How To Make A U-Part Wig - Creating, Installing And Blending | Beginner Friendly

Hey guys, it's me tommy and in this video i'm going to be showing you how i created my kinky curly u-part, wig u-part wigs are back in style, so let's just jump right into it. The cap that i'm going to be using is this dome cap that i purchased from aliexpress. I will link exactly where i purchased it below i'm, going to start off by taking my first bundle and wrapping it around the perimeter of my dome cap. If you're interested in the deets they're going to be to the left of that that you just saw there and also in the description below so after i tack down my bundle around the perimeter, i'm gon na go ahead and sew my bundles and, as you see Me um sewing on the bundles. I'M just gon na give you some some details. Basically, the reason why i do it this way is so that when the wind blows, you don't see the tracks and it also adds some volume to the front of your hair, especially when you're working with kinky curly or any type of curly hair. You want a lot of volume and a lot of curls. You just want that. Voom natural look so by me, sewing um downward on my first bundle. It helps create that look. Secondly, you're going to see me here: i'm tacking down the ends of that weft. So as soon as i started that weft i'm going to create a few knots, i do that because, when you're working with curly hair, you tend to manipulate it a little bit more by co-washing it and detangling it with a denim brush. So doing all of that, i want to make sure that my tracks are nice and secure. So i tack down the ends really well, and the third thing is when you're working with the perimeter of the hair, you don't want to sew onto the actual elastic band. So you saw me sewing just through the fabric of the hair. Once i'm done with the perimeter of my hair, i'm going to go ahead and add my tracks horizontally, i'm going to double weft it it's just easier and faster for me to go uh to sew the tracks onto the dome cap when it's double wefted, because i Can leave spaces and then also i'm not gon na cut. My wefts, like i did with the front i'm actually gon na flip. My webs over, as you can see me demonstrating here. This is what one bundle looks like i'm going to continue to do the same process of sewing and flipping the hair until i get to the top and then, when i get to the top um, i'm going to show you guys just a couple of things. I'M going to show you guys how i connect two tracks, so, let's say, for example, you're finished with your bundle. What i like to do is i like to connect my tracks together, so you see that i finished my bundle um and i need to connect the next bundle. So i continue with that thread that i initially had right there and then i'm gon na push that needle through. I only push the needle through the wefts whenever i'm starting or finishing a row and then i'm going to push the needle through the old weft with the prior bundle and then i'm going to push it through the new weft of the new bundle. And then i'm going to create a knot so that both bundles are secured together. I think i'm going to do a little bit. No, i don't think i'm going to do another now. I think i'm just going to go ahead and just proceed to carry on to sewing um underneath my wefts, so i never sew through my wefts only when i'm beginning or ending a bundle other than that i'm sewing around the wefts, and you do that. Just to avoid shedding, like i said, you're going to be manipulating your bundles, your curly hair. A lot and shedding is the least of your concern. Um, you don't want just shut here everywhere, because it's gon na shut, because you're manipulating so um definitely don't sew through your wefts um. I only sew through my wefts whenever i'm ending or beginning a bundle. Another thing too, as i'm approaching um the corner of it and i'm ready to flip it over. I'M just going to show you guys how i do my flip over. So i like to make sure that i do one um like it's hard to say so. I loop my thread as close as i possibly can to where i want to fold that bundle up here, i'm going to create a knot in this case. My thread was too short, so i had to start a new piece of thread. But anyway, i'm going to take my finger and i'm going to tack down that fold just to keep it nice and secure, making sure that it's flat and then i'm just going to do one more attacking and then once i'm ready, i'm going to push the thread Through both wefts so that it lays flat. So hopefully you can see me just push that needle through the thread uh the wefts of the one underneath and the one on top. And then i'm gon na create a knot and make sure that that fold is nice and flat. So now the last bundle that i have what i like to do is wrap my thread and my bundles as close as possible to the edge. So you see me just wrapping the thread to that edge part of the dome cap. That way when i'm cutting the lace off. It'S just very seamless, you don't see any dome cap whatsoever, so i'm gon na go ahead and just show you guys exactly how i do that until i get to the full end and then once i'm done with that, i'm gon na go ahead and just add Some wig combs to the dome cap. Now you don't necessarily need to add wig combs to your dome cap. You can sew the u-part onto your actual braids. If you want to, you, can bobby pin it down, it's all up to you on what you would like to do. I actually do both so at first i do the combs in my u-part and then when the combs kind of get irritate me. I take the combs out and then i do the bobby pins. So it's up to you on what you would like to do to tack your u-part wig down and then the last step is basically to cut the lace off and there you go. Here'S your u-part wig. I really love this dome cap because it just gives you just the amount of a great amount of leave-out for your hair, so you're not using too much of your leave-out, so whether you're doing a curly wig, a straight wig body, wave wig, you just have just Enough leave out to blend it in now i know you're. Looking at my braids like yo, her braids is crusty and rusty. I'M gon na explain so my prior video, i did a sew-in. I ended up taking that hair out and turning it into a flip over wig um. So that's the reason why it looks like this, but also the reason why i kept my hair like this, for this video is for some of you guys who has been rocking your u-part wigs for a while and want to know how to blend it. So it looks natural when you're on day five or day six and you didn't get a chance to freshen up your leave out.
