How to Make a Wig with Bundles & Lace Closure: Step-by-Step Guide

Wigs offer instant style transformations, and making your own ensures a perfect fit. Follow this professional tutorial to create a flawless custom wig using hair bundles and a lace closure.

Materials Needed:

• 2-3 human hair bundles (100% raw virgin hair recommended)
• Lace closure (4×4 or 5×5)
• Wig cap (stretchable)
• Wig head & stand
• Needle & thread (color-matched)
• T-pins, scissors, tweezers
• Wig elastic band & combs

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Workspace

• Secure a wig head to a stable surface or stand
• Stretch the wig cap over the head, aligning with the natural hairline

2. Install the Lace Closure or Lace Frontal

• Position the closure 4-5 fingers back (according to the size of the lace frontal or closure) from the wig cap edge
• Pin in place with T-pins
• Hand-sew along the perimeter using a whip stitch
• Pro Tip: Double-stitch the corners for extra security

3. Sew the Hair Bundles

a. First Layer (Nape Area):

• Start sewing the first weft along the bottom edge
• Use a crisscross stitch pattern for durability

b. Subsequent Layers:

• Work upwards in concentric circles
• Space wefts ½” apart for natural density
• Fold excess weft material instead of cutting to prevent shedding

4. Customize Your Wig

• Plucking: Use tweezers to thin the closure hairline
• Bleaching (Optional): Lighten the lace for invisible blending
• Styling: Cut/taper the lace edges (leave ¼” margin)

5. Add Security Features

• Sew elastic band around the perimeter
• Attach combs at temples and crown
• Bonus: Add adjustable straps for sizing flexibility

6. Final Touches

• Wash with sulfate-free shampoo
• Air dry on a wig stand
• Style with heat tools (max 350°F)
