However, wigs, especially at the hairline, can feel heavy and thick, appearing unnatural and unrealistic. Unless you're wearing a wig for a white woman costume, you'll love it if you can make your wig look sleek, realistic, and smooth. The best way to do this is to break your wig. Thus, we will provide you with simple yet effective steps on burgundy wig plucking so that you can end up with a natural looking wig that will complete your OOTD look.

Simple Steps On How To Pluck A Wig

Some hair experts and stylists may not recommend bleaching the knots of your wig. As they say, it's complicated and over bleaching can damage your wig. However, the goal of breaking your burgundy wig is to make it look as realistic and natural as possible.

Bleaching the knots of your wig is one of the most important things to do before breaking in and wearing your wig. If the knots are properly bleached, it blends well with your scalp color and makes it look even more natural.

Step 1 - Prepare The Mixture.

Bleaching knots is as easy as ABC. However, you must get the right consistency to ensure the quality of the bleach. It should not be too watery or too thick. Here's how you do it.

Take two spoons of bleach powder and put it in a bowl. After that, put a small amount of bleach developer. Mix bleach powder and bleach developer to get the ideal consistency.

Step 2 - Heat Comb The Wig.

After preparing the bleach, hot comb the ends of the wig to make sure the hair is gone before you start bleaching. Wear disposable hairstylist gloves before applying bleach to avoid adverse reactions on hands.

Step 3 - Bleach The Wig.

Apply the bleach to the corner of the brush to make it easier to apply to the burgundy wig. Gently apply the bleach towards the front of the hairline. You should take your time and make sure to apply the bleach gently. The knots at the front of the hairline are more delicate than those at the middle and back.

Step 4 - Rinse The Wig.

After washing, use your favorite shampoo to remove the bleach color or brassiness.Please note that this is optional, and is up to you. However, washing your burgundy wig with shampoo tones will tone down the color and make it look more neutral.

Step 5 - Place Your Wig On The Wig Stand

It is recommended to use a burgundy wig stand to secure your wig to the pins when plucking so that it does not move or slip. However, if you don't have a wig stand or mannequin, you can place your burgundy wig on your lap or lift your wig directly over your head.

Some of you may think this is difficult, but it is not. Many people prefer this because they can easily trace the direction of their hairline by placing the wig on their head. If you want to do this as an alternative, you need to hold your wig firmly while plucking the hair.

Step 6 - Take A Photo Of Your Desired Wig.

Remember that the hairline is the point of breaking your burgundy wig. No one has a very straight, thick and heavy hairline. As hair grows all the time, it is not naturally the same length. So, you will customize and remove the excess hair for a natural look.Some hair enthusiasts take photos of their hairline or look for inspiration pictures to find out.

Conclusion

In no time, you'll be pulling how to pluck a wig like a piece of cake and pulling off different looks that will help you build that confidence.
