Proverbs 18:10. The name of the Lord, is like a strong tower, the righteous run into him and they are safe. Hey guys welcome to part three of my lace frontals series. If you're watching this, that means you have successfully bleached your knots. You have dyed all of your hair. My hair is a cute cute, red color and you've dyed your frontal. All of that, and then you have shampooed and conditioned that mug along with moisturizing it you have also customized and squeezed like dang girl. You did it all. It is now time dun dun dun, to make the wig don't be afraid. You got this, we made it this far together. I suggest you use a spandex dome cap there beginner-friendly and there also my favorite. I also suggest you don't use this beauty supply elastic band. It'S a weak. I will stick to my Walmart one. Thank you very much. This tool I got from Sally's is also great. It helps hold the mannequin head up. It was six dollars and it's easier than making a leg in your lap. That'S the mannequin head I'll be using. I only put this on camera because it was pretty make sure you have multiple needles and plenty of thread. Lastly, we'll meet this white makeup pencil and then some clamps to just hold the hair and control. I am using unis here from Aliexpress. I have a 13 by 4 ear to ear frontal and Brazilian body waste bundles and 26, 24, 22 and 20 baby. That'S the last time. I have to say that but Yama's put on the cap and make sure those two lines are aligned in the front, then I'm going to take the frontal and position it to where I wanted to be on my head now, no matter how big or small your Head is a frontal is meant to fit everyone, so I'm going to put the hair behind my ear, where I want my sideburns to be and then using that white makeup pencil I'm going to make a marking on the cap where my ear and the frontal meet. I did that to both sides and you want to make sure they meet up. Then I'm going to form a little ponytail with a frontal on my head and I'm going to mark where you know the frontal has its end in the middle of my head. So I can know where to sew it. In now you're going to put the cap on the mannequin and you're going to align those white dots together. Then you're going to take a tee, pin and you're going to pin those white lines down everywhere and at this point the frontal should lie down flat. It usually works out perfectly. I used about five pins all around the head. Now the front is going to look weird, okay, it's supposed to look weird if it should not be flat at all. It'S going to have this little weird. You know flappy flap in the front and that's okay. Once you've got all that engineering mathematics, you know proportioning done. The hard part is over and you're ready to start sewing. I'M basically just sewing the front fold down and removing the pins as I go after I make sure the frontal is sewn tightly down the cap. I'M going to add my longest bundle to the ends and I'm going to sew along the perimeter of the cap. It should make like a smile shape, I'm double tracking, because I don't do the flip over message where you like so from end to end and flip. It over every time I cut my Wes. I have no shame in cutting my wife and I double track my tracks because ain't nobody got time to be here all day. This, like I, just want this wig made and slayed right, so I'm double tracking and when I get to the ends, I'm going to cut the left and then on every end, I'm going to put single in one two who a3y on everything the Tootsie Pop commercial. Okay, am I am i old yet please come oh yeah, I'm going to put it in multiple times, just to make sure it's down and flat, and then I'm going to tie a knot and cut the thread. Then i'ma start, you know going in the other direction. With some more weave and just repeat the same process, if you are a beginner, let me help you take this t, pin and you're going to pin the hair down to where you want it sewn. How does this help? You may ask? Well, if I'm swinging four bundles into a wig right, I, like my West, to be one finger apart. If I have three bundles, maybe one and a half to two fingers apart but yeah if you're a wig maker, you know how to portion hair out, but I noticed that baby wigmaker's like newly starting with makers. They always make the hair like uneven. So to make sure your proportion of the hair right just pin it down to where you want it sewn and then take out the pins as you sew. This is how the wave looks after I've sewn in one bundle. If you want to try on the wig and see how far you've come feel free to do that, like nobody's watching you to be perfect, I always put the wig on to make sure that you know I'm not running out of space or sewing the West too. Close together with the first bundle, we went in a smileyface motion but as you've gone with, that second bundle you're going to want to try to straighten out that smile a little bit, because when we get to the final two or one bundle. However much you have, you want it to be like going straight across the wave horizontally. So, with this second bundle, as you can see, I'm sewing in that same smiley face pattern. But when I get to the peak of the smile here, I'm not going to tilt it upward to continue the smile, I'm going to tilt it a little downward and I'm going to end up cutting it short so yeah. Once I got to the end, I cut it and I attached it again and started moving in the opposite direction, and I did the same thing to the other side. I'M sewing in a way that kind of follows that smile, but I'm straightening out a little bit. So that I can go in flatter