How To Make: Half Up Half Down Crochet Wig Using Braiding Hair | Diy

Nope, okay, nope, what hello guys and welcome back to my channel if you're new here you're welcome - and I hope you are doing well so in today's video - I'm going to be showing you how to make this beautiful, crochet wig right here from start to finish. So with that said, let's jump right into the video foreign okay. So first thing I'm going to be doing is to cut the braiding hair and inside the pack. There are two braiding hairs inside the pack, so I'm going to be cutting one into four and the other one into three. So the one I'm going to be cutting into four, that's the one I'm going to be using for the back part of the crochet wig and right here, I'm going ahead to pull on the ends, to stretch it out and to thin out the ends of the Hair, so once I'm done stretching out the hair, I'm gon na go it with my hair brush and brush the hair through to make sure it's Tango free. So these are the ones I'm going to be using for the back of the crochet wig. So I'm just going to go ahead, insert them aside, while I cut the other one, so I already went ahead and did that so for this one uh we're going to be using it or I'm going to be using it for the lace part of the wig. So the ones you're going to be using for the lace part of the wig. You don't need to stretch them out. Okay, don't stretch it out, just cut it and brush the hair through to make sure it's tangle free, so next set it outside and okay. So, moving on to the wig cap, I have a separate video, showing you guys how to make this crochet uh wig cap um for that click on this little icon, right here to your right to watch that video, If you haven't watched the video yet so that Way, you can know how you can make your own DIY, wig cap for the crochet, wig and also right here I have my mannequin head increaser. This thing is perfect and amazing, so this helps you to make your wig cap fit better. If the mannequin head is too small and it works like magic okay, so once you place your wig cap on your mannequin head, the next step is to take a concealer fabric marker, whatever you want to use and Mark one inch inward from your hairline, so just Go ahead and Mark in a guideline, so this line that you're making or the the Mac you're making will be your guideline on where to start creating the natural looking hairline so draw in one inch inward from your headline. So for the side in the back of the wig cap, you need to Mark half an inch inward. So that way, if you decide to pull the hair into a ponytail, it will still give you that natural look to it and don't forget to put in your guideline for the side part and the middle part foreign part of this whole process. So before you start, you want to make sure to brush the hair, don't get rid of any tangle, so once that is done, take a little bit out of the um, the hair just like that, I'm going to be working with a little bit at a time. Okay, so once that is done out of this one right here, you want to go ahead and take a tiny, tiny amount of hair. Super tiny, just like this, so go ahead and fold it over to create a loop and just by wrapping it around your finger. Like that, so next take your regular crochet hook, pass it through one hole, one hole on the cap: next hook, the hair pull it through using the crochet hook hook the hair pass it through the loop. Okay, again hook the hair and pass it through the loop. The second time so once you've done that pull the hair through and pull on it to secure it in place. So we're using the double knot method again pass the crochet hook through one hole on the black cap hook, the hair pass it through using the crochet hook, hook the hair past through again hook the hair pass it through the loop and pull it all the way. Through and to secure the the knot in place just like that, so the reason why I'm saying to pass the the crochet hook through one hole on the on the cap, this will allow the cap to stretch without any restriction. Okay, you don't want to pass it more than one hole: okay, because when you do that you're kind of shrinking the cap, if you pass it through one more than one hole on the lace more than one hole right, you'll shrink in the cap. So we don't want that to happen. We want to allow the cap to stretch once we're done: um crocheting, the hair, also I'm using the box braid method. So this helps to give the wig that Fuller that full look without overcrowding it. So when you crochet the hair, you want to make sure that the next one you place on top falls between the space on the bottom and also make sure to maintain the same size of hair or the same amount of hair while crocheting the hair. So you don't want some to be too big, some to be too small and doing this I have to ensure that the hairs will be enough for the whole process. Thank you. So this is eight. I'M done. Crocheting the the hair on the back part of the wig, so I still have one left which I'm gon na one out of the four I caught earlier for the back part of the crochet wig. So the remaining one I'm going to be using it for the black pad right there for the front. Just you know I'll show you in the next clip not right now, but I'll show you as a video uh progress. Okay! So now that I'm done crocheting on the back part of the wig, the next step now is to walk on the lace pad. So right here, like I said earlier, you don't need to stretch out the one you're going to be using for the lace part of the wig. So again, you want to make sure to brush to brush the hair, to make sure it's tangle, free before going ahead to start the process. So once you brush the hair, you want to go ahead and take a little amount of hair. We'Re going to be working with a little bit at a time just showing you the length, okay, so out of this hair right here, I'm gon na go ahead and take a little bit out of it. So next take your hair and fold it over making sure you have a short end and a long end. So a short and a long end just like that, I'm going