Cheap D.I.Y Drag Wig Tutorial #5 ~ Yarn Wig

Hi, I'm Mona Damien when I'm not funneling my anxiety into selling an impractical garnet, I'm bringing you with tutorials like I am now. That was a pretty good impression right. All right, so I'm gon na always makes wigs and I'm like I mean like look at it. I could do it so today we're gon na make this yarn wig, I mean like this is like topanga's real hair, but, like she doesn't work wings, but she could. She wouldn't have like an identity crisis or anything. I think we're not the boss of me, but you know what do they say new hue new you so you're gon na need some things. Do the spinning front one you need some cardboard bobby pins pearl crocodile clips. Bamboo school looks like we remembered everything, good job. So before we get started, let me say there are many many ways to do this. So, let's get a little recap. This is topanga's original wig, which has been styled ten bazillion times. This is how it was styled before I undid everything for this video. I wanted to make a new wig in the classic Topanga style, so we're doing a super basic hair line on an elastic cap. If you wanted to do a sculpted hair line like this on a lace cap check out my other wig tutorials for the construction technique, because the yarn goes on just like the hair, so here's our elastic wig cap follow the edge of your cap and measure how Wide you want your hair, lined the wider, the better coverage wise, but keep in mind we'll be gluing directly. On top of the elastic area for the hairline and you'll lose stretch, plus the caps run a little tight, get a ballpark number for how long you want your hair. Now on to the yarn, so I've cut a couple layers of cardboard the length I want. My hair to be, and then I tape them all together, we'll be winding the yarn around it in case. You never knew to do this because I didn't you need to find the Strand where the yarn starts from the inside of this kind gain. However, you say that not the outside this will help keep the yarn from rolling everywhere on the floor, while you're unwinding it now start winding, cut it away and cut it in half. Now you have hair for this wig. I ended up using three skeins of the main color and one of each accent now we'll get our wig block ready the same way as always cover your wig block and parchment paper to prevent the glue from sticking to it. Pin it tape it whatever it to get it to stay down. Then put your wig cap on inside out this time, I'm marking the center and pinning where the hair lines begin and end take a clump of yarn and make an even cut pump. The end full of hot glue and on the hairline use a bamboo skewer to press in the yarn and oh hi, elbow hi use a bamboo skewer to press in the yarn and roll it away to release. Now you have half a hairline. Take the cap off and flip it back to right-side out alright. I did this part in the wrong order, so we're gon na fast forward real quick, double up and do one more layer across the hairline on this side. This will give you all the coverage you need for when you put your hair up all right now back to where we were we're. Gon na use the same technique to apply the yarn all over the cap in rows. I keep them spaced one and a half to two inches on the back and maybe about an inch apart on the front. You'Ll see more detail when you style it. So let's be through this. So when you wear this you'll most likely never see the top ones. That styled, but for continuity sake, I'm closing the top width apart once you feel things in and get two sections butted up fairly close to each other pump, some blue in the space in between them and pinch it together with skewers while it dries. You can also see how to better make a part in wig tutorial number. Two. Congratulations. You have a mop. Let me do a little hair toss for you. Alright, now the part you've been waiting for till paying us how to braid a terrible mess tutorial. So I didn't get the right angles to thoroughly show you how to style this. So I'm gon na show you the techniques. First, on the other wig separate a couple rows of yarn on the hairline, take a small section and start braiding in the direction you want to go as you braid when you get to the outer strand, weave another small strand from the hairline into it. This will make your braid slowly grow and anchor it along the hairline. As you get further along, you can take other strands from the opposite side and we into your braids to help change the direction or anchor it to finish it off use either a section of the braid or another section of yarn in the same area to wrap Around and loop through itself, you can use this technique all over the wig in various ways to bridge sections, build height or shape an area. So here's one more example start a new braid near the end of the old one, using two new sections of yarn and one chunk of the old braid braid. It tight to pull things back finish it off by looping, one of the longer braid sections tada. I also made these cinnamon bun things, take a section of hair and twist it roll it up in the direction that naturally wants to go. I'M using these long pearl pins to temporarily hold it into place, because there are a lot easier to slide in than straight pins. Put in the straight pins after and take your pearl pins out. The straight pins just take more effort to get through because of the blunt ends tuck in any messy parts, with more straight pins and voila. Those are the basic techniques I use to style. The wig now kick back and enjoy the time lapse of the final product. Yeah, I think that's it. I hope you liked the tutorial be sure to LIKE and subscribe I'll see you next time, bye.
