In this informal, vlog‑style YouTube video, Natalie Nicole documents her solo process of trimming a synthetic Bellami × Tokyo Stylez "Eye Candy" wig. She frames the activity as a low‑stakes way to experiment with a new look without permanently altering her natural hair. The video walks through her preparation (wig cap from SHEIN, trash bag, kitchen scissors), her decision‑making about length and style, and the actual cutting, which includes many on‑the‑fly adjustments, mistakes, and moments of self‑doubt. Natalie shares personal context—stress from finals, a desire for change, and the appeal of wigs for flexible self‑expression—while also offering practical observations about synthetic hair (curl loss, shedding, difficulty restyling) and tips for viewers attempting similar cuts. The tone oscillates between nervous humor, candid self‑critique, and enthusiastic encouragement, ending with a call for audience feedback and a promise to continue experimenting with hair styling.

Start from the back? Do we start from the back or do we start right here? Ah, yeah, cute. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Hi guys, what's up? It's Natalie. Welcome to or welcome back to my YouTube channel. So today we're in my bathroom, something completely different, I know. So I'm bored and I need some some life changes, but not like permanent ones, ones that I can like fix if I mess it up, you know what I mean? So I'm cutting another wig. This one's gonna be my long one. I'll show you. It's this way. Oh, do I want to cut? Yeah, it's this wig from Bellamy, the Tokyo style. I think it's Eye Candy. She was fun for a while, I'm not gonna lie. Gave me a little bit of a, I don't know, Hannah Montana vibe. But I'm getting older and I really don't want my hair in my butt anymore. So I'm gonna cut her into like, I don't even know. I— okay, so these are the pictures I saw when I got this idea. I was like, ooh, her hair looks so good, I want to do that. But I'm too scared to do it on my own hair, so I'm gonna do it on a wig instead. That way if I hate it, I can just like remove reduce, recycle. No, but I can just like not wear it if I mess it up. So this is what we're working with today. I'm very nervous but excited. Um, this is not my first wig cutting video. I did one before. It'll be like right over here if you guys want to go check that one out. And I ended up loving that wig, so I'm excited to see how this one turns out. When I first bought this wig, I thought the bottoms would be a lot blonder, the top wouldn't be like as orangey. As it is. It's kind of like a— I don't even know. It's not brown brown, but it's not like auburn either. It has like an orange tone to it, and I can't do anything to it because it is synthetic. So yeah, we're gonna cut this wig. Let's go. I'm nervous. So the first thing I need to do is put my hair in a wig cap. My stomach hurts. Ugh, I hate when that happens. Okay, so my natural hair isn't long, but it's not short, and it's curly, not straight. I'm gonna put my head in this wig cap. I actually got these wig caps from SHEIN. If you guys like want like affordable, cheap, good wig caps, go on SHEIN. There's like, I think you get like 9 for like $3 or something like that. I don't really know. I got it kind of a while ago. Was it Shein? Yeah, I think it was. Good hairs in. I look like a beauty girl. Serve, serving looks. You want food? You want potatoes or rice? No, I'm kidding. I'm really nervous, so let's clip her in. Oh my God, if I end up hating this, not gonna lie, I'm gonna be kind of mad. You get the limo out front. Ooh, oh, ew, why do I look like this? I look like the guy from Harry Potter. You know what, it's fine. Okay, this is really— it's getting in my eye. It's not fine. Where's my brush? Got my brush. Okay, I think my plan of action is to not freak out. Do I want to cut? Yeah, I definitely do. If you're asking why I look like a tomato, it's because I went outside yesterday and I just laid out in the sun because I was so stressed out because I had a final. So I was like, let me go get some sun, watch TikToks. Also, if you guys don't follow my TikTok, what are you doing? Actually, what are you doing with your life? I post so much. Enough talking, I need to like do this. Let me put the camera like a little more down so you guys can see. So it's pretty long. I'm over the long hair though. Um, let me look at my inspo picture. Okay, so it's like about here. Yeah, cute. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Right, is it like right boob? Boob? Push-up boob though, or like regular? Uh, I'm gonna do it to here. Okay, okay, I should get a clip. I'm so not prepared. So I'm not going to lie, I'm not a professional. Hell, I'm just not. Um, however, I do watch a lot of hair videos. I should get a trash bag, right? One momento. So I got a trash bag. Okay, I'm gonna put this on the floor because last time I cut my hair, I was picking up hair and stepping on it for a good like 2 months. Okay, so let's go to— I think my plan of action is— is that what it's called, plan of action? Is to start from the back? Do we start from the back or do we start right here? Ah, I need my mom. Okay, I'm going to cut this and see how this looks. That was my stomach. Okay, actually I kind of like that, not going to lie. Okay, small pieces like that and just cut them. Um, what's up, you guys? Am I the only one having a mental breakdown lately? Is that just me? Oh, I cut it too short. I hate my life. No, it's fine, it's fine, Natalie. It is fine. I'll fix it at the end. You know what, I need to stop stressing out because I feel like the more I stress the worse it's gonna be. How do like hair people do this? They probably don't use kitchen scissors either. That's probably the first step. That's probably where I'm going wrong right now. I'm using kitchen scissors. Okay, I can't leave it like this, obviously. So time to cut more. Guys, I have my last final today. I'm so happy. I'm taking summer classes, if you didn't know. That's crazy. This is crazy. I'm actually liking it, like this length. Maybe I just hate the wig. I don't, I don't really know. I'm gonna regret this so much tomorrow. I feel like I'm the type of person though that just needs change. I constantly need change, whether it's my hair or my bedroom