- Comb the ends of the base wig
- Sew a bunch of hairs together
- Comb and blend the hair ends
- Finished!
Now, let's get started!
Procedure Details
1. cut the base wig longer than the target length.
　　For tips on cutting, check out the blog post below.
â—†Newbies must see! â—†Quick cut and basic cutting methods.
2. straighten the ends of the base wig using a hair iron or similar tool.
3. comb the ends of the base wig with a pair of carding scissors.
At this time, please comb the wig vertically.
The key is to comb out the hairs that stick out on the surface!
4. Cut hair bundles according to the width of the gradient area.
　　The number of hair bundles for gradation depends on the volume of the hair ends.
　　Prepare 6 to 10 hair bundles, adjusting them to achieve the ideal volume. 5.
Sew the hair bundles to the base wig.
Sew a bunch of hairs for gradations to the base wig between the two wigs.
Sew a bundle of hair from the base wig → an additional bundle of hair for the gradient → a bundle of hair from the base wig? and
Sew in alternating directions.
One point of advice
If the color of the base wig is light (white, silver, etc.), use two additional hair bundles for the gradient for a more beautiful finish.
The number of gradient hair strands to be sewn depends on the color of the base wig, so check the finished product before sewing.
6. Comb the border of the gradient and blend.
7. Cut, adjust the length, set, and you are done!
Please refer to the character wigs made in the same way♪
