Crochet Headband Wig Diy (& Braid Out!)

Hey guys welcome back to my channel, my name is kiara nicole and today i am back with another headband wig video um. If you haven't seen my last video, i showed you guys a few different styles um that i created with the headband wig using crochet braids. A few of you guys have asked me to do a video showing exactly how i created my crochet headband wig um. So in today's video i'm going to be showing you step by step, how i created these crochet hip and wigs all the products that i use to do. This tutorial will be linked in the description box, so for this crochet style, i'm going to be using two packs of the cuban twist hair um. This is the wig cap that i'll be using. It doesn't come with any combs attached, but i'll show you guys how i attached that later to make this process go by much faster. I would suggest that you pre-separate the hair in the beginning prior to crocheting the hair, so here i'm just showing you guys how i separate the hair, i'm separating each strand that comes in the pack into two sections, so you just want to start crocheting the hair Starting from the back um for this, i'm only pulling the strands through one hole on the wig cap. This helps to prevent the cap from bunching up too much. If you were to pull the crochet hook through more than one hole, i'm also crocheting the hair, as if i was doing an invisible part method, i'm only pulling one strand through when i'm tying the knot. This helps the knots to lay a little bit flatter on your crochet wig, as you can see guys, i'm not really putting the hair super close together, um. I wanted to show you guys this part, because i know some people think that you have to crochet through almost every hole in the wig cap um, but you should really space it out. Um, the hair is pretty thick and pretty full, so it'll actually fill in pretty quickly without covering every single section. So this is what i have in the back so far, um as you can see, they're not super close um. I try to be a little conservative when i'm doing the back um and not add as much, but if i feel i need to add more later, then i will do that, but this is about the spacing that i use when i'm installing the hair. So here i'm just going to show you more footage of me installing the hair um honestly, this didn't take any time at all. I was surprised at how fast i was able to install the hair, especially when you have all of the hair pre-separated beforehand, um and also, if you have a wig stand. Um for this it'll make it so much easier to style the hair as well so yeah. I think i was able to do most of this wig in about an hour, so it was a pretty quick process for me. So this is what the wig is looking like so far as you can see, although i spaced it out a lot in the back, you can't really tell, as you begin to add, more hair. So if you're going for more of a natural density, don't worry about covering every single hole. So once you get to the front of the wig cap um, you want to use smaller sections in the beginning. I told you guys that i separated the hair into two sections for the front. I am using four sections, so i'm separating those two sections into another. Two, so this is going to help the front of the wig lay as flat as possible, again you're, going to just crochet the hair through one hole in the wig cap and you're only going to pull one strand of the hair through. As you can see, the knots in the front of this wig are much smaller than the ones in the back, so you basically want to cover the entire front perimeter using these smaller sections of hair. Here i installed the crochet hair through each hole along the front. So you just want to repeat this process all the way across until you have the hair covering around the entire perimeter. So this is what the wig will start to look like, as you continue to install the hair um. So then, you would just go back and start to fill in these sections. I continue to use small pieces of hair in the front just so that it doesn't become too bulky. So this is what the wig will look like, as you continue to fill it in um. There'S really no need to cover every single hole um, but make sure there are no really big gaps. So here i'm showing you what the wig looks like on me up close as you can see, it's pretty seamless and the hair in this natural state matches my texture pretty well. Also, it didn't really matter that i didn't crochet the hair through each hole in the wig cap. It still filled out nicely, so i told you guys earlier um this wig cap didn't come with any comb attachments, so here i'm just showing you guys how i sew a wig comb onto the front of the cap. I'M sewing it in the front center um because it just helps to maintain more control of the wig and the placement. You don't have to worry about this. Being super perfect, just get it on there. The best way you can so here is what the wig looks. Like with the comb attached, i did sew the comb a little too close to the edge um, so i would suggest for you guys to bring it back a little bit, but, as you can see, once you put the headband on, it really doesn't make a difference. Um, but that would be my suggestion to you guys, so i decided to style my hair this time in a braid out. This is actually my first time attempting a braid out on crochet braids, so i really wasn't sure how it was going to come out. So basically, what i did was just took small sections of the hair and braided it down, and then i took a small flexi rod and just wrought it the last couple of inches of the hair um. Just so it wouldn't be so raggedy at the ends um. So then, after that i just dip the braid into boiling water, and then i let the hair dry overnight, and then i took the braids out the next day. So these are the results of the hair. I cut it a little bit because the hair was super long, i'm probably going to end up cutting it a little bit more to about here um, but i definitely like the way that the hair came out. I think it looks pretty natural so guys. This is what the hair looks like up close.
