Hi everyone!
Thank God it's Friday, a holiday (Democracy Day in Nigeria), a day of change and hope (the inauguration of our new president) and my birthday!
Last week I attended my cousin's wedding and at the very last minute (the night before) decided that I would attempt making a crochet wig. There are numerous tutorials on YouTube and it's pretty easy.
All you need are a weaving/wig cap, crochet needle (I prefer bobby pins though), extensions (I used a kinky braid, and also Cuban twists), scissors and finally a wig head.
The first one I made with the kinky braiding hair was a hit and I liked the texture because it was soft and light - my sister took it from me though. I used 2 packs for this one.
The second one, I made (for my other sister) using Cuban twists and while it's not as soft as the other hair, it matches my texture so well. So much so that I can leave hair out and try different styles. I used 1.5 packs for this one.
Here are some great tutorials below.
Have a very nice weekend, and if you have 2 hours on your hands, you can try making this wig. Some people dip the hair in hot water while rolled up to have a curly/ringlet effect - it's up to you.
I'm gonna try this...
ReplyDeleteYay, it's pretty easy
DeleteMy favourite post so far this year.
ReplyDeleteAwww, sweet! Thanks!
DeleteThank you Berry.
ReplyDeleteUm. How do I get that weaving/wig cap? I haven't seen that type before.
I got it from the US but they should be available here in Nigeria. Just not sure where
DeleteNice one Berry.
ReplyDeleteI saw the post on your blog and was excited about it.
Thanks.
Thanks Idy
DeleteBeautiful! Very real too! I also don't like the crochet hook and feel more comfortable with bobby pins.
