So before we get into this video, I just wanted to address this before everyone goes crazy in the comments., My edges look a little bit shiny.. I think that I used too much of the freeze spray or I did not let my edges dry all the way, but this is not my lace, showing., Hey curlfriends and welcome back to another hair tutorial.. Today, I'm going to show you guys how to make a wig - that's too small larger.. You guys know that I got this unit from UPrettyHair about 2 weeks ago and it came in the size. One Size Fits All.. We all know that my head is not one size fits all., So I thought that I would give you guys this quick little hack.. It requires very minimal, sewing skills., You can hand sew this.. So if you don't know how to sew, you might want to learn just for this quick little tip.. It'S really not that complicated. Today. All that you're going to need is some extra elastic. Some scissors need and the finest amount of thread that you can find.. I believe the one that I'm using is Polyester. It's polyester or Nylon. I think. I got these threads a very long time ago., But we're pretty much just going to enlarge our cap.. The back of our cap has these straps.. If your wig or your unit does not have these straps, this may not work for you., But most units come with the two bra-looking straps in the back.. They can be readjusted. We're going to go ahead and do a little surgery on the unit. Cut it on open and just give ourself some extra elastic. That way we can get that extra stretch and extra circumference to our wig.. As you guys can see. My wig is sitting honey Like its sitting, It's sitting so much better than it did on my initial review video.. I love this unit and I really wanted to wear it, but it was just way too small.. So, If you're ready to make your small wig larger stay tuned for the next few, steps. Go ahead and grab your lace, frontal or full lace wig.. This is a frontal that I'm going to show you guys today. It had 4 combs total.. I felt like the combs were just extremely uncomfortable, so I'll be removing those., But most of our adjusting will be right here in the nape, where these two bra-looking straps are in the nape of our wig.. They have this little elastic. That gives you extra stretch in the back. We're going to make that stretch pretty much permanent.. In my personal opinion, the clips themselves take up some room in the cap as well. Its a really small cap. One size fits all like I told ya'll., So I just felt like they were unnecessary.. They were extremely uncomfortable because the wig was already too small., But, as you guys can see here, I just left one comb.. Now we're going to go ahead and begin our steps to add the elastic. Unhook one side of the straps.. You guys will see how much stretch we'll get from this. We're going to make that stretch permanent. Its going to give us a lot more room in the wig.. As you guys can see, the fabric is folded and everything. Theres tons of extra wasted fabric, because this unit is just way too small.. Underneath that strap, you guys will see an extra piece of elastic.. This is what makes it stretch and retract back. We're going to separate that particular strap using a clip of your choice.. You just want to separate it so that you don't cut the wrong thing., I'm going ahead and cutting that splitting it into two.. I'M pretty much. Just going to make that loop longer. I'm going to get a piece of elastic and add it to both sides just to make the loop longer. We're going to start from one side, then move on to the other., I'm grabbing my elastic.. I chose this white elastic because, honestly, that's all I had in my closet right now.. I have to re-up on some supplies., But you guys can use whatever color you want. We're going to split that into two. One for the left side of the cap and one for the right side., I'm threading, my needle, so that we can go ahead and begin. Sewing. But my elastic should be a decent enough size to blend in seamlessly, with the straps that already exist., The large elastic was just way too big.. It wouldn't be able to fit back into the hole. Im going to go ahead and sew down the strap onto one end of the loop that we cut.. I'M just going to go ahead and sew it down.. Now that one side is complete, I'm going to go ahead and move onto the opposite side.. I just want this to lay down nice and flat.. You don't want a whole bunch of bulk and you want to make sure that your elastic is the perfect size, or else you won't be able to stuff this back into the little nook that it was hiding. In. I'm going to go ahead and tie this off and get rid of the excess thread so that we can pretty much create our loop now. To create the loop. I'M just going to flip the elastic that we just added on the right side.. I'M going to flip