Learn How To Fade

MAKE A HORSESHOE SHAPE

Using the Wahl Magic Clips cut out a horseshoe shape going back to the crown of the head. Don't take it all the way down to the skin. However get it as smoothe as possible.

DRAWING THE HAIR LINE

Start out by drawing the hair line with the liner pencil. It should be where your natural hair line is. Do not go too low or it will look unnatural. Take you time because this is the most important part of the process.

CLEAN THE TOP OF HEAD

Using rubbing alcohol, clean the top of the head completely. The scalp should be free of grease or hair that may stop the adhesive from sticking properly.

ADD SKIN PROTECTOR

Put the skin protector around the edges where there is going to have glue.

ADD GHOST BOND LACE WIG GLUE

Exactly where you added the scalp protector on the previous step, you will put the ghost bond glue.

ADD BLACK HAIR WRAP

Add black hair wrap but do not put it all the way down to the hairline. Cut off the access. This allows for the unit to be sweat resistent and hold up to water better. DO NOT SHAMPOO HAIR.

CLOSE OFF BLACK HAIR WRAP

Close off cap on the top. Put a little bit of black hair glue to seal it. Get it flat to the head.

CLOSE OFF BLACK HAIR WRAP FLUSH AND BLOW DRY

Close off the cap and stick down any open flaps. All flaps should lay flat. Blow dry on NO HEAT to finish dry the glue.

ADD BLACK WIG CAP

Take black wig cap and place it over the head and glue it down to the wrap. Put it around the wrap and across and down the middle.

SMOOTHE OUT THE GLUE

Evenly smoothe out the black hair glue. Then dry with a blow dryer on the NO HEAT setting. If you have to get the black hair glue off for any reason then use at least 91% alcohol.

CUT BLACK WIG CAP

Cut off the extra cap that is below the glue line.

ADD ELECTRICAL TAPE AGAINST THE HAIRLINE

Put electrical tape to support the hairline. Use 3 pieces. Left, right, and center. Match it the guideline that was created in the beginning.

ADD GHOST BOND GLUE

Add more ghost bond glue to the open area between the cap and the electric tape and smooth it out with the brush. ONLY DO THE FRONT FIRST.

REMOVE THE TAPE RIGHT AWAY

Add more ghost bond glue to the open area between the cap and the electric tape and smooth it out with the brush. ONLY DO THE FRONT FIRST.

CLEAN UP THE GLUE PERFECTLY

After removing the tape, use a scissor edge to clean up any glue that is not perfectly lined up.

FLUFF OUT CUBAN TWIST HAIR

Fluff out CUBAN TWIST HAIR to create a little bounce. Only to loosen up the hair a little.

PLACE THE FIRST PEICE

AFTER glue have dried to a clear color, place the first peice of hair at the front of the hairline where the line was drawn.

CUT OFF EXCESS

Cut off the excess hair at the front so it fits perfectly.

ADD MORE BLACK HAIR GLUE TO THE TOP

Add more glue to the top. Let it dry enough that it becomes sticky. Do not apply hair to the glue when it's completely wet or hair will fall off.
