That's what I'm aiming for, so I'm glad you're enjoying it! A lot of the methods for wig creation are similar, but there are many ways to put them all together so I want to do what I can to show as many as possible.

I use water soluble stabilizer... it melts in water and leaves just the hair and thread :) Then it can be sewn to the stretch lace wig caps.

@ZangelDemon5 жыл бұрын
Once the alpaca weft is sewn and the stabilizer removed, do you cut the excess hair that's been folded over before sewing the weft to a wig cap? Dolls are small scale and I worry not doing so would bulk the wig up. Would cutting the excess compromise the integrity of the weft? Since it's a natural fiber that has a cuticle, if I'm not mistaken, wouldn't the folded excess hair be running opposite to how the rest of the weft's hair is going? Would leaving the excess on and then brushing the wig (the hair shafts going in opposite directions) cause tangling? Please forgive me asking so many questions. I've not used natural fiber before for wig-making so I'm pretty in the dark when it comes to this.
@LomisPlayground5 жыл бұрын
I don't cut it because my dolls are larger, so I can get by with just adding fewer wefts and it doesn't change things. Despite the fiber's cuticle, it's best to leave it longer so that it's more resistant to having hair pulled from the weft. You get some pulled out no matter what you do, but this does help reduce it. I've gotten to work with some human hair wefts before and they're made this way as well. It doesn't seem to cause a whole lot of problems to have the strands laying in different directions, but that could be because they don't get handled a whole lot, being for dolls. :)

Hi there. Why did you use a different method for the orange hair? Isn't the brown hair also synthetic?
@LomisPlayground Жыл бұрын
No, the brown is natural fiber from an alpaca :) So it has a "grain" to the hair and lays differently than synthetics do.

So, why not just buy synthetic weave hair that already has a weft? Just asking.
@LomisPlayground6 жыл бұрын
Some types of synthetic hair don't come in all colors, or don't have the same texture or feel of saran or nylon hair, which typically do not come in wefts. The orange hair I used in this video is actually leftover fiber from wefts that were far too long to use for a doll, but when you have a foot of fiber cut free, it'd be a huge waste to just throw it out. Knowing how to use the leftovers to make new wefts saves money and saves the synthetic trimmings from going to the landfill, too :)

It's water soluble stabilizer. You can get it most places that sell fabric, it's designed to give fabrics more strength so they can be used in things like embroidery machines without stretching or tearing. :)
