Wearables First dreadlock wig

The past few days I've been working on a dreadlock wig for the latest doll I got. It's the first time I try something like that. Eventhough it's not perfect I still learned a bunch of things while making it. I'm probably gonna make a new one anyway. So here are some pictures of the result.

 

@KuroIbara Thanks!! yeeeah it wasn't really easy xD sometimes I was close to giving up. But I'm happy I finished it, even though it's not perfect.
Sounds interesting! My doll is going to be themed tribal like. But I still got to sew clothes.
btw thanks for the follow >///w///<

Thanks for asking @Maritime I should have thought of including the materials I used in this thread.
I made this wig from scratch. I had to make a wig cap which was a bit of an improvisation, since at first I had wanted to glue the dreads on a hard wig cap (those you can make out of glue) but I decided otherwise. I basically just took the tip of an old sock folded the border up a bit and sewed it up with an elastic in it.
The dreadlocks were made also by myself. I used Kanekalon hair (synthetic, heat-resistant fiber). I used this videos help to make them. Though, it might be a bit dangerous so be careful whenever you try that out.
Then I sewed the dreadlocks onto the wig cap, which was quite randomly done to be honest. Whatever made the dreads hold onto the wig cap XD I still need to figure out a proper way how to do that, but for now it worked.
When I figured out a more "professional" way how to do this wig, I might make a tutorial ^^

@Zenna Thank you!

 

@Dayme Thanks alot!!

 

@Maritime You're welcome and Thanks again

@mirrorcle_world Thanks~!! I saw a few people who made custom dreadlock wigs but I'm not even sure if they still make them. As for bjd companies, I believe I've never seen dreadlock wigs being sold. It's kind of a pity

@CollectiveEntity Thank you!! Actually the dreads were sewn onto the wig cap to stay styled like this, so I'm not able to style this wig differently, like for example a ponytail. Though it could be interesting to work on a dreadlock wig that has a ponytail.

 

@fourmist Thanks!!
Yeah, I know it's a bit distracting. I can't really add any more dreads to it since the wig cap is already densely packed with them ^^' but I'll try to make a new wig with dreads that are less thick.
