I know some of the titles may not make sense, but trust me, the content will be relevant. Certain keywords helps my videos rank high in the youtube algorithm. I'M pretty much uploading content for free, i'm not kidding. I will show you my numbers in another video dedicated to the topic. I don't mind providing free content, because i love what i do. I love talking about hair, i'm very passionate about hair, but i would like to make some upgrades love to upgrade my camera. My lighting, my editing software, my computer, all channel related items. I am thinking about going full time for 2021 and i know that's really where, like you wait, 10 years to decide, you want to go full time on youtube, but just trying something new. You know, let's see how it goes, but it it never happened at this rate. Okay at the cpm that youtube is currently giving me. It will never happen again. Ignore the titles just know that the content will be relevant. I appreciate your cooperation and understanding and yeah. So how to save money? How to save money? You spend less okay now, on with the video, if you haven't watched part one two or three then you're going to be scratching your head throughout this entire video. I'Ve covered so much information in parts. One two and three that i unfortunately will not be addressing questions that have already been covered in parts one two and three: i don't wan na bore my audience by answering the same questions over and over again. So please check out part one through three. If you haven't already, i appreciate it and thanks a bunch i'm going to try my best to explain what i'm doing here, because i don't know it's hard to explain something that i'm pretty much. You know making up as i go. But what i'm trying to accomplish by twisting and looping i'm trying to interlock all strands to prevent hair from slipping out? Basically, that's all it is from the beginning. I didn't do a good job, aligning the hair and securing the hair prior to sewing the hair. That'S why you see little random pieces sticking out. The goal is to properly align the hair first, so when it's twisted and looped hair remains securely locked in that's the whole point of it. All. Those random strands sticking out have a greater chance of slipping out. That'S why it's so important to make sure that each strand is aligned, even if you have to cut it all the way down and risk losing inches i'd rather lose inches than loose strands. I prefer to use transparent thread to clear thread. It has a lot more give than regular thread, and weave thread is just way too thick sewing each piece to make sure it doesn't become unraveled process of binding. The hair is simple: just keep interlocking hair until you're, satisfied with the length and thickness. I can make the wefts as thick as i want, or i can make them as thin as i want. I can just keep piling on as much hair as i want, or as less as i want that's the beauty of creating your own hair. Now this will be my very first weft for my wig. It will be at the very bottom, we'll all agree that it's not the most aesthetically pleasing the construction is not the prettiest and you know can't help that. But the main goal was to make sure the hair was free-flowing and moving also making sure the hair doesn't shut out. So you won't even see the tracks. Each track will overlap the previous one, so you will never see the construction of the weft. The weft is not the greatest you can tell was you know diy? I enjoy every step of this process. I really do. I really do view it as working on a hobby when i construct the wig, i feel very relaxed. It'S really more, like a stress reliever to me, it's actually like a hobby. You have a hobby that you enjoy. That'S how i view working on my on my wig, i'm not sitting inside some sweatshop feverishly working around the clock, 24 hours a day non-stop working on a wig like some of you guys assume. That is absolutely not the case. I went up to a year not working on a wig, so if time permits i'll work on the wig, if time does not permit, i will not work on the wig. I work on it when i have time just like a hobby, you work on it. When you have time, i think where a lot of you guys are misunderstanding. I'Ve been collecting my shed hair for seven years, but i've only been working on the wig on and off since 2018 collecting my shed hair for seven years working on the wig on and off since 2018.. You know i have a very colorful life outside of working on the wig trust me, i'm not sitting at home every day working on his wigs, you

Boemo Mapetla: You've always been ahead of the curve. This must drive you insane in your real life also. Just know that it helps some of us to have pioneers like you, doing what others may initially perceive as strange. As the saying goes "keep watering that tree even though you may not benefit from its awesome shade." ❤️❤️
BBHair1: Can't wait to see the finished result.
