Hey guys welcome back to the channel. If you are new here, my name is sharon nicole welcome today, i'm going to be showing you guys how i make my quick and easy 45 minute wig, i'm going to tell you everything that i use show you the hair that i use. I have more than one wig made just like this: the weight that i've been wearing on my instagram, if you guys are not following me on instagram, make sure you do, but the way that i've been wearing on my instagram is also the same wig same technique. It'S just a little bit longer this one, i believe, is 26 inches and the one that i'm wearing today or the one i'm going to be making for you guys today is 22 inches same technique, same hair bomb result. You can make it in under a hour. You can't beat that and guess what 30 bucks 30 bucks you don't have to go and buy it. You can make it. Everybody has these products at the house and if you don't, you can get them all at the dollar store. So simple, so easy! So let me show you how i made this wig. Let me show you how i made this piece honey we're going to get into it 30 bucks under an hour. Let'S go so we're going to start off this tutorial, showing you everything that you need in order to achieve this look, i am going to be using a custom dome head in the size 22, as well as a needle and thread you're, also going to need a Hot glue gun, which of course, is the star of the show, and you are also going to need a dome spandex cap - i will have everything listed in the video description and links if i can find it as well. This is also the hair that we're going to be using and again i only paid 30 dollars for it. You can find any brand of hair that you like to achieve this look, but this is a budget friendly tutorial again. My dome head is size 22, which is the size of my head, so i'm able to make sure that my wigs fit properly now for this next section, we are going to be sewing down the lace closure. I find that the wigs last a little bit longer if i sew it down versus hot glue, but if you're in a pinch and if you are not too sure on how to do this technique, you can always hot glue it as well. The thing that i really want you to focus on is making sure that your lace is laying as flat as possible. If you notice, i'm really pulling that lace taut onto the dome cap and i'm also going to be using my left hand to make sure that the lace closure lays flat, as i sew it down onto the dome cap. And here i'm showing you that i'm pulling the lace and then i'm using my hand to hold it down, and you also will notice that i'm using the needle to make sure that i am sewing in a downward motion which also helps to make sure that your Lace closure is laying flat anytime that you are applying a lace closure. The best rule of thumb is to sew down one side and then go to the opposite side and continue to sew. So you'll see that i have two needles here, and that is how i always make sure or ensure that my lace, closures or frontals lay flat once i take all of the hair and get it out of my way. We are going to start to install our hair, i'm going to be using 18 20 and 22 inch bun and for this installation i'm going to be starting off with my shortest bundle, which is the 18.. I do this so that my wig looks a little more thick, typically um, if you're putting in the longer bundle you'll get the layered effect. That'S not the look i was looking for. I just wanted this look to be a blunt cut, but i also wanted the wig to be a little bit on the thicker side. So my rule of thumb is to apply that first weft in a downward motion, so i am applying it in a u formation or a horseshoe formation, but you will see that the hair is going to be laying forward on the mannequin head. So you take that first weft and apply it directly next to the lace and then we're going to continue to do this all the way around our dome spindex cap. Traditionally, when applying or creating wigs, you will see some people who like to apply their wefts going from ear to ear. But i have found that when you are applying your extensions in a horseshoe formation going from temple to temple, you will get a fuller look in your face. So, if you're doing anything with layers or phrase framing applying your wefts from temple to temple versus ear to ear, you're, always going to have a full look for your hair extensions. I'M going to continue to do that all the way around this head and, as you can see, the hair is now laying forward versus on the side of the mannequin head foreign. Another technique that i want to share with you all is that when i am using hot glue, i know my fingers are almost numb to the hot glue, but sometimes it can be a little bit warm. So what i like to do is when i am doing this method. I am layering these wefts, so i will take one width apply that with my scissors, like i'm doing here, and then i will take that second wife, that is on top and then i will kind of they call it marrying the wefts so they're not right. On top of each other, but they're right next to each other, and that is a way to make sure that your hair extensions are not bulky at this point. This is where we're going to do the