I have made wigs and I recommend you do the scalp differently. What you should do is put the weft facing the opposite direction of how the hair is going to lay. Glue the weft and wait for it to dry, then flip the hair over and brush down. I personally would dip the hair in water to weigh it down. For the other side, do the same thing. This time, push the other side against the side that you had already placed. Hold in place until dry. Flip the hair, dip it water and you're done! This way you won't have to paint the hair :) Hope this helped :) -A Universal Hixel
Your first wig looks good, there are few few mistakes that you made but you managed to make the wig look nice. When it comes to weft making I usually use the glue method with yarn or alpaca, for the type of hair you used making the weft by sewing makes the weft a lot neater but if you really have to use glue, taping the hair first will help you to have some neater and even looking wefts (That's what I used to do it really helps a lot) .
thank you for the tips! I would use alpaca but it doesnt match the look i was going for. alpaca looks bery soft and layered. I wish I knew how to sew but the glue method wasnt too bad hehe
For a first try it's a really good wig. :) I had (and still have) the same problems with miscalculation of the wefts. It helps to paint the wigcap in a similar color to the hair, so you can leave a little space between the wefts. If you have access to natural fibers, you should use them instead. They blend in way better and the wefts look fuller without layering them as thick.
You did so well for your first wig! Amazing! A tip for the future though, making the top of the weft thin and even will help you so much with the weight issue. Also, at the top to cover your wig cap you can take thin sections and make the part more natural by taking small groups of hair and flipping them over (thatching) to criss-cross the part. It helps if you take the top two wefts near the part and glue them facing the opposite direction before doing this and will give a more professional finish.
I think for your first wig you did an awesome job. Don't give yourself such a hard time. It really is brilliant truly you did a wicked job. well done big thumbs up HeXtian 🖒
Love how had them mix the blue and black. What a great idea. I want to try to make wigs and I really appreciate your video. Your first wig and this is the first wig video I am officially learning wigs from. :-)
I appreciate you showing your good and bad, taking us through your journey, it’s definitely less intimidating knowing that you amazing artist had to learn at one point too, I’ve been procrastinating doing my first faceup cause I want so badly for it to be good and not too amateur and cartoony, but if I don’t at least start, I’ll never get great like you!
I'm so glad I found your video! My first wig was a disaster but after hearing your critique I think my next one will be better. I didn't even cut the messy glue off my wefts!
Your first wig is amazing! You shouldn't criticize yourself to much. I'm watching this late, Bc again I found your Chanel a few weeks ago. Love all your work and you are amazing and talented. Literally the best I have seen that does these doll videos on RUclips.
It's not even look like it's your first time you are doing this. It's awesome and pretty. I love it. You can be so proud of yourself, cuz it's very good job. You are absolutley doll-pro-maker :)
Thank you for posting this!!! I had been trying to reroot a doll when a long chunk of the reroot holes cracked down her head; I can now salvage her by using your easy to follow tutorial :D
I absolutely love your videos!! You have inspired me to try this as a hobby. I have been a stay at home mom since I was 18 years old so that's all I have ever done but my kids are at that age where they've got their own things going on so I'm ready to get myself a hobby, so thank you so much for your informative videos! I think your an awesome person and you have a great personality 🖤🖤🖤
it looks good. You did a great job for it being your first time doing it. Well I guess this counts as your second time in this video. I love the color.
I found your channel with a collaboration with other doll makers. You've come so far in just a year! I'm starting soon and I can't wait to get to your level!!!
He really dislikes sewing tho 😂 tbh I think both methods work well - dollightful just takes a more sewing heavy approach which is what I've always used for wefts.
HeXtian that looks really fun i think i might try to do it, but i bet that i will have a lot of mistakes if I do it, I will probably make a big mess to, but that's okay i'll just clean it up any way i hope it's fun for me, and that's what I think
So helpful. The videos you make always are, I love the job you do at making them, your work, and your narrative. Thank you for putting your work out there and for helping us all learn. I
cut a slit down the pattern and glue 2 wefts inside each side of the cap and pull out and over the glue ontop, it hides the glue ontop and gives it a natural look. if it isn't sitting right, do a boil hair wash to keep it in place :) I think you did a really good job! the colours are lovely
I hate glue on my hands too...it drives me crazy! I am glad to see I wasn't the only one to start at the back and end up with too much hair. I have come a long way since then, as you have too and I like elastic and stocking net wig caps with the hair sewn in. I trashed far too many bags of hair with the glue technique and I still use glue for yarn braids but for hair, I am definitely more in favour of the sewn in wig.
Planning to fix/customize an old porcelain doll and this is so helpful! Her hair is destroyed sand this is absolutely easy to follow- all I need is to buy materials
Hi hextian, I think this came out quite decent for your first wig! You really have to just bite the bullet and dive right in and do it first hand, like you did, to learn what to avoid next time. It's really hard to explain- you gained invaluable experience and it looks cute too. I remember my first re-root, I focused SO MUCH on the back and creating new holes for hair plugs, so worried scalp would show through- and towards the end, I had to buy MORE hair cuz I used so much. It turned out to be very unnecessary, and although the doll looks cute, she has SO MUCH HAIR!!! It's seriously soooo thick! Lol seems like we made similar mistakes, but we learned next time will be even better! :)
For a first wig you did amazing! My first was so bad that it never was finished, I used waaaaaaay too much hair for the first and ran out and if I got more to finish it the hair would be so thick that there is now way it would lay down. :P The only suggestions I would have is to try and go around in a circle so that the front can get coverage more even with the back and to get some tacky glue or fabric glue rather than mod podge so that if the wig gets wet or you need to wet it for styling you won't end up with a sticky mess. Looking forward to seeing your next try! :D
thank you so much! I think i learned so much just from the first wig. i know what not to do. i bought new glue for the wefts so hopefully thats gonna be better
That's a pretty great first wig! There are lots of tutorials out there. Nicolle's Dreams has some on her RUclips and Patreon pages, Xanthi (Jointed Love) has a pretty good picture tutorial. Lomi's Playground, Will Store, and UNNiEDOLLS here on RUclips also have tutorials. Everyone does it just a little bit different. The trickiest part is the parting! I still haven't mastered that, but practice is helping! I can't wait to see more of your wigs!
I have a suggestion, before you cut or do anything with the hair I would suggest letting it sit in fabric softener for about a week so you don't have the shine of the plastic, unlesss that's what you are looking for
This is really helpful! I'm making a custom Urahara (from Bleach) doll for my boyfriend (I asked for his favorite anime character, that's who he said) for christmas and didn't want to actually reroot the doll. (I'll be using Dexter Charming)
Thank you, very helpful! I bought a white doll wig to make a Shiro(from Deadman in Wonderland) doll, but it's bigger than the doll's head. Now I know what to do, thanks ^^
Thank you for the film. Now I know that I used too much hair in one weft and my wigs are fluffy and messy. Cap I prefer do with tights / stockings, the material is very thin. I have one question. Mod Podge is waterproof, so it is written. Did you tried to stylize hair dolls with water?
You should start sewing the wifts. It's a better technique than glue because the roots don't get hard and tacky. It also helps with how the hair lays on the head. Ily
Thank you for posting this! I'm glad you decided to share this as I'm hoping to make a wig with a front fringe for my doll too one day. Are there any other youtubers/tutorials you recommend watching to get more of an idea of how to tackle it? :)
I adore how you talk about your mistakes so we can learn too. Plase don't stop making these videos, you're great :)
awee thank you so much ! :D i try to share my trial and errors :D
Lynz C I like your profile pic

