    1. Since I got my massive bag of fibers I’ve been experimenting with hardcap wigs, I’ve found they’re super easy to make! Here’s my first two, made out of tencel and silk

      The part is much nicer on the silk wig (the white one) but I think I actually made the thing too dense somehow :sweat getting the fibers to lay flat is a challenge on that one!

    3. Those wigs look awsome!! Wig making is a lot of fun.
      The way I do the part (which makes it lay down naturally and isnt thick or bulky at all) is i glue two wefts facing each other and then seperate them into small strands let them cross/intersect each other. Its a bit flimsy but not too hard to do

    5. Those are fun! Really like the contrast the white one has with the faceup and the dark one matches her eyebrows really well : )

    12. These look really good!! I recently got some tencel from the same shop - the quality of the fiber is so nice! I'm definitely going to be ordering more.