traditional u-part install so before we were doing a horseshoe. Now we're going to do a actual, u parting, and that is where we're going from ear to ear, and this is just going to fill in the remainder of the space on our dome spandex cap. I also forgot to let you guys know that when i get to the top, i like to measure to make sure one that i don't run out of hair and also that i am making sure all of my spaces are filled in. So what you see me doing right now is just measuring the amount of hair that i have left to make sure that i have enough to make sure that i can finish this wig now here you're going to see the technique. I was telling you about before when you're able to marry those wefts. So, as you can see, i put down one with and then right on top of that you will see the second also, as you can see that, once the hot glue dry, sometimes you will get some pieces. That kind of go everywhere. Do not worry. Hot glue comes off so easily. I actually love to use this method, because, if you're using traditional hair glue once that gets on the hair, it's almost impossible to get out versus hot glue. You can pick it off and it does not destroy the hair and it doesn't get stuck so again. I am marrying those wefts. If you can see, the tracks are still doubled and then i'm going to place that first weft down and then take that second with and put it right on top of that. So at this point all we're doing is filling in the remainder of that space. I also want to preface this by saying: we are not going to be applying any of that weft on top of the lace. We don't want it to be too bulky where our part is. That is a absolute no-no. So as long as we fill in all of the space that is surrounding that lace, closure piece, you will be fine, but never on top of the lace closure. So this is how our wig has been finished. As you can see, i did not apply any of those wefts on top of the lace everything will be laying flat, and now i'm going to show you how i customize my synthetic wig to make it look more natural. So this is our part. It does not. Look natural at all, so we are going to do a few steps, we're going to take our wig off of the mannequin head and then we're going to remove that excess dome cap. So, as you can see, i'm just cutting off the excess dome cap so that the lace can be exposed, and this is one of the reasons why i like to sew it down versus hot glue it because sometimes the hot glue can still be loose. And you just don't want your thing to come apart. So now we're going to tweeze the parting, be very careful when you are tweezing any type of lace, because lace is very delicate and you don't want to create holes in your lace. I'Ve done it a thousand times and it really does suck so i'm going to take this actually takes about 10 minutes. So this is a lot of time, but this is also the part that really makes your wig look natural. So i start off by taking the hair from the front and then i work my way back. I try to mimic a natural parting, which means that the parting in the front is always the widest and then, as you go to the back, it starts to thin out now at this point this is optional, but i do take a little bit of the concealer That i use on my face because it's the same color and i will apply it into the actual parting to help cover up some of those knots, and once that is done, we are going to apply the wig. This is the perfect fit perfect, perfect, perfect, fit all right guys. This is it all right, so this is the wig completed now, if you wanted to, you can go ahead and you can put more concealer on the part to make it look more natural, but this is how it looks on me and i'm going to stand up A bit so you guys can see it has not been cut. It has not been trimmed nothing. So this is the wig really really pretty. The hair is soft um. It has its shine. I put absolutely nothing on the wig besides me plucking the part and putting a little bit of concealer on. I might put a little bit more, but i also know that, as the wig gets older i'll probably be tweezing a bit more but again, 45 minutes in about an hour, including me recording this for you guys. So this is the quickest technique ever like. I said this is the wig that i always wear. It is literally the same exact technique. The only thing is, i plucked it and put some holes in it, but you can kind of see i've had it for a while, and you see the part is a little more defined because i do have more concealer on this wig and i've worn it plenty Of times, but this is the same wig just longer - and this is this wig that i just made and i'm loving it so far. So this is what i wanted to show you guys again. I know it wasn't planned, but 45 minutes. I wanted to show you guys my technique, how i get so many wigs, why i don't spend so much money, even though i have access to all the premium hair and all that good stuff. Sometimes a good old synthetic boom is going to get you going honey. So that's it for today's video guys. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Quick, simple everything will be listed in the description box and i will see you guys in the next video see you later
