Can't find a wig cap that can fit your head, because they are either too small or they're just too darn small.
I started making my own from control panty-hose. They hold all my long hair in place, and the don't slide back.
It"s great for costume wigs too like Cosplay wigs like, The Legend of Zelda, Princess Bubblegum and Anime Cosplay Costumes too.
I hope you find this DIY helpful works all my full cap wigs, & my lace wigs, it keeps them on and in place, and they don't slide off.
It"s great for costume wigs too, like Cosplay wigs like The Legend of Zelda, Princess Bubblegum and
Anime Cosplay Costumes wigs too.

Hey Divas, I used my facial flex for the last 12 years. I use it twice a day, morning and at bed time, for 2 minutes, each time.
I truly believe this has SAVED my face, and neck. The muscles in my face and neck are very firm and tight.
I highly recommend this product for a firmer, tighter, younger looking face... Video Link http://youtu.be/O5lN0sJrtgY

Hi guys, thanks for joining me today today, I'm gon na show you how I make my wig caps. This is a better option for me. I sort of I sort of make my own and it's really it's really easy. I don't sew anything, although you can sew and I'll tell you about the sewing process if you're interested in sewing this. This particular method that I'm using it's great, if you, if you have a larger head and the regular wig caps, don't fit or if you have a lot of natural hair like I do regularly. Caps, just really don't fit on my head. Nor do they stay in place. They always manage to slip back a lot, maybe like half way back. So what we're going to need to make a wig cap is a pair of stockings, and what I like to do is I like to go to the the dollar store the Dollar Tree whatever, and pick up a pair of pantyhose that cost a dollar a dollar 9, these were about a dollar nine at the dollar store by mean these pantyhose are control top with control top pantyhose. You get a more elasticized fit, meaning it's not snug, but it'll definitely fit your head. This is an adult woman stocking and it's the smaller size that they make. So you want to get the smaller size because it definitely will stretch to your head size. You just want to get a pair of control top pantyhose to smaller size. You can get in a woman size or maybe you can use the child size depending on the size of your head child size types and if you want, you can sew sew the opening, but that's up to you, I'm not gon na sew on okay. So now what you want to do is you're gon na. Take your stockings, your pantyhose. If you want to again, you can use some lightweight tights for girls, make sure you get the smaller size, because you don't want the waist opening to be too big for your head, flatten them out a little bit. And then you want to fold it in half. Just the way you see me doing right here, I'm gon na take off scissors and we're gon na cut right here right about here. We don't need that if you want to use that for something else, you can I'm not gon na use that right now now we're going to take open it up now, I'm gon na turn it inside out so that we can see the seams the label, the Gusset, you want to see all of that just turn it inside out and you want to fold it again in half just like that and now what we're going to do is we're going to knock this. So you want to make sure that you get some of that leg. Part wrapped around the gusset, I'm going to show you just wrap it around. Just like this and pull it through. Let me do it again, wrap it around you're, just simply making a knife. You know how to make a knot. You know that's easy and you want to just pull it through. Just like this, do you get a basic knot just like that, and now we want to start making that knot tighter when I get it nice and tight, get that knot, nice and tight. Just like this now we're going to turn it inside out first to see what it, what the top of the cap is gon na look like when you wear it. So it's going to look like this and yes, it's gon na be a bit of a knot here and I'm gon na um tell you how you can change that if you want, if you want to at this point, if you don't want a knot in your Wig cap, you can, you can always cut at the base of your knot or you can so don't cut just sew. Your cap right here at the base, take a needle and thread before you cut off any extra. You can't start to sew right across just take a needle and thread and sew right across there. You get a more customized fit. I'M not gon na do that, because I have a lot of hair and I'm gon na basically tuck my knot in the back it towards the inside. I'M gon na show you that when I put the wig on so now, we're going to cut off any extra that we have cut right here. Just like that, and now I'm going to turn it inside out, make sure your knot is nice and tight, and now we're going to turn it inside out and now I'm going to put this on and show you how I use this okay guys. So I came in here where the light is better. I have won the wig cap stocking made into