HOW TO: LACE FRONT WIGS | Alexa's Wig Series #6 

That's why I bought a wig. I've wanted short curly hair that is dyed for a long time. I bought a wig so I dont damage my real hair.

Where do you buy your wigs?

For real !!!!

I have a buzzed hair style so clips don't work for me. So, is glue necessary? Do I need to wear a cap if I don't have hair?

Well I guess you don't have to worry about damaged hair if you don't have any?

I think she actually works at a wig company, maybe this is just how they do it there, they are more for cosplay than looking natural I think.

Sydney Morenike wait, why are black women the only ones supposed to wear wigs? tf?

Miss Sophia they look really good youre tripping

alie_ amare etiam she never said that so where are you getting that from??tf??? lmao , stop trying to make it into something it's not

Sydney Morenike Thank you!

Jazmine Trinae im planning to buy wig grip because I can't find got2beglued in my country but does it work? Can it hold for days?

Gowther Helbram I've found got2beglued in my local pharmacy but I'm sure you can buy it online as well! I highly reccomend it!

@@muiithehappy6148 it works if your head is not hot and you do not sweat. If you sweat and are active or you have a head that radiates a lot of heat got to be glued will NOT work. But if you are the opposite of that give it a shot!

FYI-- And if you prefer to remove your wig at night, plain hair-spray squirted across your hairline will also work, Tap a damp wash cloth across the area at night when you are ready to remove the wig.

Dude, this is genius.

sad. and then when a non black woman does anything like this video they get back lash because people feel that they can't do this too when it's kinda adding to the stereotype that only black women wear weave and wigs when not all do and that other races do but they can't even show others that they do because of close minded people.

+Tamela Garcia how is anything i wrote closed minded? i am TALKING ABOUT close minded people who see a black face on a product,video, or movie and immediately think its ONLY for black people. i'm saying that maybe them seeing non black woman will show them that anyone can wear weaves and wigs. some people truly think its only for black people.

pinkaddiction13​ well i know those people are close minded but mostly those people are just other people of our own race trying to divide us even more... I was agreeing with you but when people see things that the black people do or wear they assume they cannot wear it or do it at all because of close minded people coming to videos like this and telling non black people that they cant do or wear something because they arent black. Those close minded people just like to divide and create a rift that black people do not want especialky the bkack people in the 1900's but this new generation of close minded black people just come up with anything to keep the stereotypes going like cultural appropriation (some pure bs) it just shows that anything that black people wear or do is no one elses. If anyone does a black created dance or wears weave and box braids they get thrown under the bus and its a shame. Like i saw a video wear a white women who actually owned a beauty shop and was a cosmetologist basically got drugged to floor because she got box braids. She didnt do anything wrong she just like any other woman had no time in morning to do her hair and she wanted a protective style. Even when she took them out and a black woman helped her she still got shunned. Close minded people in the comment just keep on comin and comin and it shouldnt be like that if white, black, hispanic women etc can wear straight hair in a movie and its not seen as only they can Wear it then why cant it be the same for box braids and cornrows alike?

Girl I love the way you worded it I felt like I’d be judged if I wore a wig but I want one so I can keep my naturally short hair then also have long hair so thank you

One Punch I love how true this is

Get off your soap box, no one cares

Who wrote mean stuff? All I see is positivity and love ❤️ in the comments right now.

make sure you aren't putting your real hair in a Ball on top of your head under the cap. I do it more at my base of my neck

Mysterious Ecstasy thanks although I have cut of several inches of my hair since this comment was posted I do plan to grow it out when I gets longer I will definitely try this thank for the suggestion

Or try two French braids will keep all the hair contained

You need to Combe the wig very well and prepare it like a real hair by putting on the dummy. Later well prepared wig you need to wear on your head.

I keep my hair short (bob length). What would you do to put it under a wig cap?

thank you!

