DIY CUSTOM MANNEQUIN | WIG WILL FIT PERFECT EVERY TIME

[@sharondaholston6825]

I followed your instructions and my mannequin and my wig came out perfect👧🏽

[@sinespeut2067]

You can get the mannequin head on amazon for $25 instead if 40

[@eji1829]

honesty your so underrated this deserves 1 million views this is so good

[@juleenforbes]

Thanks for the compliment it means a lot to hear that.

[@trishrenee06]

I agree! Exactly what I needed to see!

[@carriewhite4449]

I agree

[@ChastityJaye]

Okay, so first off, this is a great video! Very helpful! But before I run off to buy supplies I wanted to ask: the first layer of tape is to block damage from T pins, the padding is to add size, and the second layer of tape is to secure the padding. My question is, how do I know how much padding to add based on my measurements? I apologize if you stated it, but I tend to need extra math help lol

[@juleenforbes]

Everything you stated is correct. You’ll have to measure each time you add a layer to get your exact measurements.

[@ChastityJaye]

Juleen Forbes Okay!!! Thank you so so much!!! This was extremely helpful! I appreciate you! ❤️❤️✨

[@anngreen3263]

I paid $45 for a customized wig head size 22 and they sent me 23.5! Wasn't until 2 months later I decided to actually measure it. So happy to have found this video. Dollar Tree here I come! Thank you so much!

[@juleenforbes]

I'm so happy I was able to help.

[@karengreen3026]

Thank you sooooo much ! I almost spent unnecessary money on a wig block!

[@juleenforbes]

I'm here to save you some money. lol

[@emilycooper5814]

LOVE THIS!! This is probably the most detailed and easy to follow tutorial on a DIY custom Mannequin head. I style many wigs for Comicon and I have a pretty big head and very thick hair. Cannot wait to try it out! Thank you!

[@juleenforbes]

Thanks for watching Emily, I tried to make it very easy for everyone to understand and follow

[@RareBreed2013]

that information was well needed for myself. I've made several wigs on mannequin heads and they never fit on my head because it was too tight, so thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@lucymakuti9345]

.

[@Bella-fl5ok]

Lord... thank u! Because I was about to pay 50 dollars! God bless dear

[@angelahouston7346]

Thanks for showing how to customize the foam mannequin head the frugal way! I wrapped my foam one in duct tape and the dome cap doesn't stick to it to the point that I can't remove it. Now I will wrap it again with the shelf liner & more duct tape. You are a blessing to your viewers! TFS!

[@juleenforbes]

Thanks Angela, I appreciate your support. It's always a good thing when you can save money

[@CaraMarieTV]

I have a big head so this will come In handy!!! I tried making a wig 2 months ago and it ended up being to small and I was so angry but I’m doing this method!! And adding that beanie 😂😂😂 thank you

[@2224BLKPRINCESS]

There was no better way to break it down ... very good information and tips, considering I’m making my first wig next week. Again, Thank you 😘

[@neishachambers2719]

Thank you I'm just confused about one thing. I saw you take down your measurements but I'm a little confused as to how you incorporated those measurements into the building up of the wig head

[@Kkaypalmer]

same here

[@duwanova7647]

Ty you for explaining yourself step, by step. You are way to underrated. The best I've seen yet. And I will absolutely subscribe.

[@mcquellpratt79]

Love the idea of the bennie for padding. Less tape

[@juleenforbes]

Tapping takes forever and I'm always looking for the easier way. Thanks for watching

[@beautybypash7362]

I just looked on amazon to see how much they are. Then i hoped right on YT bc i KNEW somebody had to have a DIY! GLAD YOURS POPPED UP FIRST!!!

[@quetta31]

I️ no longer have nothing to do tonight! Thanks to the store I go! Great job, so simple....i have never had a wig before (small head) but i am ready now

[@Lady_Voronkova]

5:02... The music about scared me to death... I don't think I've ever jumped that high before 😂😂😂👏🏻

[@carradine32ify]

Thank you so much for sharing. I was actually on Amazon about to order $27 Canvas head and good thing I went back on you tube and found your video before ordering. Your handmade is better especially if I'm going to be making wigs for other.

[@shonelllewis2019]

I never thought of this! I’m so happy I found this before I bought the more expensive one. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@juleenforbes]

Shonell I’m here to help save money 💰. Thanks so much for watching

[@antoinetter4678]

Thanks for sharing I always wondered why my wig could not fit once finish. I'm so happy I came across your channel. 🙌🏾

[@sharonsangel2]

Thank you for this video! I knew there had to be more to life then sitting there wrapping tape around a mannequin head 100 times! I wish I could like this video more than once!

[@juleenforbes]

Yu are too sweet. All that tape 100 times I can't and neither will you. lol

[@MsMuliebrity]

I love my people...were so innovative. We definitely know how to improvise and save a coin! 😍💙 Great video! Thank you Sis. Forbes!

[@juleenforbes]

Thanks Adisa, I love to save those coins

[@nathangray8354]

You rock! Thank you!! I've been wanting something to put my costume wigs on but I didn't want to spend a fortune on one! Love it!

[@lthomas8515]

had to comeback and thank you.. I did this over 2 years ago and love it

[@juleenforbes]

This makes me happy

[@Lifewithnani1217]

Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m trying to get a better understanding. So I’m basically adding layers to get the styrofoam heads ear to ear measurements to match my ear to ear measurements? So then when I put my wig cap on the mannequin it’ll fit the same as my head ?

[@telishiaa]

So glad I stumbled upon this video because when Im done making my wig it only covers half of my head omg thank you!!!!

[@juleenforbes]

Only half OMG that's a struggle. I hope this helps.

[@morganfeaganes7051]

Great idea! I've never had a wig, or extensions. I've been watching tons of videos! I can't wait to try something fun and different!! Thanks!