Em Noir: I’m a cosmetologist that does a lot of extensions, and I am also getting into extension making, I LOVE what your doing, you should look Into hand tied wetting hair construction! Your wefts will be a lot neater and, less products, all you need is your raw air and 3 pieces of thread and a chair or something! No glue or tape! How ever you absolutely can if you want to seal the weft, I recommend italian keratin which is what mosy keratin extensions use! i hope to help make your process easier!!
Shannon Young: I'm currently collecting my shed hair and I didn't know how to make a weft, so this video is amazing as no one I have found shows this! THANK YOU!!

QueenLee II: This is amazing!!! Wow!! 7 years of collecting she'd hair!! Question... When you get she'd hair from the weft, do you simply add it back to your she'd hair collection? Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Antoinette Mayers: Is there an advantage to this method over the one you showed in part 4 or are you just experimenting with different techniques? On a visual front, I prefer the method you showed in the previous video. The wefts were so full & had great movement!
Zahra Lamin: Love your content! I have started saving my shed hair because of you I am wondering though I have neck length hair and my hair is 4c/4b so how do I single them out for this when it’s all tangled up in a ball?
Katrina: A sewing machine might make the wefts more stream line.
Natural E: I wish I had the patience to do this. This is a great idea. I’m excited to see the finished results.

Colette acw: This is genius to me I would have thought of doing something like this I'm exited to see the end result
Tazbre gaming: Your hair is PERFECT OMG girl please keep providing us with content like this you’re absolutely stunning .
Brandy Yolidio: The patience involved, have mercy I could not but looks great. The brushing is extremely delicate, something else I don't do correctly. A lot of strands must come out at once to make a wig because harvested hair gets dull fast since it receives absolutely no nourishment from the scalp.
B!LT Podcast: Do you have somewhere i can send u something?(money) Your the ONLY youtuber i stan and your tips have really helped my hair growth. Pay pal? Patreon? Cashapp?
Maureen B: TY, I've been saving my shed hair for years with something like this in mind. Blessings ✨✨
BratDollYasmine: This series is so amazing keep up the good work
makeda ahmirh fareed: ...im loving the process, and i hope im not jumping too far ahead. But what’s the difference in the looped/sewn wefts vs the flat glued/ heat bonded wefts you did in the other video? Was it just trial and error or is there a specific purpose? Like placement on the wig or using the tracks for the wig vs making clip-in tracks? You’ve really inspired me Sis! Im gonna start saving hair to make some mini clips-in to start with...i’ll graduate up to full clip-in sections and a half wig later on down the line.
Soul Bey: The person who made that last comment you shared on this video is a haterrrrr lol. Some ppl just can’t give props where due. This is super cool . And your hair is beautiful...
The Real Jeekai Wright Seabrook: Great job thank you for the tutorial video.! Stay blessed.
thiccpotatoes: This is soo cool! I can't wait to see the final!

S P: This is talent. I love it!!
kidablue: I want to thank you for being transparent with this idea that we can share in.
Leah R.: I am loving this series :)
BiellasPointofView: That’s awesome! Honestly I wonder where wig hair comes from sometimes. I feel like part of it got taken from dead people in India somewhere.
Brianna Cee: Just started saving some hair for my own weft today so excited
Shaniyah lanaé: To make it prettier i would recommend after super gluing use you translucent thread and see across the pieces of hair over and over until the weft is thick enough. (Just and opinion)
marquita83: very nice sis!! and creative!!! and i have been thinking about full time too because i feel im not giving my all into it i try to, keep it up girl you are amazing!!
Jai Harris: She gives me the energy of someone you’d NEVER want to piss off lol she seems like she would get ANYONE together realllll quick And I love it
HolisticSituations: I’m really interested to see how long the wig will last
Adenike Adekunle: OmG!!! Another video i have literally been waiting for this. Cant wait to see the end result
CC Ruiz: Simply AMAZING!
Mydeah Shaw: You should use hair wax beads … nail glues has a lot of chemicals that’s not good for your hair and scalp which can lead to hair loss it’s a good idea but there are also simpler ways to weft hair
Zee: 0:37 got me shook lmao! This wig is gonna be amazing!
