Let'S Make A Wig (An Alternative To The Dome Cap Method!)

Hi guys welcome to my channel it's makeup: I'm mooch aka a Luce and they're coming at you guys today, because I wanted to show you how I've made blade its laid this way. So I did go ahead. I made this wig myself. There'S a combination of hair from the closure is from intense beauty. Then I have the longest length. This right here is a 22 inch from her mood hair and then I also had some hair from a company I used to buy from which is called a bell. A hair - and you see so I wanted to come at you guys and kind of show you how I went ahead and made the way I got the wig covered to my exact skin tone, as you can see, because for us chocolate, girls out there, you know It is not keeping this thing keeps building, and I'm coming at you guys today, because I wanted to show you guys how I made and slayed my own wig. So this right here is a 5 5 5 close, your wig. It goes from about here to here. So if you want to know how I made the wig what's up a wig shop, I use how isolating how I got it to match my skin tone, how I got the part to look natural. If you want to know all that good stuff and all that jazz, then definitely stay tuned, so I wanted to go ahead and go in today. I'M going to be so. I wanted to go ahead and just kind of show. You guys my process to making a new wait. I'M sure there are a lot of videos out there a lot of you watch, but this is just kind of how I do it. I have a very small head, so I feel like for those that have a pretty small head or for those who maybe have a very large head and you're kind of looking for something other than just this going back method. This would definitely be the route to go, especially if you are looking for something with adjustable bands or adjustable straps, because my head is so small. I always need something that I can just because literally my head is so small that when I do a wave cap - and I do the dome cap method, I have to find a beauty, supply, store or purchase online supplies. The junior caps junior cash, but that's it. That'S how small my head is so, needless to say, I'm not a fan of that method. So the first thing that we're gon na I'm gon na go through with you guys is: I did purchase some hair from a company called her move hair. I definitely like this hair company so far I had a little issue with the thing I had bought a closure or frontal, or something like that, and I had a little issue reached out to the seller. She gave me an immediate refund no hassle about it. I didn't have to prove myself for anything and I was able to just ship the hair back to her, which was really awesome, but I did keep the bundle of her hair. I have it right here, so I did keep the bundle of hair that I did purchase with that closure or front or whatever, which was a 20 22 inch raw curly hair. So that's this is, as you can see like. Some of these curls are already popping out now. The reason why I did that is because, for some reason I feel like I can't identify which one of my areas is 22 inches and I honestly I'm wondering if any of them are but - and I know I've purchased the 22 inch. But who knows maybe over time you know, split ends, etc, things, but maybe it's gotten shorter. So I went ahead and I got this one. It mimics honestly my favorite hair company, which actually they no longer sell hair. There was a little bit of a customer service issue and it didn't get resolved, and after that, honestly, I don't know what happened to the company, but that doesn't end the case that they they're the best. I remember how did this honestly it looking like it's going to take their spots, which I'm very happy about the hair company I used to purchase for him. It'S called Oh Bell: a hair bomb bomb hair and I honestly think her mood is, is right up there with them, so I'm actually really excited to put this hair. In again, sorry, I dropped the tag. As I said, it's a 22 inch rot. Indian curly hope. That'S in you, so we're gon na go ahead and get right into it. Okay, I realized that I said I was gon na talk about something I know I did say. I would talk about something that would be different from the don't act message and honestly that movie is right here. So, of course, you know it's still quarantine time. Things are opening up opening back up, but I don't know if y'all seen their numbers they're still rising. So here I am still inside, so I want that being said even before this, I when I first started wearing frontals, because I knew the dome cap. I tried the dome cap method like four times and for a frontal. It just does not work for me so because of that I've took to Amazon, and I was able to locate some wig caps that weren't, like the Sally Beauty kind of blades, have to actually have space for where your frontal could go. So I can always show that you guys want to see me do a frontal wig after you, you know, watch this video. Let me like definitely there way too much hair, so at least eight ways much I have like three frontals and hair. Then I think so. Anyways so because of that, I frontal the high-maintenance, and so I decided that I wanted to switch to five. But if I close me to just see how I like them, so the same thing I said to a Madonna, I look to find a closure when we made specifically or a closure weight cap, make specifically points for itself and leads me to this. So these are the hidden gems of Amazon. I don't know how many people know about this and I hope I can purchase all the ones I need before, but this is amazing again, I'm just switching to five by five closure. So I'll just be getting started on this, but I love how? First of all? If you do the deletion on your own, it's already there for you. They already like such a scent and everything you just have to do it, whatever it I'll end up cutting this net out, but I love having this died and in the back it has the adjustment key and adjustable straps, which are right. Here. I got a wig cap inside small adjustable strap and you literally just like a wig of prima click, happy new purchase. You just slide the strap into one of the slots and then there you go and for me that's crucial because, like I said, I have a very small head. So this always makes me happy when I see this option when I'm purchasing and I'm very I'm very specific. So I make sure to link below where I got this cap