[@shinckson-gibson3793]

This was the best thing I’ve ever sat an watched on KZbin. It helped me so much, thank you a billion

[@Paradiselife-13]

Good idea thanx for sharing...didn't think to use a liner👍🏽👍🏽

[@juleenforbes]

I came across it in the dollar tree and a light bulb went off in my head. lol.

[@sharondaholston6825]

I just love you! I have always wanted to make my own wigs but was afraid .Thank you for step by step instructions on how make, cut, style etc.

That was my very first video I ever made now you are making me make one of yours because , I love the idea even though I have several wig blocks , but I think it would be fun.....Thanks for making one they told me 7 years ago that what I made was a joke.

[@ceoofhenjoyment]

Glad I saw this video! Don't need to spend so much on a mannequin head, I rather use that to get me some good quality frontals and bundles. Definitely going to use the duct tape method #studentbudget 😂

[@juleenforbes]

I’m happy to help, use that money for quality frontal yes I agree.

[@eyekandy3000]

Thanks for this- my wigs were always too small and now I modified my foam head so much better.

[@juleenforbes]

You rly just saved my pockets oml thank you soooooo much for this

[@juleenforbes]

You’re welcome, I’m happy to help

[@Kim-ne5cp]

Hello I love how your wig fits natural! So I measured at a 21.5, what canvas head do you suggest I get 21 or 22 to make my wig? Someone mentioned sewing the tracks on a cap will that affect the size of cap and the wig will be smaller which is why I’m leaning toward 22? What do you think?

[@juleenforbes]

It all depends on the caps that you use, if there's a lot of stretch then you can get a size 21. Avoid sewing directly on the seams of the cap. If you get a size 22 and the unit is larger than your head you'll have to sew an elastic band inside.

[@porshapope1919]

Just when I was about to waste money on an expensive mannequin head! Thank you so much ! 🙏🏽

[@simpleme5719]

Thank You. Question as you applied the items,were measuring to make sure it came out to your measurements? I need to make one asap,but I have a bigg head.

[@katieanderson1040]

I Bought every on ya list for 10 bucks. My dollar store os call dollarama in canada. But it's really roller plus .no one items cost more than 4 bucks in the whole store

[@juleenforbes]

There’s no true dollar store I can’t believe it you guys are getting cheated. Lol. That’s still a great price, please update me and let me know how it came out.

[@Hairandbeautybybola]

Many thanks for this video. Can you tell me what cap is that you are using please?

[@juleenforbes]

If you’re talking about the wig cap it’s a mesh dome cap by Mr. Durag. The other pink cap for padding is a beanie from the dollar tree. I’m sorry I didn’t know which cap you were talking about so I mentioned both

[@nieceienation]

THANK YOU!!!! Thank you soooo much omg!! 😩😭❤️ I just made a wig and was sooo happy about it but guuuurrrrll when I put that thing on I was so mad 😡 😂 I thought I had to get a canvas head but I'm going to try this diy. Thanks again hun 👌🏽😊

I'm happy to help, thanks for watching

[@dominicankandie5957]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! An FYI you can also purchase those canvas wig blocks on Amazon for less than $40. Got mine for $27 I believe it was. Tfs 😊

[@juleenforbes]

That's true, it's possible to find them for cheaper if they're not custom ordered and depending on what material they're filled with.

[@Learning29]

i wish you hadn't stopped. i wants to see until the end. did you keep adding liners or more duct tapes to get the extact head measurement?

[@Learning29]

sorry if you already mentioned it but I'm hearing impaired. Thank you

[@juleenforbes]

I stopped because that was the size that I needed, It's best to measure as you go that way you'll know if you should keep adding layers.

[@juleenforbes]

Not a problem, thanks so much for watching

[@soseductivebundlez2055]

Juleen Forbes thanks so much lov.Do you think this a great way to customize wigs for ppl and not just ur self I want to start making wig?

[@BrittanysPerspective]

Once I take the wig off the head and it is completed will it go back to it's original size (before tracks were sewn on it)? I just don't want it to end up not fitting again. What keeps the cap Strech's it after completing the wig? This video was very helpful.

[@beverlyjohns2589]

Amazing! So excited to try this. I'll be making my very first wig with this😉 I'm going to do the 27 piece pixie cut. Thanks for sharing your talent with us😘

[@TheCRYSTALLURE]

Amazing!!! I was wondering and trying to figure out a way to get the bulky ness without all that damn tape. Glad I stumbled upon your video. Got all the products today. Can’t wait to try this.

[@juleenforbes]

I couldn't sit there with several rolls of tapes wrapping a mannequin. Too much time and not enough patience seriously.

[@TheCRYSTALLURE]

Juleen Forbes 😹you ain’t ever lied.

I cannot wait to try this!! You’re a lifesaver!! 😊

[@cannedsoup9331]

I need this for maniquin head dances.

[@Jay.Laurent]

Hi Juleen! What's the purpose of the padding? Is it to give the head styrofoam head extra size? or is it to push the pin in easier? Or maybe a different reason? Would love to know!

[@juleenforbes]

The padding is to make it bigger. You could use tape by itself but that would take all day

[@theewealththerapist]

Would u still recommend this method for people with small heads, my wigs (that ive bought) have always been big. About to start making my own

[@juleenforbes]

If your head is smaller than 21 then you wouldn't need to add any filler you can use a utility knife to shave it down to your head size

[@tellmemore7719]

Yessss, that's what I'm talking about.

[@juleenforbes]

Great idea. Are those measurements for a small head? I order my wigs in small and they fit fine. If so, woukd I just need to follow your method by covering the head just as you? Tfs

Thanks for this video I love this technique. I used packaging tape by wrapping around the mannequin & it was not sturdy at all
