Hey curlfriends!
Welcome back to another episode of BSS Look
for Less!
On this episode of BSS Look for Less I'm going
to teach you guys, how you can seamlessly
blend your natural hair with synthetic hair.
Synthetic hair has always been known for it's
super low quality texture.
But believe it or not synthetic hair is actually
the perfect option for natural hair.
It really mimics our natural poofy and frizziness
of our curly hair.
It's pretty much the best texture to get when
it comes to blending natural hair with an
extension.
I'm going to show you guys how you can seamlessly
blend your synthetic wig with your natural
hair.
All you're going to need are just a few items.
The wig I'll be using today, I've reviewed
before on my channel.
This is the "The Wig Collection".
This is the stock number LH-Afro.
You'll also need a styling gel, a detangling
comb, a moisturizer and just a few bobby pins.
If you have a wig like I have, it's really
cheaply made.
The lace on this wig is really rough so I
like to use a wig cap.
That's totally optional depending on your
choice.
If you wan to add in a wig cap, you can go
right ahead and add that wig cap.
That's all you guys need.
I hope you guys enjoy the tutorial and let's
get started.
We're starting off on really stretched hair.
I find that really stretched hair or blown
out hair is like the perfect texture to create
your braid pattern on.
I'm starting off with my leave-out.
I pretty much just want the front of my hair
to be left out, so I'm creating really small
braids about a half an inch in width.
They're pretty much going on opposite sides
using a side parting.
This is the very first step to having a seamless
blend.
You don't want to have too much leave-out
out.
But you want just enough to cover up your
wig.
The back part of your hair is completely optional.
It all depends on what kind of wig that you're
putting on.
The hair that I'll be wearing is really nice
and full.
I don't need really small braids to lay my
hair down flat.
I split my hair into two large sections to
create two large braids.
I detangled and sprayed with some water and
just added in a little bit of moisturizer
to guide me throughout this braid pattern.
I'm just going to braid my hair down into
one large braid.
On the side in which my side parting will
lay, I decided to split that section into
two so that the lace closure can lay more
flat.
Here you can see I have 1 large braid on one
side, and the two small braids on the opposite
side.
These two front braids are my leave-out.
Last but not least, the actual wig.
I added in my little wig cap because you guys
know this lace is extremely rough.
It feels like plastic and it's really harsh
against my hairline.
I'm just going to plop that wig on and set
it between the parting.
The lace closure is going to sit right in
the middle where that parting is.
I'm just going to style my hair now.
You can go ahead and get your wig out of the
way and begin to blend this leave-out.
I took down the braids, sprayed my hair down
with some water and I chose Olive Oil Eco
Styler as my styling gel of choice.
It really get's my hair nice, defined and
sleek.
I'm just going to put this around the perimeter
of my head, focusing it only on the perimeter.
This is synthetic hair on the wig.
I don't want to get any type of product build
up on the wig itself.
I'm just using this soft bristle brush to
blend everything in and make it nice and smooth.
I'm just going to twirl my leave-out with
the wig hair and bobby pin it into place behind
my ear so that I have a nice seamless blend.
Curly hair looks really great with some nice
laid down edges.
You might want to spend some time on those
edges.
Last but not least the concealer if you have
a lace closure or lace wig.
I went ahead and blended out that parting
and sprayed down any of the frizzy hairs in
this wig.
Here is the final look.
It's super simple and easy and it looks super
natural.
We have just enough leave-out to have a seamless
protective style with not too much of your
hair left out.
As well as some versatility in your styling.
You can push your hair behind your ear, put
a headband on it whatever you like.
I hope you guys enjoyed this blending tutorial.
Now you can master those synthetic wigs and
not have to spend a whole bunch of money on
virgin or human hair.
