I watch Youtube videos daily and after seeing a number of videos on 3/4 wigs, i decided to make a 3one for myself. I was looking for an alternative to regular sew-in weaves since sew-in weaves are too damn itchy. After a week I already want to take my weave out.
Making a 3/4 wig is time consuming and I have to give myself kudos for my 1st attempt. It did not turn out perfect but i was satisfied with the results. I messed up a little in the front but I found a way to patch it up and it still turned out pretty. My friends raved when they saw my hair, they thought I got the extensions sewn in and were surprised when i told them it was a 3/4 wig. I actually think I'll stick to 3/4 wigs from now on.
I installed the Virgin Brazilian Hair from my previous post on a spandex cap.This hair is the bomb!! This is my 3rd install and I have never had better hair. Everyone thought I installed brand new extensions. It has minimal shedding and does not tangle at all. This is the best hair I have tried hands down!!!! If you want to try Virgin Brazilian Hair i would recommend you try this hair. I usually hate re-using extensions but i just realized it was because I'd never purchased extensions that were good enough to be used over and over until now.
Drumroll please .... Here are pictures of my 1st ever 3/4 wig P.S: I love it!!!!

If I end up dying the hair, I will put up pictures so you can see my results.
I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should try the "Ombre Look". This is what Ombre Hair looks like:
I prefer dark hair for the cold months so the ombre look will have to wait until the weather gets warmer.
My first install of this hair was a sew in with an invisible part (none of my hair was left out), second install was a regular sew in weave and third install is this 3/4 wig. The 3/4 wig is my favorite. It is versatile and I can take it off as often as I want to take care of my real hair.

This has given me the bravery to do my own. So scared! How long did urs take?
ReplyDeleteMy first one took 4-5 hours but I took breaks in between. Now when I make them it takes about 2 hours. You should make your own & let me know how it goes :)
ReplyDeleteHow many extensions did you need to use to create your look and what length were they? Did you have to cut the extensions into layers or is that all one length and layered just by how they are layered by the install. One more question.... What kind of tips were on them and how do you sew them in? It looks amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI used 3 bundles (300g) grams of hair. 16, 18 and 20 inches. I did not have to cut them into layers because since I got them in different lengths it gave me a layered look. I put the longest bundle on the bottom and the shortest bundle on top. The tips were in good condition..no split ends.
DeleteI put a spandex cap on a foam head (refer to pictures above) and sewed the hair on the spandex cap.Then I cut out my u-part and sewed the cap onto my braids. Lastly I covered the tracks with my leave out.
nice!! plz share where did you purchase your hair?
ReplyDeleteThank you:) I got my hair from baduhair.com. It is the Brazilian Wavy Hair.