to be showing you guys, two methods. So, first I'm going to be showing you how to create the uh, the art of ventilated, hair on the lace part using the tiny crochet hook, and I'm also going to be showing you how to ventilate the hair using the ventilating needle again wrap the hair around Your finger to create a loop just like this okay, so for this next part, you will need the tiny um crochet lash hook. So I'm going to be working on this area right here and also the cram part of the wig cap. Before moving on to the front, so to do this, you need to pass the tiny crochet hook through one hole on the lace: gently push it through. So next hook, two strands of hair, close the latch hook and Pull It gently, pull it through the hole again. So using the crochet hook hook the hair and pull the strands through the loop, so once you pull it through, make sure to pull it all the way so that way, they're not we secure, don't be secure again, I'm going to show you take your crochet, your Tiny crochet hook pass it through one hole on the lace. Take your time, I'm taking my time so once you gently pass the crochet hook through one hole again through one hole on the lace next hook, two strands of hair look two strands of hair, just like that and gently pass it through the hole again use the Crochet hook hook the hair right close the latch hook and pull it through the loop. So before you pull the hair all the way through pull the hair. So that way you did not will be secure at the bottom, as you can see right here. So once you have that knot right there, then you can pull the Strand all the way through that'll help to secure it as you pull the hair through make sure to place your finger on top. That will also help to ease the stress on the lace while pulling the hair through the loop and also for this. You need to make sure to space out the hair so to space this out, you need to skip one hole. Okay, so you need to crochet the hair or ventilate the hair on every other hole so skip one. That'S little one hole skip one whole ventilate on the next hole, skip the next hole and ventilate on the next one after that. Okay, so let's talk about the choice of color and hair type, so whatever color you choose to use is up to you and if you don't feel like using synthetic hair, you can use gray hair. You can use human hair for your project. You don't have to use the same color. You don't have to use the teddy care for your project. So it's your project until you decide what you want to use for your project. Okay, all right! So, moving on to the next step, I'm going to be showing you how to ventilate the hair using the ventilating needle so using the same process. You want to start by floating folding the hair over. Just like that. So to start, you need to take your ventilating needle pass it through one hole on the lace. So next you need to hook two strands: okay hook, two strands and pull it through the hole so using the ventilating needle wrap the hair around it flip the ventilating needle upside down. Just like this. Okay and gently pull it through the loop. So once you pull it through the loop, you can go ahead and pull the strands all the way through to secure it in place to have tie the knot in place. Okay, take your ventilating needle pass it through one hole on the lace. So next hook two strands of hair and pass it through just like that. So next wrap the hair around the ventilating needle and next rotate the ventilating needle upside down. Just like this, and next pull the hair through the loop and all the way through. Just like that, to tie the knot so go ahead and continue doing that and also remember, you need to space out the hair by skipping every other hole on the lace so when using the ventilating needle to ventilate the braiding hair. If the hair keep keeps breaking, that means you need to ease off the tension, the amount of tension you add Ray when pulling the hair through the loop to tie the knot. You don't need to add that much tension in order for them not to be tied. Okay, so just ease ease it a little bit and you will see the the ventilated process will go super easy and smoothly. So, unlike the tiny crochet hook when you're using the uh, the tiny crochet hook, the hair won't break, but it might break the lace. So when that happens, you just need to adjust how you push the crochet hook, the tiny crochet hook through the lace and when pulling the hair through. You need to make sure to place your finger on top to ease the stress on the lace, so just by passing the tiny crochet hook through the hole on the lace that that alone already stretches out the whole. So you don't want to put extra stretch or stress to it so yeah. So then, as always, you want to make sure to practice figure out what's wrong. If you keep, if the lace keep breaking just practice on something other than that the project you are working on, so once you figure out how to avoid that, then you can settle down and work on the project you need to create in order to avoid holes On your project take a break every now and then, if you need to take a break rest, your booty, if you are sitting and then get back to it and also remember you, don't really learn everything at once. You you learn, as, as you go along with each project, you need. You learn new stuff you're like oh. This is different. Oh, I can improve on this. Oh, I can do this better. How can I make this this project even better than the one I've made before you know, so that's how you improve on the skills. Even now, I'm still learning new stuff like oh this one is way better than the one I made before you improve on your skills and get more experience as you walk on more projects. As always, if you need to practice on a little session on a little bit of lace, go ahead and practice on that practice, practice practice to in to improve okay. So I went ahead and finished the front part. So now it's time to focus on the hairline. So you can see right here all done almost. We still