the part where you talk about getting your shit together and not freak out is the most important part :D
Yukari I believe this too lmao
This was actually way easier than I thought it would be! I’m doing a Madara Uchiha cosplay, and he has very thick hair, so I decided to sew two base wigs together. Takes a while, but definitely worth it!
100% agree with you.
Yesssss!!!! You don’t know how bad I’ve needed this in all my previous wigs
Apple Pie better late than never! ^_^
I used this tutorial back in 2019 to thicken up a wig with two wigs worth of wefts. It was stunningly thick and gorgeous and lush just like real hair, except it's white.
I plan on using this tutorial again for Christine Daae's hair from the movie version of Phantom of the Opera since I will not only be adding volume to the base wig but I will also be doing a thing Drag Queens use to achieve volume is to stack on another wig on top of the base wig for a bit of height since the style I will be referencing is Empress Elisabeth of Austria meets Christine Daae with a slight modern twist and additional hair pieces like clip on ponytails serving as large braids decorated by a bunch of star brooches.
It's the biggest style challenge I will put on myself for one wig but I am willing to make something that isn't a Shake and Go style.
Good luck! I am sure it is going to look stunning!

This is accurate just to trying to repair a wig where a weft came undone from the cap. It sucks because it is a really long wig too. Oh well, I'll keep working on my repairs when I get home from uni.
Poke-talia good luck!
Helpful and funny. Thank you 😂

Welcome to the channel

Awesome! Good luck!
oh MY... ive followed your videos for a while now, and know that i skipped the wig videos because they didnt appeal to me at the time.. but NOW i need to combine 2 wigs so who videos does YT recommend?? straight forward and well explained
Thanks!
this is an awesome tutorial!!!!! just wonder where do you get your wigs from??
These ones were cheapies ones from aliexpress :)
So glad I found this!!!
Though, I wonder, does it work with wigs of different lengths? Because my base wig is a tad bit shorter than the wig Im adding.
It will still work but remember that the wefts you will be adding will be longer so you may need to cut them to the same length after you add them to the base wig
(Becus I was walking.while Watching this..) hahaha
Hahaha
Should I add less to shorter wigs?If I have a long wig and a short one do I just cut one?
It will be easier for you to use two short wigs as with a long wig, if you cut it you will need to make your own wefts and that can be messy and a little difficult
I'm dreading a open weft wig and noticed there's spaces between the wefts .What can I do to cover it? Can I see the wefts together or add in more dreads ?
Maybe add more dreads!
Quick question how do you secure your wig head so it doesn't fall over??
There are a few ways you can do this- there are toupe clips or combs you can see in, you can adjust the elastic at the back, you can use hair pins or even a wig grip.
I tried this but got so frustrated from the ridiculous length and repetitiveness and gave up
Unfortunately there are some things that are build upon doing something repetitive. I found putting on a good movie or two to help
