I am not sure why some ppl are commenting and saying this girl cannot do a video about lace front wigs because she is not black I am assuming. How are we as a society suppose to evolve when we treat ppl the way we don't want to be treated! Grow up! There are actual atrocities in the world that need outrage, not a goddamn wig tutorial! Anyway, luv this video you have a super cute voice :-)
I’m shocked at the serious amount of negative comments on this video. She does an amazing job! And if y’all have nothing better to do then sit here and be nasty it may be time to find a new hobby.
I randomly stumbled across this video and I see I can help! To hold down a lace wig without glue and worrying damaging your hair. Try "got to be glue" spiking gel. Place it around your hair edges place the lace over it and arrange it to style. Tie something around the font of ur hair for about 20 and boom!! It can hold for a couple days no problem! Just use water to take off. :)
@@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.
Finally! Maybe now more girls will just buy a wig instead of dying their hair and damaging it/being disappointed. Unfortunately, when people see videos or pictures with black women in them, they assume that it's not for them and only for Black women.
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
when people are preaching about cultural appropriation and how she's just not good at putting on wigs but like.... she works as a model for rockstar wigs. thats a cosplay wig website. it means that since putting on wigs is her job, she is not bad at it. She's probably better at it than the people saying she's not good at it. And also, how is a dang wig cultural appropriation? Just because it's got lace in it? She's wearing a wig because it's convenient for her and she likes it. She is not trying to be a different culture. TL;DR: She knows what she's doing and it isn't cultural appropriation. Bye felicia.
+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
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
Thank you so much for this series! I was diagnosed with breast cancer a month ago (was 25 when diagnosed now 26) and I will need to know as much as possible about wigs here soon and this series has really helped me. Thank you 💛💛💛💛
Having just purchased my first lace front wig I was totally freaking out watching this video because she answers all questions I had. She is awesome and as I already have had wigs and hairpieces I can say she does a really good job. I was worried not to treat the lace front wig right, but her explanations are very clear and I am not a native speaker. Brilliant !!!!
Finally!!!! Thank you this is the first understandable lace front video I've seen. It actually makes me feel more confident to buy a lace front. (yes, i've been avoiding them,lol). It seemed so hard
Since I wear wigs for cosplay, I kind of learn all of this from my own experience, (it's common sense, honestly). I did not know so many people would get upset about a white person wearing wigs. Plus she is the spokesperson for a wigs company so...
Could you maybe do a video on cheap wigs for us people that can't afford a 40 dollar wig? Maybe on the best cheap wigs, how to make cheap wigs look a little less crappy ect.
+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.
Omg where have you been all my life?!!! I just recently bought my first premium wig that was a lil over $1,000. For the longest time I've had it on its stand afraid to put it on cause I don't wanna ruin it or cut the lace wrong. But now, I can confidently wear my wig because I know how to put it on finally. I've been to a lot of other channels but their tutorials weren't as easy to follow or understand. Thanks girl!💚
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.
THANK YOU!! I recently went through a hair loss episode and it's so upsetting, and the amount of money that wig salons charge is even more upsetting! These tips are life changing! Thank you thank you :)
I don't even wear wigs and I watch all of these because you're so cute and nice and funny and beautiful and ugh like you're so elegant and regal but then so kawaii and sweet at the same time what
Why are there people arguing about racism in the comments :( Whether she did the whole wig thing right or not it's only hair... why bring such a horrible thing into a comment section of a video of a girl trying to be helpful:(
I just ordered my first wig last week. It is a bright pink lace front. I have been watching sooo many videos on how to make them look more natural, but every single one was of someone with natural color hair. Now that I have seen your video I am confident that my new bright pink wig is going to look extra natural with my bright pink hair ;)
Really informative and fun to watch! I've never used a lace front wig before, but after seeing this i'm really tempted to give one a go! Thank you for the great vid!
It is soooo helpful to see a white person doing a video on wigs! I 100% understand that all the wig innovations and upgrades through the years have been because of black woman.They're the reason wigs are so beautiful AnD versatile and modern and easy to find today. But in terms of tutorials, they were difficult for me to follow along. My favorite being a video having one of the steps, "Just cornrow your hair." It IS NOT the same as a tiny French braid lol
I'm new to wearing wigs and I was shocked to see that the side burn area covered the whole ear. Is this really how they are suppose to go. How does a person wear glasses with it glued down?