I'm assuming it's black culture you're talking about? Feels ironic to me because they wear wigs to look like a certain other ethnicity.. 😒

+Michelle Katzdorn nah fam, they wear wigs to have the hair they want

+Annie Russell I could care less what anyone does lol. I'm just repeating what I've heard and see a lot of online. And I just find some of that stuff ironic because this girl is literally doing exactly what you just said and yet is getting hated on BY black people only it seems.

black people don't wear wigs to look like another ethnicity. we wear them for the same reason she does, quick and easy style and a fast way to change up your hair so, bye felica

Good idea :)!

$40 is a cheap wig... good ones are hundreds

+Skyler You can occasionally find good ones on Ebay for $20. You just have to check reviews to make sure you're not being scammed. But otherwise, better wigs are gonna be higher priced.

From my experience as a cosplayer. The cheaper the wig, the higher the chamce of it being crap. it also depends if you want a wig for cosplay or fashion. Fashion wigs are in general expansive and can be at least $100. Acosplay wig worth $30-40 is probably heat resistant and of course not crap, or shouldn't be.

Jaejoong Kim fuck....

hope you’re doing ok and rocking those wigs!

@@uncleiroh4602 yes I am doing good! Done with chemo and my hair is finally starting to grow, definitely will be rocking wigs for a while tho.

I'm late to this party but I hope you made a good recovery

+Lucy Serenska oh my gosh hehehehe ;u; thank ya!

You should wear wigs but they have to look real

Same :)

same 0.o

Taylor Manning Thank you!ヽ(´▽`)/

Why not invest for a full

Precious Kandi because the price difference is massive and there’s really no need to? That’s like saying that you’re saving up for a car like a sedan and then someone saying why not invest in a Ferrari. Is a Ferrari better than most sedans? Sure probably. Will a sedan do what it needs to do. Yeah absolutely. Most people don’t need full lace wigs when lace front wigs do the job.

And you're super sweet and light-hearted about all these processes!

charlotte clarkyhtdfg Aliexpress has $15-$30 lace fronts. It’s where I buy mine; I lost my hair due to illness and now I just buy natural looking wigs there. They take about 2 weeks to arrive

@@iHeartHPandTwilight I do the same thing, I have alopecia and got my lace fronts (and regular) wigs from aliexpress. You can get some seriously nice quality ones without the insane price tags I find in local stores.

@@Silverity My first wig was $1,200 and they didnt even bother to tell me how to do anything with it. I've learned more from Alexa than anyone. Also I now know I dont have to spend that insane amount of money and still have a decent wig.

+Kawaiiju Cosplay Woooohoo! Yesss, do it! x

People just like the drama I guess ahaha

+Kenzie Vieth I'm so glad it helps!! Cosplay is the best- you're gonna love it! Aaaand cutting and styling is on my list, so don't worry!! x

I bought several inexpensive, but nice wigs recently and even on the cheap, I don't want to cut the hair and jack em up. But I'm probably going to give it a shot. I cut my own curly hair. Live learn and play.

The Boy Who Cried Navy Yes, I need that, too XD

Like oke, I didn't want to comment, because hell, people do what they want to enjoy themselves. But comments like yours .. Just wrong. How you find plastic and cake beautiful ? How is 'she' beautiful ? You just see a act, a doll, a cartoon. This is not 'her'. I'm oke with people experimenting with fun things, but this is what I hate... when people start to find this 'beautiful'. When they go and complement someone, .. on what ? No this is not her beauty .. this is fake. This is brainwashing and fucking up beauty standards from the top shelves. Get real

"Oke?" What's that?

+aasigraa I can understand what you're saying but then again we all see people and things differently and have our own opinions. Yes her appearance may be 80% synthetic but hell it's working bc she's pretty obvi

That is very true. Even if she wears make-up or wigs she's still pretty, Even without make-up she's beautiful.

WelcomeToTheCringeCorner :P hah, that's Ok, but mixed up with Dutch.

