[ Applause, ] yeah, they call me Batgirl and when they're coming back, it's a bad girl. Oh you didn't know, don't try to. Let'S go. You see me coming hey babes, it's your girl cheat and for those of you guys who are new to my channel. Don'T forget to Like comment and subscribe. You know you want to see more of me, but today I'm gon na be doing a full closure. Wig tutorial right here, I'm showing you guys the closure it's in 20 inches and in this video, I'm basically just gon na show you guys every single step from bleaching the closure to making the wig to customizing the closure and then to lay in the baby hairs. So I'm gon na be using horror, bundles of 24 inches of hair from the Sochi collection. I will link it in the description box below and this hair is just gorgeous guys, I'm so obsessed with it. I also have a video on how I water colored this hair jet-black, so I'll link it in the description box. So y'all can watch it. When you get a chance, it literally took minutes alright. So the first step is to bleach your closure, I'm using the bw2 Clairol bleaching powder and I'm using a little bit of 40 developer [ Applause ]. So the goal is to get a sort of thick consistency. I, like a consistency, sort of like frosting, and this will help the bleach from seeping through the closure and then dyeing your roots as well, and black hair with blonde brownish roots is not what we're going for all right y'all. So your end product should look like this. I'M just gon na go ahead and set my timer for 20 minutes. In my opinion, this gives me like the most perfect bleach knots. Everything will be bleach and I will have to stress about some black dots here and there once you rinse the bleach off of your clothes you're gon na go in with the neutralizing shampoo. The whole point of the neutralizer shampoo is to remove any orange or brassy tones from the closure and it'll give you a more scalp, like effect, so it's very important to go out the orange shampoo or you can use the purple shimmer light shampoo as well. Now I'm just taking some conditioner and I'm gon na condition the closure and now we're on to making the wig. So I'm using this mesh dome style cap and it's in the size extra large to my bighead sisters. You guys always ask me how to make sure it's gon na fit your head, get this size. I'Ve looped my thread into my needle and now I'm just making a knot. I'M not my thread on my needle three times so using some t-pins, I'm just gon na pin down the closure that way, it'll be easier for me to sew down it's important when you're doing this step that you let a little bit of the hairline of the Closure come past the cap, [ Applause, ] and a tip to help you make sure that your closure is flat is to take the back of the closure and pull it just a little bit tight, not too tight to rip it or anything, but just tight, so That it's super super flat sewing down the closure. What I like to do is put my needle through the closure and the cap, not the elastic band of the cap, guys never ever ever sewed through the elastic band, I'm just picking up the like skin of the cap and I always form two knots in the Beginning and then I just so as usual, it's really simple guys: [ Applause ] once you've gotten to the end. You'Re gon na cut your thread and then you're going to form three knots since I have four bundles of hair, I'm going to double them up. So I'm double-tracking and like I did before I'm just going through the cap and the tracks making a knot so make sure you lay your tracks flat and just go ahead and sew through I'm not cutting my left. This helps prevent, shedding and will help you be able to reuse your hair and helps your hair last longer. So what you do is you fold over your track and you go through the track that you folded over. It'S kind of like putting your needle in from the side of the track and pulling it through. This will keep your wig super flat and keep it from having like bumpy bulks in it. [ Applause ]. So, like you can see it's laying super flat, I'm just gon na take a tee, pin and pin it on the other side. That way, I can just show without having to hold the track and makes it so much more easier and from here on out y'all, I'm just so mean so enjoy [ Applause ]. At this point I stopped doubling my web, so that'll be flat. You do not want your hair to look like a helmet, so by doing this, it'll make it a more you know, seamless natural look yeah, I'm watching the shot. As I make this leg and how come no one told me, the show was so good all right that was an intermission bastard awake. Can we get into this craftsmanship, though? Like look at this wig, she is flat. She is fabulous. She is yes ma'am. Now I'm going to close off the wig. So to do this, you have to go through the track. You have to go through the wig cap and then you have to go through the closure, and this is just basically piecing your whole weight together. So, like I did the other wigs, I always start off and I knot it and then I just sewed through as normal, once you're done, closing off the wig. It should look like this now. What you want to do is cut the cap from underneath where the closure is sewn and you want to just be very gentle, don't rush or you could end up messing up your way. So now it's time to customize one of my favorite parts so get you some good tweezers and then just tweeze in sections. So what I do is I section off the hair and I tweeze like think of it like this. I do one spot and I'll pluck two times then I'll move over, maybe like a half an inch pluck two times and move over again a half an inch in pluck two times to get a wig to like be really natural. You have got to go in and tweeze to make my closure super flat. I grab my flat iron and I just run it a couple times on the closure. I don't do it to the point that I'll burn the closure so ignore that steam, but this step is vital. Then you go in with your hot comb and get in there get that wig, nice and flat TSA's like there's so many things to do to get you a nice flat, natural-looking wig, but I don't understand one: don't do it so do it! [ Applause, ] and look how pretty our hairline looks like natural? I don't like to over pluck because when you over plug you know, your hair is gon na naturally shut over time. You don't want to over pluck because the closure will eventually bald, but, as you can see guys, I'm cutting the baby hairs and just kind of like I just honestly it takes me a while to cut my baby hairs and lay them down with the foam. I really just kind of used my foam as a guide, so as I'm laying the baby hairs, I kind of see where I want to cut. I said I want to lay, and I just keep going back and forth like backs [ Applause ]. Lastly, I'm taking this trip and I'm putting it over the edges and I'm just gon na go in with my blow-dryer and make sure that my baby hair is dry down and this will keep it from moving around it'll, be second place and it'll be perfect. And this is the completed look. I ended up changing the baby hairs, but you guys get it. Thank you. So much for watching, don't forget to Like comment. Subscribe, have a blessed day, bye, guys

