Turn Your Lace Frontal Into A Lace Closure + How To Make A Wig | Beginner Friendly

Eddie ma, what are you doing on that YouTube? Ah, all right, so you guys are tuning into what was the start to a very very long day. I pretty much messed up. My frontal, during the beginning of the tutorial and y'all, can see like the hair is shedding it's everywhere. I was pissed, I was upset and guess what my friend's home is damaged and literally it's damaged like it looks like a piece of Donald Trump's, hairpiece or whatever be on his head. So I think what happened is I just got overly excited because I ended up finding a solution to my frontal situation, but guess what I ended up in a big bolus, but luckily I did have some more of my frontal left over. So what I did was, I actually went back and part of the hair. This is, what's necessary, part the hair and make sure it's clean and perfect so that when you go back and cut it, this is what you end up. Having a closure, its blanking. It'S not the best, but guess what it's ours and we're going to make it do what I do all right. So what you want to do is have a mesh cap. I use this dome wig cap and the material on it is way way better than the first material I had used for my wig. So have this make sure you have a needle and thread, cheers t-pins and, of course, a mannequin head, because what are you guys going to place it on your own head? No, so what I want to stress in the beginning of this tutorial is that whenever you place your wig cap on to your mannequin head, you want to make sure that the two lines in the front are parallel to each other, and this is just going to Help with positioning your closure on top of your wig so as y'all can see, I'm just placing my closure on top of the way cap, and this is a little bit easier to work with compared to a frontal, because, with the frontal you have to push the Frontal up a little like, I want to say, inch or two away from the beginning of the weekend, but with the wig cap, when you're working with a closure, you just make sure you have it aligned with the beginning of it. Is that make sense, y'all-y'all see how close I am so now I have it pinned down in the front and I'm just going to make sure I have it laid down in the back foot. Of course, let's get the other people or not yeah we're getting it out of there, so I'm just grabbing a tee pin and I'm making sure my closure is laying flat even at the back, and if you want, you can add some even towards the middle. So this is what it should look like. Also I can down. You want to make sure that closure is laying flat. It needs to be flatter than water down solder. That'S how flat I need this closure to be because we do not need no bumps or anything. So what I'm doing is I'm starting off by sewing game. We'Re sewing it down. Finally, and I'm just getting my drilling thread and I'm starting from the corner, making sure I'm securing it down and we're doing the loop in poor mices. So, as you can see, I'm just grabbing some of the material from the wig cap and then I'm going underneath and then going through the back of the closure. And you want to pull and put the thread through the needle and pull through went a little bit better because I felt like I didn't even explain that the way I wanted to, but all we're doing is just grabbing a little piece of that material from the Wig cap and then you're going to pull it through. So this is loop and pull so going through the back of the closure, putting the thread over that needle and then pulling it through and we're just repeating the same step over again and I'm making these clips go by as smoothly as possible, like I'm, not fast-forwarding Them I mean there will be some fast-forward later, but for the sake of you know showing you guys this, because this is a beginner'only tutorial, I'm showing you guys exactly how I did this with a little bit more ease in the first time. I did it so so yeah loop and pull you guys. Looking for method is what's going to be your best friend here and I'm just going to remove that T pin. So we can lay down the ending of the closure grab. Some of the material go through the lathe puncture. It pull the needle up. I said: pull the needle pull the needle up put there. We go and then have that thread go over the needle and then you're gon na pull it through. Just like that. Just like that, alright, so once we get to the end of that, you want to make sure you're securing it by tying a knot. This is just going to really just provide safety for your clothes. You could we don't want to flap. You know we're all right. So I'm gon na start working on the sides now and just starting off. You can sign up, however, you want to access begin with it, but just really make sure you're going through the lacy, and I want to stress like when you're sewing on your closure, make sure you're going through like the lacy part of the closure. Don'T get no more than it than what you need to like: don't go through there, the lace and then through some of the hair. Thinking like that's, really going to secure it down, sewing through the lace or just grabbing some of the material from the wig cap and then a little bit of lace. It'S gon na go a very long way, trust and believe me, because once you're doing the loop improvement it, you really have like Usher safety, that your hair is not going anywhere so yeah. I just wanted to stress that, because I don't want your hair shedding and I don't we think we just don't want no dress on. I just absolutely love like didn't. I give you satisfaction, oh my god, that just gives you so much satisfaction like when the drudges works in your favorites anyways, so again, loop and pool loop and pool and we're getting towards the end, and all I'm doing is pulling that needle through and you're going To bring the loop over that needle and then pulling it through, and that should end off that part of the closure and make sure you tell your nods. Of course. Can I forget about the night? I also want to mention: whenever you're sewing down a closure, you only sew down the left right and back portion of it. You do not sew down the front and you'll see you later on to the video. Why all right? So I decide not to record the other side, because y'all kind of got the gist of it but yeah. This is what everything should look like flat, lay down to the gods like wait. So now we're going to work on the back section and I've already pinned aside and I'm using my 20 inch bundle and you want to make sure whenever you're working from the back like I have four bundles. So if you're someone