What you will need to begin:

• Synthetic Wig
• Tweezers
• Comb
• Alligator Clips
• Protective Shield (Transparent/Clear)
• Foundation or Concealer
• Wedge Make-up Applicator Sponge
• Hair Weaving Needle and Thread
• Small Angled Make-up Brush

0:05 Braid your hair. Decide where you would like to place your part and braid your hair accordingly. Braid your hair as flat as possible. A side part was chosen for this video.

0:10 Determine the location of your wig part. Try on your wig and decide where you want to place the part.

0:15 "Tweeze" the Part. Carefully pluck away the strands of hair within the part to give it a clean look. Finish by trimming the lace around the hairline.

0:20 Apply concealer or foundation. Place the wig on your head again to make sure the part is in the correct position. Pluck more hair away from the part if necessary. Flip your wig inside out and lightly apply concealer or foundation to the parted area. I used a handy wedge foundation applicator sponge. 

0:25 Spread the concealer / foundation down to the hairline. Lightly apply the concealer or foundation throughout the part and down towards the hairline. It is very important to apply at the hairline because it will help with the blending process.

0:30 Attach the wig. Attach the wig to your braids. Make sure that the wig is secure and does not move. The part should lie flat against your scalp. If the wig fits too tightly, be sure to modify your wig cap before attaching it to your braids.
