Melted *Detailed* Wig Install Start To Finish | Bleaching , Plucking | Step By Step For Beginners

Every second every minute, then i swear that she can get i'm it about hey y'all, welcome to another video and by the title, y'all know. What'S up, this will be a detailed wig install. So you guys will see how i customize this wig step by step, bleaching. Plucking and melting the lace - and you all can tell that this is a 13x4 and it is 22 inches, and this video is not sponsored. So it's basically a practice wig. Your girl is just showing out how she do what she do. I'M gon na start by preparing to bleach the knots i like to put a plastic bag over my wig head. That way, i not only don't mess it up, but also, i feel like it, helps the hair process, and then i like to make sure all the hair is pulled back away from the hairline. That way, none of the bleach gets on the actual hair, and these are t-pins. I actually seen one of my favorite hair girlies say to use ball pins instead, and that is actually true because i encountered these actually slipping into the lace, so definitely don't use these. Definitely get you some ball pins, because that's a lot easier unless you want to poke holes in your lace but yeah today, i'm using my bw2 bleaching powder, along with my salon, pro 30 volume developer, but normally i just make it a little bit at a time And trying to maintain a thick consistency, because wasting product is not cute and some of these hairs add up pretty quick well similar to toothpaste. You want to keep it thick, but still spreadable, so it doesn't seep into the lace, but it still bleaches the knots i'm leaving this in real time. That way, you guys can get a really good idea of how lightly i'm placing the bleach onto the lace. You don't want to press it in at all. You kind of just want to let the bleach place itself that way. If you haven't bleached enough, you can still go back in and fix it versus having to fix blonde roots and that's a whole different story. You kind of just want to take your time. Normally i use got to be sprayed on my lace beforehand, but honestly this was a practice wig. So i was just you know, perfecting my craft a little bit because obviously a girl has been into hair videos and normally i'll go over the hair, with some type of protective layer to help it process better and today i'm using a shower cap. So i am going to leave that on for about 30 minutes, so with any volume developer, i feel like you can check on it in 10. Minute increments, i feel like 20 minutes, is probably a good place to start, but after that i would definitely do about 10 minute increments, especially if you're a beginner, because that will help you not over process the hair, and i am rinsing this out with cold water. I personally use cold water because i know that it helps chemicals stop processing. So now i'm going in with my equate beauty, blonde and silver toning shampoo, and this is a dupe for the shimmer light shampoo, but this one is only like four dollars at walmart. This just helps tone the knots so they're not orange, but they're more of a natural skin tone. So i'm smoothing that all over the lace for about two to three minutes and then i'm gon na wash it out y'all. I found like seven bottles of tresemme under my sink, so that's what i'm washing this wig with empathy is bloody in my opinion, so now i'm blow drying the hair out. You could let it air dry. Sometimes i actually sit it on my fan that way it air dries faster, but it literally just depends on how much time you have and don't forget, to go into the roots and dry them, because sometimes they still can be damp and also drying. The inside of the cap, now i'm using my hot comb on the hottest setting, and this is just to help push all the hair back and make it smooth that way. When i go in to pluck the hairline, which is just part of the customization process, to make the wig look more natural - and i do just have this white pillow case on top of my wig head - that way - i can see all of the individual hairs and I don't over pluck so the way i currently like to pluck my wigs, i like to go in right at that dense line or sort of where the baby hair section would be, and even if the wig is not pre-plugged, i still recommend pulling out a small Section first that way, if you over pluck accidentally, you still have more hair to work with, but also so you can have a very gradient hairline and again. This is in real time. That way, you guys can see how fast i'm actually plucking, but you literally want to take your time, pay attention to the detail and, as you can see, i'm going up and down the hairline, i'm not staying in one spot too long, because you can easily get Bald spots, i've done that before too so, and you definitely want to be combing the hair. Through that way, you can rake out all the hair that has been plugged, so you don't get any extra shedding and the hair doesn't get tangled and y'all. Obviously, the full clip is not in here, but your girl got a little happy with the plucking. Not gon na hold you, but practice does make perfect. Obviously, the more you do. It you'll get a better idea of how it should look and when to stop plugging. Now i'm going to pull back the part that i just did and then i'm going to do the second section. So it's just going to be two sections. A nice tip would be to not pluck directly at the part like where you parted the hair at, but to plug right behind the hairline. That way, you also don't end up plucking too much, but you're plucking several hairs at a time i'm just going to go in and do the same thing to small sections across the hairline until i'm finished and it's truly about preference. So you can pluck as much or as little as you like, but obviously you don't want to over. So next is the exciting part. My favorite part is installing the wig today, i'm using my black radiance soft focus, finishing powder. If you guys have seen my previous two wig videos, you know, i love the even lace, tint and