Pics**So I have reached the ultimate level of Bootleg..Made a wig!

It looks great. I've been wanting to make one w/ straight hair but I've been too lazy. I'm going to do it clips on the edges to hold it down (at BSS or Sally's) and make it where I can where a part w/ my hair. I saw them on sale on-line an the start are from $60-130. And I'm on a budget, I can do one myself. Thanks for the inspiration to finally get started.
 
Thanks for all the replies ya'll!!! Lol at the youTube Video:look::look: hmmm maybe I will do that next time! This time I didn't know how it would come out

PM me if you have any questions:grin:
 
There's nothing bootleg about that wig.:look: I know a lot of people that make their own. It looks great on you!

So I didn't want a sew in b/c I'm wishy washy, but they didn't have any half wigs I liked. Then I saw what looked like a wig on display with the hair I wanted on a head, but she told me it wasn't a wig, it was sent by the company to show what it looks like once it is sewn in. So I thought, if they can do it,so can I!! Haha so I bought a netted wig cap, the hair I wanted and went to work sewing the tracks on to the cap...Here are the results(I made a half wig)...lol:lachen:

ETA: oh she didnt just do this , this is an older thread, I was like 'how did i miss this' :lol:

Dang it, you beat me to it! I was thinking about this a couple of weeks ago...I bought a wig a year ago, I wear it every now and then but a couple of weeks ago I said I was going to sew some tracks on my wig cuz it's so dogg on thin, not to mention it's black and blk is not my color, I want to go ahead and color it bwn-dk. bwn w/ the added bwn tracks...
but ur half wig looks really nice and natural, good job!:grin:
