Wig Tutorials

10/27/2019

I've been getting so many requests from people on Facebook asking how I make my hard cap wigs, that I finally sat down and put the tutorials together. I had already taken all the photos when I made David and Phairby's wigs back in the spring. So here they are.....

One important thing to remember is that making a nice wig requires a lot of artistic decisions that are impossible to explain, and a lot depends on the curl of the mohair one is using.  I am also no hair stylist. I just took photos of how I made some wigs, and tried to explain it as best as I could.  I have not covered how to make a part, since it's not something I'm even comfortable with myself yet, although I did try something new with Baron's wig that might seem promising.  So, maybe some day instructions for a part will get added.

​Anyways, there you go!   And best of luck!

Thank you so much for putting these tutorials together! All the photos and instructions give a clear picture of how to go about making a wig. Now I just have to muster up the courage to try making one for my KID Wyatt :o)

Just go slow, one small step at a time, and remember that I've been making wigs for years, and my first wigs didn't look this good either.

But the more you do it, the better they usually get.