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
Wig technology belongs only to those who wear or want to wear wigs. Anyone who accuses this or any other TH-camr of cultural appropriation when discussing wigs is a troll trying to start a dispute based on nonsense. Whoever you are if you find this knowledge useful like, share, or subscribe. If not, offer constructive criticism and/or go elsewhere. TH-cam is a big place.
I wear uparts and full lace wigs only and i love them. I havent played with color yet but I play with length a lot. I feel like wigs are now a more normal thing and it's awesome.
Out of all the wig videos i have seen yours in BY FAR the MOST AMAZING one yet, I am going to watch all of your wig videos, I love your personality, your style, You are AMAZING!!!! I am just starting to get into wigs as i have shorter hair and it does not like to grow at all .. So instead of stressing over growing my hair & trying WAY to expensive ways for it to grow, I am going this route, SUPER fun, all different colors ETC ...
After watching so many videos in wig tutorials this series was my absolute favorite!! I appreciate your awesome bubbly attitude and all the very very useful information on all of ur videos! Keep doing what you do girl!!!
Can i jist say there are some people out there with ilnesses that mean they have no hair and sometimes cheaper is vetter and they dont have any baby haors to vlend i think she covered every ground possible for eveeyome who would watch for informationnx
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.
Thanks for this video. I lost most of my hair due to radiotherapy for a brain tumour about 6 months ago. Now that I have the strength to venture out a little I have bought a cheap lace front, I wanted a simple and clear video about how to wear one. It arrives tomorrow and I'm so excited, I've bought the glue you recommended ☺ My hair used to be to my waist and it will take years, if ever, to grow that long again.
Thanks so much for this! It was very well put together for a beginner like me. I’ve been watching tutorials for about a week while I prep a cosplay wig, and while those tutorials have been informative, they all assume I know at least a little about what I’m doing, which I absolutely do not. This was a great step-by-step that explained even little details that many people might not think to even include.
We have always applied these in the traditional sense and we love all these short cuts and and great tips for the hairline/part! Can't wait to do another, now!
Alexa this series has been so helpful! I'm just seriously getting into cosplay and your videos cover everything I need to know 💖 Keep it up! The only thing I'm not sure on is how you cut & style wigs!
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.
u saved me there with the lace stuff and concealer and eyeliner and the cutting. I was considering buying a lacefront and don't know what to do so your video is a big saver
Idea for another wig video, how to buy a wig or something for the first time wig buyer? I'd like to start wearing wigs, but I'm not sure where to start.
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. (=
This was the BEST EVER wig video I've ever watched. I am bran new to wearing wigs and a few weeks ago I ordered two for fun and fell in love with them but I barely know what I'm doing. This video was so helpful thank you so much!! Five stars lol
Could you make a video on how to care for and manage curly wigs? Just like an all about curly wigs. I just got my first wig and I'm still learning how to care for it. Thank you! Love your videos!
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
+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
This was incredibly informative and easy to follow, I'll definitely be sticking around for more! I've been playing around with the idea of chopping off all of my damaged hair and using wigs for a while while it grows back, and this gave me LOTS of reassurance! :)
That was so wonderfully helpful! I just got my first lace front wig and when I saw all the extra lace I was like UUUUHHHHH... This answered all my questions and I'm looking forward to getting mine set up properly haha! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
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
Wonderfully done, sweetheart! I ended up cutting my hair pixie style prior to my (attempted) enlistment considering buns are a pain to do for my hair type (fine, but I have a lot of it) and it's far easier to take care of. However, I miss having long hair at times and want to do more with it. Extensions are expensive for someone getting paid minimum wage so wigs are the next best thing. My first lace front is showing up at some point today and your video is so easy to follow. Since my enlistment has been delayed (exactly what happens when cars don't yield to pedestrians when it says walk) I want to do something fun with my hair. Thank you for such a fantastically detailed walkthrough!
It's so helpful for me that you also have pink hair! I have pink hair at the moment and I've been worrying about how to get it to match when I'm wearing a natural coloured wig. Thanks for your amazing tip!
I love this video. I've learned a lot. I never tried lace glue, tape or spirit gum. But I'm gonna try it out. Thanks for sharing this. You've gained a new Subscriber.
They would look even more natural if you cut some baby hairs. The straight across line makes it look more wig like instead of real hair. Either way I enjoyed this tutorial and loved the wigs😊 thank you for taking the time to explain how to secure them!