need to create that natural, looking hairline. So, as you can see right here, that's the line, that's where I stop so now. I need to focus on the hairline, so for the hairline, you only need one strand of hair and also you need to space it out. Also, you can space It Out by skipping one or two holes, depending on what you want. Your the front of your wig to look like so there are parts that you might only need to skip one hole while there will be some part that you need to skip more than one to achieve the look you are going for again remember for the hairline. You only need to use one strand of hair, getting close to the very front of the of the um of the wig. You only need one strand of hair and also a single knot. So I'm going to be uploading a separate video on more in-depth video, showing you how to create a more realistic headline, how to draw the lines and everything where to focus on when it comes to a specific area. I'M going to be uploading a separate video for that, so stay tuned for that video hit. The Subscribe button turn on the notification Bell so that way, once I upload the video you will get notified foreign, don't forget for the very front of the lace to get that natural. Looking hairline, you need to switch from two strands of hair to one strand of hair and also, if you need to skip one hole, go ahead and Skip One hold. If you need to skip two holes go ahead and do that? Okay, so once you're done ventilating the hairline, the next step is to braid the hair uh out of the way. So that way you can work on the remaining part of the crochet wig. So, like I said earlier, I only use well three out of the one. I cut into four so right now, I'm going ahead to use the remaining one for this um for the rest of the crochet wig. So and also you want to make sure to maintain the same amount of hair you use for the back of the wig. So doing this will help to ensure that you have enough hair to finish the crochet wig okay, make just like that. Take a tiny, teeny, tiny bit and also I'm doing the same thing right here and making sure that the next one I place on top falls in between the space on the bottom foreign. So once you're done, crocheting the hair down the next step. Take your brush and brush the hair through, so next go ahead and braid it out of the way for the next step. As you can see, it's not overcrowded foreign to braid it. Okay, all done almost so the next part. Now I'm going to be trimming the hairs on the lace part, so I'm going to be trimming and thinning out the ends of the of the hairs on the um on the lace pad of the wig. So I'm going to be doing that using a razor comb and I'm going to be working with a little session at a time just to maintain the same trimming process. But first i'm going in with a brush to make sure I brush it get rid of any tangle before going in with the razor comb. So right there going in with a razor comb, I'm gon na head to trim and thin out the ends of it. So doing this will help to prevent the hair from the ventilated hair from getting tangled, because you don't want it to be all the same length all the way down, so you need to go in and create some short strands in there. Just like human hair, you have some short strands on the hair, so that's exactly what I'm doing right here so creating a little bit like some short strands in between the uh, the hair. So this helps you to minimize the amount of freeze and toggle. You would usually get from a synthetic wig foreign so now that that is done, the next step is to wash the hair and to do that, I'm pouring in warm water into this container right here. You want to make sure, to put your hand inside the water. The inside the water to make sure it's warm and not too hot for your wig, we're not trying to cook it we're just trying to clean the wig okay. So once you add your warm water into a container or bucket go ahead and add your shampoo okay. Just like I'm doing in this video, so once that is done, go ahead and put the wig inside completely submerge the wig into the water and do not comb the hair. While the hair is in there, you can run your fingers through it, but don't use any comb or brush okay. So once you put a wig in the warm water, the next step is to let the wig soak in the water for a few minutes. So once that is done, go ahead and remove it from the shampoo water put it into clean water to rinse out the shampoo okay. So once that is done, you need to go ahead and dry off the wig using drag of the excess water using your towel. So once that is done, you need to lay the wig air dry completely overnight during the day. Just let it air dry completely do not manipulate the hair, don't comb it. While the hair is wet. Okay, you can do whatever you need to do once the hair is completely or once the wig is completely air dry. Okay. So this is the next day and the wig is completely dry. So right here, I'm grinding with my brush to brush the hair through. So at this point you can do whatever you need to do like uh. If you want to straighten the hair, you can go ahead and straighten the hair using a very low heat. Okay, if you want to, if you want it like super straight, you need to use a low heat using a flat iron to straighten the hair so yeah. This is the wig. I didn't use any heat. I didn't use the the hot comb this time around. I have something else planned for this wig, so yeah, Okay, so we've come to the end of today's video and there is the final result: the all-back hairstyle. You can do all kinds of hairstyle with it. You do a half up, half down half braided hairstyle um, um, ponytails, low bun, all kinds of hairstyle. This is the best thing about this crochet wig. This is by far by far my best wig, yet like all in one crochet wig like come on this right here. Is it okay, especially like I said earlier, if you're not a fan of synthetic hair, free, free and use real hair, you you can use human hair for your project. It'S your wig. You decide the type of hair you want for it so yeah this.
