How To: Make A Lace Closure Wig On A Sewing Machine, Measure Ventilated Wig Cap, Remove Plastic

Hey everyone welcome to my channel, so I'm going to be making a 5x5 lace closure wig using a 5 by 5 HD lace, closure and three Brazilian 22 inch body wave bundles from my hair collection. I am going to start by bleaching the knots on my closure and I'm going to be using Wella bleach and, of course, Wella 30 volume developer. So I'm going to mix the developer and the bleach just enough to make it a little thick so that it doesn't fall off of my brush and then I'm just gon na go ahead and apply it to my closure lightly, pressing it through the lace. Now, if it's not all the way through, I just go ahead and check and see how far it is, and then I will go back and press it through a little bit more. If I feel like it's not covering the knots completely now, while my knots are bleaching, I'm gon na go ahead and start with my outline for my wig cap. I am gon na make the lines on my ventilated, wig cap, with either a permanent gray or white marker or a crayon which is washable, so it's fine and then on the plastic part, I'm gon na go ahead and use a black permanent marker. That way, my blinds are more visible and it's easier for me to see when I am sewing each track using my sewing machine. So I'm going to take these lines all the way up until I get to the top, where I outlined my five by five lace, closure and then I'll move on to the sewing machine. So once that's complete, I go ahead and take my wig cap off of my mannequin head and I will line up the first track of my 22 inch bundle with the first line that I created on my wig cap and once I line those up, I do Double stitching going forward and backward after every beginning and every end of each track, so that will let it be more secure. So then you know my clients: don't have any issues with it unraveling or getting loose, or anything like that. So I'm gon na go ahead and sew that on and then I will continue all the way up until I get to where my lace closure is supposed to be, and then I will hand stitch that once I get to that point. Okay, so I do have a few more tracks to go, but I just want to show you what the inside of the wig cap looks like, and this is how it looks so far, so I'm gon na go ahead and sew on my closure, and this is The way it looks and, of course, I'm going to cut off the excess cap from underneath the lace which is unnecessary. You don't need it, so I'm going to cut that off and then I'm going to continue on in removing the plastic off of the cap. Okay, so at this point you can definitely add on any of your wig bands or combs or clips that you need to around your wig to get it more secure for you. I'M gon na go ahead and blow-dry this wig and I'm going to continue on to tweezing the hairline of this lace closure just to make it more natural. I don't want any straight lines or any super thick hair lines or anything like that. So I'm gon na go ahead and make this as natural as possible. So then, after all of that, I'm gon na go ahead and style. This wig, I just want some real, distinctive ways in the hair, so I don't want really spiral curls. I will go ahead and curl this entire wig and then I will come back with me doing my finish up of my styling okay. So this is the finished product of the wig. I'M just gon na go ahead and run my fingers through it and use a wide tooth comb just to loosen up some of those curls a little bit. She is 22 inches long. She has three bundles and a five by five lace closure, and this is the final look, so I thank you guys so much for watching my video.
