Doll Wig Tutorial! Nylon Hair Diy Glue Wig Ooak

Hi coffee beans, how's it brewing today I'll be showing you how to make a gorgeous layered doll. Wig. With this technique, you could use multiple colors or one single color to create a wig out of artificial doll hair. Some of you may be familiar with Mo's Iquitos. Amazing yarn wigs I've used her technique to make a few yarn wigs myself, but my more recent dolls have been artificial doll hair instead of yarn. Now I'm addicted to the feeling of doll hair, but the rear ooting process takes forever. So why not combine Mo's, Iquitos yarn, wig method, with synthetic doll hair for this project I'll be using nylon doll, hair from the doll planet in pink floyd, --, Ziggy, Stardust and Espeon I'll put the entire materials list and links below to get started? I need to make the wig cap or the piece that the hair wefts will be glued on to I cut the toe off of my daughter sock. Isn'T this sock cute, it's the perfect thin stretchy fabric to fit over this doll's head. I stretched a piece of saran wrap over the doll's head to protect the vinyl from the glue. Then I stretch the sock over the head careful to smooth out all the wrinkles. I wrapped a rubber band around her neck to secure the sock. Then I took a small plastic hairband and placed it around the head near where the hair line should be. I felt for the eyes and ears and adjusted the rubber band where it seemed right. Then I used the crafters pick fabric glue, poured it all over the head and brushed it on with a paintbrush. I didn't mind ruining. I used crafters pick because it's white, but dries clear. So it's easy to tell if it's dry fabric glue is my favorite, but not for this task. You don't have to use fabric glue either. I'Ve used regular white glue in the past for my yarn wigs, but I wanted to have the option to boil wash this hair. If I wanted to sew waterproof fabric glue was the only option make sure you let the glue dry completely between each layer. I painted on four layers of glue paint on as many layers as you're patient enough to do, but enough that the wig cap is flexible enough to fit on and off the head and firm enough that it doesn't collapse on itself. Once it's finally dry, I remove the wig cap from the head, then using sharp hair scissors. I cut away the bottom of the sock just above the rubber band. If you need to you can easily and slowly trim away the excess, but be careful, you don't cut away too much it's a perfect fit. Now is the time to make the west's. I took some spare cardboard and wrapped it in aluminum foil. The easiest way to do this is to take a small portion of the hair and spread it gently onto the foil. I use some water in a spray bottle to gently dampen the hair to keep it from flying away and I brushed it out to try and keep it. Even then, I use the crafters pick fabric glue and apply two thin line on the edge of the hair. Then I brushed the glue out sort of pressing it down into the hair fibers to spread it out evenly. I let this dry completely before peeling it up and applying another thin layer of glue to the other side. Then, after it's dry, I cut the ROG of the glue off with sharp scissors. This creates the weft that will be glued on to the wig cap. Repeat this process with all of your hair, be as gentle and patient as you can. I accidentally rushed some of my wefts and lost a bit of hair in the process now to start gluing the weft on. I wanted my wig to have pink on the bottom blue in the middle and purple. On top, I used fabric tack for the West, because it's clear super sticky and dries fast. It'S my BFF! I found it was easiest to glue from the bottom up, so I glued a pink weft at the bottom and, as I got close to the ears and temple area I switched to blue, then I added purple at the top careful to leave space for the part And the part was the most difficult for me and I had to restart several times again, because I'm too impatient, I kept messing with it before it was fully dried. I lined up a purple left at the middle and glued it down in the opposite direction. To the other West, I let this dry for over an hour. I had to walk away and do something else around the house to stop myself from messing with it. Then I flipped it over and secured it with a clip flipping. It like this covers the glue and creates one side of the part. Then I lightly applied painters, tape onto that left to protect it from the glue and applied the other left in the same manner. I lined it up really carefully and glued it down in the opposite direction to the other weft for this one I pushed it as gently but firmly as I could toward the other left to create the tight part line. I don't want the wig cap to show in between the hair. Finally, I came back when it was dry and clipped the weft in the right direction to create the part, don't be fooled by my footage. The part took me a long time to perfect. I filled in some of the empty spots with smaller pieces of hair and I spread the wefts out with a toothpick and pinned them in place with more bobby pins and clips to let it dry in the right spot, with all the weft glued into place and Dry, I used a low temp flat iron to set the part and tame the crazy flyaways make sure you test a small piece of synthetic doll hair before you apply the heat, it's entirely possible, it'll melt and ruin all of your hard work. I could have left the hair like this, because it's so pretty straight, but I really wanted to curl these into gorgeous Lolita style. Curls. A lot of doll customizers have used metal chopsticks to curl the hair or straws secured with pins and boiling water to create curls. But one I didn't have metal chopsticks and two. I could not get the hair to stay secured around my straws, so I had to figure out another way to make these curls when I finally came up with, was to wrap a paintbrush in the lumen employ. So it act kind of like a normal hair curling iron. Then I wrap the hair around the brush holding the bottom, so it didn't unwind. Then I pressed the hair in between the flat iron to set Krum curl, the hair all in one direction so that it all curls nicely together and doesn't get tangled using small clips. I separated the purple into one section, the blue into another section, and then I curled each color in small pieces curling. The hair was also really tricky for me, mainly because I had planned on using the straw and boiling water method and I messed up a lot. But I finally managed to get the curls that I wanted. The key was to do a spiral of hair down the paintbrush and not tight curls with the hair wound. On top of itself, this creeps loose curls, instead of really tight curls. Now that the curls are all done, I very slowly and carefully separated each curl, don't use a brush or you'll end up with a big frizzy mess. This is optional, but you could spray these curls with watered down hairspray of your choice, but because it's synthetic it should hold the curls just fine, not like normal human hair, and it's all done these are so gorgeous. It reminds me of cotton, candy or shaved ice. I love these curls because you can curl all the colors together to create a more elegant put together, hairstyle, also very Lolita, or you can separate all of the curls alone and it's much more bouncy in full.
