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 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. :)

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.)