Pamela Seeley: I been had this since I was 15 it never bother me I guess it never stop anything I just would go by my wigs and be on my way ...God bless
kedanpie4409: I love your intro.....how to save money? You spend less. Simple!
Tasha Rider: Amazing work! Congratulations
Mrs.Nicecamera: This may be off topic but, how often do you clarify your hair and what do you use the other times?
BlackGirlLovesAnime6: You probably just started a trend. Just so yall wanderers kno, you've seen it here first lol give credit where its due
Mini: Link your PayPal boo so we could tip you!!!!
Aur ora: Does anyone know how long she's been collecting all that hair? Thank you!
MsNaturale Michelle: Wow!!! You are into something.Best thing I have seen in 2020!!
solarLola: Interesting but looks like a lot of work though for my 4b hair
Mai: "How to save money? .... You spend less" dead ❤️
lisajohnson: You really are an underrated genius!
brit Plant based: I am gonna start this with my daughter's hair
Faith Williams: This is actually genius.
baba: 0:35 I love this part.
Kee Kee: Listen I have never worn a wig, but If thought about this would be something I may do..tfs SWRH
Yanique West: Technically this IS a money saving video haha
ro joy: If you think about it if the hair on the wigs we buy is human then it has to start from somewhere this is just another take on wig making.
Nickie Rasberry: I love the blue glitter polish. Very pretty
Natalie Nsahlai: In part 4 you just glued the strands instead of sewing them first like you did here. I'm just curious, why the different methods?
R Oki: T have you considered a posting your cash app or paypal??? Of so you could get the money you need for your channel upgrade. I know you have to give 40% of you earnings to YT of you go live and get superchats but if you post one of the 2 mentioned above you could get all you need very quickly l would love to contribute. Also you could do paetron.
Rose Jackson: Amazing!
Rainne T: I am watching you do this and I am wanting to know what is the black color you used after the tape?
MIXED RAPUNZELS: Phenomenal!!
gerda vandersan: A hobby?? This is Art .
Brandon G: Still shooting my shot in 2020...... You looking real good Sista!!!!!! Let's talk
Hubert Hopscotch: I guess that’s one way to do it…… I don’t hate it, I feel like it would have been way easier to use a sewing machine than trying to hand see them together. This does give it a lot of movement though youre right about that, I’d probably use them on the center because the base is so reflective
g. pearson: I posted this under one of your other videos I subbed to you 10 years ago I’ve been searching for your videos for years Then this week YouTube recommended your video So YouTube maybe holding back some of your subbies (idk if I’m explaining it correctly but I’ve heard YouTubers complain about not getting all their subbies) Thank you for always sharing
Taylor Carter: How long did this take to get this much hair??
ro joy: I love your videos i hit the like button everytime
Esther: Laughs in 4c Afro This idea is unique and your hair is very healthy, how did you manage to keep it healthy Acer collecting it over the years ?
Nicole Hernandez: Sis said, Youtube need to pay me. I’m here for It. Lol It’s the honesty for me, I’m going to subscribe.
Ilovesesshomaru sama: This is revolutionary. Instead of buying people’s hair from India, we use our own hair to add volume or make wigs. Women in India are being attacked for their hair, and we have our own beautiful locks so why not use it. Is there a Patreon or something for donating? I’d gladly donate for more content.
Robin Ferrell: You so brilliant
Yacky Snacky: Such pretty nails.
Abigail Amoah: This is amazing
Aisha George: I WISH I had the patience for this
Deja Gibbs: This is great but this would only be great if your natural hair is long and acts like relaxed hair when straightened .
UD on YT: You could sell an online e-course for $100 per person on how to do this in more detail
Daniel Lloyd: Girl get you a sewing machine and stitch this hair properly and this will be banging
natalie: this is so cool. are u gonna sell it? i cant really see a point in wearing a wig that looks exactly like ur natural hair (bc it is ur hair)
Latesha Renee: This is next level creative
Love Jones: What color nail polish are you wearing in this video? The holographic rose gold one (not blue)
