Hi guys.
Today we're going to go through blending wigs
to make them look natural, blending them into
your hairline.
The last video I did I showed you how I put
my wigs on, but I didn't go through the blending
of the part, I just pretty much showed you
how I applied them and I slapped that one
on, I didn't really do anything to the part.
Today I'm going to dig deeper in to the parting.
The steps I'm going to show you guys today,
you can use on any type of unit, lace front,
non lace front (full wig), silk-based which
is the one I am using today.
This is Trinity by Freetress.
This unit is special because it has this 4X4
silk base closure, but even though this Trinity
has ... It's very easy to blend, I still do
the same steps every single time.
I just want to make sure I make that clear.
By no means is this the only way, the right
way, this is just a way I do it.
Right, so the first thing we need to do is
grab either a concealer or a powder.
I always use a powder or a concealer that
is the same complexion as myself.
I do not go lighter or darker, I use the same
thing.
I usually go for a pressed powder, I haven't
tried with loose powder, and I've also used
creamy concealers as well.
Today, I'm going to be using FitMe powder.
I've used MAC, I've used this bad boy which
is like the black radiance.
I suggest something cheap because it's going
to be going on your hair, on your wig, so
you don't need anything too fancy-smansy,
just something that's going to add some color
to the part.
The next thing you're going to need is an
angle brush like this and it should be stiff;
the stiffer the better.
If you're into makeup, this is the kind of
brush you would use to do a cat liner or even
your eyebrows.
It just needs to be angled and stiff.
You're going to go ahead and take the brush,
dip it into the powder, and carefully just
add the powder to the part.
Now you can do this step with the wig on or
prior to putting it on, either will work.
Another thing I always do is I make sure I
get powder all the way ... I take it all the
way to the front of the lace so every inch
of the part has some of that powder on it.
Once you do that, you're going to go ahead
and put the unit on.
Make sure if you're using a wig band that
it is covering the wig band and that it's
landing on your forehead.
At this point I make sure that I have powder
at the very tip of the lace and that that
powder also extends on to my forehead so it
blends.
That's the point, you want it to blend with
your forehead.
Once I do that it's golden.
A lot of times when you get a wig, the parting
is going to be a mess and you're going to
have to go in and manipulate it.
No worries; you can use a tweezers, you can
use a razor blade, you can also do the pull
method which you can search in YouTube for.
There's tons and tons of tutorials.
Basically you want to widen the part so it
looks more natural and you could do that by
eye, or you can do the same steps we just
did by using some powder, putting it over
the hair, the way you want the part to look,
and then go through and pluck any hair that
has powder on it.
Do an outline first with the powder and then
remove hair that's on ... Remove any hair
that is no longer ... I'll just say be careful
regardless of how you decide to remove hair
because you can ruin your lace and possibly
ruin the unit, so definitely, definitely take your time.
Another thing I do with blending is I always
have my baby hairs out, regardless of whether
or not I'm using them or not, to me it just
helps blend, so after I'm done I always go
along my hairline and just do this.
Anything that hangs out just gets layed down and
I think that does help as well.
That's pretty much it to blending guys I hope this
was helpful.
I know I kinda stumbled a lot though this one but
overall if you have any questions you can
always ask me down below and I'll get back
to you.
It just takes practice and once you get it
down, it'll become easier and easier.
All you need is powder, that's the key.
Adding some press powder to the part, or concealer,
and making sure it blends with your forehead.
That is the secret to blending your part.
Be sure to check out the other videos in this series.
I'm going to be doing tons of tutorials on
EVERYTHING WIGS!
I'll link that down below in the description
box and in the info card
and I hope you guys enjoyed.
