How I Make My U-Parts | Ft. Sophia Hair

Hey guys, so I got sent some hair from a company called Sofia hair on Aliexpress. They sent me four bundles of their Brazilian body wave in the length 22 s a 20 and an 18, and they also sent me a 16 inch closure um. Here'S all of the bundles together, the bundles, are like a really nice size, so that's cool and the closure is really big. I like the fact that it has a lot of space on the edge so with I doubt that I'm gon na use it for this install, but I'm pretty sure I'll save it for another one. I did notice that the hair kind of has like a residue on it, so I would suggest co-washing before you install so before we start making our wig we're going to need some thread. We'Re going to need a needle and the needles come in more than one size. I prefer the bigger ones because they're a lot easier to use than the smaller ones, you're, obviously going to need some scissors to cut the thread. A weaving cap, I'm using one that I got from Sally's for like 4 bucks. It has like the adjustable straps on the back and you're going to need a styrofoam head and some pushpins. I don't have any of those. So I'm using nails so yeah. That'S all you're going to need to start so next you want to take like a white pencil and Mark out where you want your leave out to be and where you want your part to be um since mine's a deep side part. I did mine deep on the side if you're not used to making your own, u parts, yet it's better to do this on your head, but since I've made enough, I kind of know where I want my stuff to be and don't mind my no makeup face. I know I look gray, so yes moving on alright, so this is the part where those push pins or my case nails come into play. Um, you're, gon na put them on all four corners of your. U part I mean of your wig cap, so that your wig cap doesn't slide around while you're trying to sew the tracks on okay. So now that your wig cap is secured you're, going to take your needle and you're going to pierce it through the end of your first track, this is the only part that you're going to stick your needle through the track. I just like to do this because it makes it like more secure and you're just going to take it and stick it through the bottom of your wig cap and it'll. Hold it in place like super easy and will make it a lot easier to sew. So now you're just going to take the track and then run it across the bottom and then use a push, pin to hold it in place. This makes it a lot easier to sew. So when I saw the hair I like to you, put the needle like underneath the track and then put the thread over the needle to kind of form a knot, I don't know if I'm explaining that right but yeah, you can see me doing it and so You'Re just going to sew all the way across the track until you get to the push pin so now, it's time to flip your track over and start sewing again so you're just going to take it flip it over maybe put it like a half an inch Above the track that you already sewed and then push your push pin down into it, so it'll hold it in place. So it's easier to sew general, like disclaimer, like I, don't freaking struggle this much to make my you parts usually, but try to position this to where, like you guys, could see it in the video was difficult, so yeah once you do that you're just going to Take like press down the end of it and then try and tack down the part that you bent like as good as you can. So here's, like a closer view of what I do. I just like take the needle push it under the track and then I take the thread and then put it over like the extra thread and put it over my needle, so that I can create a knot and then I'm just going to do that. A couple times in the corner to make sure it's like flat as possible, so we don't have any like lumps and bumps and all that, even though I don't put this up in a ponytail, but I mean I just don't want it. There then you're gon na just do the same thing as you were doing before, just like keep pushing the needle through the bottom of the track. Until you get to the pushpin make sure you don't go through the track because it'll cause like shedding, and nobody once that, okay, so before we fold up the track over. But this time I'm going to take the track. All the way like up to the side of the wheat cap, it's like over the let's stop the elastic band part of the track. I'M just going to take my push, pin and push it down to the top of that, because I'm not going to go all the way up to the top. Where I have my leave out, I'm just going to go over that elastic band and when you're sewing over the elastic band, try not to like get it in, like the actual elastic band, just go through the holes because then, if you get it in the elastic Band um, you won't be able to like tighten it or loosen it up. So I guess, if you don't care about that, then just you know go for it, but if you want to be able to tighten and loosen up the way cap then make sure you just go through the holes. So at this point, um I'm going to create a knot since I got to the end of the track. So I'm just going to take my needle and push it through, like usual like through the bottom, then I'm going to take my thread and wrap it around. The needle three times and then I'm going to just run the needle through and that will create a knot to kind of like tack down the end, because now we're going to fold over the track like we did before now, you're just going to try and get That like in that you bent as flat as you possibly can and then you're just going to take it and sew it all the way around and just do the same thing. On the other side, you're going to sew up to the elastic band and then fold it down, so, as you can see, one side is like significantly larger than the other one, so you're just going to keep playing your tracks and kind of like that curved shape. That you were doing before, because you were laying the tracks by the elastic band you're just going to keep placing your tracks like in that same like set up until, like the curve kind of gets small, then you're just going to kind of like layer tracks to Where they fill up that curve like, instead of going all the way up to the top and then keeping up with the curve you're going to go to like the end of it and then like fold it over, so that, essentially, your tracks will lay straight. If that makes any sense at all, hopefully it does all right so by getting rid of that curve. I'M able to like lay my tracks down straight now, so I just kept laying them straight back and forth and just folding it over on each side like all the way up until I got to the marker, where my leave out would be so. I left like enough room for there to be able to put like one more track there, so I'm going to grab my smallest bundle and I'm gon na measure out where my leave out is and then I'm going to cut a track to fit it there and Then I'm going to sew it on so like if you don't want to cut your tracks, I'm not really sure how you would do this so yeah you're just going to do the same thing you did with the other tracks. Just take your needle and poke it through the end of the track and they're just going to go under the wig cap and sew it on all the way around you're just going to make another knot at the end by wrapping your third around three times and Pulling it through so now, you're going to start with your shortest bundle and you're going to go on the opposite side and start sewing your tracks around. Since the side with your part, is already filled up with hair you're just going to sell your track all the way up until you can't really even sew it anymore and then you're just going to fold your track over, and you know tack down the end. Try to get it as flat as possible, like usual and then you're just going to fold it over and then sew it back to the other end and you're just going to keep doing that back and forth until you fill in that space. Oh you're, just going to keep sewing until you completely fill up that gap. That'S left up. There then you're going to flip that top track back and cut off all the excess weaving cap, and you should be left with something like this um. You can go ahead and add clip to the top or you can sew it onto your head. Whatever you want to do. Usually, I add clips because I like to switch my wigs out often with this hair. It was not shedding like pretty much barely any. While I was making this new part and I'm used to a lot more shedding, so that was pretty cool, um yeah so I'll be giving you guys an update about this hair soon um.
