How To: Make A Lace Closure Wig By Hand| Wig Making 101

So yeah welcome back to my channel, so we are winding down in the wig making 101 series and in today's video, I'm gon na be showing you how to create a lace close your wig by hand. So if you would like to see this tutorial and are interested, then stay tuned, so jumping straight into the tutorial. If you haven't already checked out my previous tutorial on how to place your closure or your frontal, then definitely check that out before checking out this video. So what i'm doing here is placing a track around perimeter of my wig to cover up the band of the wig. So basically I'm doing this so that when the wind blows, you don't see the band of the cap of the wig. So it's easiest to pin your hair down in the motion or in the direction that you're going to sew it in just to kind of prep it so that when it's time for you to so, it's just easy to just go ahead and sew over the pins Position I like to use when I'm making my wigs is the blanket stitch and I'm gon na insert a picture of it here, so that you can see what it looks like up close, so feathers. First trek. I do not fold it because I do not want the bulkiness but normally and you'll see throughout the rest of this tutorial. I do fold the tracks so to finish off the track. I get as close as possible to the closure, but I do not show my tracks to my closure just in case you want to replace the closure at a later time. So I just do that and then I'll tie about three to five knots. I'Ll cut off the remaining thread and then I cut the track and that's your first track for your wigs moving on to the next track. You just want to form the track in the u-shape, and then this is going to be the pattern that you take. All the way up into the top of the wig, if you haven't already be sure, to check out this video on how many bundles you'll need to create your wigs. So in that video I mentioned that for my closure units I like to use three bundles, so for my first two bundles, I do tend to double those tracks and, as I get closer to the top of the week, I will start to single track. My bundle. Okay, so as we get closer to the top, I have started to begin to single track. My last bundle - and I'm going to do this up until I get to the closing piece of this wig. So when I am closing up my unit, I like to sell my bundles very, very close to the closure or the frontal, but not actually on the frontal or the closure. The reason for this is because it's easier to do maintenance on your frontal when it starts to bald or when it starts to thin by taking it and removing it, then to having had then having to actually cut off the tracks. And it's just a less of a hassle, so don't fill your closure to your bundles unless you are sure that this is a wig forever that you're not going to want to do much maintenance on. So if you've made it this far in the video and you've been following along, you have a successfully learned how to create a lace closure wig, and this is what the inside of the wig is going to. Look like a woman to take it off. Of your. Can of hair, and now it's just going to go ahead and cut off the remaining cap in style her and we're done so.