with the next bundle, so now I've gone into my third bundle and, as you can see, the smile is kind of going away. It'S starting to become a straight line that will eventually go in the same direction as the frontal. So I'm going to just keep sewing end to end and cut it. When I get to that, I don't know what to call it, but a smile. Well, I'm going to cut it as soon as I get to where the smile meet, and then I have now gotten to the last bundle and now that there's only a little space between the friends on the tracks, I'm going to single track it so that it Can be flat and seamless you're going to take your scissors and you're going to cut off that excess piece of cap where the frontal was not sewn down and you're not going to cut too close to the thread. Because, then, everything will unravel and your whole life will fall on the floor seriously. So take your time when cutting as well so once up with a frontal on I'm going to cut off any GG hot guy. That is itching my ear all that extra lace, I'm just cut off, and I don't make extra. You know piece for my sideburns. I kind of just let the front will take its course. Naturally, now I'm going to sew the elastic band on to where the frontal meets the cap, it's going to go in the same direction. Like start semicircle like the cap does. As for the length, I just make sure it's very tight. I don't really take a specific measurement. I just make sure it goes from ear to ear behind my head and I sew it on to both ends. So we just did the impossible. We just played a frontal wig, see that wasn't so bad now, it's time to install it see um part for me. Mother would be my job put beanie mother, I'm calling I'm calling I'm crying six o'clock in the morning. Till mi6 lie on it. I'M calling I'm calling, I bet uncle

truMonada: THANK YOUUUU. I've been doing my own hair ever since I entered college just to cut cost, but every time I make a frontal wig I get discouraged and frustrated because sewing down the frontal perfectly and gauging how it will sit on my head always takes me hours, literally. But you broke it down in a way that makes so much sense that a lot of people tend to skip over when making their tutorials. You honestly helped tremendously because I was so close to throwing in the towel and just paying to get my frontal wigs made.

Lovey Dean: I have a couple questions I hope someone is able to answer for me...1st of all, GREAT VIDEO!!! you are such a pretty beautiful woman and your wigs are amazing!well heres my questions..1st of all I have alopecia areata and its is 100% stress related, however this time of year it gets 10x worse then any other time. Im starting to get noticeable bald spots that are just becoming impossible to cover. Its been 15 years since I wore a wig and even though I have often dreamed about making my own wigs so people like myself didn't have to be uncomfortable in these wigs that look like costume wigs, I never thought about making wigs like you've showed in the video... I have recently started researching how to make my own wig, I 1st bought a wig off amazon and as nice as it is its obvious its not for white people :), which was a bummer bc it looks real and im sure with some tweeking it could really look real.. which brings me to my 1st question, Can you cut up a full wig and make your own wig? like could I buy a wig in my color and cut it to make my frontal and stuff?2nd question... Is there a difference in ones ethnicity? I have always been amazed how dark skinned women do their hair and how real it always looks but I always felt like bc Im white I wouldn't be able to get the same realistic look..3rd.. I been trying to order hair online, seeings how this is going to be my 1st wig, I want to go cheap incase it doesn't work out or I mess up. Im not sure of the proper words to use when looking for everything I need. I can pull up hair bundles but it just tells me the length and not how wide the sew line is from end to end, so how do I find that out or are the a standard width? Also what about the frontals and closures? I found a pack of 3 bundles but how do I find a frontal to match? can you make your own frontal out of bundle pieces?Thanks again for the video, Im sorry my post is so long, its just really important to me to try and get this done asap so that I can comfortably leave my house without worrying about bald spots showing and stuff.. I have to send this one wig back but I do have a second one that's closer to my color and I was thinking about taking it apart to make my own bc at the forehead area, if I pull the wig back a little where it looks like it should go, then you can see part of my bang area and a little bald spot but if I pull the wig front to cover it then it looks super fake and way to thick... please help!!
Goddess Anese: You got me feeling invincible lol I can't wait to make mine.
Adanma Nwachuku: question! do you customize the lace frontal before or after you sew the wig? im just a little confused on how you got it to lay secure in part 2!
MsDyri: You were the ONLY person to thoroughly explain the PLACEMENT of the tracks. Thank you so much for that, it cleared up a lot of my confusion and the mistakes I kept making when trying to make my own wig. Girl you A1
Nadene Sunflower: Hey I was just wondering if you have any tips for the last track before the frontal. I always end up having to strategically hide that track because the last few straight lines show and aren’t not covered to much by my lace frontal. Any tips?? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong!
