I truly hope that you consider hitting that subscribe button, as well as that notification bell, so you don't miss any upcoming videos if you're returning, hey muffin, all right y'all. So this is a special kind of video. I know most of you have been hearing about the rant and rave of these headband wigs. There are a ton of them out right now i mean a slew of them, so when they first came out your girl here, the frugal chick wasn't feeling the price. I was like almost 300 for a headband week - human hair, of course, but still wasn't feeling it y'all wasn't feeling it and not that i can't afford it. I just ain't trying to spend that kind of money on it, and so you know i was like. Let me pull out these creative juices and make my own at a fraction of the cost. So that's what this video is going to be about today, i'm going to actually include the tutorial on how i made this one and then um i'll show you the results of a kinky straight unit. I also made, but i won't show you the tutorial, because one is enough: i made them exactly the same, so let's go right ahead and dive into this video. All right, y'all. So here is the unpackaging of the hair. I used for this first deep wave wig that i made they included some of these goodies, some needle and thread eyelashes along with a wig cap, and, as you can see, it is in deep wave, i have 16 inches 18 inches and 20 inches. This is what the hair looks like now to make this wig. I use the hot glue gun method, as you can see here and i like to use the black glue sticks with making my wigs, because the hair is black. I also used a kids spandex dome cap because my head is kind of small and because it's going to be a half wig, i needed it to fit as secure as possible. This is a headband that i got from my local beauty supply. It came in a two pack with a black one and a white one. I have placed my dome cap on my mannequin head and marked where my ear tabs are as well as where i am going to cut the headband to add the velcro portion that you or that i saw in some of the headband wig videos. So now i'm just placing the headband on the spandex dome cap so that i can begin sewing it to the dome cap. I'M going to be sewing the middle portion of the headband to the very edge of the spandex dome cap. So now, i'm just beginning to sew the headband to the spandex foam cap all the way around. Until i get to that mark, i made past my ear tabs kind of behind my ear, which is where i'll stop, so that i can um cut the headband in the very middle of the back and then add the velcro portion later on. So this is where i ended up stopping this is where i made that marking and i'm going to finish this - i'm going to do the same thing on the other side and find that stopping place and then i'll add that velcro portion later so now that it's Time to make the wig i'm adding this black plastic bag, any plastic bag will do, and this is just to protect my mannequin head from the hot glue gun so that the hair is not stuck to my mannequin head and, as you can see, i am using This hot glue gun - and you have to be very careful with this, because that hot glue can get very, very hot, so i like to use my um popsicle sticks um to just kind of press the hair in place. As i go along very simple, this is a very easy process. I have probably done this maybe about five times like i'm, not a pro at it, but you know i just had to jump out there and try and that's what i did and i don't think it's very hard or difficult at all. As you can see, i'm using the flip over method, so i don't have to cut the track in order to reduce as much shedding as possible. You just kind of add the hot glue um in like a curved motion and just flip over the hair. Pretty much. I hope i'm explaining that right, um, so i'm just continuing on at the top of the hair and then you'll see me. Do this flip over method again, because i'm going to add that glue in like a little curved motion to be able to just flip the hair over and continue gluing it down. So now i've reached the end of gluing all the hair down, and this is what it looks like all the way around and i'm able to flip that headband up over that track area so that it's unseen, which works out perfectly. So i let it sit for about two hours to dry completely, and then i removed that inside plastic bag from the cap and washed and deep conditioned it off camera. I also sewed on the velcro part off camera and i use one of my wig grips because you know i have a ton of those laying around and then i also sewed in some hair combs, two in the front and one in the back for more security. So now i'm just going to liven up these curls a little bit by adding some water and then following that up with some garnier fructis sleek and shine intensely smooth leave-in conditioning cream, all right y'all. So i took you through how i actually made this wig um and, as you can see, it's really not a difficult process at all, even if you have never made a wig before ever as long as you can kind of get a needle through um, a headband And a cap and then just use you know i was trying to shortcut this thing for beginners. Specifically, i know most people have a hot glue gun already most people. If you don't you, you might have some hair glue. I don't know you can choose, but i figured this was probably the simplest way to make a headband wig at a fraction of the cost human hair. That is so. There are some synthetic options. As i know you have probably seen. I actually have a video of my own on some synthetic options that you'll see this coming friday, so make sure you check that out. There are a ton of different options, but there are people that specifically want human hair. So i wanted to make sure i gave a human hair option that you can actually make and save you some coins honey all right. So all of the hair that i use for both of the wigs they come from amazon y'all already know i'm an amazon junkie and you can find some of the best deals on amazon. I'M telling you don't sleep on amazon, so this particular hair that i use to make this wig comes from vr vogue and it's their brazilian deep wave. Human hair, 7a bundles and i use 16 inches, 18 inches and 20 inches, as you saw in the clip and the cost of those three bundles was 59.99. You can't beat that and then you can easily get a super inexpensive headband from your local beauty supply store. I think i paid like 1.99 for mine, if that it might have just. I had two a two pack, so it was 1.99. I think, but like you can get these things for a dollar just get you a regular black headband, and then you can just dress it up with a cute headband like i did here and like most people are