Hey guys so, as you can see, we're gon na go ahead and start with a spandex dome. Wig cap go ahead and mark out your parting area and then add a double track to the perimeter of the head. This is just going to help the wig lay flat when you pull it back, it's going to hide all the tracks laying behind it and you'll, see what I'm talking about later on in the video start off by stitching both tracks together and then attach it to The cap, you want to go through the spandex cap and then through both webs and then tie a knot about maybe two to three times it's up to you, the more the better and then you want to go ahead and just stitch the rest of the track. As you normally would, which is just in and out in and out through the spandex cap and underneath both tracks through Hispanics cap and underneath both tracks. But you want to make sure that you avoid sewing through the elastic band. Because if you do that, then your wig won't have much stretch to it at all so be sure not to sew through the elastic band. So let's talk about this wig head that I'm using this is a not a styrofoam wig head. As you can see, this is a canvas wig head that I got from Namie's. They do have a website wtae.com. It will be listed in the description box, but I actually went into the store because there is one out here where I live in California. So I went into the store and purchased me a 22 inch canvas head and I left the plastic on there because that's just gon na protect the head from right there. I was just showing you how it lays flat when you pull it back but yeah. So I left it plastic on my canvas head because it's going to protect it's going to protect it from any build-up, water or a dirt, and you definitely want to keep your canvas block with wig head clean, especially if you're gon na. If you plan on keeping it for a long time, which is obviously what I plan on doing so, yes, the plastic is just to protect. It help keep it clean and I really highly advise you. I highly advise you to get a canvas block wig head. Instead of a styrofoam mannequin head, because I tried making a wig with a styrofoam wig head and it never worked out, I've tried everything and for some reason it just it just it just was not working with me like it. Just was fighting with me did not want to be my friend and so um yeah. So I found my new bestie here, I'm showing you how flat it lays as you can see, and that's just going to hide all the tracks behind it. So you can pull it back of the ponytail half-up, half-down and you're going to see me demonstrate all these hairstyles later on in the video. So here you see me starting the left. The exact same way start with the weft first and then attach it to the cap, be sure to avoid the elastic band, and you see me pulling the West because it makes it easier for me to sew through just the cap and not the elastic band. So I mean, if you want to just make it easier for you, then you can sew through the cap. You can kind of see that I'm pulling the thread that way it's pulling the cap out so that I make sure I'm sewing through the cap and not the band. Hopefully that makes sense right here we're coming to an end. I'M going to go ahead, I'm going to knot it off. First of all about two or three times then fold it over and keep in mind we're gon na do every single track the exact same way we're doing in here the exact same way. So you just see me folding it over here securing the fold, so it lays nice and flat and then just go ahead and continue sewing the rest of the track, as you normally want to just loop it through in and out in and out. It'S just super easy guys, so I hope you guys see this in our motivated and excited to make your own wig, because it's really not hard at all. So don't be discouraged with this. You part you'll be able to shift the party area from the middle to the side, part whichever side that you want your card. Whatever you want, your part, you can ship pretty much just shift this. You part in that direction and you'll be good to go. So. Do not worry about making a whole nother, you part just for a side part. You don't have to do that unless you want like a deep side, bang type of thing, but you could definitely do the flip over method. With this type of you part way, you can pull it back where it in half up half down is going to lay really flat. You can add clips inside and you can do so much with this. You part, it's amazing we're not. Maybe you need a shoulder to cry on. Oh, I could be the kind of girl that you could be downfall. I feel something tell me that you're the kind of make a move. I maybe you need to cry. Oh, Oh

Duania Barnes: I think that was honestly the best wig making tutorial I saw
Brianna Inez: Best u part wig tutorial I seen in a while! Very gorgeous construction! I'll be trying this soon. I just wish I saw this before I made the wig I already have on my head
Destinyatk: LOVE how you hid those tracks & can flip it over. I've never seen this method before. BEST tutorial for versatility. Gonna try this on my very first wig made myself. Just waiting on the rest of my supplies..lol GREAT JOB!!
ikanebaby: Thank you for this!! I've been wanting to make my own wig but have been terrified ! Your video was perfect! And I'm building up the courage to make a wig! Can you please if you don't mind sharing a tut on how to do the clips such ass the placement etc?
RoyalOakTownCrew: best video ever! sewing a track around the perimeter on the edge was a good idea..will be using this method from now on
R. Boyd: Let me say, the neatest application of a wig making I've seen!!! Have to check your catalog to see if you've made a frontal unit. The placement of tracks was interesting. Excellent!!!
Shanice Swank: No this tutorial was PERFECT! Great Job ❤️
Shawn Plus One: Amazing on sooo many levels another one of the best tutorials that I've seen on YouTube.
Lavinia Lahrese: This is such an awesome wig tutorial! I tried using the styrofoam head as well, and like you, I had so much issues! Thanks so much for posting this easy tutorial :D
Gbest529: Love this tutorial! I wish i could like it twice! I have a question though....what do you use to secure the wig to your hair? Do you use clips? and how about the perimeter of the hair?
Woman of Gold: This video deffo deserves more views!! I been giving up on uparts as i feel they are limited but maybe i was doing it the wrong way, i never tried to sew it around in the front the way you showed in the start of the video, i will def try that! And a smaller upart is probably really what i need too. Thanks for sharing
JadeNoModel: I am so new to wig making. I am in the process of making my first u-part with a lace closure. Your tutorial is the bomb. I especially love that you showed how to get it lay flat! Thank you so much! I am now subscribing. How long did it take you to finish?
Mishayla Lavender: You did a great job! Best tutorial I've seen thus far. I have two questions though (anyone can answer). After you got through sewing the tracks around the perimeter is there a reason that you started the second track in the middle versus doing it from "ear to ear" and also at 5:25 did you cut the weft of there or did you flip it over and start a new track next to it. Hope someone replies, thanks ❤

ley love: Very neat and beautiful work, I’m a bit confused however because on the mannequin head it appears that it is a side part but once you put it on it is a middle part. Was it just tilted on the mannequin or do you have 2 parts?
GiGi Fergusson: I a so I loved this vid. it helped me a lot since I plan on making my own U part soon :) <3
So Lo: Hey I think your tutorial was very helpful. I do have a few questions. Is it necessary that you have to measure your head and go through the whole process with finding a mannequin head that has the right measurements of your own head?
Diamond M.: Did you use all 4 bundles? And if you only have 3 bundles would you recommend doubling the hair for sewing it around (first step) ?