I bought my first lace-front wig from Rockstar a few months ago as part of my cosplay for DragonCon (Gretel from Hansel and Gretel Witchhunters) and I admit that I have been VERY nervous about even cutting the extra lace in the front off, and styling it in general, but your video was SUPER HELPFUL and has made me much less nervous about the whole process!!! (You also have a beautiful voice, which is a joy to find in the tutorial world!) Thank you so much for making this video, and I can't wait to watch more of your series!
I know I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say thank you. I was very intimidated by lace wigs but you made it look easy enough that I decided to get one. It looks so much better than my other ones even though it was cheaper. So thank you.
I'm so happy that i found your video...i lost a lot of hair because of a condition i have and i'm still loosing it , this video made me so much more comfortable about wearing a wig ,thank u sooo much , love you :3
You are the CUTEST!!! You look SO super gorgeous with the pink wig, your outfit, and your makeup. Great video! Love your energy. You’re super bubbly like me! 💖💖💖
I love your wig collection videos! are you thinking about doing one to show how to do different hairstyles for your wigs? I would really love to see one!
I love you so much, thank you for this video, I wanted to wear a wig for a concert and I was scared of it coming lose or looking rubbish while I jump around so you saved me with your tips. I'm also getting pictures with the group members and if my wig was looking mad, I might just go into hiding for the rest of my life so thank you for covering everything about lace wigs, because now I feel I can wear one confidently!
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!!
I’m happy to find this vid! I have a trauma to change my hair color or to curl it bc of my strict father and I still can’t change it even if I want to I had a huge fear to it, but I saw you vids and found it, I didn’t have idea to wear a wig! I feel like I can do what I want, now I’m full w positive energy thanks to you!! 💗
Honestly, this is so cool! I've brought my first lace front wig today. I've pretty much wanted one since... Wow, a hell of a long time. I don't have much money though, and those cost a lot for me, plus other hobbies I have that do cost money... I'm only getting started with lace front wigs, but I'm so excited and pumped for it I think I might just end up buying a whole lot of them. Anyways, I'm watching some of your tutorials to help me with handling and taking care of my wigs, and just, thank you! This is the most informative video about lace front wigs I've seen yet, and it helps me a lot! (Also, on a side note, you are incredibly gorgeous.)
I'm looking for a natural looking lace front, I like this one but it seems really unreal the idea of my ears covered by the hair. how can you fix that?
I just ordered my first lace front and i'm super excited! Your video helped a lot! Thanks to you I knew what to order and got everything from wig to glue. I even got the styrofoam head! Thank you soo soo much for this video!
could you please make a video about how to cut and style wigs? I have a wig that fits me really well but...the bangs are to long and on the wrong side of my face. it's the first wig I have ever owned so I really don't want to ruin it.
Thank you! Ive been a cosplayer for quite some years now (and due to hair loss wear wigs on the daily now)and finally got my first lace front wig with a widows peak this tutorial helps a lot!
i'm white and wear wigs exclusively. my real hair sucks so I pop a wig on and bam...i get the long strait hair I've always wanted. i finally feel beautiful. i only wish i considered them sooner lol.
Hey! You're adorable! And this was really helpful! Even though I'm a dude and seldom wear wigs. lol Also, I'm a professional merman, and I wanted to tell you that you'd make a WONDERFUL mermaid. That pink wig made me think of it, but it also is in your spritely bubbly attitude. You seem like you have a good outlook on life, and that is all it takes to be really good at it. Anyway, if that's something that interests you, let me know and we can talk about that. :3 Best wishes, MerPrince JV
Hey Alexa I would like to thank you personally for inspiring me to up my fashion choices and to love wigs even more than I do now I have only one but I want more plus you have inspired me to not to be afraid of what people think of me because of your outfit choices or my looks!
I am not sure why some ppl are commenting and saying this girl cannot do a video about lace front wigs because she is not black I am assuming. How are we as a society suppose to evolve when we treat ppl the way we don't want to be treated! Grow up! There are actual atrocities in the world that need outrage, not a goddamn wig tutorial! Anyway, luv this video you have a super cute voice :-)
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!
I shaved my head and began wearing lace front wigs, ANYONE can wear them, its so much better than how I used to damage my hair, wigs are amazingggggg
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’m shocked at the serious amount of negative comments on this video. She does an amazing job! And if y’all have nothing better to do then sit here and be nasty it may be time to find a new hobby.
Get off your soap box, no one cares

I still don't know how she makes them look so natural. When I wear my wigs my head looks huge and you can tell its a wig
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?