I would suggest buying your wigs from Etsy. They're real people making wigs & you can find just about anything! Costume/Cosplay wigs, front lace wigs, full lace, u-part, extensions, just-- a lot! You can also contact the seller & a lot of them get back to you in 24 hours or less! PungoPungo is a great seller & she's really nice! she has lace wigs & stuff. Kasouswigshop is also a nice seller & she sells a lot of costume wigs! Etsy is really worth checking out because there's a lot of options. (=

+Alfa162 *****Kasouscosplaywigshop is her name. Sorry! Definitely check out those sellers & what they offer if you really like wigs (=

Thank you!

Girl no, this tutorial was horrible. Look up how to make a lacefront look natural

No this is not how a wig is worn. These are cheap mass produced crap wigs. Buy a good quality wig and it will look better than your natural hair.

These "cheap mass produced crap wigs" she's using are not at all cheap. Did you even see how much they cost? The first one was $49.99 (round to about $51) while the other was $79.99 (round to about $81 and it was originally $127). If they were priced this way, do you REALLY think that they would be made cheaply. I'd like to see you wear a "natural lace wig" that "looks better than your natural hair". P.S. the wigs she's wearing are from the website Rockstar wigs that she models for. You should look it up. Affordable, but good quality

A wig shouldn't be glued to the side of ur face 🤣 and 50$ for a wig is CHEAP 😅

These wigs are made more for cosplay and stuff and not to look natural but if you want it to look natural I’d check another video

I second this

yes please

+SpookyChic You're very welcome, doll. Glad ya liked it! x

^ yes please, especially bangs. I find some wings have really long bangs and I want to cut them but I'm too afraid to ruin it!

like*

Best commemt! As a black girl im glad you found a place for wigs for you too

love that

I don't think you can really properly dye a synthetic wig. I tried with Rit Dye More for synthetic fabric and it didn't take. Let me know if you ever find something that works tho

+Natalie Fentener van Vlissingen Thank you!! Unfortunately, no I'm not, but maybe I can make it out that way eventually! Fingers crossed! x

+Alexa Poletti Awee!! ): Seattle would love you! So many nerdy, anime & kawaii loving people! I definitely recommend it. Oh and PAX too!

I would also like to know what lipstick the red is, I've been looking for the perfect red and I havnt found it yet >< but that one is stunning

Hahaha! I just made a comment about how she reminds me of Adore's look! Good call for Willam!!

+Merrida100 omg its like a mini me Adore!! so true. but ya we gonna get Willam in on this like now xD

You see the Adore look too? That's too funny. I know Willam would have a blast on this one. As soon as she put the pink wig on and started smiling, I saw that big grin and totally saw Adore (and that laugh of hers!) Wish I could reach Willam for this one. I'd totally watch. Kudos to you!!

+Merrida100 lol ya this girl is adore-able ...we what i did there x)

omg yessssssssss

Try clip in extensions first - maybe a fringe extension - then a wig with a hat - work your way up to it.

+Ayumi Nakahara 70-93% alcohol usually dissolves the glue.

+Ayumi Nakahara If you get spirit gum, most of the time it will come with a remover. Use like a lip brush and dip it into the remover and just slowly remove the spirit gum. I know this bc i work with sfx makeup.

+Theonebandgeek I normally use like eyelash glue cuz I was thinking it's kind of safe on face. I tried makeup remover it doesn't work. so normally I just wash with cleanser.. if alcohol where can I buy those? that's kind of safe for face skin type. does it have specific name for it?

Ayumi Nakahara Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. If it's anywhere near your eyes you shouldn't use alcohol and instead use Isopropyl myristate (which you still shouldn't get in your eyes but it won't fluff them up as bad as alcohol)

+Quinnington The Fourth thank youuuu

+Torry Tough yussss, I love it!

it looks soon good! do you know if it's out yet? (the blonde I mean) because they have a light blonde one but I'm not sure if thats the same one

+Alexa Poletti link to the black wig?

+Torry Tough the link to the wig is on the description box :3

Thanks!!

+leilani cervantes taking to a hair dresser would be a good option!

+Forest Que oh..that's a good idea thanks😊
