♡ The Basics "Making A Lace Closure Wig" | Yummy Extensions #Rawcambodiancurly

Hey everybody it's ivy and today i'm going to show you guys how to make your own lace closure wig. This is the updated video and the hair. We'Re using today is from yummy extensions, and this is their raw cambodian, curly wavy and the matching 5x5 closure. You guys this hair is literally everything. I love it so much so, let's get right into the specs of the hair. This is the closure. This is a 5x5 hd lace closure and i did bleach the knots, and this is the color right here. The closure was a little bit darker than the hair and i am going to color it later in the video. So this right here is a little satin statue to get your hair in, and this is one of the bundles. I do have this in 16 inches and, as you guys can see, the luster is just amazing and you get so much hair in one bundle. This right here is the wig cap that i like to use. Now i am so over traditional dome caps. I love these for the fact that you can um adjust the size so underneath these do have the um wig straps and i will post the link below to where i got these um caps because they are literally amazing. You guys so um. I did go ahead and put a pan in the bottom of the cap and now i'm going to put a pan right on the side. So what i like to do is go in and cut off those little tabs now you can leave them. If you think you need extra coverage, but i don't like my hair um sitting so low on my hairline right there, so i actually cut those away all the time and i removed the little wire. That'S in it, it's really simple! So now i'm going to show you guys the placement of the closure. What you want to do is make sure this closure is about a half an inch above your cap, and that's just so when you lay it on your head, it lays properly and you get that full effect of having the five by five lace closure. So right here, i'm going to put a pin in the back, i'm just positioning my closure to get ready to go ahead and sew it onto the cap, and i like to sew right through that um little mesh in the top. Now this is a 6x6 wig cap, but you can use it with any size closure. You just have to um stitch it onto the mesh, that's in the top, instead of the black part, so i'm going to go ahead and do my first stitch. You want to make sure this is nice and secure, as you guys know, i like to do the loop and pull method. This way, my wigs last really long, you guys they never fall apart um. This method has lasted me and held me down for years. I absolutely love the loop and pull if you guys, don't know how to do. It definitely look up some videos. It'S a lot of videos here on youtube, and you want to do nice tight, close together stitches, as you guys can see, just to make sure your closure is laying down flat. You want to make sure any of those gaps are flat to the cap and you can just do really small stitches, as you guys see me doing here. So once i'm done stitching, this is how it should look. Your closure should be completely attached to your wig cap and now we're going to go ahead and put our adjustable straps in the middle loop. This is how tight i, like my wigs to be, and i like making it like this um while they're attached. So my cap isn't loose, and now i'm just gon na do the lines on my wig and what these lines are for is um your guideline to show you exactly where to place your tracks and my eyeliner pencil kind of ran out. So i have to get it um different color, but this is exactly how i lay my tracks and for video purposes, i'm going to put these on here. Just so, you guys know exactly where to follow, but you don't have to do this once you've gotten used to making wigs. So now, i'm just gon na attach my first track and i'm attaching this to the bottom of the cap. As you guys can see, i'm securing my track at the end and then i'm going to do the loop and pull method to stitch my track onto my cap. Now we're just going to go in and apply our second track, and i'm gon na follow my guideline and you pretty much do this throughout the entire unit until you complete it um for this unit. I used two bundles because it was a 16 inch wig. I only needed two bundles and it was more than enough hair and um a little trick. You can go ahead and pin the hair to one side and then stitch. It makes it easy. So um yeah just continue following your guideline until you complete your wig, and your last track should be over your closure and look something like this: okay, it should be nice and neat and very, very tight. Okay. You want to make this tight and super neat, because if it's not neat and it's not tight, your wig will be lumpy in this area. Okay, so take your time doing your last track. So this is how the unit looks um, as you can see right here. This is why i said move your closure about a half inch above the track. That way, you can have room to customize your closure and they look all natural. So now we're gon na color, our wefts, i'm using the revlon hair color in black, and i just slapped this on the tracks literally all over. And i let this process for about 25 minutes and then i washed and conditioned it. And then i'm going to move on to customizing our closure and right here you just see me plucking, and this time i am plucking downward. This is another method i picked up over the years with um. You know: plucking, lace, closures and frontals. I prefer this method when i'm doing closures. For some reason it just makes it look way more natural and it doesn't take out too much hair and, as you guys can see, i just part off little sections of hair and pull up. That'S pretty much all i do and i'm doing the other side, and this didn't take much work because it already came with a pretty good density. Now i'm going to attempt the lace, i'm using the ebn lace tint, and i forgot to tell you guys underneath the lace you want to go ahead and cut away that mesh material. I totally forgot to record that part. I'M sorry, you guys! So now i'm going to put on my unit - and i do have on my lace, grip and my wig fit perfectly as you guys can see like it's snug to my head. It'S flat, there's no lumps it's no bumps and i am going to secure my lace. Closure with my ebn spray and i'm just doing um one coat of spray, and then i pull down my lace and then i blow dry on medium heat to dry down that product and melt the lace into my skin. Once it's done drying, you do want to go in and cut away your lace and remember not to cut in a straight line, because if you cut in a straight line it makes the lace more visible. So definitely move your scissors around to make sure that lace isn't straight across. So now we're going to go in and just do our baby hair and you just want to wiggle your rat tail and pull out a small section of hair, and the reason why i don't do a straight line is because this gives it a more realistic look And now i'm just combing the hair into place, and now i'm taking some out from the center and i'm going to use my edge booster gel and i like to mold down my baby hairs before i cut them just so. I can make sure i have the right amount of baby hair. This method keeps me from having too much or too little baby hair. I can really see how it's going to look before. I give it that permanent cut. So now i'm going to cut and then i just remold it's really really simple and once i was done, the baby hair looked so cute and now i'm going to go ahead and define the curls and all i used was water with a little bit of conditioner. This is raw hair. This doesn't need any product and you guys this hair defines so easily and it was tangle free, no shedding. Of course, this is raw cambodian hair. Yummy hair. Is you guys?