and then that way, if you guys want to go ahead and take a look, you'll have that option other than that. I'M gon na try and stop copying because I talked a lot so that we can go ahead and get into this video. Ok, so I thank you that you guys actually might want to see this come on, so I went ahead and already put it as tight as it comes. Oh because at all 3 it is stretchy which is nice, it's like actually just for sure. Oh no, I'm gon na tell stretch it is it's really stretchy, so even online, my temporary hold brains, basically the braids that I use, what I'm just like, not getting it in my hair. So this was it on now it does have the like ear, flaps or whatever right here. Of course, you can always cut that out. If you wanted to cut it out, I'm actually thinking to leave it. So I'll stop my stitching right along the line and then I'm gon na do the flip over method and stitch underneath for where the wire is. That way. If I decide later that, I don't actually want the ear tags, then I haven't put myself in a position where I have to redo the whole way. So I'm going to stop right where the line is and then do a flip over method and have the hair and eat that way when the wind blows. Hopefully it looks more like it's coming from my scalp, because obviously you can't get anything before to come me from your scouts unless it's a frontal, but this is the cap and then this is the back of it. As you can see, I have the bands because the cap is still just a little too loose again. That'S just because I have a small head. So, as you can see, there's the boating right here, I'm going to do the a couple of like short tracks. On top just right here and the reason for that is just that, if I end up not liking the ear tags, I can remove the tracks that I put on the ear tag and remove the ear tabs without having to completely redo the way. And normally I don't like to cut the wax of my weave and I actually really like cringe when it's my eyes to do that, because I'm just like yeah thanks so much for this hair. But I understand it's part of the process to make sure that the hair is flat, etc. But because of that, I have no intention on cutting my wife's. If I can't have all avoided and I'm gon na actually use the cut watch that I already have and use those pieces for the ear times since there are cut and they're already short so hopefully now I'm done, we could just move into the movies. This way, all right, I got from intense beauty. I will be posting a review about my experience with them to be, the hair is nice, but you could always go check out that review for my opinion, so I wanted to show you guys something that I noticed with the wig cap. I noticed that I had miss in their flat and I wanted to see if I could fit a band in there, which I could so. I guess that's another modification that they made short comfort depending on how you want to wear it. So this is it on the other side not tucked in, and this is the little flap I found there. We go okay and now the band is tucked there. So when I pull it has like an anchor, I guess you put, I guess how specific always like an anger now. Another thing that I noticed is because there is elastic bands here granted this one on the bottom. Isn'T the one that's going to adjust the way? This one, I guess, is one of those tops, not one. That'S gon na just leave this one on the bottom is the one that's gon na adjust the weight, so I don't think I'm gon na so on the band, especially because, as I get higher, the hair is just gon na fall over it and technically, since this Is the ear tab, the banded behind my ear, so I'm not actually going to sew on the bandages to make sure I can maintain that elasticity. I'M just going to stop all my tracks right at the edge of the band. So that's just something to keep in mind as I'm going through in case you wanted to do the same. I'M gon na go ahead and I'm going to go in with the this is the hair by her move, the hair that I was saying at this point in time. It'S definitely like. Probably my favorite hair. This is a brand new package. Underneath, I said see me do the unboxing, but this is brand brand spanking new hair, as you can see, so I'm just unraveling it from the bundles and then I'm gon na go ahead and install it. And if I have any thoughts month away I'll be sure to clue you guys in before I got started, I just want to quickly show you guys how they hair on Ravel and I'll. Show you guys. You know what the wig looks like once I wash it and that way all the curls form together but yeah to say. I'M excited this statement I prevent from having to cut through a track just because the line ended and then, of course, as I'm going through I'll stick my Senior Seminar, some kind of mess - that's a nice old underneath here, but it's okay. I don't mean to say I know I want to flip it like this. I actually go. I always make sure my third is on top. When I'm doing the count to prevent to threaten tangling, I usually tend to hold the thread until it gets close to where it needs to be, but I think I might try it on to see that's the movie I wan na make hi guys. So I just wanted to come in real, quick and kind of show how its laid on my head now bear in mind. My braids and I really have four six braids underneath so like this is not even a flat to my head. I just wanted to see where the clips are lined up, which it looks like it's right on a spot for where I want it to be, and then I was looking at the ear tabs because, as I had said in the previous being, I was trying to See if I wanted to see, as you can see like members are basic underneath, but I wanted to see if I wanted to keep the ear tabs or cut them off, and at this moment I think I'm going to keep them actually, because when I pull the Wig on and again I'm gon na cut this place. That'S there in amazement. Well, when I put the weight on the ear, I feel like the ear tabs help for when the hair blows, so I'm actually gon na lay tracks going like this on it. Going with that vertical on it, instead of cords on tool and then that way when the wind blows, it goes all that direction and then again I'm going to show a track underneath so that that blows with it - and I think once I do that, then I Could wash it I can, you know, show you guys how it all looks. Obviously I still need to part it. I don't usually bleach the NOx if I