How To Properly Crochet Your Wig Cap Ft Trendy Tresses

Hi guys automats my channel, it's Andy slays here so today I have a solange inspired crocheting for you, and I know this tutorials late again. I'M just gon na leave my whole schedule to 2019 because I'm just all over the place like I've, even ran out of equipment, so I'm currently restock in because I need lace, I need dome caps. I need nit pickers, etcetera, etc, but anyways. So today's topic is spacing: I'm gon na show you how I spaced out the hair when I'm crocheting my wig cap in order to avoid any of the wake up, showing once I finish, making the wig so to demonstrate this. I'M gon na be using curly hair and this same method can be applied with a straight hair. But if you want to see me do a separate straight hair video, then just let me know so when it comes to making a curly wig. I wouldn't recommend that you use too much lace, there's just no point, because it has basically like an afro. You know you're only gon na be able to part it in one place anyway. So don't use too much lace. It needs its tiny bit like I am, and I decided to go for the Y shape, because I want the front to look as much as possible, but I don't want to do too much for insulating in the middle part, so it just works best for me. So, after that, I turn it back the right way round, and then I cut the part of the wig cap that I no longer need just be careful not to cut off any of your lace when you're doing this so the lace. I decided to use this time is not the same lace I normally use. Normally, I use Aliexpress with lace for wig making and that's the best place. I'Ve ever used ties the one that I used today was from my hair shop and it was terrible like I hated it. It kept ripping and so go for that Express phase, but I'll do a whole video on that another time. So the hair that I use today is from Trinity tresses and it's their free-spirited curls and the color light brown ombre, and it's only ten inches long and I only use four packs. So each pack comes with a three sections of hair that you're gon na need to separate, so I'll show you how it separates it in the next clip. But can we just deep how nice this hombre it's like? It'S not just dip dye, it's actually ombre! So to separate the hair first, I cut off about an inch off the end and the reason I do this is because the ends are really packed together, like they basically start together. So it makes it difficult to separate so I'd recommend you cutting that off. Just to make it easier for you and then I run my fingers through the ends so on each end. I'Ll just run my finger through it just to loosen the hair up a little bit and then, after that I'll work, my fingers up to the middle and then separates it from the middle, and that way you you just save yourself a lot of hair. It just won't get too tangled and yeah, just save yourself a lot of hassle right. So this is the outline that I like to use when I am crocheting and my wig cap. So it's basically the BRIT clinging outline. You might be familiar with it if you've had box braids, but I just feel as though this outline allows me to hide the wig cap, underneath, whilst also packing in as much hair as I need to to make. My wig fall now be sure to not pack in too much hair, or else your wig will end up looking bulky, so you have to find like a middle ground between spacing and how much hair you use. So when it comes to crochet in the back of your wig cap do not use too much hair. The reason why I say this is because the hair in the front of your big cap is going to cover the back. So just don't pack it in too much or it's gon na be too bulky, and it's just not gon na look natural. It won't fall naturally, and it's just gon na look weird soon. When it comes to the back of your wig cap, don't pack in too much hair right. So, as you can see, I use really really small pieces of hair and, as I get closer to the top of my wig, the pieces are gon na keep getting smaller and smaller and also in terms of the spacing. The spaces are also gon na get smaller and smaller. So when you're at the back of your wig cap, I recommend you use bigger, spacing, but not too big, I would say like centimeter to two centimeter spacing and as you get closer to the top, make it smaller and smaller. So I would recommend that you use small pieces of hair because it just makes the wig look more natural and the nuts will not be detectable. I only do 1 knots and it's secured and it just doesn't move like once. I'Ve knotted it. It won't come out if I want to take you out. I have to cut it out. So keep this in mind when you're crocheting your wig cap, it's easier for you to add hair onto you'll wake up than it is for you to take care out. If you want to take her out, you're gon na have to cut it out or risk ripping your wig cap, which is not something I'd recommend right. So the makeup that I used today has this halfway mark and I've never used this type of wig cap. Before this is like from my hair shop and waiting for Miley Express wants to get here, so I can go back to normal, but this halfway and I was actually really helpful. So if yours has it once you reach this halfway line, that's when I would start marking out the top section of your wig cap. So I'm just gon na repeat that and show you exactly what I did so I get some concealer and then I mark around the perimeter of the lace. I always mark about an inch and a half, and that is where I will start basically packing the hair. In so up until that line, you can still freely ventilate using the bricklaying method. You can still do you know one to two centimeter spacing, but once you get to that top section, that's when you have to start packing it's in and if your wakeup already has guides eyes on either side. It makes it so much easier. Also make sure the line that you draw is a u-shape, because that way, the hair that we ventilate on the top will fall nicely onto the bottom section of your wig cap right. So once you reach that line, you can crochet it and when I'm crocheting the line, I only like half a centimeter spacing between each piece of hair and, like I said, the pieces of hair will keep getting smaller and smaller, so yeah all right. So I did one half of the wig off-camera and, as you can see, we have the middle parts and the wig cap underneath is undetectable. So I'm going to show you exactly how I did this on the other side right. So when it comes to crochet in this little use section, I use really small pieces of hair. I still use the Bricklin method. However, the rows of hair are really close to each other. I would say like half a centimeter, so you need to pack the hair in make sure to use small pieces of hair small spaces so that your wig will not be too bulky. We do not want the top of our wig to be bulky because it's gon na look like a hill and it's just gon na look weird right. So now we've reached the smooth transition section and I always like to crochet through both the wig cap and the lace, to basically give me a smooth transition. So make sure to do this so that your wig cap looks natural and so that we can't tell where the wig cap starts and where the lay starts right. So after we finished this, we can basically go on to ventilating and to ventilate trying gets really small sections like I know this hair is curly. I know it's thick, so getting one or two hair strands is basically impossible, but try your hardest. That way. Your middle part will come out as natural-looking as possible right when it comes to spacing on the lease. Once again, we don't want to pack it in too much or else it's gon na look bulky. So I try and do three rows of ventilating on each side of my middle parts and the number of rows you do is gon na be based on how much lace you have so. I only did three rows on each side, because I only use a tiny bit of lace, but when I got closer to the front of my lace where the y-shape opens up, I did about six on either side and yet now, when it comes to ventilating straight Wigs now I don't even think about a part. I just bent a randomly and then after I finished ventilating, that's when I'll pop my wig and I feel like it looks the most natural that way so now to style the wig. I just basically cut some of the hair in the front. As you can see, the wig looks nice and full now with curly wigs. It will shrink like trust me. The cause will end up gathering together and it will just get smaller. So I am gon na. Be doing updates on all of my wigs, so you guys will see how they look now. I'Ve had some of them for like almost two years, and I think you guys should see exactly what they look like. So, to start the hair I just put some got to be hair, mousse um onto the hair, and then I also get my hair dryer to fit on the top a little bit, because I really like my wigs to be flat at the top. I just I just like it to look natural right, so I also forgot to add that I don't lay this week. I literally just leave a bit of my natural hair out in the front and it just looks natural that way so yeah right. So that's pretty much it for the video. I hope everything I said was helpful and just remember that when it comes to making your crochet wig, you are in control of the construction of this wig. So for me it took me a while to figure out exactly how I like to make my crochet wigs, so I hope my videos help you. You know, I hope they act as a guideline for you to find exactly how you like to make your crochet wig. So, thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video and how did I say,