it over to the right., Lay it on top and just sew that together. Not shut, but together, so that we have that loop again. That was underneath our strap.. Now it's much longer so it won't retract super tight on your head.. It'S pretty much going to be like a looser wig, which was exactly what we were going for. I'm going to go ahead and just secure it on both sides to make sure that everything is nice flat and even on all sides. There we have it. We have our extended long loop., I'm personally not one to flip my units up or wear my hair up, but if you are going to be doing that, you definitely want to get like a black or brown elastic to match your unit so that it doesn't stand. Out. I felt like the white was perfect for a tutorial like this, so that you guys could actually see the difference and whats going on in the tutorial.. I'M just going ahead and tucking. This elastic back down into the bottom of that strap into the little nook. Where it was hiding in the first place., As you guys can see, I can pull that strap and not have a whole bunch of retraction.. As you can see, the left side is where the extra elastic is and the right side is all jumbled up, because it is extremely tight.. I have not done that side. Yet., You guys can see the huge difference.. The left side is much larger and longer that the right side. I want to say that we got an extra inch or two from this method.. I'M going to go ahead and repeat on the opposite side of the unit.. I'M going to go ahead and repeat the exact same steps pulling out the elastic cutting it in half and sewing on the extra elastic to give it more lee-way.. So there you have it guys. Our circumference of our unit is so much larger, so much more open and it sits on your head a whole lot better.. I hope that I helped you guys make your unit. That is too small a lot larger.. I love you guys and I'll see you guys in the next video
Comments
NeliaBedilia: Wow.. what a Godsend. I use to just snip my wigs around the nape to make them fit but this is MUCH more sturdy. Thanks for this!!
Ky Viera: This is so helpful. Like, I genuinely had no idea what I was going to do if my wig didn't fit right for my birthday brunch next Wednesday. Just bought all three necessary supplies & I'll be working on it asap!! Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
sam lopez: New to wearing wigs. And this work perfectly! Thank you so much!
gravityclarity: Wow. My mind is blown! This is SO helpful because I have such a big head (22.5" circumference) and all the cute wigs are always too damn small for my head! Now I can customize them and make them more comfortable. Thank you for this!
Shenise: This video was super helpful and definitely necessary. Thank you for posting this gem!
1Bella Rules: Omg! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Instructions are amazingly simple. I can use a regular sewing needle to do the job. I'm with you, the extra combs inside the wig seem like they take up space and they snag on the wig cap. I'm going to remove the extras as well and leave the one in the back. Thanks again for this tutorial. I'm saving to my "watch later" so I won't have to search again.
Erika Yahchelle 112 ❤️: See? This is what’s up!! I hate having to wait 30 additional days ( or however many) and pay extra cause my head is exactly .5 inches than the biggest cap they make!! Appreciate this!! New sub!!
Je'taun Lynee': This was a life saver! Thank you!
Sarah: Thank you so much for this video! You are a lifesaver! <3
1ycj: I understand this concept on how you extended the sz of the wig, but what about at the ear tabs that won’t come down all the way to the ears on either side?
Oh Lalee: Did everything u said and it worked! My wig fits so much better now and feels so much more comfortable :D tysm! <3
J Jackson: So glad I found this video! I recently just received a wig and it’s to small. This method should help me thanks for making this video!

Avana C Hudgens: If the side of the wig doesn’t reach where my sideburn is, does that mean it’s too small? The front of the wig lace for forehead is perfect. But the side of the wig lace don’t reach my side burn. So this video, can I do what you did & will it help? first time wearing a wig
Anita A: Thank you for this :)
Java Hardge: This is so clutch. You are the real MVP for this. Thank you!!!
Joanne Monique: one size fits no body !! yasss! love the title. I got a wig from Besthairbuy. They won't take back a very expensive wig that does not fit. It is not that it is too big or too small its the adjustable strap inside the wig that hits my ears. It doesn't fit my 8 year old so I know its not me, I think it is just badly made or a bad design.BUt they refuse to accept liability. So I am trying to find a hack.
Judy09: Thanks for the tip!