doing anyway. Now the cost of you know some of these bigger names like my first wigs and i don't know the exact price, i'm just kind of um rounding from what i remember. I know it was almost like three hundred dollars and then some companies was like okay. Well, let me compete with that and come a little lower. Then it was like 260 280 and then i saw a company come down to like 2-4. I mean to me. I just can't, like that's 200 over 200 for a human hair, half wig with a headband. I was just like: no, i can't do it and they look so good. They really look so good, so i first saw brittany, aka the hearts and cake 90 reviewed this halfway. She was the very first person i saw reviewed. This had been wig and then it just was like non-stop videos of headband wigs, but you know, i guess maybe i just haven't found that company with the the cost efficient human hair headband wigs, so i wanted to just show that there are much more affordable options. If you just take the time to make one yourself, if you are not afraid of being creative and just jumping out there doing your little diy, this is for you for sure, save your coins. But if you got it and you want to splurge nothing against that either hey to each's own, i am not monitoring anybody pockets, i'm just giving options here. That'S all because i'm frugal and i didn't want to do it. So that's all. I personally feel like this unit was super easy to make um and i feel like any beginner can do it. So let me go ahead and show you this hair, i'm gon na do a little 360 for you real, quick and then i'm gon na transition into the kiki straight wig that i also made. So let's look at this one. All the way around this is the hair, like options are endless and like the headband wig itself is like. I don't know where we've been because half wigs have been out for like ever and all you had to do was throw a little headband on it and you would have been good to go. But but now they just put all this high cost on these wigs and i'm just not here, for it i'm not wet cost efficient. Let'S do it all right, so, let's dive into the other one, okay, so here's the un-packaging of this hair. It is from adoif fair on amazon, it is their brazilian kinky straight yaki, human hair, bundles in 14, 16 and 18 inches. The cost of these bundles is 58.99. This is what the hair looks like, which is absolutely beautiful, all right y'all. So this is the second wig that i made using kinky straight yaki human hair. I'M telling you when i tell you, i am a fan of a four double yeah. You got ta make the wig with the bundles, but if you're not afraid of that, this is definitely catered to you go ahead out. There take a chance and if you've never done it before first time for everything right, you got ta. Try at some point in your life right, especially if you love wigs and if that's just not your thing, i totally get that too. I totally get that too, if you rather just have the convenience, because i am a convenience chick as well. Have the convenience of just purchasing the wig as it comes, and you don't mind: spending 200 on a headband wig a great option for you as well all right! So let me dress this one up with another headband and it's kind of like the same type of headband, just a different color, all right. So i don't know if you noticed um. I kind of put this wig on a little different than the first one, because i wanted to showcase that you could put this wig if you make it or buy it all the way up to the top of your hairline. So you don't have to have any edges showing whatsoever. You can definitely do that. That is always an option in case you have alopecia or no edges whatsoever, that's an option. So it's for everybody. I feel like this is such a convenient style. This headband wig is excellent. I used to be so heavy into wearing half wigs more so when i was relaxed um i would just get a halfway leave my relax leave out out in the front and let it blend like that was my jam. So it's like these headband wigs are just like bringing back memories. It'S just like dang. I could've just been throwing a headband back on back in the day and now that i didn't, because i did yeah, i wore some headbands back in the day, but it's so cute. I feel like this is such a cute, go-to, quick and easy. All you got to do is slick your hair back and my hair is just slick back in a ponytail. That'S it. I did. This do some little swoop soups. I don't have a whole ton of edges. I really don't um because i just have super fine hair. I just i just ain't at it like that, but you know i did a few little swoop. Swoops you can or cannot. This is just an easy and convenient style and again to be able to make your own just makes it that much more cost efficient, sixty dollars for the hair, headband, no more than two dollars like versus like 260 and up for and again, if that's in your Budget, i am go for it and it's not that it's not in my budget, i'm just pro. I just i choose differently on what i want to spend my money on. That'S it, everybody chooses different. That'S it! No shade, no judgment on what you want to spend. Your money on we are, we all make our good earn money and we are able to spend it on whatever we choose. However, we choose - and i'm definitely here for that because i know i do 58.99 y'all, that's it and again i made it the exact same way as i did with the other one. The only difference the first wig because um you know most of the headband wigs - had the little velcro on the headband that you can just attach. With this wig i didn't do the velcro i just i left the whole headband attached. I didn't cut it and add velcro. That was much easier y'all. I don't know why i put myself through all that extra work. If you do decide to make this wig don't cut the headband when you sew it onto the cap. Leave it closed. It was so much easier this way that velcros, that's just extra steps for nothing. To be honest, but, like i love this, this could definitely give off the impression of my natural hair. Like this kinky straight, i love it y'all, it's not like super thick density. It'S like perfect y'all. I just think this is so cute y'all such a cute option, so i'm just gon na push this back again, like i had the first one and show you how it looks with my actual edges out and hair out more hair out. They they did something with these headband wigs. They have done something so many have jumped on this bandwagon, including myself, but i just decided to make my own. That'S the only difference but they're so cute and convenient. Oh, my goodness. It'S like perfect all right y'all! Well, that's going to conclude this video. Thank you all so much for watching.
