How To Make A Lace Frontal Wig For Beginners! Ft. Longqi Hair | Coco Chinelo

Girl, okay, hey guys! Welcome back to my channel today's video is gon na, be a highly requested one and it's gon na, be how I make my frontal wig. So if you want to learn how I make my frontal legs just continue watching this video, it's so you're gon na need a wig stand and you're. Also gon na need a wig head. This is a foam one that I got from the B. Suffice tour and I also use a wig Cup. I use it from this brand in extra-large because I have a really big head. So I put the wig cap on the head and I make sure that, like the lines through the middle of the way cap align with the center of the head, I'm not sure if you guys can understand what I'm saying but like just make sure it aligns. Okay, I take my frontal and I put it on the head, as you can tell the is already customized I'll get into that later anyway. Just make sure that you bring the frontal a bit down, I'd say like an inch or maybe more. I think people do this too, that the frontal can actually fit on your head. Anyway, I brushed all the hair forward and I tie it with my elastic band that I have in my wrist then. After that, I take the sides and I pin them down and I make sure they're as straight as possible, because I don't want any bumps. And after I do that, I take a curved needle, and I also take some thread and I thread the needle I sucked at this guy's like I. I can't throw a needle to save my life. It literally takes me so long anyway, so after that you're gon na have to start sewing the frontal onto the cap. So I make sure that the needle goes through the frontal and the way cap and when I pull it down, I make sure that the needle is in between both of the little pieces of thread, as you can see that I'm doing then. After that, I pull it all the way down and I felt like all the way down, but not too down, because you want there to be like a little piece of string left. Okay, so cuz with those little strings, you're gon na tie it you kind of tie it as if, like the first step of tying your shoes kind of when you tie your shoes that first step yeah, you do that. Basically, you take those two strings. You cross them together, you put one under the other, then you tie, then I cut off the excess string and after that I sparked the actual sewing process. Sewing is really easy. I'Ve known how to sew so that was in like fourth grade, but for this just gon na want to make sure that the needle goes through the wig cap and the Front's hold. Then you pull and you basically the same thing. I start from the bottom. I make sure that the needle goes to the wig cap first then it has to go through the frontal. Then I pull and that's basically the process I use to so this entire thing. It'S so easy, but it takes a lot of time. Oh and if you're interested in this hair, it is the Brazilian waterway from lanky calm, not really comment actually on Aliexpress, so I got 120 to 120 and 118 inch bundles yeah, I got 3 bundles and the frontal is 16 inches. I really can't give it a good, comprehensive review yet because I only had the hair for like a week, but so far so good like this is the first time that I've ever gotten some sort of hair. That'S like curly and nice because I've usually stick with straight hair. If you notice know me, you know, I love straight hair. I have this long straight unit from long key already. I love that way. Oh wow looks like we're already getting to the end of the frontal okay, so looks like here, I'm just going to so my last couple. Things like I have a couple more like spaces left, so it looks like I'm just showing the frontal down making sure it's nice and secure once you get to the end of wherever you're selling, whether it's like a frontal or a bundle. It'S really nothing card. All you really have to do is sew it down. All you really do is sew the last bit of whatever you're sewing left then, after that you take the excess string and you cut it. Then, after you cut it, you just tie it kind of like the first step is hang or she's, like I showed you after that, you're done with sewing your frontal. You can finally move on to the bundles yeah yeah, alright time to actually sew the bundles onto the wake up. So the first thing I do is, I put the needle through the frontal and the bundle, and I mean like the weft of the bundle, not under the bundle like I put it through the weft. Then, after that, I pinned the bundle to where I wanted to be, and for this one I double wefted it, because it was already cut I'll get into it later then, after. That is the same thing that I did with the frontal and that is pulling a needle through then cutting the excess. Then, with the remaining thread remaining remaining thread, I tie it together so that there's a knot so that once I'm sewing it, the so wouldn't like fall through and make the thing not secure. Then, after that I just continue sewing and when I sew bundles, I usually go through the bottom of the weft. I don't go through the weft. I only go through the weft when I'm actually starting it, but when I'm like in the middle of the sewing process, I go under the weft and I go through the wig cap and I feel like sometimes when people make their wigs. They forget to go through the wig cap and they only go under the weft but make sure you go under the weft and through the wig cap. Then after you go to the wakeup, you just pull and you repeat the entire process. So once you get to the end of the bundle, you are going to go through the weft of the hair and go through the way cap and go through the frontal and pull all the way. You do this so that it's really secure, because this is probably gon na, be like one of the most important parts, because if this is not secure, it's a little fall through and honey. You do not want that. Alright. So after that you cut the excess and you tie it. Then after you tie it, you cut the excess from there and then you are done girl. You can move on to the next one, oh you're, already in the