How To Add Elastic Band On Frontal Wig | Detailed Talk Through

Hi you guys first off, you will need your soft measuring tape, so you can take your measurements. You will need to measure from the top of your ears down through your nape area, where your last band will lay to the top part of your other ear. Please make sure that your measurement starts right at the top of your ear and not to go past your earlobe towards your hairline or two, but too far back behind your earlobe. As you can see now, I'm making sure my tape is laying flat and everything is positioned correctly. Once you have your placement correct, just hold your finger on your measurement, as you see me doing now, so you don't lose track of it. Now that that's done it's time to get the elastic band ready to cut the whole purpose of an elastic band is for extra security and to help your Leila, your lace lay flatter, so we don't want to cut the elastic band with our original hip measurement. Instead, we will subtract one inch and cut there, so since my measurement was nine and a half, we will cut it down to eight and a half. All I'm doing now is measuring the tape and folding it at eight and a half inches and then cutting it. I find that cutting it and in shorter makes it tight enough to do its job and not give me a tension, headache. Okay, so this is a frontal unit. I will be adding the elastic band on today. Yes, I may hurt myself and I make custom way. So if you are interested, I will leave the link in the bio check out for you to check out in this next step. I'M about to show you a little trick to help prevent you from sewing the elastic band in the wrong spot. I know a lot of people. The biggest problem is the band being in an uncomfortable spot or being positioned in a way that it doesn't help. Most. Your frontal lace lips - all I do - is put on the wig and take some of my tailors chalk or you can use whatever you have available like white, eyeliner and you'll need to do, and all you need to do is draw a line right above the top Of your ears, where the measurement was previous previously taken from the elastic band, the line doesn't have to be perfect. It was just act as a guide when sewing now in this last step. You will need your needle and thread your scissors and, of course, the elastic band previously measured and cut. We will now use the marks we made as a general guide where to place our elastic bands. Please do not directly place the elastic band on a line you may and start sewing, because the direction of the band is going downwards, which may cause your frontal to lay weird okay, since let me explain, you want the band's to be in line with your nape, So in this case, since this is a mesh dome gap, I will simply line up the elastic band that I just measured and cut with the band. That'S already part of the wig cap and that's when I'll use the mark. I made it's a placement guide before sewing. Once you got your elastic band position, you can proceed with sewing. Please be careful while sewing. You don't want to tear your lace now on to the next side. You'Re pretty much doing the same thing. You just did another sideline everything up with the band part of the wig lined up to the mark. You made with the tailors chalk and you will begin to sew okay now, so everything is sewn and I'm just showing you the elastic band being in line with the nape area. Okay, so now I'm going to try the wig on so make sure everything fits like. I want it to and also to show you all the results. I can tell immediately from putting the wig on that. The frontal part at the top of my hairline fit more snug and helped. It lay flatter. However, as you can see, the flaps still flapping, but that's expected because the wig this wig in particular, was it made to be fully glueless in the first place. Now I'm just showing you the elastic band and safely tucked behind my ears, so it's nice and out of the way for when you cut the cut off the excess lace around your ears.
