 It is sponsored by Love Me Hair, so thank you so much Love Me for sponsoring this video. I wanted to hop on and show you guys the finished product and then we're going to get right into how I installed this hair. And if you're new here, hey, my name is Akira Jenae. Don't forget to subscribe and join the family before you leave. So this is how your box will look. It has changed. It used to not have like any little design on the front, but I like the design. It's super cute. So in your box, you of course will receive your wig. Along with your wig, you'll receive a bag of goodies. You will receive a wig cap, a two-pack, and you will receive the little bitty brochure to tell you how to take care of the hair. So in the little goodie bag, you will have a headband. You'll also have a pack of earrings, and then you'll have bobby pins and a edge brush. It's the dual edge brush. So I really like that. Here's a little close-up before I start plucking and using lace tin and everything. It does come with one comb in the top, two combs on the side, and then one comb on the back. It's also came with an elastic band already on it, and the hair did come already curled for you. Right here, before I put it on my head, I did want a hot comb to hair, and this is just to get it as flat as possible before actually putting it on my head because the hot comb is hot, and I have burned myself before, so I would just like to avoid burning myself by all means. So I decided to use my foundation this time to put in the part, and then I'll start plucking, but in the next clip, you will see that I actually decided to switch the side of my part. The part came on the left side, but I like the part to be on the right side, so right here I'm sitting down. I had already flipped it over, but I'm just kind of defining the part per se, and then I'm going to pluck a little bit in that part, and then I'm going to use the hot comb also to hot comb this flat. So basically, it lays flatter on this side rather than the left side. So I just spent an hour braiding my hair under this wig. This wig is kind of tight. So yeah, it's probably going to, I'm plucking, that's why I got that like that, but she's snug. I have the elastic band in use right now, so I can't do glueless just simply because like it fits up here, but if I wanted to do glueless, like if I cut this lace off, you're going to see my actual hair right there because the wig kind of goes back. So the wig isn't, it's like not big enough for me to just completely do glueless, you know? So I would have to at least glue down these sideburns, and then I could probably get away with not going down the top. But I think I'm just going to go ahead and, my eyes are hurting, glue down the entire thing. I'm going to have to glue down the sideburns, and then we're just going to have to go from there. I'm plucking, I started to pluck behind the hairline first, and now I'm probably going to go in the front because, yeah, you see, it's not too realistic, but it's super cute. Before I start plucking on my head, I do like to use the hot comb to kind of hot comb all the hair back to get everything in place, so you can get a clean slate and see what you're working with, and then after that I will go ahead and start plucking on the hair. And then when I'm done with that, I'll take the wig back off and then I will start putting powder foundation on my wig, excuse me, on my wig cap, ooh, tongue twister, to kind of get it a little bit more of my skin tone to make it look a little bit more realistic. The glue I'll be using today I got from the Beauty Supply Store, it is the Eben New York, I believe. It was like $14 with tax like $15. I didn't want to buy an expensive glue like Bold Hold or Ghostbun or anything because this will be my very first time ever upon a wig with glue. So as you saw, I did wipe my forehead, I just used regular witch hazel to remove the dirt and makeup at the top of my forehead, and then I want to put the wig back on, place it, and once it's placed correctly, I see a lot of girls cut the wig into three parts, so since I am actually gluing this down with real glue, I decided to actually cut it in three parts so it can be a little bit easier for me to lay down. So here I see all the girlies do dots around the perimeter of their head. So that's just what I'm doing. Like I said, this is my very first time ever installing a wig like this with some glue. So I wanted to do it right, and after putting all the dots that I wanted, I just spread it out with the end of the rat tail comb. Some girls I see on YouTube use in a popsicle stick, whatever. I just used it in my rat tail comb and then I let this sit, I believe, for 10 minutes. I put a timer on and even after 10 minutes you will see like the white was still there. It was faded, but it was still very much white. So maybe I didn't spread it out correctly. I don't know, but definitely you may you may be going to have to let this sit for like 15 minutes. I guess that is maybe the downside about using this brand. It takes a minute to dry. I know other brands usually dry a little bit faster. So I'm not sure if I already mentioned, but this is their HD lace and baby. When I say HD, it is HD. Look how this is just melting into the hair. Granted, the glue is in all the way dry, but this wig is melting. It's melted. Okay. I think I did pretty good for my first try, if I do say so myself. So you'll see at the end that the glue did dry up pretty well, but this is their HD lace and baby it is so, so good. So why have the elastic band on? I think I did let the elastic band sit for about like 15, 20 minutes. I did decide to go ahead and wind curl the hair. I already showed which tool I had attached to it. I did have the larger attachment on this one because I wanted bigger body wave, loose wave, beachy curls and I love the loose wave look. It looks very, very natural and this hair is definitely giving natural. So I decided to just go ahead and use the larger rod. I think it was 32 mm if I'm not mistaken. I did use it on 405 degrees heat. I would not use that for natural hair, but for, you know, wigs and stuff, I definitely go almost as high as possible on the heat. Now that the glue is about 95% dry, I'm just going to go ahead and cut off the lace and once I cut it off, you're going to see how well this hair and lace blends in to your skin. Looks so natural, so good and that glue right there, I just added a little bit too much glue to the side. Don't worry about it. I did wipe it off at the end, but I'm going to go ahead and cut off the side and then the front. Finish product is so freaking cute, like hold up. Hair details and stuff, I should have probably already said and they're going to be down in the description box below. I did forget what link they sent me. Everything will be on the screen or the description box, but baby, this is super cute. The hair came pre curled as I'm pretty sure you saw in the video. I did use a wand curl just to put in a little bit, a few looser waves in here, but honey, like get into it. Get into it. Get into it. Get into it. It did come in a side part. The side part was actually on this side, so it was like flipped over this way. The type of side parts does not look good on me, so I just flipped it over this way, used the hot comb, turned over here on this side and I am in love. The hair is super, super soft, super silky, absolutely love it. Hair is a 10 out of 10. I did use glue on this install. You guys know I don't like glue. I probably already said this, but I'm in love. Let me just, okay. I used glue on this one. This was my very first time putting actual glue on my hair, not like I got to be glued with gel and I must say it actually turned out pretty good. I did over pluck a little bit right here. I don't know if you guys can tell. I added mascara right here, so I'm not sure if you really can tell or not, but I did over pluck right here. Nevertheless, it is super cute. Like I said, I did glue it down. You can definitely put this wig as a glueless wig, but I told you guys, I think earlier in the video, that this wig cap was a little bit, well, it was a lot of it. It was snug on me, so I definitely wouldn't be able to have done a glueless method. But other than that, I really, really like this wig. It's so cute. Like, loving my hair is really doing it for me. Like, y'all are really doing it for me, seriously.
