How to Sew in Half Wigs
Sewing in a half wig is a great way to change your hairstyle for longer than just a few days. When these wigs are secured correctly they can be worn for up to a week. The process is simple, it just requires some time to work with.
Half wigs are a great way for you to quickly change any hair style.
What You’ll Need:
- Curved Needle
- Heavy Duty Thread
- Part and section off the parts of your hair that will not be covered up by the half wig. Get the sections of your hair that will be covered and cornrow them. Do this in a circular pattern to make attachment much easier. Take out the combs from underneath the wig and remove the thread with a seam ripper.
- Measure and cut a piece of thread that is about as long as the span of your arms. Stick the thread through the needle and bring each end to touch. Knot the thread that is looped through your needle.
- Line up the half wig how you want it to be and adjust the straps. You will want it to fit securely around your head so it will stay. Pin the half wig’s hair back if it is very long.
- Find a good location to begin sewing and stick the needle through the bottom part of your wig. It will need to go underneath the cornrow that is nearest to the edge. Take hold of the thread where your knot is and stick your finger between the pieces of the thread.
- Make an opening with your finger and push your needle through the rest of the wig. You can then bring it through the opening that was just made in order to form the loop. Pull the thread nice and tight to finish the stitch.
