How To Turn Your U-Part Wig Into A Versatile Headband Wig

Hi, ladies welcome back to my channel for all those that don't know me, my name is laura, and today i will be bringing to you how to turn your u-part wig into a headband. Wig first you'll need your needles. You'Ll need a headband. You'Ll need some velcro, because when you cut the headband, you want to seal it on the back. You'Ll need a pair of scissors and, of course, you'll need a u-port wig. However, what it is from you, nice - and nowhere is this sponsored. This is me so in this package i received a cute little bag new headband. This is cute. That'S cute. I already see some lashes. The casing is cute nice. In this package i also received some nail wraps. I dropped those a wig cap. Look at her face. Why she looking like that, so that was all in here. None of that put that over here. Most importantly, you see how you pull it. Yes, it's cute nice, i'm going to comb it down. First thing you want to do just cute make sure the lighting is good. First thing you want to do on your. U part, is you want to cut your straps, but has two combs up here, comb here, two combs on the side and we have a comb down here. We have some bands that holds it together. So first thing we're going to do is we're gon na move. The hair out the way and make sure you don't cut the track and we're gon na cut the band there. You have it it's open like this, so this is why i figure hey: why not make a hear being weak instead of a you part, because that's what's out, let's get our trusty over here man, i'm gon na use a wide headband for this method. I got this from my local beauty store, i'm going to cut it on the stitch, but first before we cut that we're going to put it on, but when we sew it we're going to sew it on the stitch across the top. So you want to make sure that the stitch here is towards the back, so you want to make sure that's in the back first. This is my girl carmen she's, going to be allowing me to demonstrate with her today. So we put this on so yeah man carmen, and you want to flip it like that. Why? Because this is the stitch you're going to be using to sew, so you want to make sure you have it where you need to be we're going to take this wig, our u-part wig, and we're going to secure it on carmen's head. Because that's how you part go, but we're gon na go ahead and stitch this on the reason for cutting it. First, i took it off. Carmen'S head is so that i can get it on. I didn't cut it directly on the line because i wasn't sure if it was going to pull all the way apart so boom there you have it. Let me go ahead and i'm gon na stitch. It make sure it's evened out and this is the center and this is the center and i'm going to go ahead and stitch it right. What i did was got the centers connected, so i make sure there's enough space on each side make sure i got it. Centered, where i needed to be karma's going to come down this in my lap, so y'all can see a little bit and i'm not reaching too far bring this down there we go so we can see what we doing i'm grabbing the band. Remember you don't want to grab it like that, so i'm going to grab the band like this in the tip of the uh wig and sew the two together. I'Ve secured the other one side. Now i'm going in securing the other side, i still have the needle hanging in on this side because i'm using i'm starting at the top again and going over to the other side, just making sure that i have enough material on both sides. You i'm finished stitching the cap, alongside of the u-part wig and from where i cut the headband at i stitched that side closed already i'll show you how to do that on the other side, and the reason why that i use the black band is so that You able to i'm able to cover the black band with a stylish hair band. You know of your choice. You know a lot of ladies. We wear u-port, wigs and the top of our heads. Our hair be thinning because you always got ta keep it pressed, keep it curl, whatever you do to make your? U part wig blend in so see i stitched it and then closed and then now i'm just going to finish stitching it alongside of the u-part wig. Basically, i just added this headband to this wig. This wig is already secure. It has its own combs, it has its own little latch in the back and i'm just adding the headband to turn it into the headband wig. So now you can add other hair bands on top of it for style for color when you use a black headband or you can wear it with just a black headband see how this part i have it open. So now i'm getting ready to stitch. This part closed. Let me just take a needle, that's why i have all my needles, prepped and ready. You want to make sure that remember. I opened up the stitch because i'm stitching along this side along it. However, when you want to close, you have to remember to close the headband back the way it was in order to stitch it closed. So, that's why i stitch it closed before i finish off, because i want to make sure i crease it back the way it was like that that it leads straight across the top. So that's why i didn't finish all the way down here i go in and i close this part back up and then i go back in along the edge and continue to stitch the headband onto the. U part, wig, i'm still stitching the part where i cut. I could have just did it the simple way and just went on in like this like you're kneading and just pulled it all through. I still want to make sure that it's closed because you're wearing it on top of your head. So you want to make sure you have that extra double stitch of security come back around to the edge and continue down the side of the wig. Get my needle to the head over here! That'S why i have so many needles. I have my needles threaded and ready so that i don't have to keep threading the needle. I just start a needle here have a hang and then go in to another needle and actually just think i was going to send this wig back, but you know what i was like. Let me just keep this wig and make a video and make it a headband wig turn a you part wig into a headband wig. Yes, ladies, that's what i'm saying about turning any wig, you have into a headband wig. This is very popular right now because you know the situation that the united states of america is in. So it's a shortage, probably on lace, and things like that. So you know, ladies, you got they got, they must have they not got to, but must have the hair done. So we have got to come up with other alternatives, and you know we very we get stuff together jack. You see how i'm taking the stitch that i had here and i'm making sure i get it alongside here, so that it's not sticking out.
