*Detailed* Trendy Side Part Wig Install Step By Step Ft. Megalook Hair

What'S up welcome back to my channel if you're new, hey girl, I'm Alicia, and today's video is on this hair as y'all can see? If you want to see how I did this side swoop action with the you know, the side part action with the side swoop. Here this is the perfect fall color. I feel I want to see the install make sure to keep on watching this video. I always start off with my wig cap. One I cut behind the ear is where I cut my hole at I just find like it gives me less runs and I am known for cutting my wig cap way too short around my ear tab. So this kind of gives me like some extra space. So I like to cut behind the ears after I cut behind the ears, is when I get into the actual land down of the wig. So you know we can have a nice little base nice little Foundation. Today, I'm going back to Old, Faithful, that's my boho Liquid Gold. I'M actually going to be using this to lay my wig cap down and do the actual install I haven't used this in a while. I'Ve been going away from, like all my main products. Y'All know like I was like a Die, Hard bull hold fan and I started going all off and doing some other stuff with some different products and yeah I'm coming back, so I'm just using this boho Liquid Gold to line my hairline. I love this because you can see straight through it. It'S very, very clear. It'S a clear, gel type of um product you can see through and you can see your hair, so I just go ahead and align my actual hairline. If it's dark - and it looks like my edges - are right there, then I just keep going until I'm in front of that area. You don't want it to be exactly on the hairline, because when you go to cut your ball cap, then your edges are going to be exposed, so make sure you give yourself like a little bit of space not too far down, because then your wig will be Too low, but you know a little bit in front of your edges, so you can cut it and it's still not have your hair showing foreign. I decided to go in with the even spray lace tint in the shade dark brown. I normally don't use this. I normally just use makeup, but I had bought it. So I'm just like why not let me see if it's going to be the same shade, and this actually was my perfect shade. I should have sprayed more and y'all will see that later in the video, but for the most part it came out pretty good. So I like this, of course, don't like switch it for not bleaching or not still bleaching or not. This is just to tint your lace to make sure it's going to match your skin. So after I've done that, I'm going in and cutting the elastic band out, this wig did come with an elastic band on the inside. I don't like the elastic band when I'm trying to install my wigs like this. If you can't remove it, because I just feel like it's in the way, this is a full 13x4 frontal. There is like no extra, like you know how the size of the frontal can be small yeah like no. This frontal is Big, it has full space and I feel like that. Little elastic band gets in the way of me, cutting my ear tabs out foreign with my Foundation shade, and I'm going to be. You know putting it on my wig cap to give it that bald. Look. I use my exact skin complexion and a flat makeup brush and just go ahead, and I like to like swipe it in not just Pat it in. You see me patting at first but like at some point, I'm going to switch up doing both because I feel like it Blends it out a little bit better. I also wanted to mention that I did not bleach the knots on this wig, so um. I just find that when you have colored wigs, it really does nothing for them. And you don't know if you have a 613 wig that they sent you in colored or if you have a black wig, that they sent you and they already colored it with permanent dye that right there could totally mess your wig up. If you have a 613 wig that they sent you and you go to bleach it, it will like rip your hair out. I learned from experience so trust me when I say if you got a colored wig and you don't know what they did to it. Just go ahead and just pluck it and put it on so that's what I did for this one I plugged hairline and put it on the hairs came out. Super super easy which was like nice, but also a con, because I don't know why they came out. So easy like it, it made it shed a lot, so I'm not sure where that came from, if that's normal or what I've done a lot of wigs and some wigs are like that. Some wigs aren't and yeah. It could be a pro in a con. So just you know take that with a grain of salt, but after I've done all that, I'm going in and cutting my excess off the wig cap. And this is what I meant by saying - go exactly in front of your hairline not directly on it. Because, as I'm cutting this excess wig cap off y'all, see like none of my edges are exposed, it's only the wig cap that is left. I went in and added more boho liquid gold to the edges of the wig cap, just to lay it down. I would not recommend this because, unless you're moving in sections - because I put it on my whole - like wig, ball cap hairline and it started to roll back and then I had to go back and fix it. So either work in small sections or just use glue for that one little part: okay, let's get the wig on. So I have been battling between cutting my lace before and after for forever, and if you install wigs all the time, you probably go through the same thing, but I'm gon na go ahead and cut my lace first. But what I'm going to do here is I'm cutting out the ear tabs and then I'm going to plan out where the lace needs to be cut at so best thing. For me, when it comes to cutting out ear, tabs is to section out, like part it and then cut them out, because then you're not cutting a whole bunch of extra hairs. It'S a clean cut and you don't need your waist shedding more than