Making a back-to-school (or run-errands) wig with old attachments.

in DIYHub2 years ago

Hi beautiful people, hope you had a lovely day.....
Today, I completed a wig I started making last week, this wig was made with my used attachment.

For some reason, I don't like throwing away used attachments, I feel they can be used for something else especially with the current price of attachments these days, it won't sit right with me if I decide to waste something I paid heavily for, so I decided to make a wig, at first, I wanted to perfect a wig I made earlier this year but changed my mind and decided to try something different.

For days when we don't feel like doing too much, days when you don't have enough time or funds to make your hair, this comes in handy. This wig can be worn out to school, market, casual outing, running errands or just sitting at home.

REQUIREMENTS
  • Wig cap
  • Crochet pin
  • Attachments (used or new)
  • Wig stand (or bucket like me 😅)
  • Hair rollers/Bendable dollars
  • scissors
  • Hair Conditioner
THE PROCESS
  • Step 1.

The first thing to do is cream and comb but if it's an unused attachment, the first thing is cutting, creaming and drawing before combing.

  • Step 2.

After combing, I started rolling it in small bits on the bendable rollers, I twisted it to the left because twisting to the right doesn't hold.

  • Step 3.

After twisting, I boiled water, added hair conditioner to it and put the rolled attachment inside, I let it sit inside for a while before pouring out the water and letting the attachment dry.

  • Step 4.

After the attachment has dried completely, I removed them from the rollers. Moving on, I cut them into two equal parts and started 'knitting'.

  • Step 5.

After cutting the curled attachment, I fixed my wig cap on the wig stand (in my case, bucket because the wig stand I got was useless 🤦, it kept falling off and had no weight to hold the wig cap). After fixing the wig cap, I started going in with the crochet pin and attachment, I passed the crochet pin between two (or more) holes on the net, use the pin to pass the attachment and bring them out through the hole (as if I was knitting) and I made sure the knot is tight.

[Wig stand that didn't work]

-Step 6.

After filing the hair net with attachment to my satisfaction, I
Cut the long attachments covering my face.

This looked so big and scattered so I went on to trim and add attachment to certain places I felt wasn't well covered and this is the final result.

[I'm not a hairstylist and have little knowledge about hair].

Thanks for stopping by 🤗

This is amazing friend.
The first one before you trimmed it wasn't bad.
I keep imagining how you used bucket to fix the wig, that's cool and brilliant.

Thank you very much dear.

It wasn't but I kept thinking, if I sit in front of someone they might not see the front 😂.

Not at all, I hated the idea of hairdressing till early this year.

Beautiful hairstyles, but I like your lips.

Thank you so much 😁

Very curly!! Nice hair🌸

Thank you ☺️

Wow that's very creative.
But i mean i wouldnt have the time to loose my braids and keep the attachment for later , because i make very long hair... And i feel once I use the hair its not worth using again . What you did is very impressive👏👏

Yeah
Most people don't have the time to sit and lose it, (I used a whole week loosing it myself 😂) but it's just how I feel, I don't like throwing certain things away especially if I know I can reuse them...

Thank you very much 🥰

Wow! That requires alot of patience and time......
Minimalist lifestyle, that's good👏

Thanks a lot 😊

Cool, I love this hairstyle you made it very well 🙂

Thank you very much 😊
I'm glad you like it
