D.I.Y How To Make a U-Part Wig

[@stylebyfash]

Thanks! Yes it does. You can sew an elastic back around the back for a more snug fit.

[@lakenyakelley9861]

this is by far the most informative u part wig video ive seen yet on youtube. Helped me out alot!

[@Growing-and-Glowing]

I actually think that your mannequin having short hair is great for making wigs on it because the cap would slide off the smooth mannequins without hair and the hair on mannequins with long hair would get it the way. Anyhoo, great video! I've never tried this technique but your tutorial was very detailed, informative, and easy to follow. The final product looks fab, great job Fash :-)

Happy Easter everyone! Omg @lover4fashion! Honey u saved my life and time again. The new wig I made this time was with model model Persian hair. It came with 4 lengths and a free closure. 14,12,10,8, and the closure I gave away. The hair is wet and wavy to straight. I am wearing my wig straight via flatirons with no oil or spritz. This hair is the business! I will wet it in the summer. I have had zero shedding or tangling. Just stopping by to say thanks again. No more sew in ever for me!

[@stylebyfash]

@ebcicles I noticed using silk scarfs to tie your hair will keep the smooth look so you wont have to flat iron every single day.

[@stylebyfash]

Glad I can help! Thanks for watching!

[@BrittanyJacksonTV]

I'm soooo loving this! U see I've been doing quick weaves for years and I'm tired of the glue! This method is MUCH easier and longer lasting! I will be making my own u-part wig next week!!! Lovin your hair!

[@stylebyfash]

@ilesx3 Indeed you do! It cuts down the time on sewing in hair in the long run! Thanks for watching!

[@stylebyfash]

@Lisa13245 Thats where acriylic overlay comes into play. That will stop them from chipping. Also take Biotin. They are vitamins.

[@stylebyfash]

@DeaidreSD89 Spandex caps fit alot looser. You can also use the mesh weaving cap.

[@stylebyfash]

@zaripow A much smaller closure. I normally don't leave as much leave out, but was a demo wig.

[@stylebyfash]

@TheVintagePoint Depends on how you close you sew the u-part.

[@stylebyfash]

@limzprettythang You leave enough hair to cover the shape of your U part. Depends how big/small your wig is. Yes there is some leave out on the side (1/2 inch). I use a flat iron to get it flat.

[@stylebyfash]

Thank you! I wear them all the time. I sew my wigs down now because the clips cause discomfort. If you plan to wear high ponys, then I suggest using a weaving net with adjustable straps. It fits much more secure.

[@stylebyfash]

@Misstee175 I actually displayed a picture where you can make the u alot smaller than demonstrated in the video. You can also sew the last track under the cap backwards so the weft doesn't show.

[@Leslkei]

This is the BEST informative how-to video I have watched on here! You are just amazing! I have learned so much from you since I have subscribed to your channel !! Im a single Mom of 3 so Im always looking for ways to save money when it comes to makeup, hair, shoes, etc.. Thank you for being you......

[@stylebyfash]

@TheVintagePoint It would look as natural, but it is more of a protective style. I have never heard of a natural line closure.

[@stylebyfash]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the love and support! :)

[@stylebyfash]

Definitely. I plan to get one as well.

[@stylebyfash]

@jaubertin Oh really? Wow, thanks for the heads up. I always have cornrows where I place the clips, and I take them out every night. Don't want bald spots!

[@stylebyfash]

@Sadayah Sure, it should work just as fine.

[@kashon621]

sooooo I tried to make one for the 2nd time yesterday with EPIC failure (lol) but your video is much more helpful than the ones i've seen previously....don't know how I didn't come across it sooner. Now I have the painful job of taking the other cap apart and sewing again...ur hair is amazing, very natural looking!

[@stylebyfash]

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@shorty40what]

I enjoyed the video. very informative and creative. you made it look so easy. I hope to have a great outcome as well. Can't wait to try it out. I have been wearing sew-ins for about two years and my hair has grown tremendously. however, i would like to give my natural hair more attention. Thanks so much for making a detailed video.It looks great on you and natural. not at all like a weave because how flat it lays.

[@dellhandler]

This has been one of the best videos I have seen on this technique...Great Tut!

[@stylebyfash]

@MAKEUPsparklez I am 100% natural. No relaxer since 09. Yes, I've used this technique for the last couple months.

[@mstismathis]

I thank you very much for your tutorial. Most people do not show you how to cut the cap after they are done AND you were able to demonstrate how to sew on the clips. This was very helpful

[@tpittman0405]

Thank you for showing what to do with the excess band. I have watched several videos and no one said to cut it off. Now I am ready to make one!!!

