DETAILED HOW TO MAKE A LACE CLOSURE WIG | BEGINNER FRIENDLY TUTORIAL

This is my detailed how to make a lace closure wig video. It’s super beginner friendly, I tried to cover all the things I struggled with when I made my first wig.
I MAKE WIGS - www.witharielle.com
THINGS YOU’LL NEED
Canvas Block (if you plan to make wigs often this will make the process much easier)
Styrofoam Head (will do, especially if it’s your first time… you may decide you don’t even like making wigs and these can be found in beauty supply stores for like $5)
Bundles
Thread
Scissors
Cap (mesh caps are the only ones I use now, but I learned how to make wigs on spandex.. it’s all about preference)
Pins
Clips
Patience (my first time making a wig it took me 2 days, 2 WHOLE DAYS… )
If this is your first wig take your time and feel it out. I gave you the basic tips because once you learn that you can drift off and make your own way. As long as the wig fits, is secure, and lays flat ( and girl if you get curly hair it don’t even need to lay flat) you did it! The stitches do not have to be pretty to the eye unless you are making the wig to sell then you need to do everything clean and precise.. but idk why you would need to watch this video.
Put a series on Netflix and start that wig, happy wig making!
Do not try and make your first wig a few hours before an important event without a plan B. I hope this helps someone. I really do.
** canvas block is a 22 because my head is 22inches around

Cut holes in your cap where you did not sew it will loosen up the cap.

Lmfao not a helmet sis lol.😭😭😭 Was your hair braided flat???

[@Sinful_loveee]

withArielle lol no I slicked my hair into a bun and tried to do the hot glue method. Plus I like my wigs super full so I stuffed hella hair on it and it looked a fool😂 and every time I try to sew a wig they end up too small🙄

[@withArielle]

Lmao 😂😂😂 you need to gone head and braid that hair down! I went through a couple of wig cap before I found one that works for me, everyone has different preferences. I have a video on a wig that's just big hair that you might like.

If i wanted a side part can i just turn the part or will i have to sew the closure on the side

[@withArielle]

You can just shift the wig to the side that's what I do. I have never just sewn a closure on the side for a side part. Once I have my part defined I leave it alone and never move it for lace closure wigs.