or— oh my God, that just went all over the floor— or I don't know, I just always just need change. It's like not a bad thing to need change, but I just feel like for me, wigs is a great way to keep my hair healthy, and I can change it up whenever I want to, which I do a lot. Because some days I like long hair for some outfits, and like I'm feeling like my long hair. Or some days I'm just like, I want to be cute and short hair, because then I see like Charli D'Amelio, and she looks so good with her short hair. And I'm like, I can, I can look like that, just different. So then of course that's where wigs come in, when I can just change my mood up. Oh my god, this is a lot of hair. When I first bought this wig, it came curly and I loved it. However, I wanted to straighten it and now I can't get it back curly again. So if you have any, um, tips on how I can get my hair back to curls— I know you're gonna say like Use a wand or use a curling iron. Girlie, I've tried that. It doesn't work at all. Um, so that's a no-go. This is really satisfying. I just cut this big chunk. Okay. Wait, this is kind of cute. It's a little shorter than I anticipated, but it's kind of cute. Make fringe. Okay, let me— I'm not gonna freak out, I'm not gonna freak out. Oh, where did this long hair come from? What the actual heck? Bye! Is she cute? Too late now, even if you hate it. Okay, let me do this. Now see what I mean? Like, it gets so naughty that it's very unenjoyable when I'm wearing this wig. Because I'm always— I mean, maybe that's just like a synthetic— oh my God, synthetic hair problem, which I'm pretty sure it is. Okay, starting on the next side. I don't know, I just feel like the top of this hair just doesn't match me like at all, like my vibe. I don't know. Okay, I'm doing this side. Let me make sure it's straight. Okay, yeah, see how like there's like so Like, you can definitely tell I botched it a little bit, but it's okay, I'm gonna fix it. Now on to this side. I'm right-handed, so this could either go super well or super horrible. I just wanna— I wanna make it as even as possible. Just chop. Oh God, I think that's too short. That is— oh my God, I knew I shouldn't have Okay, you know what, it's fine. Let me just cut more. Cute. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm nervous. I think the trick to cutting hair is always, if you're eyeballing it, at least cut longer than what you want because you can always cut it shorter. If you want it shorter, but you can't really go back if you cut it short and you want it a little longer. It's not how that works. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. I'm actually really liking this. This is very therapeutic. I should be studying for my final— ow— but instead I'm cutting my hair. Nice. Okay, I don't know how I cut my other wig so well, but I also did my blonde wig. I cut that one too because like I feel like during the summer I just want short hair. I don't want my hair touching my butt. Like it's cute and all, but not for the summertime. And I cut my blonde hair to be like a bob, kind of like a long bob. That turned out horrible. My mom was like, "Did you do this like with a blindfold?" And I was like, "No." She's like, "Because it's horrible looking." So go. Alright. Also, another little tip if you're doing this, if you're following this tutorial, which which it's not a tutorial, cut smaller chunks so you kind of know. Actually, just don't listen to me. Don't listen to me at all. But if I hate this, I can always buy another wig. Oh my God, what did I just do? I'm not gonna freak out. Simply just not going to freak out. I don't have the energy to freak out. Where do these like little straggities come from? That's what I want to know. Do you see all these? Is it just because like the hair is shedding or what is this? Where do you guys come from? I still want to— see what I mean? Like, I don't want I like how this bottom part's longer. I wish I cut it a little tiny bit longer, but like, it's totally fine. Now, see like this part? I hate that. Be easier if I had like a friend here to like hold my hair down while I did this, but I don't. So instead I'll just eyeball it. Um, okay, let's see this side. That's actually not that bad. Should I quit YouTube and start doing hair? Actually, I really wanted to. My mom said no, which is really unfortunate because I feel like I'd actually be really good at it. But see, I'm too scared with doing it with people's hair because like, that's their hair, you know what I mean? Like, if I botched their hair, not only would I feel bad I would just feel horrible. I kind of like it. What do you guys think? I feel like this should be cut like a little more. Do we hate it or do we like it? I can't tell. I think it'd be cute if it like curled in, kind of, you know what I mean? I should probably look at the back and try and figure out if they're even. Okay, I like legit can't even see. Is it even? Are they even enough at least? Okay, I like legit can't tell. Oh, that's so annoying. Why don't I have friends? I actually did a pretty good job. Mom, look at me go. I want to do my makeup and see like who I can catfish. All right, well, that was a fun video. Now I'm gonna play with my hair for the next 2 hours instead of studying. I don't like that. We've got to fix it. Why did I cut that so short? Oh, what did I do? When did I do that? It's, it's like legit a whole entire chunk missing. Why did I do that? Oh, when did I do that? It actually looks like I'm an idiot. Okay, maybe that might help. Okay, let me check this side just so I know that they're even. So when I first got this wig, the picture they showed was not this wig. Oh wait, that actually looks okay. It was not this wig whatsoever. It was more like blonde blonde at the bottom instead of this like brassy— I don't even know what it is. Um, so when I got it, I was like, is this the right wig? So, but now I kind of like this. I think I'd wear this a lot more because it's not like too long. It's not like short short. I should have cut it like here realistically, like I said I was going to. But I got a little carried away, which happens a lot. All right, well, I cut my hair for a video. What's new? Thank you guys so much for watching. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe.