[@stylebyfash]

@katrinapri1 Yes, you get the same results with glue. It just would last as long.

[@Nluvwitfashion01]

You did a great job! This is exactly how I made mine with the wig clips and everything. It's so convenient to be able to take it off when you want to. I think I'm going to try the dome cap next time instead of the wig cap.

[@stylebyfash]

@geminiqueen963 No, but you can use either one.

[@envdmost]

Thank you for being so descriptive w/ this. Ugh, FINALLY someone who knows how to fully explain this!

[@stylebyfash]

@camimawusi Yes, just move the part over to the side.

[@FeleciaCarter75]

Very Professional... im very impressed, i will definitely follow your video when i make my first U-part wig.

[@Babyphat7094]

This is the best well thought out step by step video I have seen on you tube. Thank you for taking the time out to make this video!!! It's sooooo appreciated:()

[@stylebyfash]

Can you braid your hair at all? You can sew the back as well.

[@stylebyfash]

@sugaduga4u Correct. Yes, I braid my hair underneath.

[@MizzNika87]

It's currently 7 in the morning and I can't wait til my local BSS opens so I can pick up a cap, head, and some old hair from my closet try this out, thanks for sharing!

[@joyablewigs]

@ the vintagepoint I have the samething going on with short hair. I just bought a lace closure to complete the u-part. @lover4FASHION Bless your heart for taking the time out to show us how to look diva-ish muah!!!!!

[@stylebyfash]

@chazzmonj No. Just to secure the ends.

[@stylebyfash]

@nikki051985 I purchased it when I was in school for cosmetology. You can get them at some beauty stores, you just have to ask them.

[@stylebyfash]

@sadiakk Ive only made 2 which I am currently wearing.

[@stylebyfash]

@stareye8 No problem! Thanks for watching! I try my best to get back to everyone! :)

[@stylebyfash]

@Coccogurl12 Since you hair is tapered, just sew onto the hair that is long enough to braid in the back.

[@BelieveRobin]

loved it thanks so much it was very detailed..but if i get a foam head how would you advise me to keep it still or should i just in invest in one like you have with the stand. Since I will probably we making them often because regular weave are damaging my edges.

[@stylebyfash]

@themissseductress Just like a sew in. I just left out the hair in the top & covered the track.

[@Wigsbyvb]

I ve always loved u d first day I visited ur channel. girl u the bomb dot com. like everything bout u. ur style, ur fashion sense. evrything makes me wanna watch you each time you upload a new video. thanx loads 4 sharing this video. I just did my first upart wig. u inspire me. muahhh

[@stylebyfash]

Hope it turned out well!

[@TheChanelbelle]

Glad you're making this video because I've been doin this for years...now I can reference someone to this video to make this! Also, you can do the exact same thing with a full lace wig...just cut through the lace for the parting and apply the wig clips..thats what I do now......hope this helps

[@stylebyfash]

@stlstrueyekon It fit perfect! As you sew, it gets tighter.

[@trinipassion84]

Great tuturial best I've seen so far...How long does it last before you have to tighten the tracks?

[@stylebyfash]

You can use pins to hold it in place.

[@myssceodiva]

That was great!! You Rock! Thank you so much that was so helpful! But, I have a question on if you have curly type hair would you be able to wash the hair on the cap? Or, do you have advise just using a spray bottle instead? Thanks!

[@stylebyfash]

@MsPiggymac Yes you CAN!

[@naturalbeauty511]

Thank you sooooo much for this video!!!! It is so detailed from start to end. The best demonstration I have seen on you tube!!! I defintely will be trying this technique

[@JustAboutMyLife]

this is the best tutorial i've seen so far, u really encourage to try it 4 myself

[@stylebyfash]

The wig stretches once you cut it. Measuring the wig before you sew the hair can help with that.

[@stylebyfash]

Sorry for the late response. Yes, Bobbi Boss Ocean Wave is a good choice.

[@stylebyfash]

@l9radfo I don't sew my u-part onto my head. Thank you!

[@stylebyfash]

@gotentertainment Yes.

[@stylebyfash]

Onyc Hair has good closures. For a cheaper alternative try Alibaba. You purchase direct from vendors.

[@JesMarieBlondieJones]

U make it look so easy, very nice thou!

[@stylebyfash]

@september181985 To get a ponytail, you would have to sew your u-part on.

[@stylebyfash]

No you can do a side part as well. I normally do a middle part, but just move it to the side.

