How to make a human hair wig?

What thins you will need:

1. Virgin human hair weft
2. 5x5 Lace Closure (optional)
3. Stocking Cap (or elasticated wig cap)
4. 4ScissorsPolystyrene (Styrofoam) or mannequin head
5. Pearl headed pins (optional but really helpful)

Step 1.Preparation

In order to make a perfect and comfortable wig, shoppers need to choose the type of lace cap they wish to use, decide between real human hair and synthetic hair, and then dedicate time to sew the hair in place.The main thing you having to sure the sizing of the cap measured to your head.

Step 2.Forming the Wig Foundation

Personally, I prefer lace [closures] because they're more flexible and it's easy to work with when blending your own scalp.You could find a cotton lace cap or another fine net cap that will fit your head and place that over the wig block.You should ensure your custom piece lands on your hair seamlessly like it's sprouting out of your head

Step 3.Preparing the Hair

I always advise the highest quality hair, whether is it European, Indian, or Chinese virgin hair.You can use any texture natural virgin human hair for your own DIY wig.Hair wefts- about three bundles should suffice (usually 100g per bundle) and you can either choose one length if you want to achieve a gradually layered look or several different lengths to keep the overall length more consistent.

Step 4.Creating the Wig

This is the most key steps.First of all, sew the wig under the edge of the cap in order to it can be worn in a high ponytail. Next, sew using the top and full method for secure wefts. Then make sure you secure the edge of your weft before flipping over.

Apply a new technique by laying your track in a U Shape pattern instead of the back and forth pattern.Not only it would allow the track lay smoothly once you finally apply the wig to your hair, but also, don’t forget to make sure you have tight neat loop&pull stitches when sowing.

Step 5.Putting On the Wig

Ok, next is to test the fit of the wig.Trim the lace. Remove the wig and set it aside. Apply wig tape. Apply the wig. That’s all, so easy, Isn’t it?

Can You Wash Wig?

Yes, you can do it if you know how to do it right. You should wash the wig but with the right products. This is the sole way to maintain it.

Can You Wash A Wig with The Regular Shampoo?

Notice that using the regular shampoo on the wig is not the best decision. Some shampoos are solely made to clean wigs. The wig strands aren't growing from the scalp. So, the products you use should nourish your strands.

There will be baby shampoo, hair shampoo, or regular shampoo, and all of them have varying roles. And none of them will work well on wigs.

Generally, the regular shampoo is made to clean the scalp oils when they form oil build-ups. So, it focusses more on cleaning out the natural scalp oil build up. Nonetheless, wigs are sometimes not attached direct to your scalp.

We often use the wig cap, and that means that wigs don't come to contact with your scalp. They often won't develop oil build up as your natural hair would. The only thing causing dirt is the sweat once you wear it over a long time.

So, the dirt you get rid of is the environmental dirt and not the common scalp oils. Other wig dirt comes from the product build-up. A good shampoo will quickly get rid of this.

If you decide to use regular shampoo, you are going to cause some major problems to the hair strands. Some of the problems include stripping the strands of their natural oils. This is particularly true for the synthetic wig.

If you are, however, using the natural hair shampoo, then using the regular shampoo makes it change the color. It further deteriorates its value.

Nevertheless, there's no cause for alarm if you have only used the regular shampoo a few times. You should stop using it and then start to nourish the hair using the deep conditioner.

Should You Wash the Wig Before You Wear It?

This is often more of a personal choice than it is a mandate. However, if you are using human hair in particular, you should remember to wash it first. I always say that some of the hair may contain lice, so you should get rid of them before you go on to wear the wig.
