I made an afro wig

[dyh080]

This is me in my home made afro wig. Had to order the hair since no store carried it. It is synthetic but looks and feels like type 4 hair.

thanks everyone
I made it with Beverly Johnson synthetic kinky afro hair bought online from Hairsisters.
I got a weave cap,fit it to my head, placed it on a styrofoam head bought from Sallys. Then I cut pieces off the weft and used a latch hook to attach to the cap and knotted or braided slightly at the base to hold. It is very time consuming but I tried sewing it on but it didn't look as natural.
When I wear it people who know me think it's my hair.
I'm sorry you really can't see close up...I tried forever to post a big photo but somehow couldn't get it posted.( if you can, let me know how you do it).
Up close it looks like a chunky afro because I was afraid if I picked it out too much it would lose its kinkyness.
Thanks all!