can avoid it. So I'm gon na see if I can move it, but I'll definitely show you guys what it looks like once I get those tracks on here. Okay, so I just wanted to go ahead and show you guys what the wig looks like. I don't know if you can see, but I have an air drying back there, and so I'm gon na go in and I'm going to put it on. I haven't tried the wig on myself since I finished it, so we're going to be kind of seeing together. If my method, how I did the ear tabs, if that worked, so let's see what happens so I went ahead and I tinted the lace now what I use to tip lace. I know there are different methods. There'S a teabag method, there's the method of putting the door the door color dye there we go. That'S the word: the door die with some water. I actually found this at my local beauty supply store and I that they also have this online on Amazon. So, for me, it works this one is the tinted lace and it says skintone dark brown right there. So that's the one that I had used to achieve this color, so I just keep spritzing in spurts until I get the whole lace color. The way that I want it and then from there I blow-dry it a little bit just to make sure it dries and locks in and then I spray it with some got to be boots the free spray and then I again go over with blow-dryer to make Sure it locks it in. I believe this click does wash out over time, but again you're literally it's not like you have to read. I the whole thing. You'Re literally just cheat, cheat cheat cheat, it's so easy and it's such a game-changer. So let this Bibbit on so we can go ahead and sew and, as you can see, I have my weight band on. It did slide it back just a little bit and I just grab the combs tuck it and then I apply pressure just slide it all. The way through sorry and I make sure my ears inside of the ear tabs, the ear terms - I don't know if I can remember if I mentioned this when I was do making the way, but the ear types do have like a wire in it. So I just bend the wire towards my face that way, it's nice and secured there. So what I'm noticing off top, which is kind of annoying, is the closure. They did like this flip over double stitching thing along the edge, and that is there's like I don't think, there's any way to like glue that down and have it look natural. So me, personally, I'm just gon na cut the corners off because it's not like I'm gon na be wearing my hair half up half down. I just don't want it to like be seen like that. I don't want to go so let the corners off okay. So now I pinned it back. I know some people use the got to be like free spray thing as their the gel that they put on their head. I'M just gon na go ahead and I'm going to use something real. It'S not. I have so much gorilla. Snot and I ran out of my got to be freeze Joe either I ran out of it or I lost it cuz. Obviously, quite frankly, I don't know where it is so. I'Ve just been using this class so actually girl. This knife, I know exactly where it is, and so I'm just gon na go ahead and show long that it's my first time so five five five guys for any of you guys who have not used to realist not before it is literally like it's not like. It'S it's gooey and stringy. So just beware like I have made fun, I don't have like a full face beat, but I have a makeup on and so I'm making sure to pull my hand away from my face because it does so. I definitely encourage with this lace going section by section, because by far this is my best section and I think it's because I'm taking my time little by little now for me, my sideburns come out far, so I already knew that there was gon na be a Chance it was gon na take a couple of layers to get this to lay out my sideburns baby ears, whatever that is so I'm realizing, I know, did a lot of talking, I'm realizing that this lake is very porous and the reason why I say that is Because, normally, when I apply base, I can use the back of the comb to push down, but I notice, when I did that over here it pushed all the products through the lace onto the hair. So that's why? I don't know if you guys been seeing I've been using the teeth of the comb so that I'm more precise about pushing right along the edge so that the edge isn't lifting like how this one is. So if you do end up getting a closure from intense Beauty, I would just be mindful method of how the the lace is very porous. Oh forgot, since I did just wash this hair, I need to put oil in it. Normally, I would just spritz my hair with my mixture: it's usually uncle Funky's, this one uncle funky scruffy magic and then it's a mixture also my hydrator repair. I think I've told you guys about this in one of my other videos and the lush linked cannabis leave-in. So I mix a little bit of uncle Funky's a little bit of these two and a fan or a spray bottle with some water and some argan oil. This is by far my favorite argan oil, both for my natural hair and from my extensions. It'S it honestly is the only one that I know that actually penetrates my extensions and my natural hair, and I think it's that I sure yeah and they chose the penetrating one, and I just put some on my hands and just prayer hands it through. Focusing on the ends, obviously we don't most weddings because that's how their tricks and get shorter and then cuz. I don't know about you guys, but in my experience a lot of type of closures tend to be a little dry, especially if the company's back so just to prevent any excess dryness. I usually make my way up to Oh, as you guys can tell the clothes you remember how this thing enclosure was a little bit Brown than the rest of the hair. I think you guys saw most when it was dry, but that's what I was talking about, but I don't think I minded I think I kind of like having a brown on top and then black the rest of the way. But if I do start to mind a, I was just dying myself, I'm gon na let this sit for a couple more minutes and then I'll come back to do the baby hairs exercise. I did want to come in here and say I forgot to mention that at this point to help the lace blend with my skin, I did use the hooter Beauty palette. I used the color black truffle and cocoa mixed together and I put that along my hairline. Now, as you're about to see when I go into my part, I actually end up using a different powder, which is slightly lighter, which is the Laura Mercier translucent powder and medium deep
