Hi everyone welcome back to my channel here is a video of how i made my u-part wig, with a closure for this curly hair that i got on aliexpress. If you are interested in how i achieved this, please stay tuned to start off you're going to need a wig cap. The wig cap i have is a breathable wig cap. I just got this from my local beauty. Supply store. This one has adjustable. Straps also leaves enough room for the heat of very curly hair. Next is fray. Tech. Free check is a sealant, so i did seal my wefts for this unit only to prevent shedding with the curly hair texture before i start sewing the tracks of the actual wig. What i do is, i turn the wig inside out and sew a track on the underside of the wig. This will prevent the wig cap from showing, when the wind blows or anything like that, especially with curly hair. I wanted it to be very, very natural and look very blendable. Another thing i like to do when i'm sewing my wigs is use sewing pins in order to hold down the wig cap and to hold down the tracks in place in order to get them to lay where i would like them to lay also helps to get Them to lay flat as well now i'm turning the wig back to the original way that it's supposed to be and, as you can see, the hair is underneath the actual wig cap, as i mentioned before, it will prevent the uh ends of the wig cap from Showing if the wind blows for this unit, i did not cut my wefts, so i did do the flip over method in order to get the flip over method to lay flat. I do sew over the uh fold multiple times, um this aids, so that it won't look so bulky at the ends. I also use the hair pins to keep the hair in place now to sew on the closure. I'M going to place it very carefully at the hairline of the wig cap and i'm going to pin it in place with the sewing pins and i'm going to make sure that it is laying as flat as possible after i sew on the first bundle to the Bottom, i then sew on the closure nest. So now i'm sewing on the closure using the loop and pull method. I'Ve been using the loop and pull method throughout the whole unit. So here you get a closer look of that, so i'm making sure to leave about quarter of an inch sections for the closure, because i want the closure to be very secure when sewing on the closure. I concentrate on one side at a time, so i am sewing on this one side at a time and as i'm going, i'm also pulling to make sure that it is laying flat uh. The last thing you want is your closure to have bumps, especially in the middle, where the part line is. It just looks very unnatural and unrealistic, so as you're going make sure that you are making sure that your closure is laying flat. So here is where i'm going to put a disclaimer. I am not a professional. I just do these on my own, i learned through other youtube gurus as well um, so i just do what i feel is works best for me. If you find that this method doesn't work best for you, then you can um find another one that may work for you, but this, like, i said, works best for me. So now i've already sewed on the other side of the closure and, as you can see, i have two needles here. So what i'm doing at the back to prevent any bumps is i'm sewing to meet the two needles in the middle and then i will tie them off, so this step is optional. This is just something that i like to do. Um i like to sew on a track of the shortest length of hair right, underneath the closure only to secure the fact that it won't blow up and look unnatural. I wanted it to look as natural and full as full as possible. So that's why i did that. I'M also sewing around my wefts. I did not sew through the wefts, as i did use a sealant, so i'm sewing around the wefts for this unit. Here is a closer look of the loop and pull method um. I have slowed down the video so that you do see what i um do with that. So i just put the needle underneath make sure making sure to catch the wig cap go underneath with my index and thumb grab the needle making sure that the thread is around my fingers, and i pull it through baby is here, is a closer look of the Flip over method, as i mentioned before, i do sew over the fold multiple times using the loop and pull method. Also, the way i lay my tracks is in a upside down u-shape. I find that it makes the hair fall better uh with the wigs. Also, the spacing as um that i'm doing down here is probably about a two and sorry a one and a half finger width um for the bottom um. I leave the spaces really wide because i feel like at the back. It doesn't need that much volume. Only for this look, i did them a lot closer when i got to the top, because i wanted it to be that big, curly, full vibrant voluptuous look for this unit, as you can see at the top. You do not see any spaces. This is what i was going for. I did not want there to be any spaces. Well, with this curly hair, like i said, i wanted to be very big and vibrant and voluptuous so um yeah, you don't see any of the mannequin head at all and that's what we're going for here and here is the end result with the lace closure. This is before i did any trimming or cutting, or anything like that. This is the raw image of the finished custom unit that i made with this aliexpress hair um. I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial.

Ashley Simone Glasgow: Finally I understand this!

catmo59: I wish I could give you 10 thumbs up. Exactly what I was looking for- everyone uses the dome cap and I prefer a mesh cap so that your natural hair can breathe. Also you are the only person I found who actualy shows how to conceal those horrible ear tabs.. Do you know if it is possible just to cut those ear tabs off altogether?

Courtaney Moore: What exactly did you use I'm trying to do that myself.

Ashley Simone Glasgow: ThankyouGod
