In recent times, we’ve seen many ladies opting for wigs over weaves. They’re convenient, they allow your scalp to breathe, and they’re somewhat a bit cheaper than  weave installations. And most importantly, they’ve had gotten a total upgrade, looking more and more natural than ever before.

Nevertheless, the blending of our natural hair and the wig is still a bit tricky. Yes, even with the plethora of YouTube hair tutorials that are out there. Thankfully, ESSENCE caught up with Tokyo Stylez, the man behind the wigs of Karrueche Tran, K. Michelle, and Kylie Jenner, just to name a few, to discuss how ladies can achieve a flawlessly styled wig from root to end.

“I never use foundation on my wigs,” Stylez dished. Many ladies have used foundation or concealer methods, matching their skin tone to create a natural-looking part, but the wig guru doesn’t recommend doing so, offering, “I always tint my lace with fabric dye.” Side note: RIT Fabric Dye is his dye of choice.

To begin the process, you should start by dying the knots of your wig with a powder bleach mix, which is lighten the lace making it easier to tint. And if you want an even more natural look, pull out your tweezers, giving the hairline a more natural density.
