Description
Whoo! My first tutorial, ever~Sorry for the bad quality guys, it was evening and I had to make do with a few lights to make clear pics... xD;;
Anyway, here are a few questions answered which some of you might want answered:
Can I use other kinds of glue than a glue gun?
To be honest, I have no idea...
; Other glues might take too long to dry. I only used a glue gun for this and I find that it sticks nicely and hardens fast enough for me to be able to get some quick work done.How long did it take you to make Zeki's wig?
About 25 mins, that's including taking the pictures. For bigger wigs it tends to take a few minutes more.
Where did you get your wefts from?
I took apart one of my own wigs... xD;; then I cut the wefts to a manageable size for creating a doll wig ^^
Will any kind of weft do?
I suppose? I find that the cheaper the wig, the cheaper the quality, but $4 dollar wigs can be used just as well as $20 dollar wigs- I've used them both and will continue to do so ^^
Doesn't look like I can really cut a nice fringe from that wig...
That's because I didn't take a fringe into account- when I make a wig with a separate fringe, it tends to take a bit more planning.
Do you have plans of uploading a tutorial for a wig with a fringe?
Maybe, we'll see ^^
Did you make Yume's wig as well?
No, I bought that one :3
Do you have a question that wasn't answered here? Then don't hesitate to ask it :3

How do you dismantle a human wig into wefts?

I turn the wig inside out and then remove the seams attaching the wefts to the wigcap with one of these:

A small pair of scizzers or a fine knife and a lot of patience do the trick as well! ^^

Thanks. ^^..
I managed to figure it out. The wig I bought already was coming apart so It made it easy, I think I did pretty good, I'm actually going to make her a fourth wig tonight since I still have hair and I messed up cutting the first one.

If there's one thing you can count on when taking apart a human wig, is that it'll give you enough wefts for a small army of doll wigs xD
I'm a bit late in replying this time, but how did your new wig work out? ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty good, It's a little messy towards the top but I'm hoping some boilwashing and some styling will help with that.
And I know. xD
I have a whole bag of hair still. I can't wait to buy more wigs for my other dolls in other colors.

Hopefully you'll get it working out properly! ^^
I really should go back to making wigs again soon xD

Not a lot, really. It's a bit hard to say because I tend to buy human wigs and take them apart, but I'd say about half a meter for a nice, full wig.

So about two and a half feet maybe?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
According to a converter, it will be "1ft 711⁄16in"
It's just an estimate though, as I never really measured xD;; Just in case, make sure to have a bit more ^^

Well, two feet sounds like it would do it. Thank you!

How would one go about making a wig this way with a straight part down the middle? This tutorial is perfect for me, my doll just doesn't have bangs XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am... not completely sure xD;
I do have something in mind that might work, but I'll have to try it out to make sure. If you're still interested, I can see if I can get it to work ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would love that! I can't really find anything that explains middle parts without bangs for wigs, and my doll is going to be so big...and his hair so fucking long...I'd really, really appreciate that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is just a quick guess, will try it out and work on it when I actually get some more hair wefts, but maybe something like this could help?

Shape the wig-cap into a bit of a more natural form and start attaching the wefts like that so that they fall down to the side on both parts. It would leave a center part on the top.
Ofc, the hair parts would need to fall over the rims as well.
... Not sure if that actually made sense to you, I think it barely made sense to me xD;;
Hopefully I'll have some wefts in somewhere next month, then I'll be able to mess around to try to find you a solution ^^

Oh that might work

I made a real quick [and, admittingly, really bad quality] wig that doesn't have bangs. Though they're a bit unclear, I snapped some pics of the progress. If you're still interested in seeing it, I'll put them together for you ^^

Yeah I'd love to see that

Hope it helps!

Okay, so instead of a circle, do rainbow shaped weft patterns from side to side, back of the head to front, and then for the main part, did you do two different wefts to the two separate sides?
Thank you sososo much for this, it helps me so much, you have no idea XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I pretty much just did the rainbow thing the entire time xD;
At the top I just made a U out of one piece, but I guess that would depend on how you want it to look. You can also put two seperate pieces against each other to do || instead of U.
I... hope that made sense xD;;
At anyway, you're welcome! ^^

Hmmmmm. I'll have to test it out
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem! ^^
I definitely want to see pictures if you succeed

aw never thought you could glue the hairs! Awesome! Thanks!

You're welcome! So far I've been able to catch my dolls by the hair without the hairs letting go, haha~

If nothing else you'll have something good to hold onto should they ever fall over (asuming the wig caps aren't loose) xD

hahaha I will try this! I have tons of hairs I bought from Leeke long time ago, they need to be wigged!
