Creating My First Wig From Scratch | Making A Wig Ep. 1 | Joselle

Coming up on joselle's big transformation, my head is not this big. Is it I'm fearing by the week now? I think she made a way. Please hey guys, it's just so welcome back to my Channel. First of all, if you're new here please subscribe to my channel, it's right down below. Also, please, like this video, like the videos, my Channel girls, to help me out a little bit like this video and anyway, let's get into it. So, as you can see by the title, I'm going to be making my own wig, okay from scratch, needle and thread sewing machine type things, okay and I'm also gon na be doing it and also laying it for the first time. I only have two wigs and they don't even put on my head properly, because my head's really big. I got a big head, but I want me a nice lace, front frontal closure, whatever kind of wig. You know what I'm saying, and I also really want to dye my hair Ginger, but scared. So I decided that would be smart is if I made a wig and dyed that way, Ginger and then put it on and saw. If I liked it and then I'll dye, my real hair, Ginger and also because making a wig looks like really fun and like not easy, but I feel like I could do it. I got a lot of experience with sewing machine. I love to sew and I love hair, so I feel like it's just a good thing. I feel like I feel like I made for this. You know so I'm thinking about spitting this video into three parts. First, video is going to be me actually constructing the wig. Second, video is gon na, be me dying. The wig and the third video is going to be me laying the way, because I don't know how to lay it away. The wigs that I have are not front to wigs, so I've never laid an actually before so it's gon na be a lot of first. In this little series I bought a whole bunch of stuff. I bought everything that I might need to make a wig, so we're gon na do a quick little unboxing. I'M so excited I've, never done it! Unbox you before before I actually unboxed the packages. I want to show you the hair that I got, which is right here, so this hair is Milky Way Saga gold, Remy Yaki in color two, and I think it's 10 inches. Now, whenever I wear any kind of like sew in or whatever I usually like to be a little bit longer, I'm kind of like a 12 14 16 18 kind of girl, but I think this would be nice. My mom got this hair from a website called heritagebeauty.com, and the hair is so nice and soft. Let me show y'all, can y'all see how nice and silky this is it's giving like Brazilian it's giving silk pressed type Vibes like it's, some nice hair and I got two. Each pack comes with two bundles, so it means I have four bundles in total, which should be more than enough now. Let'S open up these packages, first package is from Amazon and this is the closer. I got a closure okay, so this closure is an eight inch closure. Oh, it comes with earrings, that's so cute a little bit shorter than the actual hair, because usually if the hair was 10 inches or closure would be eight inches, so I feel like that's totally. Fine, it is a lace front closure. Definitely gon na have to bleach the knots hair. Okay, it looks really nice and it's a free parting. So you get to part it any way you want. So I'm excited about that. I think the closure is like 1B or something and the hair that I got is colored too, but it's not really gon na matter, because I'm literally gon na dye, the hair anyways also I'll link everything that I can down below next package. This one came today period. Okay, so I got the wig caps. I got the extra large wig cap. I don't really know if my head's, that big, that I need an extra large, but I decided I'd rather be safe than sorry, I'm guessing each individual pack comes with one wig cap, so I can make three wigs out of this. So that's my period now on to the boxes, foreign. This is the 24 inch wig head. I did measure it and it measured to 24 inches. My head is not this big is it. I don't know. Y'All also came with the tools, so you can put on a tripod or like Place onto a table. It came with two wig caps, some clips some thread and then the teeth pins are in this little package right here and now this Biffle box, which has everything that I got from the piece of my sword. So I got some Edge booster. I'Ve never tried it before, so I thought this would be the perfect time to try it. Then I got some got to be glue spray. I just got the small kind, because I'm not gon na be doing wigs. That often so I feel like I could. Just last with a small one right now, then I got the ghost bond which I realized after I purchased it, though this is probably not the best wig glue to be getting a lot of people have gotten allergic reactions to this so kind of wish. I did my research before I just went and bought gold spawn, but maybe I can return it. Hopefully I can return. It got me this cute, pink, mixing bowl because I love pink, as you could probably tell by my bed single and it came with a nice little brush. So that's great gummy rat tail comb because I used to have one, but I have no idea where it went so I got me another one and then I got me a brush which honestly, I probably won't even use. I might just use my hands, but at least I have it, you know the hair dye okay, so the hair dye that I got is copper brown, cinnamon and cajun spice. This smells good, oh my gosh. I love that my products smell good. This is the bleach. I just got this Clairol professional bead to powder and lightener at first I was gon na just do developer and the color. I wasn't gon na bleach the hair, but I felt like I should probably bleach it. Lastly, I got the Clairol professional, pure white cream developer. In volume 30., I felt like volume: 30 was probably the best idea, because of how dark the hair is. 20 is like not strong enough. 40 is a little bit too strong, except for, like 30, was like that good little in between. Obviously, that's all I have, but I'm so excited to do this. I feel like I'll do a good job. Like I said I already have experienced, sewing and doing a sewing machine and I've done sewing for my mom before I feel like. I would really eat this up. I don't know I don't know I feel like I would eat we'll see I'll see you guys tomorrow. Today is the day that I make my wig. Let'S get started. I put this like plastic bag all over the floor. Just to like cover it, because I'm probably gon na do everything in my room and I don't have to bring the tripod from my room to the bathroom back and forth. It'S too much work. So it's for protection. Okay, first thing, I'm gon na do is read. Sonar'S of the closure, so I have all my stuff to boost the knot. I have watched a couple of videos on how to make wigs some default going to reference. Those as I do this. No, I just I'm scared. I'Ve never used I've, never even like dyed. My hair by myself, like I've, dyed my hair twice. I did it black in like Middle School that don't really count. You know I mean this