a wig cap and I just want to show you what it looks like on. But, of course, without the wig or anything, and I'm going to show you how to take that little extra material that little knot that we made. I'M going to show you how to tuck that away so that it's laying nice and smooth and you won't be able to see it under your own under your wigs. So let me turn it around and all you have to do. Let'S take your nut and just push it downward into your cap, nestled it alongside your own natural hair. If you have your hair, braided it'll sit perfectly fine in there once you have your ways on it'll lay really flat. So when I've been wearing mine, I haven't had any problems with any bumps or lumps in the back and here's my own natural braids, and they don't of course make any lumps or bumping either. I'M really grateful for that. So this is what it looks like and again once you put your wig on, that will lay nice and flat, as you can see, that's my hair, my own natural hair braided up have a lot of hair. So if you have a lot of natural hair, this is a really great option, because the regular wig caps, just they just don't fit, and you get a nice fit along the back of the hairline. You can always push your extra hair up underneath have a lot of your own hair hanging out because and it won't slip back okay, so I'm going to go back in the room, so I can show you the rest of the tutorial. So now I have my wig I'm going to put my wig line just to show you how easy it is and what it looks like I mean this was so easy and it's very quick - and this is a wig that I got from the RPG show. I think last year or year and a half ago, I'm gon na put this on and don't forget to always, if you need to push that wig cap back right back to the beginning of your hairline, that's where mine is I'm. I just pushed it back. A little bit and point to get my wig into place, you can always slip your combs under the wig cap. Just like this. If you have WIC homes and you use them - you slip them under just like that, so it doesn't even interfere with the wig cones and just slip it under the cap. Just like that, and I said first is weight into place and that's it guys. So let me know what you think about my method for making a wig cap. If you have any suggestions or any other ideas of your own, please share them. I like to always find new ways to, or new weight caps to wear, I'm going to show you the back just to show you that there isn't any like large lump sticking up or anything what I'm saying guys really nice ride, alright guys. So thanks so much for joining me today. I appreciate it. Take care and I'll see you at the next video bye, bye,
Comments
タコスramen: 2019 and i still look back at how this helped me
Michelle Everett: I always love the moment when the wig goes on, and the transformation happens. It's like there is a little crowd in my mind applauding. I think your method for making a wig cap is great. The net ones aren't so great for short hairs (and even long haired people have some short hairs which can poke through the net caps). This smooth, all over approach should keep those hairs down and make for a more comfortable experience.
Ryan: For those who make their own wigs, with yarn, or weaving. I used an old pair of stockings to Make a weaving/Wig cap, and just sewed the knots of hair into the That, just make sure you double the thread and dont pull hard if using stockings because it will Rip easily. But this video helped me, because I was making a Wig for my Todoroki cosplay, but couldn't find the weaving cap I had.
Olivia Johnson: I'm using this method for my Halloween costume. Looks easy and it works well. Can't wait!! Thank you!!
Chiaki Fujisaki: This is great, I'm a beginner cosplayer and your tutorial was really good! Thank you! :D
Mackenzie Jay: I used an old thigh high that I only had one of (lost the other one) and it works extremely well. And I was less hesitant to try this method with it because I had nothing to lose. Also, since there is only one leg, it makes a smaller knot so that knot is no issue at all!
Rikki Means: Omg I would have NEVER thought of this!!! Such a great idea!!!
PixelatedStars: Oh wow! Thanks so much for this! I'm starting to make my own wigs & wig caps for cosplay, and this tutorial is very helpful for wig caps!!

Kei Hinkes: this is amazing! I've actually been looking for ways to improve my cosplaying so that I can enter a show. One way I've wanted to improve was to make my own wig caps to make my own wigs with! I have a feeling that this method will be sturdy enough to stay in place for making and wearing, so it'll be a nice two in one! Thank you so much.
a ray: Girl, you made this look so easy and so appreciated!! You look gorgeous.. Thank you so much

1sweetmess: Thank you so much for this video! I'm making a wig for my daughter's costume on a budget. I started to use a crocheted beanie, but I didnt want to ruin a hat.

It was very helpful, I was about to give up!! I'm making a troll wig.
