Asteria Water Wave

Hello, everyone what's good, what's poppin welcome! Welcome back to my channel, it's your girl! Caroline! That'S me! Today'S video is a little bit different. It'S not gon na, be one of those. Oh, my god install your lace in one two, three steps because no baby. This was not easy. Okay, this install was quite stressful. I literally had a fight this week and i made a lot of mistakes. I could have been avoided and at first i wasn't gon na post this video because like gang like there's no tutorial here, but i realize i can show you guys what to do when you mess up. So that's what we're going to be doing. I'M going to give you guys some tips on how to fix your lace. Whenever you make some common mistakes, i feel, like probably all of us, do, let's get right into the tutorial. So, let's start from the beginning, here's me all happy ready to show y'all. This wig thing is going to be a very easy peasy straight forward, install but nah it never really is. Is it so i'm just showing you guys the wig that i received. It was a hd lace, frontal from hysteria. It was a 26 inches water wave, 20 density. It was a great wig like nothing was wrong with the wig. It was me, okay, guys i was having issues. This was not my day, but i'm just showing you guys how it looked off and it was so beautiful and perfect like so. This is where my first blender was normally my tutorials. When i show you guys how to mix your bleach, i always say you mix it in slowly your developer, because the texture can get ready too fast. So it's also all always great to mix and slow, and i just kind of pour it in they're all confident thinking you know, i'm a professional or whatever and i poured it and i did do my little spatula check where i flip my brush over to see. If it's runny and it wasn't runny, but i could tell by the texture in hindsight that it was a little bit on the thinner side, but i thought it was gon na be just fine, so you know here's me applying my bleach, not gon na lie. I also was applying the bleach very um carelessly, like i usually like to take periodic checks and flip the wig over to make sure i'm not you know having the bleach bleed in, but i was out here just doing whatever, just not following my own tips. You know like this is why the tips are important after letting the hair, bleach and process. Literally, i kid you guys, like it hasn't been 10 minutes, and you see how the hair was already bleeding everywhere. The bleach was all starting to like run into the hair. Like i said, was going to bleach the whole hair, so i didn't let them the knots lift to the shade that i like so for those of you who want to start shouting in the comments. The knots are too orange. Look i have bigger fish to fry. My wig is about to turn my whole wig is going to orange, so i went ahead and stopped the bleaching process and washed the wig out. As you can see, the knots are way more than bleached very over bleached, but that's fine, no biggie i've over bleached. My wigs, it happens to the best of us, like you know, mistakes happen. So whenever i over bleach my knots, all i do is i like to get um this little cheat box die. This one is from um look burnishes revlon. I believe the box, i'm showing you says blonde, because this is the i couldn't find the original box for the black one. But i used the soft black and i don't like to mix the whole solution colony a little bit because just for the knots i'll also always like to just pour a little bit into um a little cup container and just mix that up and follow the instructions To help me make sure, when i'm applying the dye that i don't touch the lace, because getting black dye out of lace is so annoying, there's a hack for that as well. But i try to make sure i'm as careful as possible. So i use a little toothbrush like the one i'm showing you guys right here. This helps me be very precise. I kind of just like lightly tap my brush into there and take my time as i go through the hair and just you know, gently try to comb it on. Of course, i can't get it exactly on the knots because now i'm going to start risking, you know actually bleaching my and not bleaching my lace but dyeing my lace black. So i try to get it as close as possible. It'S not perfect, but honestly, at the end of the day, sometimes over bleach knots, if it's not too extreme like earlier kind of look good, it kind of helps, get the illusion of like a scalp. So here's how the hair was looking after i followed the instructions. I left the dye on for about 10 minutes and just washed it out and you can see a lot better and i was okay, great no biggie. The show goes on so here's me, you know plucking or whatever and again i wasn't following my tips. I was out here doing whatever i was just kind of in a rush. I guess i don't know what's going through my head during this install, i guess nothing because now, if you keep watching it, you realize i start to over plug. Like girl, i was going ham and the hairline was already decently pre-plucked but, like i said we all make mistakes, it happens to the best of us, so long story short. I ended up over plucking this hair and it's really annoying too because since the knots were a little bit over bleached having an over bleached and an over plucked hairline, oh girl, it's not going to work! So here's how the wig was looking and yikes. That is she's, not cute, but it's okay, that's fine! We does this there's a half of everything, so this is me the next day trying to fix the problem. I went ahead whenever i like over bleep, but not whenever i over pluck. I just go ahead and cut off the bald spots because you know lucky for me, this hair did have an ample amount of lace and, yes, you can cut where you have bald spots, sure you're going to have like less parting space, because you're cutting the lace, But girl do a half up half down they're like there's different styles or just do a middle part. If you cut way too much lace like you could finesse the good middle part, so here i'm just showing you guys. I just went ahead and just cut off all the bald spots and i try to make sure i'm cutting in a jagged line, and i don't i always my next tip, for you guys is don't just like cut it off like so after i've cut off what I can see was clearly bald spots. I try to cut the wig in an even shape. I went ahead and put the wig back onto my head to kind of see where else i need to cut, because you should have just cut it all blindly. You should probably stop and put on your head to make sure you're cutting it right. So i went ahead and started installing the wig as normal, and i just as i'm installing and gluing it down my got to be now. I got to be my ebb and spray. I just start to cut off any excess lace or like basically, if i see any bald spot or place it does like a piece of lace, doesn't have actually hair attached to it. I just want to cut that off to help me pull down the lace, because you know now the lace is a bit shifted. I pull out the baby hairs or just the front line of hair, and i kind of use this to help me pull down my lace as an anchor to hold it down, because you know we can't have the wig just gently lifting on our head, but honestly Doing these steps you know, fixing the overbleach knots and cutting off the over pluckness boom bam. The wig she's, looking like nothing ever happened to her. The install must go on. I wonder if i died foreign now. The thing with you know: cutting off the hairline you're. Basically, starting yourself off with a fresh new hairline, so i had to go in and pluck out the back of the hair because it was much thicker, because the much thinner pluck parts were cut off. I was a little bit hesitant on plucking over here, because after already over plucking child that was triggered like i was just trying to pluck lightly. I didn't want to do too much, so i'm trying to pluck a little bit. It'S not looking very wiggy on my head and i do like to also make sure your last. My elastic band is on i'm doing this step just to help prevent lifting, while i'm plucking the hair out, but once i had plucked myself a new hairline, i just went ahead and did my baby hairs as normal and i'm just using some mousse, which i'll link Down below, i wonder if my god will kiss him to on the track after carving out my baby hairs, i put my elastic band back on and i just started to proceed with my styling as normal. I'M using mousse as well to help me define these waves and i just kind of brush everything out and really, as you can see, the hair is looking brand new because it really was brand new like this is just the second day of me getting the hair, But you know but yeah and that's kind of i that's kind of what i do whenever i make a mistake or you know mess up on my wigs because trust me look girl. I over pluck over bleach all the time, not all the time, but quite often, and it's no big deal there's literally, i promise you guys, there's a hack for everything you just got ta, try and learn your lesson next time i reached my peak. So here we are with the finished product: okay, the wig is looking very laid and slayed. I decided to do a flip over part because since the lace was a bit shorter, i cut off the front. If you guys want to know but anyways we stopped talking and rambling. I hope you found this useful and i hope you guys enjoyed this video i'll see another one make sure you like comment and subscribe, and peace out girl scouts, good, bye,
