Let'S Make A Wig| Wig Making 2022 |Sewing Machine

Hey everyone welcome back to our channel today, i'm just going to be showing you a little bit of the process that i take when i'm making my units right now. I have about three custom units that i'm doing and a couple of ready-to-ships. So i just wanted to just take you through the process. Just show you a little bit from start to finish, um, how i create um our units, so yeah stay tuned. So here i'm just mixing some bleach with developer to get ready to bleach the knots on my lace, closure and i'm using a 40. But i normally use a 30.. I ran out of 30, so i did have to use the 40. and i let the bleach sit on for about 30 minutes. You'Re going to see me check here, i'm checking. I can see that the knots are not ready and then i'll check again and you'll see the difference when the knots are actually ready to wash out. So i'm gon na just wash it with some neutralizing shampoo i'll, always use that first and then i'll go in with my purple shampoo. The point of the purple shampoo is to tone the closure it'll take out any yellow brassiness in the closure. I'M just showing you the mess, don't the mesh dome caps that i use and i buy them in a 12 pack i'll leave the link in the description box, i'm just showing you the v-shape of the cap. Some people use it towards the front and some people use it back honestly i'll do both. It just depends most of the time i do put the v in the back, but i have um the in the front and i'm just blocking off my measurements. Just having the rulers on the dome head just makes that part a lot easier after i'm done with my measurements, i'm going to take that extra um cap out, because i want this cap to be flat when i'm sewing on it, and i did do a video Showing you how to remove that extra space um by pulling it to the front this time, i'm pulling it pulling it down to the back, there's another way that you can actually do it. It doesn't really matter as long as that cap is flat. So now i'm going to get ready to put my closure on. I am using a 5x5 closure. The rulers just make again makes it easy. I can see my marking, i know it's a 5x5 and i put it at the four and a half inch mark um. So my closure is a half an inch past the cap, and when you pull it down, you want to make sure you pull it down nice and tight. You don't want to you, don't want your um closure to have any lumps in it. It should be flat to the cap, i'm gon na sew that down and i always start on one side sew to the middle, and then i start on the other side and sew to the middle okay. So now i am drawing my lines. I do make fewer lines than i used to if you watch my previous, how to make a wig video um, i used to draw more lines. I draw less lines now and i find that to be a lot better. I like it. I know you see white stuff on my wefts. Just don't pay that any mind i did um. I gave the hair a bleach bath um beforehand, because i needed it to be that uh to get that brown color and it left like the bleach residue on the wefts. But once i washed the wig it off. So i just finished doubling my tracks and then i'm going to start sewing those tracks on to the mesh stone path. So when you take your weft, you want to start at the end, get it as close to the end as you possibly can without going over, and you want to stitch that end down and get it in place by back stitching and once you do that. You want to lay your track across your line and sew, and you want to do it in stages. I'M going to show you the next track, how i straighten it as i'm sewing, so lay your track down. Do your backstitching take your track, straighten out that part of the cap right there and keep doing that as you go down and you're not pulling the cap we're just straightening it out make sure your hands are relaxed, so you're not stretching the cap or pulling it Too much and you're not pushing the cap or anything you're, letting the machine do the work. It'S um. The machine will feed it right through all you're doing is guiding. I'M gon na attach my wig comb with a straight stitch, and here i'm just showing you how flat and every you know how it is and how flat it is. You want to make sure you're checking just to make sure that your wefts are flat, because if it's not, you can just go ahead and cut it out right in there and do it again. Instead of sewing the whole wig up and then you'll see that your tracks are not laying flat and then you have to cut and take apart the whole wig. So if you take the time to do this while you're sewing, then you can, you know, save yourself. Some trouble okay, so i'm up at the top of the wig. You want to make sure that your tap is curving with your tracks. When i first started it used to take me like anywhere between, like an hour and a half to two hours, to get my wigs right on the sewing machine. Now it takes me about like 30 to 40 minutes, depending on what type of weight i'm making. How many bundles? I always take my time, i don't rush. I know some people to me. It'S just not a time thing as long as i get my tracks right. That'S all that matters to me. Okay, so now my wig is complete, see how nicely that last track is lying across the closure. And now i'm going to attach my elastic band, the elastic band will help um for the wigs to you know so, worn blueness by the clients, nice and neat. The work is neat. You want the work to be neat not only on the outside, but you want your work to be neat on the inside as well. So now that i'm finished this wig is put together, i am going to put my blonde highlights into this wig. So here i just sectioned off the pieces that i'm going to be highlighting and then i'm going to go in with um some bleaching powder and some after all, i was done. I went and i made sure that i washed this unit out really well and i made sure that i treat it and condition this hair when you're using chemicals in the hair. You want to make sure that you're conditioning and treating the hair to bring it back. You know it's um, it's its original state, pretty much because you're taking a lot from it, so here i'm just doing a little bit of plucking good and i'm almost finished with this unit after i pluck it, i am going to let this unit dry and then I'M going to cut layers into the unit to um, you know give it a little bit more. When i put my little wig curls in the unit. You know everything just lays so much better. When you add me - and this is a ombre brown unit with highlights - and this is how she looked when i was done - thank you so much guys for watching until next time you
