How to Make Human Wigs
Human hair wigs are extremely expensive. You can make your own and create your own designs and save money. You’ll need quite a bit of patience, and you may want to practice with synthetic hair first. You can find everything you need at any beauty supply store.
Making your own human hair wigs can be a lot of fun. You can play around with the styles and create your own unique look. It is also a really good way to save money as a lot of human hair wigs can be very expensive to go out and buy.
What You’ll Need:
- Hair Scissors
- Human Hair Wefts
- Paint brush
- Wig Holder
- Stocking Cap
- Large Paddle Brush
- Hair Glue
- Fit your stocking cap onto the wig holder. Glue any bulges in the stocking cap directly to the wig cap so that you will be working on a smooth surface. Take out the hair wefts and untangle them very gently. You can then lay them out flat.
- Apply the wig glue onto the nape part of your stocking cap. Apply your glue along the edges until you are at the top of the cap. Apply the hair onto a glue line and press down on it as you go along the line. Do this until you have reached the top of the stocking cap. Put additional glue onto the other side of the cap. Cut any weft that is left over once you have reached the nape.
- Glue the area about ½” up from where the first glued hair weft is. Continue applying the hair wefts exactly like you did the first one.
- Glue the bottom of your wefts together and fold the over until they lay completely flat. Glue these parts to the top of the stocking cap. Cut and style as desired.