And you're super sweet and light-hearted about all these processes!
I don't even wear wigs and I watch all of these because you're so cute and nice and funny and beautiful and ugh like you're so elegant and regal but then so kawaii and sweet at the same time what
+Lucy Serenska oh my gosh hehehehe ;u; thank ya!
same 😂
You should wear wigs but they have to look real
Same :)
me too 😄😄
I don't wear wigs but this was very interesting and well done. If I ever need a wig I will feel well prepared.
Why are there people arguing about racism in the comments :( Whether she did the whole wig thing right or not it's only hair... why bring such a horrible thing into a comment section of a video of a girl trying to be helpful:(
People just like the drama I guess ahaha
I just ordered my first wig last week. It is a bright pink lace front. I have been watching sooo many videos on how to make them look more natural, but every single one was of someone with natural color hair. Now that I have seen your video I am confident that my new bright pink wig is going to look extra natural with my bright pink hair ;)
Really informative and fun to watch! I've never used a lace front wig before, but after seeing this i'm really tempted to give one a go! Thank you for the great vid!
+Kawaiiju Cosplay Woooohoo! Yesss, do it! x
It is soooo helpful to see a white person doing a video on wigs! I 100% understand that all the wig innovations and upgrades through the years have been because of black woman.They're the reason wigs are so beautiful AnD versatile and modern and easy to find today. But in terms of tutorials, they were difficult for me to follow along. My favorite being a video having one of the steps, "Just cornrow your hair." It IS NOT the same as a tiny French braid lol
Best commemt! As a black girl im glad you found a place for wigs for you too
this was actually soo interesting and informative!!
I'm new to wearing wigs and I was shocked to see that the side burn area covered the whole ear. Is this really how they are suppose to go. How does a person wear glasses with it glued down?
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 just purchased my first wig tonight and was watching several beginner wig videos and your video by far has been the most helpful. Thank you ‘ 😊
I wear uparts and full lace wigs only and i love them. I havent played with color yet but I play with length a lot. I feel like wigs are now a more normal thing and it's awesome.
Out of all the wig videos i have seen yours in BY FAR the MOST AMAZING one yet, I am going to watch all of your wig videos, I love your personality, your style, You are AMAZING!!!! I am just starting to get into wigs as i have shorter hair and it does not like to grow at all .. So instead of stressing over growing my hair & trying WAY to expensive ways for it to grow, I am going this route, SUPER fun, all different colors ETC ...
how to style super spikey wigs and suler long wigs please!!!
I second this
yes please
After watching so many videos in wig tutorials this series was my absolute favorite!! I appreciate your awesome bubbly attitude and all the very very useful information on all of ur videos! Keep doing what you do girl!!!
Can i jist say there are some people out there with ilnesses that mean they have no hair and sometimes cheaper is vetter and they dont have any baby haors to vlend i think she covered every ground possible for eveeyome who would watch for informationnx
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.
Thanks for this video. I lost most of my hair due to radiotherapy for a brain tumour about 6 months ago. Now that I have the strength to venture out a little I have bought a cheap lace front, I wanted a simple and clear video about how to wear one.
It arrives tomorrow and I'm so excited, I've bought the glue you recommended ☺
My hair used to be to my waist and it will take years, if ever, to grow that long again.
Makeup tutorial on this look please! My gosh girl you are killing it!
Thanks so much for this! It was very well put together for a beginner like me. I’ve been watching tutorials for about a week while I prep a cosplay wig, and while those tutorials have been informative, they all assume I know at least a little about what I’m doing, which I absolutely do not. This was a great step-by-step that explained even little details that many people might not think to even include.
I love that pink wig and that blonde one. It's the first time I've seen a wig with a widow's peak tho! I also love that pikachu bow.
We have always applied these in the traditional sense and we love all these short cuts and and great tips for the hairline/part! Can't wait to do another, now!
Can you make a how to trim side burns video?!?!
The Boy Who Cried Navy Yes, I need that, too XD
This is so helpful! I was so worried about spending money on a lace front without properly knowing how to affix it. Thank you so much!
Alexa this series has been so helpful! I'm just seriously getting into cosplay and your videos cover everything I need to know 💖 Keep it up! The only thing I'm not sure on is how you cut & style wigs!
+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.
u saved me there with the lace stuff and concealer and eyeliner and the cutting. I was considering buying a lacefront and don't know what to do so your video is a big saver
Idea for another wig video, how to buy a wig or something for the first time wig buyer? I'd like to start wearing wigs, but I'm not sure where to start.
