Let’s Make that Bomb Wig!
Step 1 – Set up
Mount your wig head on a wig stand or set it down on a chair or table with tape.
You want your wig head to be stable while you are making your wig for easier construction.
Step 2 – Prep
You have the option to measure and cut your extensions to fit the circumference of the wig cap while securing them down from back to front. If you're really good at sewing you wont have to cut the wefts and can instead fold them over.
As you get mid way through your cap, start laying the tracks down in a more U-shape pattern.
Secure your hair extensions down by using needle & thread.
Step 3 – Which kind of wig?
Whether you're creating a lace frontal wig or closure wig you will want to lay the closure/ frontal piece down first and sew the bundles second. If you're not using a closure piece skip this step.
Step 4 – Tracks/ Wefts/ Bundles
Begin to sew the hair down row by row with your hair bundles leaving an even amount of space between each track you lay down on your cap.
Step 5 – Wig Band
Add a wig band and wig combs to the inside of your wig to add security and make for a more snug fit to your wig when wearing it. The last thing you want is your wig slipping off while you're wearing it in public.
Tip: Remove any lace buy cutting it off if you are creating a frontal or closure wig.
Step 6 – Style
Once your full wig is done its time to make it Bomb Dot Com! Use heat styling tools to curl it or straighten it. Even use scissors or shears to cut it or layer it.
Recommendation: Color your bundles prior to creating the wig.