hair. My natural hair has never been dyed at all, I'm fearing! Okay. Let me stop being dramatic. Let me stop okay. Yeah, please stop being dramatic, but anyway I opened up my bowl and everything. Oh my gosh, a lot of videos said that I should do one scoop to one scoop. So that's what I did. Oh my gosh. This was so bad for you, it smelled so bad. I had to put on a mask, but anyway they said it should be toothpaste, consistency which that is given toothpaste, consistency, so I went to it y'all I was so scared. I did not want the weeds to seep through and dye The Roots, even though I was gon na bleach the hair anyway, but still, I think I let it sit for about 20 to 30 minutes. So now I'm getting the head out, I'm putting it together. Yo this head was big. I said no way. My head is really 24 inches like this, but I just untwisted the little thing there and then Twisted it up to sit on this little chair, as y'all saw yesterday here in the wig caps. I got. I got the extra large size. I still got the wig caps and I put it on the head. Then I took some of the t-pins and pinned the cap into place. It smells so bad in here. Oh okay, I set my alarm for 2 20. So when that rings, I'm gon na go tuck on the hair and check. If the knots are like nicely bleached, I might just wash it anyway. In the meantime, I guess I could start on sewing the West together just to like save some time, so I'm gon na get my slime reviews. So here's my sewing machine. It'S a Singer sewing machine. A lot of people said that you should use nylon thread, but this is all I have so I'm gon na just use this. So again, here is another look at the hair. It is so nice and silky, but I took the first track. Put it together and started sewing. Of course you want to back stitch like always, and I sewed all the way down. Okay, my line just rings. I'M gon na finish sewing this and then I'm going to go wash the closure and come back and show you guys what it looks like. So here are the knots they are not that bleached. I definitely should have left it on for longer, but at least it didn't bleach The Roots. So I think I'm fine with this this one by way faster than I thought it was gon na. Be I'm surprised, am I kind of good at this? I don't know. I don't know so for the lines we're gon na just use this white eyeliner pencil, I'm not going to start right here at the band. I'M gon na start like right above it just a bit and then draw straight across. Oh my gosh, it's uneven! Oh crap! Okay, wait: wait. The pencil is already like dull, so I'm gon na try and get a Sharpie. I don't have the silver metallic Sharpie. I have a gold one, so I'm gon na go for the gold one. That'S right! Girl! You better go for the gold! Miss Olympian anyway, I got my gold Sharpie and did the lines it was not straight. Listen, there's a reason why I don't draw no more so I'm not Picasso just not realizing. I should probably sew the closure on subway cap already, so I'm gon na do that and then I'm gon na continue drawing the lines guys. This is already such a freaking mess um. My lines are like not straight at all, but it's fine. So when positioning the closure, I made sure to pull it down a little bit so that it's covering the band. Then I took my t-pins and placed it on very very tightly, so I'm going to take my J pins and then the thread that came with the wig head and start sewing it together. Hopefully you can kind of see what I'm doing to see how to sew. I forgot what kind of stitch this is called, I'm so sorry, but they say it in the other videos that I watched so I'll link those down below for you guys to check those videos out too the lesson after this video please - and thank you, okay, guys. I finished drawing my lines, not the straightest, but it's better than nothing. Also, I finished sewing down the closure so yeah. I think it's time to start sewing also. You want to make sure to cut off this little part of the wig cap on the inside and cut it as close to the closure, as you possibly can, without cutting the closure, so be careful, but once you cut that little part off, it should look like This on the inside and then you're ready to sew on the wefts. So I took the wig cap and positioned the lines underneath the presser foot and then place the weft on top and started sewing again. You want to back stitch just to make sure that it stays nice and straight then take your time to slowly sew the wefts down on the line. It'S very, very important that you make sure that the weft is on the line and the lines are your guides. You want to make sure you follow the guide, so once I finish sewing that line, I just cut up the thread and then cut off the end of the hair and started on the other line. You can just fold it over and start sewing again, but I prefer to just cut it to make sure that it lays flat. So I had finished sewing the two wefts, so I opened up the new package. I think I doubled this one and then the other one that I had. I just sewed that one on singly, and also you want to make sure that you're using a zigzag Stitch as you are sewing the wefts together and also sewing the wefts onto the wig cap, so yeah once I had sewn that last weft together, I started sewing On the sewing machine, it started a little bit harder. The closer I got to the closure, but you kind of got to work with it and also make sure that you're keeping the wig cap straight. You don't want any bunching or anything like that. That really messes up the look of the wig foreign did to me. Yo. I love fish hooks, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! So here I am at the top, as you can see, there's a big old Gap. I don't know how that happened, but probably because my lines are not straight so make sure your lines are very nice and even but everyone in the videos I watched, said to show the very last Track by hand. That'S what I'm doing, and here you can see how big of a gap that is. I do not know how I missed that, but it's okay we fixed it. I just took little pieces of the leftover hair and just sewed it in there, and once I strained it, you couldn't see the Gap guys. I finished the wig. I know it doesn't look much right now, because it's not like laid or flat ironed or even dyed. Yet but oh my gosh, I can't believe I made a wig my I literally made a wig in it. I made a wig, that's what it looks like on the inside kind of bleaching knots and then each line that I sewed on the sewing machine. The hair is so pretty and silky look at that bruh. The closure is not laying down flat at all, so I'm definitely gon na have to flat iron. It like crazy, but I'm so excited I'm so excited anyway. That is it for this part of the video. I finished sewing my wig if you want to see how I dye it stay tuned for next week, Saturday, which will be the next video in this series next time on Joe cell's wig transformation. I kind of feel like I should start bleaching the closure first because it's darker, but I don't really care