TheReal Cecelia: When it’s 3:16 a.m & you can’t stop thinking about the bundles you ordered off AliExpress.

Tiffany: Yesss girl!! Help up beginners lol! Great vid
Karina: I really wish I would've watched this video before I started making my wig lol
Frida Vanessa: Hey good job! I have a question tho. I’d like to understand what’s the difference between sewing “side to side” and sewing “ear to ear” like starting around the perimeter of the wig cap like you did. I’ve seen videos where people do either or whether it’s a closure or a frontal. Is it just preference? Or is there real reasoning behind these two different method? Please community help. from

Taylor Waters: My issue is cutting the extra lace off. How do you do it without cutting some of the weave?
Hesrunway: Great job!
TripleBlessed: So when do you start to curve the track a little ? Is it once you get past the top of your ears ? I see a lot of people say to glue or sew like your making a u-shape but when do you start to form the curve ?
Miyah: I want a wig made ! I need one for my birthday
Boogotti Lewis: This video is really helpful because it show and really explained how to make a wig thanks
SHE SHE AND KIDz: Ga you do a video where you show how to fold the hair without cutting it I wasn't able to see how you did that I'm a beginner so I need close up
Charenia Watson: Do you lay the tracks close together? And do you go through the elastic band when you get to the back?
Connie Mitchell: I’m watching to make these wigs too. I’ll be using my license to get wholesale prices on the supplies & equipment. I used to make wig caps directly onto the clients. I perfected that with glue & using a protector to not allow the glue to touch the clients hair.
Sarah Ogbgu: Nice video and informative. But why did you use a mesh cap?
Princess L.D.G's Kingdom: If I want to use less hair for a thinner look, could I space the wefts 2 inches apart?
Queen IamDez: I honestly never made a wig but I really really want to try it out I’m just so afraid that I’d mess up on it
Armani &Me!: Thank you , I think this may come in handy for me , I can sew already . thanks and very detailed .
India Aonyae: I have a question lol if you don’t sew through the band for the closure part does it not get loose when u cut the cap underneath since you’re cutting the band
Tia W.: You have skills
rhode benguelet: What product do you use to wash the closure!?
Trinilovely: Damn girl ur talented...
