Before.
Prep the hair for the wig. For long hair, pull the length to a low ponytail and place the first net over the head.
Twist the pony up and place a second net over the first including the pony.
Now place the wig over the netting, making sure to check the edges, securing to the base.
Although the wig has been pre-cut, go in and customize. Begin at the fringe. Direct forward and cut to the desired length.
Blend down along the face, point cutting for softness.
Blend down to the sides, cutting to the desired length.
To texturize, pull out select pieces and slide cut from mid point to end.
Continue to slide cut along the top. Pull up sections along the Mohawk. Pull up straight from the head and slide from mid point to end.
