Oh hi, I didn't see you, I'm mama Damien welcome back well, you asked for it. So you've got it. We have a new wig tutorial today today, you're going to learn how to make this. We went into a completely different by boiling and boiling over there. No steamers, no curlers, no curling iron can you believe it and, as per usual, we're going to make this with some jumbo braid. I made this with six packs, use seven for good measure to curl this masterpiece, you're going to be doing it with four other things. You'Ll mean, as usual, a canvas heaven-sent, a teasing comb. Another comb and possibly another color pearl pins, be a bobby pins. I still don't know where else you get them hot glue and a glue gun. Our handy dandy, lace, front, wig, cap, bamboo, skewers tonight. I think parchment paper hairspray a blow dryer and whatever else you think you'll need to style it anything else I forgot will appear in magical bubbles here whatever yet you'll need a cotton based yarn or something else to tie bundles with that won't melt, make sure you're Using Connie, f, ro or hen, long hair or better of the most common jumbo braid brands, you'll find bobby boss is not one of these and it will melt alright. Let'S get started. First, we're going to cut an entire hair into sections. Take each pack of hair cut it in half then divide it into eight. Even sections tie each section off on the end. You want to be rooted. Make sure that whatever kind of string you're using is cotton or something that won't melt do not use acrylic yarn. Take sheet the foil, unroll them into loose tubes, keep in mind this Guinea. Here it gets the smaller and frizzier your curls will get fold. The foil in half place the rooted area up top and weave the hair back and forth. When I got to the ends, I just wrap the foil around it and secured it and rolled up the other side before you cook. Your hair make sure you do a test section first to make sure it can handle the heat, bring the pot of order to a full boil then turn off the heat submerge a couple bundles at a time for 15 seconds, remove them and strain any extra water. You can get out. A lot will probably be trapped in the foil time to dry these puppies, but how you ask in the oven, okay, disclaimer do not burn your house down. All ovens do not heat the same or evenly for that matter. This is what worthless minds be cautious and start on low heat, okay, scary stuff. I know, let's stay with me, we're going to make some crinkled foil sheets to lay the hair on in the oven, so it doesn't lay directly on top of a hot rack or a pan. These will conduct little heat set the oven to 220. To start with, on my test batch, I had six bundles in the oven at 220 for somewhere between two to three hours. This took a lot longer on the final batch to dry, with this much hair in the oven and all the steam and the water trapped in the foil. I started at 220, but I ended up slowly. Creeping. The oven up to 260 definitely do not go higher than 260 or you will burn your hair also be sure to open the door frequently to let out steam. If you think your hair is done, take out a bundle and let it cool for 10 minutes if it feels dry at that point, you're good to go. If you take out all the hair, and some of it still ends up being moist lay the moist curled in a compact shape like they were in the foil, but not stretched out, and it should hold shape when it dries. While I here is cooking, let's prep our wig cap in our head draw your hair line onto the wig cap, I'm using a random makeup cram. So, in the end, I can just remove any of the drawn hair line that ends up showing and just remove it with a makeup wipe mark the center of your head and trace around your ears. I always forget to trace the ear part now we're going to prep the head with parchment paper, just like we do in my other tutorials use any means necessary to get it on and stable hot glue will not stick to the paper. Nor will tape for that matter. Hence this is why it looks like a mess. Pin your wig cap on and you're good to go. Our hair is cooked. Here'S our first super ramen, curl super Romany, super springy and here's what it looks like come down, but don't comb out your hair just yet construction time. Take your first section. Remove the string and make a nice even cut, come lots of glue into the center and use the tip of the gun to help melt the edges of the hair and get everything contained found out your section into flat one and a half to two inch sections And apply to the caps use the bamboo skewer to press it in and roll the skewer away to release it. This whole process is a lot trickier with pre curled hair, so just be patient. The base layer here I'm doing right now are my original test strand. I cut six inches off the green so that when I trim the whole leg on the bottom, it would still be yellow if you're, making your wig a solid color feel free to do all the cutting at the end, if not consider cutting back at least the First layer of hair take this layer all the way around, but try and stop about two inches or so before the hairline and ear area. After that, comb, the hair out and tease it with circular motions like this. This should be the most heavily teased layer and we'll give your wig the most lift apply your second one. Just like you did the first. This one shouldn't need as much teasing now we should be starting the hairline before we add any more layers, but before that, I'm going to give you another option. But I present to you the original Afro. She has a solid hairline like the one we're about to do, but this one has a part. I kept the hair that's attached to the part extra long, so I could pull it neatly back behind my ears and then tie it under the Afro to keep it in place to prevent holes from showing up on top. It'S all about gluing, the hair in the right direction. You can see how to make a clean part in my last week, tutorial I'll, have a link in the description and probably at the end of the video. Alright, let's get back to this hairline glue, your hair above the drawn hairline and let it dry secure, lift the hair and place a new line of glue, just above the drawn hairline we're going to pull the hair up and then pull it towards the hairline. With a bamboo skewer, so it dries with a nice edge when you attach a neighboring piece and use the bamboo skewer in both hair sections at once, so that hair line matches after you've completed this layer. Put another row behind this layer for coverage after the hairline. Has done in build continue building up, I kept my layers about two inches apart and then made them closer together, as I got towards the top. Alas, I ran out of my six packs of hair, but never fear we're not even going to see this part once all done finished, combing out all the hair and comb it back. You can't really feel what's going on here, but I'm trimming the layers that were too long. Sorry about it all right now that you've got some kind of giant root ball there, let's scale it. Ideally, you want three hands for this, but I guess we'll just have to make do take a large brush and comb and stretch the hair upwards hit it with hairspray then hit it with a blow dryer on full blast with warm heat you can get away with Using hot heat on the hair, but be careful, it will soften the glue on the hairline and it might lift it right now. The goal here is to get the hair out of the face blow drying it with warmer hunt will also lightly straighten your hair and make it shinier. Take the hairline layers behind the first layer and then tease them towards the hairline to get them to mix up hairspray and add heat when desired. If that hole on the top has been filled, this wig could have gotten even more height from here on tease and get whatever volume you need. The rest of the styling is better off done on your own head and now she's done. I pinned down some of the places out of the decoration on top to keep that section back and we're done. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. I hope it's worth the wait. I hope you go enjoy the rest that the tilt angle verse has to offer I'll see you next time.

Thank you and GOD (or whatever you believe in) bless you.

Rosie Doodles: This and the LSD trip lampshade are my faves you've done

Morris Bettah: As a friendly tip you can crochet the hair into the lace to make a not so harsh hair line

Luci Dream: I made a similar looking wig by buying a long straight wig, braiding it, boiling it, drying it, brushing it out. Saves time with the whole glueing part.

J C: The pins are Corsage pins. You can get a pack of a hundred and something on Amazon for 5-7 bucks.

VeryMerryMika: OMG YES PLZ HELP ME: I've never made a wig, but I want to start using biodegradable materials (which would be cotton, hemp, or silk).

I can't find a ton of info on using these materials.

MsCherade9: So basically I'm making a doll wig, in the exact same way but in human scale? I must admit, I'd much rather knot and stitch the hair to the wig cap, I want wigs that will last a lifetime, especially with how clumsy I am with styling!
