QuoteReplyTopic: Wig out of Skin Wefts??? Posted: March 06 2008 at 9:58am
I just got into making wigs with wefted hair and just had a thought of making one with skin wefted hair? I wonder what I could use to keep the wefts on the wig cap without having to sew??? Hmmmm...anyone try this?

I know a couple have done it but i've personally not attempted that, i guess you need to allow your creative juices to get to running over.. i'd pray about it to b/c the Lord will open up your vision for you..

You could, but it's all about the wig base you choose.. You need one that will be condusive to gluing tracks.. I would also say that I would not attempt making this kind of with without a wig block the same size as your head.. With this kind of construction and materials, the fit is going to be key..
^^right fit is key and remember the skinwefts are kinda 'stretchy' so make sure u pull them taut before glue'ing. I have done this before but i used an industrial glue (hardbond) and didn't plan to try to remove and re-use the skwefts.
BTW, wghere did u get skinwefts? are they curly by chance?

What kind of glue did you use? And what kind of wig cap did you use? I don't have them yet but I think I am going to purchase some straight ones and perm them curly...Curly skin wefts are hard to find...
I don't remember which adhesive it was. But it was la-front hardbond glue so TRUST it was too expensive to just be buying it for that purpose. I had it in stash but it didn't work for my units so i used it to make wigs. Maybe Essence will remember which glue it was 'cause i think she used it also. But i doubt u'd want to buy it for making a wig. I DO remember that the adhesive was around $30 for the bottle. I think it's basically krazy glue tho lol
I used the deluxe weaving cap (labeled). I tried doing one on stocking cap but the 'bond' got too hard and made the cap scratchy.
