What people will come back to my channel? It'S a girl Lindsay, and I don't know how we do it's over here with Lance a football on a budget before I forget, don't forget to hit that subscribe button. Unlike this video. Thank you so today, I'm gon na be showing you how I made this crochet wig using straight Kanekalon hair. So today we're just going to be starting out by using a regular crochet. We cap from your local beauty supply store and then we're also going to be using some model model. Jumbo braid, Kanekalon hair also from your beauty supply store, and this is only just a dollar ninety-nine plus tax. Just some regular. You know Kanekalon hair, all right and then we'll also be using our crochet hook and, of course, our mannequin head, alright guys. So we're just going to start by taking our first puck of all kind of girl on here, open it in top and then that's how the hair is gon na be looking. It'S not a pre stretched pack, but you can definitely use a pre stretched here. I probably would have even preferred using a pre stretched here for this look, but this is what I had and then I'm just going to use my scissors to cut that first pack in half you don't have to do this step, but I wasn't you know going For an extremely long look so then I just take just up you somebody here, just you know not too thick, not too thin, and then I'm just going to start at a bottom right above the elastic band. I'M going to use my crochet hook, push it through. One of the holes then put the hair through the loop close the loop and pull it through. Then I'm going to remove my needle through stay here. Then I'm going to take some hair from the opposite end and pull it through the loop then pull it tightly. Not there and that's it now, if you want a double knot that you can would honestly i'ma, just also lazy, sir, just only knotted it once alright. So again, we're just going to push it push that crochet needle through one of the holes put the hair through the loop, pull it through then you're just going to twist the hair a little bit then grab some hair in the opposite. End pull it through the loop and just stretch the hair to create that nuts, and then there we go. The hair is good to go now. There'S honestly, this was just such a freehand style. I kinda just went oppositely with loops all over a place. Then I was like - maybe I should do it this in some kind of order, so I started going our own, the you know the shape. What I heard and I kind of moved towards the front, because I kind of go in for like a kind of looped fashion, so a semi doing here is I'm just kind of crocheting they here all the way around to the front. This is how far I've gotten with just one pack of the Kanekalon hair so far, alright, so what I'm, showing you know, is the direction. That'S I'm going I'm just going to be going filling in that gap at the front and going across her face. Basically, because for this look I wanted a bang, so I'm just going to start going all the way around to the front, and I am still going above the elastic band. I did not crash above the elastic band because I'm kind of going to be using the elastic band kind of as, like you know, so, to secure the wig unto my head. I didn't use any weak clips or pins for this. Look because trust me, this wig is pretty tight. Whoo people is he on. When I got to this part, neither tell no lie. I was so tired. I was like listen. I don't know if I can finish this. You know it was like. I was almost done, but when you're out you know any of that leads a piece just still won't finish. You notice, I have forgot, grab my you know this am sitting at this part. It'S always in my back. Then I hurt me anyway. So I'm going on. I think this was my third pack of hair and I'm just going to do the same thing and cut it in half, but guys I got ta know like I had to sit down. It'S like you know any abrading in here, and a person just saw a little bit left and, in a part, that's small section into five more I'm like. Why am i torturing myself so I push through and I'm just going on unfinished in its upper this. This mannequin head head, cuz boy. I was tired, I thought oh never get to this part of our head, so guys I've basically been doing the same thing. Throat is, you know entire tutorial. It is so repetitive. It'S the same method. If you are familiar with how I usually crochet, you know, it's just the same pulling it through the loop can its onto the crochet needle. Then you know pulling it through and just looping the hair. It is so repetitive. It'S the same thing, that's why I'm I had to speed up this part cuz. You know you can't just watch how I do it slow it down, go back through, but trust me. It is so simple. It'S the same thing I owe, and so at this point I'm just trying my best to fill in the gaps as much as possible at the top of her head and then what I did. I went in like our own fashion, so I kind of just did it all the way. Remember how I showed you how our wings are on the band, so I kind of just followed that spiral spiral pattern all the way until I'm at the top of her head, and I can't see any just crushing in a circular motion and filling in the gaps. If you get what I'm saying you can also just kind of like watch my motion, so I'm doing it and in Luke he kind of just doing it haphazardly, because I was just getting lazy. But um don't be like me and just try to do this as orderly as possible. It'S kind of like you know when you know you're making like a bang lok any kind of going in that circular fashion, mumbai, i'm trying to achieve a bang, so i made sure i just going around her head. Oh my gosh, I probably should