HAIR TALK 101: U-PART WIGS (OR 3/4 WIGS OR U-SHAPED WIGS)

This is a LONNNNG over due post, considering Ive been doing u-part wigs since 2010...any who, better late than never!

This hair technique has taken the YouTube world by storm!! lol everybody has hoped on the u-part bandwagon, and they should!

Honestly, this technique is soooo convenient and easy to do!

What is a U-shape wig?
A. U-part wigs are wigs that leave a portion of your hair out at the front.  As a person is coming to the near top of the the wig, they simply would lay the final track in a u-shape.  After that, they would just cut out the U and either:

1. sew on weave clips to each side and snap it into your hair
or
2. sew the entire unit to your head, with having your desired amount of hair left at the front and blend

confusing?? :S

Maybe so, its hard to explain it all in words, but the procedure itself is easy to do.

There are many different materials and techniques to do a u-part wig..everyone has their preference.

Anywho, U-part wigs beat sew in weaves anyday. If you use clips, you can easily remove the wig each night.  Also it makes it easier to take care of you real hair compared to having a sew in weave. Its another great protective style as well!

HAIR TALK 101: Wigged OUT!

Soooo...i made a custom quick weave and/or wig for myself! WOOT!

I was not sure how it would turn out :S but quite happy with the results!! I get compliments on my hair alll the time! =)

     Items used:

• Styrofoam head
• weaving net
• needle
• thread
• weave-i used 14" and 16"
• scissors

Pretty much just placed the weave net on the head and started sewing...and when i got to the closure part i sewed a tiny circle but still wasn't too sure how to do the closure by sewing so i just glued it in...

I didn't do it in one sitting..so don't know exactly how long it took..heres a vid (my first one *squeal*) of me just kinda talkin bout it..

enjoy!

WHY? Well for one, I wanted to give my hair a break so figured this would be a great way too..an advantage to wigs is that you can take them on and off each day and it makes it easier to take care of your real hair underneath...for example to moisturize and seal every night... also its a great protective style, especially in this chilly winter/spring season of ours.

Also, by doing it on my own, I save money. If i didn't like it, i could only blame myself. Sometimes you go to hair stylists and you don't like the finished product, either because its not how you wanted it or how you expected it to turn out... and your stuck with it and most likely wasted money paying for it. #justsaying

p.s. IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE AND WOULD LIKE YOUR OWN..JUST HOLLA!!