next one. Okay! So for this one I do the fold-over method. I don't like to cut my West because that causes shedding and I do not like shedding so I usually just fold over. Then I pinned the places where I want the bundle to stay. Then I double wefted, because I have three bundles and sometimes, if I just single up the entire thing, I won't use all the bundles and I really like to use all the bundles, because I want my hair to be as full as possible. You know, especially with curly hair and like waterway, with something like this. It'S really important for the hair to be as full as possible and wow did. I just get off-topic. I just did great and after you double wefted you just so like, I literally showed you and this part just repeats itself like over and over and over and over again, and I'm pretty sure you guys already get the point of the whole sewing thing. So I'm not gon na explain it one more time, but if you think that I didn't explain it well, and hopefully a visual representation of what you're supposed to do is more helpful than me talking about it, because I am only a beginner. This literally a second -- wig, I've ever made ever well technically. Third, but more like second I'll get into that. You know I'll get into that right now. So alright, so I received this hair from wonky like two weeks ago and I made it into a wig off camera, and that was my fault because well it was actually good. I made it cuz, I messed up a lot, but I'm sorry I didn't mean to make it off camera. I just did because I wasn't really getting any like video suggestions on saying. Oh, should you should do a video on how you make your way? This wasn't really getting have that and yeah that's, so I just thought that you guys didn't want to see it, but you guys actually did so me messing up and having to start over actually ended up working on the long run anyway. So I got the hair. I customized the frontal and I over plucked one of the sides and when you have side parts with like your frontals, that's a no-no, because the side part is gon na, be really like exposed. Everyone'S gon na see this out of your head. So you want like the side of the frontal to be plucked really well, and I didn't really do that so oops, just one mistake huh. So when I was actually creating the wig, I single wefted the entire thing and that's a no-no too, because because I need the hair to look as full as possible, I remember when I made this wick the first time I only used two bundles out. Oh, my god, and I had three bundles so like the hair, was really looking thin and it was looking like weird and disgusting, and I was like, oh my god, I just messed up this whole wick. I'M gon na have to like recreate this wig and I don't want to like have to restart all what I just did you know, and so I was like you know what we're not gon na restart it instead of restarting the entire wig, let's just find gaps In the wig and just and just so, the third bundle in between those little gaps in the wig, but in order to do that, you're gon na have to cut the bundles because the gaps in the wig were in all different places. So I was like you know what I almost cut: the third bundle and I'll insert it in these little gaps and everything's gon na be fine, everything's gon na be a-okay. So that's what I did and I ended up using all three bundles, thank the Lord. So when I finish making the wig, I try it on and I couldn't fit it on my head. You know why, because it was too small, like I couldn't even get the frontal all the way to my forehead. That'S how bad it was, and it was just so small. It was gon na be the biggest headache and I was like oh no. I cannot like. I cannot go like this like what it's causing this problem, so I think I think I think long and hard and almost like, oh my god, I used a mesh cap instead of a spandex cap. Oh my gosh and I was like oh, I should never use actually. Never ever ever. You do that. So now, I'm never ever gon na use a spandex. You know now, I'm never ever gon na use a mesh cap. Ever again, I only use spandex caps and the spandex caps that I use have to be extra large. That'S why I'm using the extra-large one in here and that's why the frontal was already customized and like cut and stuff, because I had already made this wig. So I take the entire wig apart and while I'm taking the wig apart, I go on the YouTube community post and I asked you guys Oh comment down below what video suggestions that I should do for a summer, because I have a lot more free time now. So I can even want more videos and the top one was how to make a friend's whole wig, and I was like you know what, since I'm taking it this way apart, the next time I put it together, I should film it and that's why I'm filming This video right now so if it wasn't for messing up the first time, this video would not be here all right. So after you're done constructing the wig, it's gon na look a little crazy, but that's okay, because I'm gon na watch the week later. But before you wash the wig, you have to fold the wig over and cut off the excess wig cap. This is probably my favorite part of making it awake because after you, this part, you are like really done with the wig, and it takes me a long time to make the wigs just letting you know. So this is how the wig looks after I cut the excess wig cap and it looks a little crazy. I know I know but we're gon na wash it Oh looks nice. So if you have straight hair, you do not have to do this step, but I have curly hair, so I'm gon na do this step and that is basically defining the curls. So I damp the hair with my spray bottle. I make sure it's not dripping wet, but it's like still wet. You know so I dump the hair then, after that I use my Hawaiian silky curl activator and I put that all over the hair and I love putting this product on because after the hair dries, it makes the curls look so nice, so poppin and look really Good like this, oh my god, it looks cute. I love it. The wick is ready. It'S done. Well, please thanks Mike