Legendry wig! This is actually a really clever way of making wigs and giving dolls hair.
For a first try it's a really good wig. :)

You did so well for your first wig! Amazing!

Jabi X I agree do one of the crystal gems!!
I think for your first wig you did an awesome job. Don't give yourself such a hard time. It really is brilliant truly you did a wicked job. well done big thumbs up HeXtian 🖒
awee thank you so much! :D i hope i get better at it :D
It looks good, the only problem with glued not sewn wigs is tht you cant't style It in hot water because glue will melt (learnt It hard way) :(
+Anni Mani i can see that. There are waterproof glue though that can be used. So i know some will curl or style the hair first before glueing
HeXtian but finding waterproof, fast drying nad drying transparent glue is basicly imposible :P
At least in my country
Try looking for fabric glues specifically? You might have more luck with those, as they're meant to be washable to be used on fabrics. ^_^
Love how had them mix the blue and black. What a great idea. I want to try to make wigs and I really appreciate your video. Your first wig and this is the first wig video I am officially learning wigs from. :-)
Awee thank you so much :)
Did I just watch a doll get a quick weave....
hahah pretty much! :D

Thank you, very helpful! I bought a white doll wig to make a Shiro(from Deadman in Wonderland) doll, but it's bigger than the doll's head. Now I know what to do, thanks ^^
Thank you for the film. Now I know that I used too much hair in one weft and my wigs are fluffy and messy.
Cap I prefer do with tights / stockings, the material is very thin.
I have one question.
Mod Podge is waterproof, so it is written. Did you tried to stylize hair dolls with water?
omg you are amazing I tried to do that and failed where did you get your creativity
You should start sewing the wifts. It's a better technique than glue because the roots don't get hard and tacky. It also helps with how the hair lays on the head. Ily
i would, but idk how to sew >
Now I know what I'm doing asap
I love how you make the wig 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌💗💖💗💖💗💖💗💖💗💗💖💗💖💗
awe thank you so much! :D
Awesome! I love that creative idea

Thank you for posting this! I'm glad you decided to share this as I'm hoping to make a wig with a front fringe for my doll too one day. Are there any other youtubers/tutorials you recommend watching to get more of an idea of how to tackle it? :)
