Have you ever wanted to get your hair done but you were too short on money to go to a hair salon? Follow these steps as I explain how to make a wig. This is something I’ve learned how to do and is something easy you can learn. A wig can be any type of style that you choose, especially when you are making it with your own hands. You will first need to start on a clean head of hair. The state of your natural hair is important, but it is minor if your hair is clean and protected. This will save time in the long run. You will then proceed to go to your local beauty supply store. You will then start the process of choosing and purchasing items. The items you will need are a comb and a brush, a bottle or two of bonding glue, one to two packs of hair extensions/weave, a wig cap which comes in packs of two and a pack of plastic shower caps and a blow dryer along with scissors.

Now that you have gotten your items home, you are ready to start making your wig. You will open your pack of wig caps and apply it to your natural hair to cover your natural hair and to protect it. You can braid your hair, or you may simply cover it with the cap. Once you have placed the wig cap over your hair you will then place the wig cap over the shower cap. After you have done this, you will then open your first pack of hair and prepare to measure it to your hair. After you open your pack of hair you will measure the hair and cut it. You will apply the glue to the weave and make sure it is secure.

cleYou will continue to do this until your hair is full and you can no longer see the shower cap or the wig cap. The importance of your hair being clean and covered ties into the idea of why we are using a wig cap. The wig cap protects your hair from the bonding glue that you will use to glue down the tracks. If you decide to braid your hair under the wig cap this can also aid in the protection of your natural hair because your hair is secure. Having clean hair will aid in your wig creation coming out better. Cleaning your hair before you start making your wig also can help save time as well.

The way that making a wig yourself will save you time and a trip to the salon is because you become the stylist and the salon all in one. You can get the same pampering and treatment at home and the same finished product as well. By doing your own hair you control the outcome of your hair because you are following these steps. If you make a mistake, you can go back and correct it. Making a wig on your own will also give you a feeling of accomplishment and achievement.

One notable discussion we can talk about is hair weave extensions. Hair weave extensions have been around for a very long time. Hair weave extensions aid enhancing your look if you choose to. This is the reason why having them is necessary to creating your own wig. When you use your hair weave extensions you create the look that you are desiring.

Now that you have followed the steps listed above you should feel both proud and a sense of relief. You cleaned your hair and protected , you went to the beauty supply store and got all of your items and then you used all of your items to create your beautiful wig. Most of all you saved money and a costly trip to the hair salon. The result is wonderful and now you know what steps to take when you want to make another wig. The hair salon will always be there and they will always pamper you and treat you and your hair very nice but it’s great to learn on your own.