who has like four bundles, I would say double your double your webs, because you want your hair to be fool, you don't want it. Looking like scanty and looking like you have CPU screen doors for bundles, it's just a big no-no, so anyways. What we're going to do is just start off from the back by throwing this down. So, basically, what you do is whenever you're sewing down the west from the back, you want to make sure you're starting off by sewing it down on the band and again you're sewing it on the band you're not sewing it through the band because sewing it through The band is pretty much going to make your wig not fit because you're strolling through the elastic of the band, so make sure that you're picking up the material from the band where the elastic is but you're not sewing through it. And I'm stressing this because, when you're finished with this week and you've set through hours to get it done, and it does not fit that it's going to be the reason why so I kind of fast-forward through muscle video, and I just skipped over to the part Where I'm kind of sewing the bundles on to the actual wig cap and I'm just doing the same method, we've been doing the whole way through you're doing the loop and pull method, so I'm just pulling it through and then I'm just going to go underneath those Two ways and then pick up some of the material pull it through make sure I get that thread to go over the needle and then there you are securing it. Another thing I also want to stress too, is like, when you're working with two bundles make sure that everything is t-pin to correctly, because you could have the possibility of where you accidentally picked up one wet, but you didn't pick up too so make sure you have Both of them placed on there because you don't want to have to go through, go back and realize that you had only sold one a whole way through, like it's going to be a big waste of time. So just make sure every time that you're going into so the web, that both of the both of the webs are on there together and not just one separately or one hanging hanging down, says what I do from Martin. That had like the piece of web from the back leg. That'S what you're going to be looking like! Do these doors in the barber shop, that's what you're gon na be looking like, and I'm not going to be up off of that. Okay! So now I'm getting to the corner, so I do want to say, because I think I was just like recording and recording the recording and I forgot to get the parts that really mattered. I guess, but whenever I get to like, I guess the other side of the wig cap, you want to make sure that you're folding it over. So, as your folds, I guess so in one west on when you get towards the ending portion of the wig cap fold it over, you can either fold it over cut it off. I just say fold it over because once you start cutting off so many sections of your West you're really going to be left with, like so many pieces. If you ever decide to take down the from the wig cap and do something else with this so just fold it over and when you get closer to the top, you can start cutting it because you already know how many inches you have in. So I'm learning a little bit faster now because I do believe this is when I started working with only one way, which was a lot easier to do, because I knew at this point. I only have one weft I was going through and not two. So it was easier to come and keep up with a sewing in and just doing the loop control method, because y'all see I'm going fast as lightning baby. I'M static, shotgun, I'm like Sonic. The Hedgehog over here is just going easy, breezy beautiful, alright. So this is what you should have so far, so I'm just teaching in this section down and again I'm working with one West again this time and I had cut this part, so I didn't do the fold-over method I had cutting once I got to the other End all right we're just going to pin down this other section as well all right. So once you get closer to the front, your wig cap is not going to be curved out like it. You see is going to be more squared, so you can kind of measure out how much hair you want to start placing because it's not going to be like how I was like using for West, your you might most likely have to cut some off, but this Would be a little bit more helpful because once it starts squaring off you kind of get a good measurement of how much hair you want and again we're just looping and pulling and pulling all right. So remember earlier, when I said not to slow down the front of your closure. This is exactly why, because the material underneath the closure is going to be cut off and you just want to make sure you're not cutting too close to the thread, because that is pretty much going to ruin all your hard work and we don't want that. So just cut around the thread once you're done. This is pretty much all you should have. This is exactly what your weight should be looking like underneath so we're very, very closer, and this is two more steps, but you will be needing an elastic band. I use this white one, but I would prefer using a black when, instead, I could not find it today, but all I'm doing is measuring out how much are they left the band I'm going to meet on my head, and I would suggest doing this before you Actually sew it on so that way you can see how much space you'll be meeting, and once I measured it out, this is what I had left so you're just going to pretty much loop it over, because you want to kind of double bandage. So it's more thick and secure and I'm just cutting this off, and this is what you should have left over. So I didn't really record this part of me sewing on the elastic band, but in the near future I will try my best to make sure I upload that, for you guys so next, I'm using with Clips the first one that you saw is what I use. I had to use these ones on my wig when I first made them, but I don't really like it. I prefer these ones a little bit better, because with these you can just slide it right underneath your braids. So this is what it looks like once. It'S attached to the wig, and I feel like this is way way better to do with the wig clips. You'Re really just clipping it onto anything. You can and I feel like if you have cornrows - that's not really like secure and I didn't like it either because they always got attached, so I would suggest using these clips and say where you can just slide them in. So this is the final product. You guys I'm so happy. I was absolutely very, very very pleased with this was my first time creating a wig and it came out wonderfully.
