Cosplay 101: How to make wefts for wigs

[@keiissuperepic7434]

TYSM for my mikey sano cos i decided to get a long but cheap wig and then i was gonna make wefts to add in with the extra length,, it'll be hard but if it's not hard then it's not worth doing !! 👍👍

[@faitparchristine]

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for!

[@emily_232]

So helpful thank you! I’m planning on making a super long wig for an Entrapta cosplay. Most likely going to use yarn and iron it out so I can get the length. It’ll be a big project but a fun one.

If u use heat on the tape like with a heat gun when removing the tape, it will remove more easily

I love how close your camera is to the hair. Is there away I can just do a very long weft so I can turn them into hair extensions or wigs but i need a long tape for that? And where can I find a good sewing machine but not so expensive? Please make more video xoxo

[@hollowflamecosplay]

Hi, thanks! You can make wefts in any length and width in this way, just use a longer piece of tape. I did some that were around 30cm wide recently for a very long ponytail, check out my Facebook for photos. They do start to get harder to manage at that sort of width though. My sewing machine is as old as I am, but check out your local sewing shops (Spotlight in Aus, Joann's in the US etc), you can get a basic model pretty cheap if you wait for sales.

Does it shed a lot while brushing?

[@hollowflamecosplay]

It can shed a little more than normal wigs do unfortunately, but I used this method for my whole Valeera ponytail and even after a couple brush outs/wears it isn't noticeable.

Thank you!!!

[@hollowflamecosplay]

You're welcome! Hope the video helps.

You wefts turned out SO much better than mine when I did them for flora. Any chance you would load this video to your Facebook page? I would love to share it in February (Facebook doesn’t seem to like sharing KZbin videos :p)

[@hollowflamecosplay]

Thanks! I was so nervous trying it at first but the result was pretty easy to use. I'll give uploading it a shot. I haven't had much luck uploading straight to Facebook but its worth a try. The written version is on Deviantart too.

[@KirileeCosplay]

Hollow Flame Cosplay awesome! Please let me know if it works. Awesome work!

[@shishasmakeup]

Wow, thanks that you uploaded this because I'm doing videos myself for cosplay and may you could be interested in as well 💥

[@hollowflamecosplay]

Hope it was helpful!

[@reneee666]

bruh whats going on with the subtitles-

[@hollowflamecosplay]

No clue, KZbin sets them based on predictive text I think, which probably doesn't have words like 'weft' in there.

Hollow Flame Cosplay when you were quiet it just kept on saying ‘you’ non stop