[@stylebyfash]

As you sew the hair onto the cap the thread will make it tighter. Tell her to try a weaving net. It wont shrink.

[@stylebyfash]

Lol! Thanks for watching!

[@LovingBeauty247]

Omggg this was so helpful> i want to try this so bad but because I recently cut my hair on the sides I didn't know how i was going to sew the wig to my head. Now i can use wig clips!! thanks so much for the information!

[@cIESHA1]

I love this video it's helped alot and I loveeee your other videos as well ! Don't stop making them & your outfits, makeup, &hair are always on point !

[@stylebyfash]

Good luck! Thanks for watching!

[@stylebyfash]

I got it in cosmetology school. Some beauty supply stores have it, but you just have to ask for it.

[@stylebyfash]

Awww :( you will have to use a bigger cap. Can you sew a few tracks on your hair before applying the wig to fill it in?

[@ashahill19]

Hi :) Thank you so much for such a detailed video its by far the best I've seen. I was just wondering....do you wear the u-parts often? Do you ever sew them down? I usually get sew ins and I leave a lot of hair out all around my perimeter to do high ponytails and stuff. Will I be able to do this with the u-part you showed here? Thanks in advance

[@stylebyfash]

@justanaijagirl You can get them at the local beauty supply.

[@tmar0721]

Great vid and I'm loving the technique. i've heard of half wigs, but I've never heard of the u-part technique. I think this technique offers a more natural look.

[@stylebyfash]

@pinksankofa You have to ask for it when you go the BSS. They ALWAYS have it. :)

[@stylebyfash]

Welcome!

[@stylebyfash]

Yes I cut the excess elastic.

[@Sadayah]

Hi Fash! Great video!!!....I know that you said you can go to get fitted for a wig or take your own measurements. If I were making this wig for myself, do you think it would be easier to put the cap on my head first then take a white pencil and mark my measurements with a cap on versus off?

[@stylebyfash]

Thank you for subscribing!

[@bmcgowan18]

OMG! Gr8 vid. I've bn wanting to venture into extensions & weaves but I wanted to protect my natural hair as well and this technique is what I've bn lookingf or FOREVER!!! Thanks a bunch, sooo helpful ;)

[@stylebyfash]

Yes I do.

[@Hellolleh]

I swear ive learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing. Im going to try this. Cute shirt btw. Lol. One question...are you sewing through the wefts or under.

[@stylebyfash]

Yes.

[@OHoneyPot]

I'm going to invest in a mannequin and start trying these styles. You're very informative. Thanks for sharing your talents once again.

[@stylebyfash]

Yes, the wig cap fits better.

[@MzVan21]

yes this was VERY helpful infact this is the best video ive seen on this technique..Question: how much do those wig caps cost at the bss?..also if i was to sew around the perimeter should i leave a little bit of the cap on?...or just cut it all around like you did?

[@katrinapri1]

Very lovely, I wanted to know if you could glue the wefts on or do you have to sew it? Thank you.

[@mzbonitap]

This was really an awesome video...I think I will try this with some "cheap" hair first..lol..This will cut down so much time getting a sew in...You are truly talented :)

[@6ysopoku]

this was soooooo useful. your the first person that i really understood the concept of the wig thankss

[@lovinlifetoday33]

@soaringsolo i love when i come across a video where the youtuber- does the following: -speaks well- detail but to the point- does not smack- has a smooth video this video has alll the above- thank you god. Some of these vids make me think I have A.D.D. lol. but this is a great informative vid without all the extra pointless information. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. AND IM MOTIVATED TO DO THIS NOW.

[@TreWayLetsPlay]

Omg I can't get enough of your videos and that hair is so gorgeous I guess that will be my next purchase love it. Is that the hair in the natural state?

[@stylebyfash]

I don't see myself wearing sew ins for a long time either. Thanks for watching!

[@AmandaLeeds]

That's really nice. Do u leave out any hair at the front around your edges?

[@stylebyfash]

Definitely.

[@stylebyfash]

@LadyBugRobyn Thank you :) NYX Algae.

[@stylebyfash]

@AseeyahJanay Welcome! Good luck!

[@stylebyfash]

@licialicous You can search simple cornrows going straight back. My technique isn't any different. Just 6 large braids.

[@stylebyfash]

@lewisNISHA Not for mine, it fits perfectly.

[@stylebyfash]

@stylenspirit Maybe the cap is simply too large. It wont work for everyone's head shape. Some brands have different sizes.

[@stylebyfash]
