Lace Closure Wig Using Braids/ Crochet Wig Using Braid/ How To Make A Wig Using Braids

Hola, what's up welcome back to my channel if you're new, here haribusana my name is shiko karaoke and on today's video i feel excited, i feel nervous at the same time, because today's video is a diy, it's not something. I'Ve tried before so we are going on this adventure together. So what i'm trying to do here is i'm trying to make a wig a wig with a closure at the front using braids. I'Ve not done this before uh the wig that inspired me. I don't even have a photo of that, but i think i'm ready for an adventure, i'm ready to see how this goes and i have got my tools of trade with me. I have got a wig cap, so this is where the closure is going to be and i'm doing it all braids like i have no closure but somewhere. So i'm just gon na do my own closure here and i got two braids. This is the braid we're gon na be using the tiara super mesh by darling. The reason i love it is its texture feels and looks so like natural kinky, hair uh. It looks like this guys. You see this. This is like natural, pink hair and it's in color 33, so yeah. This is going to be our braid. Okay. Alright, this is gon na, be our wig fingers crossed because i think i'm crazy, but here we go. This is super mesh yeah bridge by darling. Color number 33 and i've got two of those two two braids. I got them, but one is so long. So i think i'm thinking i'm just gon na divide it into two, because this is super long. Its length is, i think, almost kinda like expression. So it's really long. It goes all the way. The other thing i've got is i'm going to be using this crochet needle? That is a tiny, tiny crochet needle. So i think let's go so. I started with doing the closure and this was very tricky, because this is not something i've done before, so i was looking up tutorials and doing at the same time. At this point, i don't think i was ready to be filming as i do it, because it was kind of messy i'm telling you trying to pass hair through these tiny holes without rupturing the closure. Oh god, it was such a task, so i was not able to film doing this closure, but if i get to do another video where i do up close, i'm sure at that point i'll be better i'll have learned. So at this point i'll, not film. The closure bit, but after i was done this is how it looked like i was done with the closure and during the learning process. I learned that using this, the plastic dummy head is challenging. You cannot do a closure or you cannot do a wig using that that thing, because you see it's not a shape of a head and getting to to crochet the way you should is so difficult due to the spaces, and all of that, so you need something That closely feels like a human head for the fullness, so this is how my closure came out, not the knee test, because i was still an amateur, but i'm sure if i do things again now, i am way way better so and now after the closure. I just now go into the rest of the hair, where i will crochet from behind and the other thing i noticed with when you're making a wig these dummy heads they are small, they are not the size of an actual human head, so you need to be Very careful make sure you stretch out your wig cap all the way, even to the face and pin it down to make sure that it does not shrink and you find that you make a smaller wig than your head yeah. So that's it for the tips i found uh while learning, because this one was a learning process and um. I am just hoping at this point. I was just hoping this works. This actually works and i actually come up with something and yeah. Let'S see now so this is how far i've come now and from now on, i want to just show you guys how i do it crocheting. The back is so easy, easy peasy, because you just go in with about three three spaces and make sure you don't stretch out the wig cap so much because in that case, as i said before, it will shrink and it will be small for your head. So after you cut your bread into two, you realize that that straight edge. This is how you sort that one out you make it um you kind of fluff it out, just pull it and then go in with your comb so that at uh to towards the what can? What do you call that, towards the end, your hair does not have flat edges? It looks like uh, it has that natural look and finish of hair. You don't want blunty blank, looking kinky a blunt looking kinky wig that is not natural, so fluff it out. Then comb it and now just go in doing the crochet crochet work all the way to the top. The other thing i'd advise is get a wig cap with um, with some consistency in terms of how it looks you will notice mine at the top there. It was a little bit different. The pattern of the holes was different, which was a bit of a challenge, but i was able to work it through so next time i'll get a wig cap that is consistently the same all holes and spaces to put hair, and this is how our week looks Done, oh god, at this point i was so proud of myself. I feel so proud, i'm so proud of myself. I can't believe i did test and it's beautiful and i think you can absolutely leave it at that point, but i think i'm extra, i think i'm extra i i just felt like. Maybe i can try, give it some curls. So what i did is um braided. It into my tutors and then tried to put it in hot water to give it curls, and this is how it looks. Braided uh, i just did my twitter on all of the wig, and then i put it in this bucket with hot water and a few drops of conditioner just so that it doesn't tangle, and i gave it time to sit in. There then dried it and and braided it, and after that it was done, our wig was ready to wear uh. So, finally, we are done with doing the wig and i have it here with me. I have just trimmed up trimmed the ends a little bit and cut off the excess, uh lace at the front and um. We want to wear this so a few things i learned along the way. A crochet tweak can be quite tricky because every time you crochet the hair through the wig cap and then tighten it, you snatch some space. So you need to be very careful not to stretch out the wig cap so much and leave it small for your own head and then for the closure beat uh for this one, i'm telling you my patience was tested like really tested and um. It is not easy. Hats are for everyone who does this for a living. It is so much work because you have to get in here through all of these holes individually, and it was hell a lot of work. I i don't know, i don't know what gon na be doing this at some point. I almost gave up, but i feel like if you're passionate, the secret is um, don't rush, it don't rush it so uh the cars didn't hold up much, but i love how they just kind of start out at the bottom and then it flares up towards the End, i think i love this look. I was hoping it would be curlier, but well uh. We will work with what we have. It is okay, so no more talking. I think it's time to get this big on and we see how we did oh and before i get it on for the closure. I started um ventilating using this crochet needle and turns out. This is still big, like this hook is still so big to pass hair through this pieces. It is still so big, so i had to get a ventilating needle this and if you'd want to see how i did it like bit by bit process, i think just let me know i can do a short video on that specifically because it's quite a lot Of work i learned from other youtubers and i think if you want me to teach you it is all right. I can do a short video so enough of talking. Let'S get this baby on and we see how that goes. Whoa yep! So there is our braided wig, like our crochet braid wig uh. I did get photos to show you what was inspiring me, but i think the inspiration was just something afro-like, afro-natural, looking and kind of full. This is a little bit full. It is full if you don't like it as full as mine. All you can do is make sure you leave out more spaces during the crocheting process, leave out a lot of more space inside there, and i love how this looks on me. I love love, love it i feel, like i didn't waste my time i feel like i'll, be wearing it to places i will find out where, but it is a piece that i love. I love love, love, love, love and the color. The color is balm, so yeah, that's it for today's video. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you loved it.
