How to Make Short Bob Wigs from Human Hair

Have you ever bought a wig, then almost immediately you see another wig that you love? If you haven't had this experience, maybe you're not a fan of wearing short bob wigs. Short wigs are identical wigs, but they have slight differences. These differences within the bob wigs are what give each short wig its uniqueness and advantages. So after making the hard choice of choosing one or two wigs out of many, you may soon admire one more wig.

Short bob wigs especially have this character of being too attractive. If you walk into a store to buy a short bob wig, you may end up buying close to five wigs. However, there are times when you don't get exactly what you want. For instance, let's assume that you prefer buying your wigs from an offline store. If you see a wig style online, you may want to get that exact type. Now, there is a good chance they may not have, and you have to look elsewhere.

The process of looking for a particular style of wig can be a tedious and frustrating one. If the wig is a short bob wig, then maybe all you need to do is to make the wig yourself! Yes, as long as you have the suitable materials, wig making isn't such a challenging task. With the steps below, you should be able to make a good wig easily;

Get all materials

The fact that you want to make a wig doesn't mean it's a tea party. Wig making is a tedious process that requires some materials. Without these materials, it can't be a successful process. Some of the materials necessary include;

  • Scissors
  • Tape for measuring
  • Needle and thread
  • Lace frontal or closure
  • A mannequin
  • A stand
  • Human hair

Step 2: Measure the size of your head

If you're making the wigs for yourself, you need to know your head size. All you need to do is take your measuring tape around your head from the starting point to an endpoint.

Step 3: Set the Mannequin on the stand

The majority of the wig-making process will happen on the head of the mannequin. Therefore, you have to set the mannequin on its head correctly and conveniently, so you can work efficiently.

Step 4: Place the wig cap on the head

With your measurements of your head and an adjustable wig cap, put the wig cap on the head of the mannequin. Ensure that the straps of the wig cap are the exact size of the head.

Step 5: Mark Hair Sewing Point and sew the wig.

On the cap on the mannequin, mark the different points you want to sew the wig on. After that, based on the human hair choice you made initially, you can start the sewing process. Ensure that everything you sew is tight and firm. Don't forget the lace frontal or closure.

Step 6: Style your wig

Once you're done sewing the wig, you can choose whatever style you want for your short bob wigs.
