That looks great , love the hair texture . I have done the same with my wagmans Ns , sewn the hair on to a wig cap , cut up a old Lf for a closure and sewed on around the periminter . Im def gonna make a couple more if I can find me some hair .

| Hey girl! **waves back** Thanks girl.. Yep, got my wig block, and I was off like a bat out of hell..  
I'm really digging this wig.. It's the first time I've worn a wig, and didn't feel slightly self-conscious while wearing it.. I've been wanting to make a wig for a while now.. Finally got inspired this weekend.. My current work schedule is making it nearly
impossible for me to schedule my next install.. So last week I did my
takedown, and slapped on one of my phony ponies. I also bought a coupla
of cute synthetic wigs to wear.
I was gonna roll with that until I can get my next install done, but
all last week I realized that while synth phony ponies were okay, synth
wigs were a different story.. IMO syth wigs are great for occasional
wear, but after a week of the synth wigs, I realized that IF I was
going to wear a wig for more than just an occasion, I would prefer to
wear a human hair wig.. So I got inspired to finally make at least ONE
of the wigs I had said I was going to make..

Diva i remember u kept threatening to get in on the wig making challenge with us but u never did.lol. I know time is always a factor tho. But aren't they fun to make? I use cut lfront pieces for my part area. I use the deluxe weaving cap which i think u can find at gmbshair.com. I made a couple using the regular thick stretchy weaving net and that one is easy to sew on. But u can sew on the deluxe weaving cap type too.

| Girl I wasn't going to get on board til I found an easier way to do it.. All that talk about making saran wrap head molds and putting plastic bags on your head, & gluing tracks, etc had me stepping back and bowing down to you queens..  Then I re-read some of Jolie Princess' posts, and decided that I wouldn't do it unless I had a wigblock to ensure that the wig fit MY head.. (Plus it meant I could construct the whole thing OFF my own head) So after a week of synth wigs and phony ponies last week I got inspired.. Already planning out the next ones.. I might use the weaving cap for one, but I'm really leaning towards one of these bases:
~ http://mhrw.com/a-frenchlacecaps.html - STRETCH - Wig Cap
~ http://hisandher.com/hair_extensions/shop/accessories/materials_for_wig_hairpiece_making/cutaway_base_and_wig_bases/main_006/sub_007/23/details.html - Cutaway Base and Wig Bases (I'm torn between options D, E, & F. I will have to go down to His & Hers to see all three bases in person)
I also am thinking about de-constructing one of my old raggedy phony ponies I don't wear anymore and replacing the hair with human hair.. Yep.. I've created a real monster..

Diva, i agree. I make mine that way also except i use the bust of my actual head that DH made for me. I remember u were looking into getting a wig block. Glad it worked out for u.
Checked your links and i have all those bases u posted. I got about 20 bases from his/her while ago. I notice they don't carry the integration bases anymore. Wonder what happened w/ those. I liked those for kinky curly wigs because i could pull my own hair thru them to blend in

| Girl a wig block is the move!! I'm glad I waited to try making a wig till I got one, and I would never try making a wig without one.. It ensured me that the finished wig would actually fit my head.. I did use my regular styrofoam head for sewing on the closure.. It was easier to "visualize" the closure on my styrofoam head than my wig block..
I think His and Her still carries the integration bases.. Is this what you were looking for? http://hisandher.com/hair_extensions/shop/accessories/materials_for_wig_hairpiece_making/skin_base_integration_base_mesh/main_006/sub_007/24/details.html - Skin Base, Integration Base, & Mesh

Diva, no that's not the one i was talking about but i have that one too lol. But the link u posted from his & her for 'cutaway base & wig bases' -- they used to have 2 other types listed on that page The one labeled "E"-- see how it's 'open' in back? The one i liked was like that all over, and is a little more stable than the one labeled "Skin base Integration Base".
I posted pix of it on BHM lemme see if i still have links. I did call them askingn about it and the lady said they didn't sell a nymore. I liked that one best so of course it's the one they don't carry anymore lol.
But keep it up, u'll be ventilating hair soon lol

ZZ: yeah your link works. That's the same one i used before too called deluxe weaving cap. I used those to make my "U cut out" wigs w/ top part cut out for my own natural hair to make a center part. Diva, u remember when JadeDimps and I (and others) were doing the hairpiece challenge where we made wigs and cut out some of it to have our own hair out. Thoseworked nicely but i think adding the snap clips for center part got the best of us in those -- those clip combs can break your hair if u not careful.

Diva, on a side note, HBoutique must allow more posts per page than BHM. I was wondering why your thread hadn't made 2 pages yet w/ all the replies. On BHM it would have been up to 3 pgs by now i think lol

That is good to know...what kind of bases are you looking into? I want to step up my game as well. I plan to get some Wagman's Relaxed Straight and do a wig outta that as well...I am in love because I sew it down in for four different places and then plan to take it down each week for a weekly deep conditioning and a good wash...so this is so ideal...

stretches.. I figure it will be similar to wearing a net weave..