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!
Alfa162
This was the BEST EVER wig video I've ever watched. I am bran new to wearing wigs and a few weeks ago I ordered two for fun and fell in love with them but I barely know what I'm doing. This video was so helpful thank you so much!! Five stars lol
What if I need to show the ears for a style? Would it look good to cut off the sideburns nearly completely?
Could you make a video on how to care for and manage curly wigs? Just like an all about curly wigs. I just got my first wig and I'm still learning how to care for it. Thank you! Love your videos!
omg she said
"dont act like you've never done it!
we have all been there"
i love alexa again XD
Best Lace Tutorial I Have Seen!
Most Tutorials Assume You Know Everything!
she is so beautiful. omg
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.
This was incredibly informative and easy to follow, I'll definitely be sticking around for more! I've been playing around with the idea of chopping off all of my damaged hair and using wigs for a while while it grows back, and this gave me LOTS of reassurance! :)
you look amazing with any hair color!! ughhh
That was so wonderfully helpful! I just got my first lace front wig and when I saw all the extra lace I was like UUUUHHHHH... This answered all my questions and I'm looking forward to getting mine set up properly haha! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Watching a wig video....
Amazon add before wig video...
Got my first wig on Amazon...
Coincidence?
I THINK NOT!
This is a really good and helpful video! Very informative, and one of the few I'm actually able to follow all the way along because it has captions!
Will you please make a video about dying synthetic wigs and if you can? Thanks. ♡
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
Wonderfully done, sweetheart! I ended up cutting my hair pixie style prior to my (attempted) enlistment considering buns are a pain to do for my hair type (fine, but I have a lot of it) and it's far easier to take care of. However, I miss having long hair at times and want to do more with it. Extensions are expensive for someone getting paid minimum wage so wigs are the next best thing. My first lace front is showing up at some point today and your video is so easy to follow. Since my enlistment has been delayed (exactly what happens when cars don't yield to pedestrians when it says walk) I want to do something fun with my hair.
Thank you for such a fantastically detailed walkthrough!
Any tips for wearing wigs in Summer? Cause... I can't.
It's so helpful for me that you also have pink hair! I have pink hair at the moment and I've been worrying about how to get it to match when I'm wearing a natural coloured wig. Thanks for your amazing tip!
Can you do a video on helping to make non-lace front wigs more realistic?
After watching this I went and bought my first lace front wig and it came today! So excited to start wearing it X
Oh dang you're that model from Rockstar ahahaha. I usually get the wigs you model. o.o
Never let anyone quibble with you over your quirkiness.You're wonderful!
is the black wig the same as the blonde from your autumn video?
+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!!
Omg she looks so cute w her dark hair and natural colored eyebrows 😍 of course love the alternative style also :)
Love it! and now I want a lace front wig :D They are so beautiful ♥
i bought a wig today off ebay, and out of all the videos i watched yours was the best described, thanks sooo much this helped me out so much :)
She's so beautiful with black hair 😍😱
I love this video. I've learned a lot. I never tried lace glue, tape or spirit gum. But I'm gonna try it out. Thanks for sharing this. You've gained a new Subscriber.
They would look even more natural if you cut some baby hairs. The straight across line makes it look more wig like instead of real hair. Either way I enjoyed this tutorial and loved the wigs😊 thank you for taking the time to explain how to secure them!
I bought my first lace-front wig from Rockstar a few months ago as part of my cosplay for DragonCon (Gretel from Hansel and Gretel Witchhunters) and I admit that I have been VERY nervous about even cutting the extra lace in the front off, and styling it in general, but your video was SUPER HELPFUL and has made me much less nervous about the whole process!!! (You also have a beautiful voice, which is a joy to find in the tutorial world!) Thank you so much for making this video, and I can't wait to watch more of your series!
please please please do one about cutting wigs!♥ thank you so much alexa :) 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!
One of the most informative and fun videos I've seen on this process, your enthusiasm really shines through!
This was wonderful, thank you for making this!
+SpookyChic You're very welcome, doll. Glad ya liked it! x
Seriously one of the best vids ive seen , answered all my questions ,i just got my first wig !! Can't wait !!!! Your Amazing !!!
and now I understand that Ludacris song much better. Bentley car cover lookin line a lace front wig. thank you!
like*
I know I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say thank you. I was very intimidated by lace wigs but you made it look easy enough that I decided to get one. It looks so much better than my other ones even though it was cheaper. So thank you.
