Product placement

Akemi Hair: ACTS - the brand name is visible on a sign in the background, and the creator mentions making a wig using bundles and a closure from this brand. Removing it would not change what happens in the video, but it is the brand of the product being used. The creator is also wearing a wig made from this brand's products.

Transcript

My neighbor does lots of house parties and I go to like most of them and because they're honestly so much fun. And I'm at the party, I'm chilling, I'm drinking, I'm having a good time and this girl walks in. And I don't know what it was, but something about her just caught my attention. I'm like, wow, she's really pretty. I think I just loved her skin tone, the gap in the front of her teeth. As weird as that sounds. I was like, wow, she's pretty. So I just walked up to her and I was like, hey girl. She's like, oh my god, hey. I'm like, hey. I'm like, you want to be a content model? I'm a hairstylist. Like I have some wigs when I come over to my house and let me throw one on you. And she was like, yeah. So this is us two days later, me just freestyling something on her head. And she probably thought I was joking because I was a little tipsy, but I'm like, no, like I'm dead ass. I need to make some content. And I bet you guys don't know this, but I actually wanted to be a photographer before I became a hairstylist. That was my first dream. I wanted to go to NYU and go to film school in Miami. So now I can do the hair, do something pretty, think of like a good little concept, you know, get a camera and get like some pictures of it too. So I think I'm gonna be that girl now. Like if I see someone, I wanna shoot, I'll just walk up to them and be like, hey, let me put some hair on you and let me get some pictures. Obviously, I love doing hair. So now I can do the hair, do something pretty, think of like a good little concept, you know, and then get a camera and get like some pictures of it too. Because this was really random, but also like a lot of fun.
