Take out my flaky rising stuff cuz, my have will be cute, I let it go. It'S gon na be real cute. There'S no reaction. You get this out the way, a minute, it's a mime grade. Why is my Brady shown? Let me think this one, I'm not leaning in coming up, I know ah-oh week is a new day. So can that ever happen to y'all, like you were doing your hair and you make sure you buy weed like yes, girl, my you part wig is tight. I'M bout to put this thing: oh it's cute, but I love a blob and then all of a sudden you realize that your your wig isn't as tight as it was or it just didn't fit from the beginning. Cuz. Your cat was down here. We'Re gon na fix that right now, like take my breath and say this matte blue bow we're gon na fix that right now, so I'm going to show you guys what I would do to access tighten this u-part wig, because I know if it happened to me It definitely happened to y'all too so definitely say something I'll show you guys how I just quickly tighten it up and definitely make sure that it's nice and secure so family, so I'm basically just going to start by taking off my week. Some basics are just going to cut all the thread around there and CSIS loosened up to here. So once you cut that first thread, it'll just go for the most part. We take it off in you guys see on my Brady's or whatever. So that's still pretty tight um I've had it braided up for like a week and a half or two so yeah. So here's my! U part wig right here, you guys can see. This is the inside of the weight and here doesn't really appear to be too. You know to lose, but you never know until you get on your head, so I'm going to start by placing it where I had before. Of course, before start slipping and y'all know where your wig is a lot of times, even if you did the smaller dome cap, you have like a lot of space like in this middle part, so it's a little bit like Spacey in there. So what I'm actually going to do is I purchased some elastic from the fabric so a while ago um, I was gon na start making my own clothes that didn't work, but I have this one: the elastic bands - and this one is the one-inch normal elastic. So this is the one that I have now this one is pretty thick. I may have different ones, but this is the one that I prefer the thicker ones. So basically you would take one of these on missus stretchy bands. You can see just regular lastik and what I typically like to do is measure it around my head, like from where the wig starts a about here to the end of it right so I'll. Take that and I'm stretching it just a little bit, y'all Josie y'all can see because you want to make sure it's not the exact length, not stretched, because that way, it's not going to make it tight so I'll take it from here to here. Like I say, it's still stretching it a little bit and once I have that basically just go ahead and take your scissors and cut that. So I have my first strip and then just for extra security. I'M going to take one and also put it back here. So my wig star here and it ends about here and, like I said destruction just a little bit to get a little bit of tension on there and we want to cut that as well. So it's about this one just keep in mind and baby different of everybody's head, so I was almost right, so this is actually 13 inches like 13 and a half inches. Actually, this one is oh, my gosh. I was all off this. One is eight and a half, so that's this one, so I'm taking the both of these two strips and just to make sure that I have it market the exact place that I stand before, because once you take the wig off, like anything can happen, you can Forget your place or whatever, but I'm just going to take a mark and mark it here with my NYX pencil and also take that and mark it here. Then there also same thing at the bottom. I had it about here. Next, I want to bring it down a little bit lower so just market about here and about there. So just beneath, like my ear, somebody's are just going to take it and sew it onto this cap. So what I'm going to do is basically snug start from the bottom and, let's see, and I've never really matter which one you have it on, so I'm basically going to start from this bottom hat. So this is how the final product looks. So I have a smaller band, the bottom and large, a man at the top, and then one side stretches so come out and you can go to this this bottom. One is a lot tighter than this column because it's toddler remember circle wrap their head like so so hopefully you guys can see here you see like here when I have to buy slightly stretch it so perfect. I can totally fit awesome. So just stretch it around here and like so this middle part feels so bring like. I wish I hate like see. The little pocket is not Gabby and all like it was before so, basically just to finish it out. I'M just going to go ahead and throw that around, so you guys can see this now. This is the way it's supposed to look. I like that much better. Now then fit so much better. It'S nice and tight to my head. So if no map no spacing is in here and uncle so guys if you love a tutorial, remember to like it below and also comment, if you have any additional questions that I left out as well as subscribe, we're going to have some more great videos coming For you guys, so thanks so much for watching and now I can safely it nicely blessing ride.
