Thank you so much for tuning in in today's video I'm going to be showing you how I make my you Parts u-part. Wigs have been a favorite kind of protective style for many many years now I want to say about a decade for those of you who don't know if you're new, I am a licensed cosmetologist. I have a salon studio in Fort Lauderdale. I'Ve worked with all kinds of textures and 100 of my clientele is natural, AKA unrelaxed. Over the years it's been very important to me to be using extensions that closely resemble my hair and the hair of my clients. We need textures that match and I'm just just really excited to show you how I do it and, of course, what hair I'm using and everything that I'm using is going to be in the description box below for reference. The texture that I'm using in the video for the wig is Glam coil and the texture that I'm wearing right now is Glam curl. This video is actually a sneak peek of me, making a wig for actually one of my clients, so I really hope you enjoy this video. I hope it not only helps you make your own. You part wig at home, but I really hope that it helps you to start a healthier Hair Care Journey. If that's your goal at home, too, be sure to stick around to the very end of the video there I'll share how you can actually use upar way to effectively grow your hair out super long. I'Ve done it with a ton of clients and you'll definitely be able to do the same thing. If you follow along what I'm saying in this video, so without further Ado, let's go ahead and jump right into the video, so I'm starting out with what you'll need I've already threaded 11 needles. I have a pair of shears and some thread. This is the hair. I'M using I'm using three bundles of BM extensions and Glam coil, I'm using two bundles of 22 inches and one bundle of 20 inches. I love this virgin texture and have been using it for years. It'S so soft and can be bleached colored and heat styled. What I'm using here is a u-part wig cap. I love using this one because it's really breathable and it comes with elastic bands for a snug fit just like the hair. I'M gon na go ahead and Link this in the description box as well. So I store my threaded needles on this magnetic holder. I got it a long time ago really helps keep the needles in place. So, with the first Stitch, I use the t-pins to hold the extensions on either side of the calf. This makes it so that I don't have to actually hold the weft as I'm threading, so I'm starting out with a traditional Stitch, I make sure to do at least three stitches at the start of the weft to ensure that it's nice and solid foreign close to These seams of the wig cap, I make sure to stitch around the seams. This ensures that the wig cap maintains its shape and doesn't get too tight once you're done stitching a row. This is what it should look like. I like to make sure my stitches are really close together to ensure that it stays intact. You could easily get several years out of your wigs stitching this way, I Stitch my webs fairly close together. I like my wigs to have a nice full, yet natural density. When the thread runs out instead of cutting it, I do another Stitch right next to it with another needle and tie a knot. I do about three knots cut and then continue stitching doing. This helps move way more quickly and efficiently. Once I'm done stitching. This is how my rows and stitches look because of this way of stitching. I still have wigs from like four plus years ago, going to keep stitching and show you once it's finished, so I'm at the very top of the wig almost done looks so good. I just wanted to show you guys the very last Stitch, so I just wanted to say really quickly if you're, following along at home practice, makes perfect um. I started making you part wigs a little over 10 years ago and, of course, with time and with practice and experience you're gon na get so much better and your wigs are gon na look so good. Now that we're done. This is what it should look like. Be sure to cut the little lace portion from around the? U part, shape I'll, be using the comb Clips on the right. I like them, because they're a lot more gentle on the hair than the clips on the left, and here I'm showing you where they will be stitched. This is what the wig looks like all done: freshly washed and dried. It'S all ready for my client in the salon. I love this texture. So much people are going to think it's your natural hair. It happens all the time this is the inside of the wig here, I'm just showing you where I stitched the comb Clips be sure to. Let me know how yours goes at home in the comments, if you made it all the way to the end of this video congrats to you, that is awesome. Now I'm going to go over really quickly how you can utilize, the? U part wig to actually grow your hair out. So if growing, your hair out is like your ultimate goal or it's one of like your top priorities as far as your hair goals, what I'm telling you is what I tell clients to. There are quite a few ways to grow your hair out, but one of the ways that I enjoy is utilizing. You part wigs. Why? Because you're able to still access your hair you're able to still have a really great natural look, still have your natural hairline out. You still have versatility, you can wear your hair up, you can wear it down, you can do half a pat down. You have more versatility, so after you've made your wig and if your goal is to grow your hair out, what you can do is just be sure to deep condition every week to every two weeks: oil, your scalp every couple of days, depending on how dry your Scalp gets and moisturize and seal the ends of your braids.