Hey Alexa, what lipstick are you wearing? I know that's not the subject of this tutorial but it looks really nice so :))
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
I'm so happy that i found your video...i lost a lot of hair because of a condition i have and i'm still loosing it , this video made me so much more comfortable about wearing a wig ,thank u sooo much , love you :3
I love this series! That pink wig is the cutest ^-^
You are the CUTEST!!! You look SO super gorgeous with the pink wig, your outfit, and your makeup. Great video! Love your energy. You’re super bubbly like me! 💖💖💖
she looks like adore delano with black hair and I'm living for it
love that
The wig queen. You’re what got me into wigs I think.
I love your style and personality! Are you going to PAX Prime?!? I'd love to see you cosplay!
+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 love your wig collection videos! are you thinking about doing one to show how to do different hairstyles for your wigs? I would really love to see one!
So cute!! Also she sounds like Mabel from Gravity Falls
I love you so much, thank you for this video, I wanted to wear a wig for a concert and I was scared of it coming lose or looking rubbish while I jump around so you saved me with your tips.
I'm also getting pictures with the group members and if my wig was looking mad, I might just go into hiding for the rest of my life so thank you for covering everything about lace wigs, because now I feel I can wear one confidently!
why do I want willam belli to do a beat down on this video 0.0 (ps I loved the video!!
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
I’m happy to find this vid! I have a trauma to change my hair color or to curl it bc of my strict father and I still can’t change it even if I want to I had a huge fear to it, but I saw you vids and found it, I didn’t have idea to wear a wig! I feel like I can do what I want, now I’m full w positive energy thanks to you!! 💗
Can you do a video on how to be confident in a wig
Try clip in extensions first - maybe a fringe extension - then a wig with a hat - work your way up to it.
Honestly, this is so cool! I've brought my first lace front wig today. I've pretty much wanted one since... Wow, a hell of a long time. I don't have much money though, and those cost a lot for me, plus other hobbies I have that do cost money...
I'm only getting started with lace front wigs, but I'm so excited and pumped for it I think I might just end up buying a whole lot of them. Anyways, I'm watching some of your tutorials to help me with handling and taking care of my wigs, and just, thank you! This is the most informative video about lace front wigs I've seen yet, and it helps me a lot!
(Also, on a side note, you are incredibly gorgeous.)
I'm looking for a natural looking lace front, I like this one but it seems really unreal the idea of my ears covered by the hair. how can you fix that?
Cat E.S You can just cut the wig around your ears. You can cut ear tabs or just trace around your ears
I just ordered my first lace front and i'm super excited! Your video helped a lot! Thanks to you I knew what to order and got everything from wig to glue. I even got the styrofoam head! Thank you soo soo much for this video!
could you please make a video about how to cut and style wigs? I have a wig that fits me really well but...the bangs are to long and on the wrong side of my face. it's the first wig I have ever owned so I really don't want to ruin it.
+leilani cervantes taking to a hair dresser would be a good option!
+Forest Que oh..that's a good idea thanks😊
Thank you! Ive been a cosplayer for quite some years now (and due to hair loss wear wigs on the daily now)and finally got my first lace front wig with a widows peak this tutorial helps a lot!
i'm white and wear wigs exclusively. my real hair sucks so I pop a wig on and bam...i get the long strait hair I've always wanted. i finally feel beautiful. i only wish i considered them sooner lol.
Man this is a great vid. So helpful. Seriously gonna buy a wig now because she made it look so effortless.
Hey! You're adorable! And this was really helpful! Even though I'm a dude and seldom wear wigs. lol
Also, I'm a professional merman, and I wanted to tell you that you'd make a WONDERFUL mermaid. That pink wig made me think of it, but it also is in your spritely bubbly attitude. You seem like you have a good outlook on life, and that is all it takes to be really good at it. Anyway, if that's something that interests you, let me know and we can talk about that. :3
Best wishes,
MerPrince JV
Hey Alexa I would like to thank you personally for inspiring me to up my fashion choices and to love wigs even more than I do now I have only one but I want more plus you have inspired me to not to be afraid of what people think of me because of your outfit choices or my looks!
How to dye a wig?
If it is natural hair, you dye it just like human hair. If it is plastic, you cannot dye it
markers and alcohol
This is one of the best tutorial videos that I've seen in a while.
