Tutorial: How To Make A Lace Closure Wig For Beginners

Hi everybody i came to you today to do a quick little video on me, making a full wig out of some kinky or mongolian kinky curly hair that i ordered from aliexpress. So first i have my closure. The knots are bleached. As you can see, you can see very well, it's very transparent. Actually, you probably can't see very well, but you can see through it no issues there um. I just have everything kind of separated so that i can go ahead and sew on my stocking cap since it'll be a full wig. Then i have four bundles of kinky curly mongolian hair. The bundles are a little thin. I'M a little upset about that, but um. I'M gon na make it work. I can make a full wig out of it still and it'll still look full. So here's one of the other bundles here these are both 16. This is a 14 and this is a 12 and the closure is also 12 inches. I have the cap that i will be using on my head and i'm still going to wear stocking caps under it. So that's why i put them on, but it's just a full weaving net, and this one has the flaps. You must get the ones with the flaps, it's so much easier to work with and the straps are in the back adjustable. So what i did was, i put it on my head, how i needed it to be, and then i marked where my closure was going to sit. So mine is going to sit behind the hairline and i marked those two spots with some white um with some white uh eyeshadow yeah eyeshadow. I don't know why i can get that out. But if it's that's, where i'm gon na sit it, and now i'm just gon na, take this piece of stocking cap that i bought and sew it to the perimeter of my closure here. I am sewing my stocking cap down to my closure. I'M just using the regular sewing technique and i am stretching the edges of the stocking cap so that it will fit to the edges of my closure. I'M not going to cut any of this, i'm just going to stretch and if there's any excess hanging off then i will cut okay. So i am lining up with my marks that i have and i'm going to use some duckbill clips and you guys might not get to see all of this i'm going to try to adjust my camera so that you can. But now i can take these other duck bills off they're, really just keeping the um. Well, you know what i'm actually going to keep those on there to keep the hair out of my way. So i'm just matching it up with the lines that were on my unit already and i'm going to pull everything taut, not tight, because once again we don't want to damage the lace. So i hope you guys can see that so you can actually see what i'm doing. This is where i'm working at right here, so we're going to make our first stitch and i'm actually going to start from the bottom all right. So i have sewn my closure on and already tried it on to see if it fits. I am going to leave this cloth here until i get finished with everything. What i went ahead and did was. There is a little flap back here. I am not going to use that flap, so i went ahead and sewed it up and then i'm going to start my first track here and go across my straps. I am not going to sew them into the straps because i still want this to be adjustable. So i'm just going to go into the netting, that's on top of these straps and go across here. These are the combs that i use to secure the unit to my head. I sew one comb in the back and two on the sides of the unit. The little flaps in the front, i do not sew anything to those flaps, i just use a small piece of elastic or you can just use string to sew those flaps flat down to the rest of the unit. I repeat: do not sew any combs to those flaps on your unit. It will cause breakage to your edges. Okay. So now i am on about my third row of sewing and i have three more bundles of hair to go so you can see. I mean i should be able to fit everything on here and here's the curl pattern. I don't know if you can like really see it, but it's kinky curly and i have been combing it out and wetting it to make sure that it will curl back up. Okay, i have finished um why i'm almost finished sewing in my third bundle and i have one more bundle to go um really at first. I was a little nervous that i wasn't gon na have enough hair, but it seems like i may have just enough and i'm gon na have to squeeze this last bundle on there and, as you can see on the sides, i barely have space left this time. I have a little bit more space left, but uh that's pretty much done and the hair is really full. You know i can't complain hi everybody. This is the finished product of my kinky curly wig um. I finished it probably in about three hours and that's because i really took my time so i don't want to have to redo this process again. So here you go. Here'S my closure. It'S blended, pretty well um! I put makeup on it for today and over time. That'Ll kind of fade, so it won't be as dark, but um. My scalp is darker than normal anyway, so it's not a big deal for me, but yeah. This is um four bundles of hair. I have two 16 inches a 14 and a 12, and then i have a 12 inch closure, and then i just cut the ends to make it a little bit more. I guess like realistic, looking, i kind of shaped it up, and this is all i cut from the ends here. If anybody has any questions, the hair will be in the um in the information box. I also will take pictures of all of the other items that i use, because i use a plethora of items to complete this look and, like i said this could be. This is a free parting closure, so it could be part it anywhere. So if i want to wear it to the side, somehow i can do that and i will post the another video with a maintenance for this hair. It'S not too much! Nothing too hard, nothing that no one you know with prior hair experience can't do so um thanks for watching, like the video and please subscribe,
