Hey 💕 I have been making wigs on the sewing machine a little less than a year. The issue that I run into is my wigs being slightly small and only fitting with a fresh flat braid down. How can I properly adjust my sizing?

I normally put in the cap maybe two rows down from the closure, i’m going to try putting it how you said today! Yes ma’am that makes sense

No problem! I will make a video on this, for now, do you place your band on the cap? or on the lace? I find that putting it directly adjacent to the lace but on the cap is most beneficial when doing that “frontal effect” with the deep side part. ALso placement comes to mind for the closure, I normally leave a little more of the closure off the cap on the side closest to the ear, then align the other side closer to the cap! Let me know if this makes sense but I hope to have a unit come up that requires this kind of placement so i can record it! Lmk if you need something in the meantime

I feel like a side part glueless wig video would be helpful. especially where to place the band. sometimes the end of the closure doesn't lay as flat and lifts up on my side part units.

yes ma’am
