Quick Weave Pictorial with Boh Braz! [Very Pic Heavy]

[PPGbubbles]

I have been using this method for about a month and a half and I am in love!
I have the convenience of a wig, in that, I can take it off and moisturize
my hair or simply switch up my style at will. I also still have the
blending benefits of a weave, which I personally prefer.

I recently discovered that the youtube information for the quickweave
has been removed so that the original poster could persue a business venture.
Kudos to her I benefited from the videos while they were posted and I
wanted to share with the ladies of LHCF!

I created a little pictorial to show how the quickweave is contructed and
how I apply it.

First a brief description of how I made the quickweave:

-1st I Sealed the hair using dritz fray check
-I sewed my hair into beehive and left out my normal U-shaped part.
-I placed the cap over my head and began to sew in the same manner
I would my usual install.
-With each row I used single stitches to get the placement of the track just right
then I would remove the cap place on my foam head and sew the track down securely.

-I sewed the the hair around on the mesh cap to align with
the part I created.
-I made sure to really reinforce the stitches around the U.
and I then cut out the remaining mesh.
-I sealed the mesh and stitches around the part with dritz fray check


-In the opening of the U-part I used the clear fishing line to bridge
the gap created by cutting the part out.
-The fishing line lies flush with your
scalp and make for easy application and removal. and is pretty much undetectable


Enjoy the pitchas/Pictorial! This is my first one so if I am unclear let me know I hope I dont confuse anyone

I also have a LHCF abulm dedicated to the quickweave system:

the fishing line falls

I've been wanting to make some wigs out of wefts I have left and am very interested in how this comes out. Good luck!

 

[PPGbubbles]

Bump! I finally got all the attachments added ....sheesh! this new system takes a little getting used too

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Good Job!!! I love the picturesque details. It looks really nice.

 

[MadisonK]

Wow! It looks nice. And even with all your details, I still don't think i could do it myself. Sigh.

 

[Duchesse]

Yes! This is exactly what I want to do, make my own halfwig with some Bobraz. Looks great!

 

[Distorted Barbie]

awww hun its not that hard! but I at least want to get the info out there so some1 can try....The info helped me and it sucks that it was pulled. Cuz im a diva on a budget so I love to capitalize on free info and I will start a DIY project in a hearbeat if I know I can save a buck or two.


Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll
Thanks... I hope I did was just hoping I this right lol and that it was clear to other ppl besides me

 

[PPGbubbles]

Yes! This is exactly what I want to do, make my own halfwig with some Bobraz. Looks great!

Try it! I am sure you will love it! the hair is great and lasted a long time... with this method I put less wear and tear on the weave and on my hair and my scalp, its the best of both worlds

 

[DiamondDivyne]

Great job girlie! I wanna try this eventually.

I posted this just for ppl like you I was sad to see the video go too...

 

[***BlessedMom***]

excellent!!

 

[SelfStyled]

What a great pictorial ppg! Thanks so much for showing how you did it. It looks great on you. You get the look of a sew in, but you get to care for your own hair- very cool.

I am thinking about doing something similar with a half wig, and clip ins around the leave out. I will post pict if I do.

 

[mEmYSELFaNDj]

I love it!! I cant wait til I get some extra money so I can buy some new hair and make one. Thanks for posting

 

[kandiekj100]

I love it! It looks really natural. Question, though...the fishing line won't ruin your hair? Does it rub against your scalp or cause any other discomfort or problems?

 

[SimplyLeesh]

how much hair did you use for this wig? Looks very nice!

I havent noticed any breakage as a result of having the line... it is not tight.

I did have to redo my original attachment after the first day. I had sewn the line in where the knots were pointing down on my scalp. I just re-did that and I found no issue after that.

Now I plan to make another with out the line in a month. My theory is to reinforce the U with a wire to see if that will hold.

how much hair did you use for this wig? Looks very nice!

I used 1 pack of hair.... but keep in mind that I have a tiny "child like" head lol

ppg0069 u da best girl! so appreciated!

 

[blackbarbie986]

when you make yours again do you think you could do a vid plz?

 

[PPGbubbles]

I do not have a webcam. I will either borrow a friends or I could possibly do some short video clips w/pics and edit them together. I just made one with "His and Hers" cuticle kinky straight and finished it without the fishing line. and it came out better than the first IMO

I plan to make another with some sensationnell goddess Remy I have lying around. I never kept the hair in longer than a week because it is too straight but it would be nice to through in rotation when I want to go out with the girls...I digress... lol

But I have no problem creating a visual. I will try to arrange this in the coming week or so for you.

 

[blackbarbie986]