light warm brown, but i wasn't sure how i was feeling about this wig. So i don't want to waste my good spray, so i just use a nice powder. So after i get the wig fitted to my head, i like to go in and hot comb i supposedly flat iron i like to hot comb the top down to get it smooth. That way, it's easier for me to maneuver during the install i use just a little bit of my shiz bomb wax stick, which you guys will see in a minute here. You can probably see a little bit better that my knots are a little bit over bleached and slightly over plucked. So it's just a little bit, but i personally don't mind for this unit because i was just practicing. You can definitely use something like got to be free spray to protect your lace. I know some people like to use vaseline. If you do happen to make this mistake, you can also use like a root, touch-up spray or a mascara, or even a black eyeshadow when in doubt section it out. I also like to cut my lace into three sections and then i can go in and work with each one versus trying to install the wig all at once, because if you're a beginner, it's easy to do it steps at a time that way you don't get Overwhelmed and you don't mess up so a very important step to help melt. Your lace is to clean your forehead with rubbing alcohol. This is 91, but you definitely don't need one this strong, but this just helps remove any oil or lotion or makeup off of your forehead. That way, your lace can stick to your adhesive, so i'm using the even wonder, lace, bond, adhesive spray in the red can tried and true. This is a really good product. If you're a beginner, because you can control it easier, it doesn't take long to dry and it just works. So using my blow dryer on the cool setting i like to go in with a nice, even layer, and then i let it dry completely, and then i go in with the second layer and i let that get tacky that way it still sticks but you're able To control the placement, because i feel like once the adhesive starts sliding everywhere you have to start over and that's that's too much just like to gently place it, and then i go in and press it through with my comb. That way, i'm not only adhering the lace, but it's also smoothing it out. So once i've laid the entire lace, i like to wrap my elastic band over the lace to help press it in. I do leave this on about 10 to 15 minutes. You can also use like a scarf or an edge wrap, but you can definitely find these on amazon or at the beauty supply store, making. My she is going to help smooth the hair, so i'm taking that all over the hairline and if i part of my hair, it's going to go on the part too. So this is going to work with my hot comb. To give me a very flat and seamless hairline and a part if i did decide to part my hair when i go in with my hot comb, i like to sort of drape the hairline, so i like for it to look smooth and sleek in the front And sort of follow, however, i have my hair styled, so i don't like to just comb the hair straight down or straight back, but i like to sort of like blend it and if you care about your wigs being super flat and looking natural, then this is The way to do it, i probably did this process about three times just because i wanted to get super flat so going into flat ironing the hair, i'm just taking my heat protectant. This is just the pantene pro-v heat primer, of course, to protect the hair, but also to help your wigs last longer y'all. I was so excited when i took this elastic band. I was like. Do you see? Do you see that hairline like at first it wasn't giving that much? But now this lady is kind of giving. I i really liked it. I love how it turned out. You know i over plugged just a little bit, but i think it still turned out really good sorry. This is just a vivitar flat iron that i found at burlington a while back, but it works. It has one heat setting and it works. So i didn't have to put much heat to this hair at all. You can see how much of a difference it made just that quick, so definitely go over your units with a flat iron. It it just gave it body, it gave it life and it looks good, so i'm just going in and defining my part. This is a preference thing. If you don't care about having a clean part, you don't have to do this, but also some people like to add concealer to it to just bring it to life, which is also a good trick. If you don't like to use the ball cap method, because i personally didn't - i just have a regular wig cap on, but yeah, so to get that lace off, i like to go in with just a regular eyebrow razor and get as close to the hairline as Possible and you sort of want to have a jagged edge that way you don't have a line of demarcation if the lace was cut straight across. So something i did forget to do was cut my ear tabs off before i glued it down girl. But it's okay, because i'm gon na go back in about the lace again, so i'm just gon na go ahead and cut those off, which is basically just the flap of lace and hair. That is hanging over your ears, going in with another layer of the even lace tint i just redid the elastic band method and that melted my lace completely. I'M taking my razor comb. I did go in with some slight layers just to give it some body, because i felt like it was fuller at the top than the bottom. So i wanted to make it look even and kind of give it some type of shape and your girl is in no way a professional, but i was basically just trying to get the hair to frame my face, so i did go in and sort of like Bump the ends that way it gave it body and it gave it shape because, instead of just the hair being straight and choppy, it kind of flows together and here's how the other side looks finished, i loved how it turned out. I did not dye this hair at all. This is the natural color of this hair, so i was so shocked at how great it looked without me dying in jet black and it's definitely giving a fresh trim with layers and a silk press. A lot of people thought this was my natural hair when i posted on instagram so yeah, i i feel like i did this.