it already. Does foreign at this point? This is when I'm planning out my wig, seeing where I need to cut pulling it down over my hairline, just to make sure that everything is getting to where it needs to be that I don't need to cut any extra into the wig, and then I cut In a zigzag motion, the front of that lace off I cut as close to the plucked hairline as possible, and I don't cut any further just in case like I need that extra lace or if I want to personally customize it once I actually get it on There I like to have the extra lace to you know: hold the wig down for the most part foreign in sections when it comes to this Liquid Gold, because it just does not have the same strength as an actual glue. So you can't just lay the whole wig down and think it's going to stay, because it's not so. I worked on my side sections first because they lift the fastest one on both sides use the hair, dryer or warm. Until I felt like it was laid down enough, then I switch over to cool to kind of like lock it in, and I did this for all three sections, both sides and in the middle. I didn't try to mess with the lace too much because I didn't want it to like flake or become white, so yeah, that's what I did. After doing all that I go in with my even lace Bond spray. The red can because the black one just gets too sticky for me, so going with that red can spread a hairline and put that melt band on. I leave it on the entire time that I'm styling the hair, because I want that good good melt going in with my hot comb just to get the hairline out of the way make sure everything is laid down good and, as you can see on my hot Comb like there's hair stuck in the comb because, like I said the hair was shedding like crazy, but once I was done with the style, it didn't really shed too much more, but it I don't know if I got the hairs out is what I was trying To say, like you know, you have to brush all that extra hair out and it was just coming out as I was styling it. So for the most part, this is just going to be the styling portion, I'm going in with the hot comb and then flat. Ironing everything down straight, I did not go in like super little sections, because I did not want to be sitting here all day went ahead and did what I could in that short amount of time, and I will come in and explain how I actually do the Side part leave out inspired, look foreign, thank you taking off that elastic band and yes, it is a little bit of a crust up underneath of the air. So I'm going to take some alcohol and just clean off the extra boho Liquid Gold. That'S left that can turn white. If you have some extra and then I'm going in with my even and the red can spray spray it on my finger and put it on my hairline. I learned this from Tick Tock University y'all. Now this right here is like such a great little tip, because then you're not putting a whole bunch of extra product on there that you don't need. I just sprayed that, on my finger, put it on the hairline, where I felt like I needed it at and that's it when it comes to getting that leave out. Inspired, look You're Gon na Want To Part in like a half use shape. You know like you're, doing a curved Style part, so once you part that you're going to part your hair all the way like it's going to the front, so you're gon na part on like an angle into your bang piece. I know it looks weird, but I promise you it makes the most sense, because when you part your real hair, you have natural edges that are just sitting there. So that's pretty much what you're trying to mimic here after partying into that hairline I go in with my hot comb, just to make sure everything is nice and flat and where those leave out style edges are going to be is really what I want to focus On making sure everything was sitting flat, so it's going to swoop properly for light fluffy edges I've been liking to use the Hairspray the same. Even to do my edges and I go in when it's wet, I spray it on my Edge brush on the comb side. Go in when that hairspray is still wet and kind of like mold it and this stuff dries fast. So, as I'm molding, I just continue to swoop in the direction that I want it to go. So it's drying as I'm molding the hair all together, which is what I really love about using Hairspray the same Foundation that I put on my wig cap is what I'm using for the lace just to get rid of like that little bit of Ash, that little Bit of white - that's still left invisible, I'm using that makeup color to pretty much blend everything in together, and I think it was coming out like so good better than I expected colored hair is so easy to melt. To me. I know some people feel like it's hard, but it's really not as hard as people make it seem, because if you pluck good enough, it's going to lay regardless. If you have, you know, super melted knots or not it's going to lay as long as you pluck it good foreign all right. So this is the final look on this hair y'all. I hope you enjoyed this video again this week is from Mega look here. I flat ironed it, but I had it up in a clip. So it's like a little bit wavy there. This is body wave, hair came body, wave texture, but I flat ironed it'll be a little swoop. Little edges. I like the way the quality is nice. It feels good, but y'all, know I'm Gon na Keep My wigs in that long, so my opinions go based off of like literally that day I feel like it's smooth. It was a lot of shedding going on when I was plucking styling brushing. Everything was a lot of shedding, let's keep it real, but the lace is really good. This is what it looks like up, underneath that you know that little swoop, so I do love the color. This is perfect for fall. I know we're going into winter, but it's perfect for the cold months sis, so I'm already following my Tick Tock go follow my Tick Tock.
