Bleach the Knots on your frontal/ closure


Before







After





 Before you bleach your lace frontal/closure you have to make sure the hair is VIRGIN hair or it will not bleach and if you try to bleach the hair it may turn to a horrble gray color, and you do not want that to happen.
 The reasons why people bleach the knots on their fronta/ closure is because they want the hair to look like it is growing from their own scalp and not look like a wig. Some women use a frontal/closure as a way to protect their real hair... or because they have no hair and would like the appearance of hair growing from their head.

I will be telling you how I bleach and tint my closure. I am not syaing this is the right way.. But this is how I do mine,

 You will need:
 1. Your closure/ frontal
 2. Bleach powder and activator
 3. Gloves
 4. Bowl and dye brush
 5. aluminium foil




                                       

1st you are going to mix the bleach powder and peroxide activator until you get a consistancy not too thick and not too watery because you don't want the bleach to get all over the hair, you just want it on the knots. stir completly and get all of the lumps out. Once the product is fully mixed place the bleach on the back of you frontal/closure  *As seen in photo


Be sure to not get bleach on the rest of the hair unless you plan on bleaching/dying the frontal then it should be ok.  Fold the hair in aluminum foil let sit for 5 mins and check to see if the color has lifted... if not then let sit for five more minutes.  Shampoo and condition like you normally would and place on your head. :)  There are so many different installations that you can do for a closure/frontal. some people use tape, some use glue and some just use a sewing needle & thread.
 I do recommened making your own silk scalp or you can also buy silk closures/frontal. but it is cheaper to make your own at home. There are tons of videos on youtube that you can watch to learn how to make one and more about them. Don't froget to cut the lace as close as you can to your hairline with out cutting the hair on the lace.
 I hope this helped and I hope you enjoy your closures!

*Vagacials*

       Taking care of the hair down there                  


Ladies I know it is not summer yet, but lots of people are taking vacations to warmer weather and want to look good in their bikinis! #TeamNoRazorBumps lol! So I just want to share an at home solution with you all , that you can do if you wax/ or shave! This is especially good for women who's pubic hair grows in curly!! If your pubic hair grows in curly you are more prone to razor bumps and ingrown hairs! :(  Sad I know! But I am here to help!!!! One way to avoid razor bumps is waxing!  Waxing  down there can be scary! I know I know! But I am pro waxing! Take a friend with you to hold your hand (She can sit by your head lol) or take some relaxing music!!! It takes your mind away for a while! You have to be very careful of the places that you go to get waxed! You want to go to a sanitary place, check out reviews of the place before you go. I won't go to a place that is just a nail salon.. I have been to places that have used the same dipstick for eyebrows over and over.. How am I sure they haven't used that dipstick on somebody's private area?? I'd rather not have somebody's cooter cat by my eye!!!!

 But lets get started to your at home vagacial!!!! These are easy steps that you can follow and some products you already have in your home! Vagacials at a spa can be costly between $70- $150!!!  You can do this at home for less than $25 (Family dollar).
 Wait about 3 days after you have waxed or shaved to do this (If you are shaving  make sure you are using a brand new blade! Always shave down there with a new blade!)
1. Cleanse the area with an antibacterial soap (Dial, Nuetrogena)
2. Make sure the area is completely dry and apply witch hazel with a clean cotton ball
3. Steam, wet a towel with hot water (to your liking) and place it on the area for 10 mins
4. Exfoliate!!! Exfoliation is key, it removes dead skin and other build up! you can use a loofa, st ives facial scrub or you can make your own sugar scrub at home with your fav lotion and sugar!
5. Treat the area! A mask that you would use for your face is fine! I like to use Queen helen's mud mask!
6. Moisturize!!! Use a very moisturizing lotion! I actually like to use a body butter.
And then you are done!!!
