Quick & Easy Guideline Tutorial For A Flat Closure Custom Unit - Beginner Friendly

Hey y'all welcome back to my channel, it's lei and i'm here with another video sorry, i have been a little bit unconsistent, but your girl has been busy um. A lot of things have been happening in my life within like the last couple month or two, but definitely the hero there. So i know i have been going for a little minute, so um i decided to post a video on something that's been requested, but i have been taking my time on posting just because i mentioned it in one of my other videos, but because i began a Lot of new comments and new subscribers, i decided to just make a video just on this, so, as you can see by the title today, i'm going to be showing you how to do guidelines the correct way um i didn't have guidelines inside of. I can't remember what video it was. I think it was a measurement video. It was all at the end, but i know some people don't watch the whole video because it was like 20 minutes long, but that's me the hair there again. So today's video is just going to be basically me showing you how to do guidelines um, i'm going to show you the proper way to do it, but because i do wigs a lot and i have a lot of wigs to do. I don't do it this way that i'm going to show you in the video which is using the actual measuring tape um, i pretty much buy it because i do it so many times. I pretty much know the spacing by eye, but for the sake of this video, i'm going to be showing you how to correct ways. So you can have the most accurate guidelines so before we get into this video make sure you go ahead and subscribe to my channel and thumbs this video up. If you guys enjoy it and if it was helpful and make sure to leave a comment down below. Tell me if this video was very helpful and also drop some new video ideas. I don't want to continue to post the same thing, so that's been another reason why it's been a little minute since i posted a video, but that's neither here there again. So, let's get into this video for this video you're going to need a measuring tape. Um, i got mine from walmart for about 2.99. It was not that much, but you can find this at amazon, walmart, walgreens, cbs, um a craft store, i'm quite sure, michael's joann's, like they all have them here in hawaii. We don't have michael's or joanna, so i found it at walmart because i lost my other one, but you're gon na need your dome head with your wig cap and your lace piece in this video. I'M gon na be using a closure. So the same thing i'm showing you guys, is the same method you can use for a frontal just know. A frontal has take up more space on the cap, so you're going to have less guidelines for a closure depending on the size like it like. I um, depending on the size that would show how many lines you have me i try to make about. If i'm using three bundles, i try to make about nine to twelve lines. Um, i don't really count. I just go based upon the head size, which it pays a big role, so the circumference i'm using is the 22 for this customer. I already have her lace on the um dome head. I already have the measurement sorted out. I have the closure pinned up to the front so yeah, so i already went ahead and made the um guideline the line around the closure piece. You guys may not be able to see it so clearly, because this marker is running out, but i went ahead and um made the line now. Yeah yeah, i can see just a little bit. So what we're going to do is you're going to need your t-pins and it doesn't matter what number like what in put it on. But you do need your measuring tape on the bigger side which is inches. So i'm just going to put one at the end and just make sure that the line is at the bottom of the wig cap. And i'm going to go ahead and t. Pin that down, so i know for a fact that it won't move. Then, once you have it nice and flat and dragged up, you can t, pin it t, pin it again to hold the measuring tape in place. Don'T push all the way down like me, but anywho, so i'm going to move that t pin because it was in the middle. You want your. Let me adjust the camera all right, so this is how i have the measuring tape and i have it pinned down. As you can see, it's super super flat and what you're going to do is, let me make it a little bit boom, so i never put a line at the bottom of the cap. I always start above the elastic band part in the cap, so you see where that two is, i'm just going to go ahead and draw a line right there and then i'm going to draw one on a three. You want to go every whole number just so you know that it's an inch between each um track, so you can just go ahead and pretty much draw a line by every whole number until you get to the top. I normally stop right here because once you get to where you see the tin at you're, going to go like in circular motions around the closures, so i just stop right there. So you can go ahead and take this off and move it to the side. The um, the measuring tape - you just only need to have the accurate spacing but, like i said, i make a lot of wigs, so i pretty much eyeball this out and then what i'm going to do now is i'm going to continue to draw out the line It don't have to be perfect, but try to get it as straight as possible y'all. This may be so quick. Let me turn it the correct way so boom. Now i have all those lines completely drawn. Some of them is not straight because i'm trying to show y'all in the camera, but now i'm going to show y'all how i do the lines around the lace closure. So i pretty much um i'll come this way. You see how you have that gap. I will literally draw a line to even it out and then i would go across and then come on this side and do the same thing now. What i like to do is the line that's around. The closure will be the line to where i know i will sew the closure down on, so i will go ahead and make a line super super close to that, so that i know that's where my last track is going to end at because the lineus around The closure is where i was sew: the closure down - oh, that was so crooked, so i would just go ahead and eye this and you want it to be as close as possible because you don't want no gaps and you see how i still have that extra Space, i will go in and just fill in and then we are done. You know this video will be super short and simple and to the point, because guidelines is really really easy. Um, you are, you can eyeball it. You can do whatever you want, but i'm going to go ahead and take this closure piece off, so you guys can see how close i got that last guideline to the closure piece you want to make it super super close because you don't want no gaps. You don't want no gaps in your wig and you want to make sure you're using all the hair that your customer is sending you or that you're providing. So, as you guys can see, it is super. Super close. This line is aligned with the closure, be sewn down, and this will be the last track. It'S a little lumpy right there, but that's neither here or there so this line the closure will be sewn, and this will be my last track and, like i said y'all, it is not perfect because i was trying to show y'all, but as long as you have Them as straight as possible, you're good to go, and i have one two: three, four: five: six: seven, eight nine ten eleven i have eleven lines like i told y'all i like to have between 9 to 12. So i have 11 and that's perfect. If you're working with um less hair, you will have less lines um, but you'll have more lines. I'M sorry. So, let's say um you're working with a 5x5 coach like how i am and she only sent you two bundles. You will have more lines because you would single the wefts, but i highly highly recommend to tell your clients, unless they get in the box. Do not send two bundles bob blends, which are 12 and 10 and have more hair, so you'll be good, but because she had longer lengths. I have 11 lines like i said, and i try to have between 9 to 12., if she's seen more hair, these spaces will be a little bit further apart. I like to go an inch and a half, because the wefts would be tripled or doubled no tripled or quadrupled. Ah, i hate when i say it would have either three bundles or four buttons attached to it as y'all see in my previous video, when i showed y'all how to do that, but anywho. Thank you guys for staying tuned to this video. Thank you guys for staying to the end of this video. I know it was very quick and simple, but i wanted to get this video out because a lot of people say how do you do guidelines um, i'm just guessing. I didn't watch the end, didn't watch the full video of the measurements because i do have a little snippet in there, but this video is dedicated just to that. So thank you guys for tuning in and stay tuned for my videos, you