I use like I like a drawing and show you guys what I mean, as I probably can show you better than I can tell you. So you know it's basically it's my tender request. My chariot get the doors off me and take that road. It have been so now we're finished crocheting and I used about 4 packs of the Kanekalon here, alright guys. So now that I use my white paddle brush to just detangle the hair, I'm just going to go ahead and cut just cut off those. You know stringy ends, and this is why people, I am NOT a I'm, not professional quota, I'm just trying to cut off those stringy ends, and I know it doesn't look even I know, but I did go back in off-camera and just you know cuts it just Make it a little bit more? Even so, please don't but uh no matter come for me in the comments. I know it's not even I did go back in and make sure it's even, but this is just me showing it just cut off the string. It ends and it can just make it as short as you want, or if you want to keep it long and string it, and you know that's cool, to look at my face. Look look how I'm concentrating you know. Let me say: do you think it's what I make it? Sometimes you know you would never know. As I know it's still uneven, but I promise you I did go back in and I did trim up some more off the ends off camera. So now I'm just separating their hair just trying to get that bang section outside away. I'M just trying to you know gauge, as I'm separating your whole long. I want this bang, you know so I'm just as I'm you know, gets in the excess hair outside away. That'S just that's the front of our face by the way guys the name of my mannequin head is Cynthia. Yes, I do name my mannequin head. It is not the points back to the tutorial, so I'm just detangling in here and going in with my scissors and it's always good anytime. You are cutting to start longer and work. Your way up, because I mean you can always hurt the mistakes. When you cut longer come on knowledge right, so I kind of just started out with just a haphazard cutting straight across and I'm this listen guys. Remember that this is a curly look, so you don't have to go to sure with the bang, because remember when hair is curled, it is going to shrink and get shirts and you don't want to end up looking like I'll insert a picture here. So I'm just going straight across haphazardly with this bang and I'm trying to keep in mind that hair will shrink. But, honestly, you know looking back, I would have kept the ban longer than I ended up using my eye breeze and started thinning out of bang. She is professional, you know: okay, not really alright. So then I'm just going to go ahead and get started flex. Your rod in the hair I'll just use some regular medium sized flexi rods. I got from my beauty supply store, then so I'm just gon na section. After here and start flexi rod in from the back all right so then know what I did is just start off by grabbing a small section of the hair and then I'm going to detangle it but guys outside detangle aids. I realized that and her hair was still a bit stringy, so I did go ahead and just cut the end of the hair. I told you guys just to you know, give it that you know lace, stringy, look and then I just winds in uncut rolled it onto the flexi rod. Now, if you're wondering what a kick is that under my mannequin head is Russell suck, I used rose to keep it stable because the mannequin head hole was way too small, so just to prevent it from rolling all over the place. So then I, when I finished flicks right in here, I just went ahead and dipped it in some hot water, okay guys. So this is the next day and that's the braid pattern already washed my hair and did my LOC method. You know and moisturize my hair. So I'm just going to go ahead and grab this. We cap a black wig cap, that's all sorta from my local beauty, supply store and I'm using this black wig cap just to protect my hair and also found that it helped to just kind of disguise any gaps that I may have had in the crochet wig And then I'm just going to put the crochet crochet the crochet wig on to my head and then I'm going so unravel the. As I said, this was the next day and I did like they here: air dry for boats a day. You can leave it for maybe a deer to to air dry and yes, salad, mal. You know manicure net outside and give it that fresh Sun right air dry, so I'm just unrolling the flexi rods that we did. I think I said that's already alright, so now that we under the flexi rods, I'm just going to go back in and start separating the curls. You know fixing the bang okay, my bang shrink up guys. That is why I said to probably cut longer, because they here will shrink okay, but we did adjust that as always, we don't panic. We are just. I need to move forward, so I'm just separating the curls and then I'm gon na just fluff all day here. By the way, guys, you can achieve a similar look using the Jamaican bounce crusher here I'll leave a link below so you can purchase that here as well as some links to some looks of done using that here. If you don't want to go through the process of flicks, rodding and weights in, unlike using the conical on here, then you'll get a similar look, maybe a bit more voluminous, but you can you can rock it too all right people here we have the finished. Look. I did go back in and I grabbed some longer pieces from in the you know. We'Re vine here and just hope to you know hope to bring it in between the band just to help bring out. You know cause a bang did shrink, so it was just to add some extra body to the band. Alright, so hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you. So much guys for watching.
