How I Use Wigs As A Protective Style

Hello, everyone and thank you so much for watching today's video we all about how I've used waves as a protective style. So what you see me doing here is on freshly washed hair, I'm just parting, my hair, where I want to place it. The closure of my wig and I'm gon na start for where I like to braid my hair when it's wet, because it's just really easy for me to get my hair down really really flat and I'm just moisturize my hair. You know you guys can go ahead and moisturize your hair. However, you don't really do I'm using a couple of products from Shea Moisture. It'S jamaican black, castor oil line and what you see is going here now is parting. My hair, you know from where it's apart and the closure is going to be going down. I just find that braiding it this way. You know it just gets it the most blessed and I'm braiding my hair and one important thing that I always keep in mind when I'm doing this is that I do want it to be flat and bringing it while it's wet does help, because my hair is Natural, but it's also really important that I'm not braiding too tight, and that is because you know it helps me, protect my hair and the less tension you expose your hair to you know the better it'll be for your hair. You know in hair growth and hair health, and I also don't make the part super duper big. That kind of makes them a little bit on the smaller side, but they're, not so small. But it's adding a lot attention to my hair when you move someone normal to the next thing, I'm doing right here you just kind of move the leg of the previous cornrow into the leg of the next corn room and that's when you're doing the entire time. Braiding my hair, my braiding pattern is nothing special, but you see I'm just connecting the braids. When I got to the other side, it was not. As what does I wanted to be so I just took a spray bottle and wet it. I will be using a removable wig and the beautiful thing about that is you'd. Be able to take the wig off before you go to sleep at night and you'll be able to put leave-in conditioner in your hair whenever you just have more access to your hair. To be able to take care of it, and ever since I started doing my hair this way, my hair is Bill doing so much better than it was because I'm putting like zero to no tension on my hair at all, because my cornrows, as you can see, Are a little bit on the loser side and because I'm will be wearing a removal wig, it's tons, less tension on my hair. Then it would have been had I done a summit, so that's really beneficial wearing the wig and braiding your hair, not so tight. Almost no tension on your hair at all - and here is my wig - I just have it here on a mannequin hat and I'm brushing it out. This is hair from styled by a stop maintenance calm. This is the Peruvian street and it's just the closure, with an elastic band, I'll hold it down and for whit, combs in each corner for security, and that's my wigs and I'm really excited to make a video about how I construct my wigs literally the next chance. I get to make a wig, I'm gon na make a video about how I make the wigs and I got some edge control and I'm laying my edges just a little bit around where the closure is going to be - and you know just around my edges in General, that's what my edges look like and then I'm gon na go ahead and pull the wake up and line it up. You know kind of where I want it to sit, and after I have it laying down where I want it to sit. I'M going to get my wig combs on the sides and around the back and put it on top of the elastic, pin and slide it back. So that's how the wig is said. I'M using my Celia titanium Flatiron on 420 degrees and some biosilk to straighten my hair. It'S putting out the bow silk in my hair and you know detangling and running my fingers through it, taking the titanium flat iron and straightening it and literally that's what I'm doing for the entire wig. I'M making sure I'm not taking sections that are too big, but also nice sections that are super tiny and I'm just washing and washing I'm just flat ironing these sections. What I'm doing right now is super important. Every time I do anyone's here, my hair, my clients, hair and there's a closure or frontal involve. I make sure that I take little sections around where the park is, and I flatten it by taking the flat iron to the roof and then down to the end, and I just kind of part it you know, take like a section around the part like what You see me doing here, taking the flat iron and right there next to the root and straightening it doing. This will make sure that the hair lays down flat, I'm combing it out, and this is also something I always do. I take edge control. My favorite one to use is silk elements, edge control and I put it on my hand, kind of like hair grease, rub it in and then I just spread it over.
