How to Make Wefts | No Sewing! | Cosplay Wig Weft Tutorial

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

**This cannot be used on human hair. Synthetic fibers are plastic, and plastic can melt together. Human hair will just burn!**
Are there any tutorials you'd like to see? Let me know in the comments!
I was thinking about making a series on how to basics cosplay tutorials, and if there's enough demand, I'll work on those. I can make a follow up to this tutorial on how to apply wefts if you guys want.
After a friend showed me how to make wefts with a bag sealer, I haven't bought wefts since. I've been using with wefting method for years now, and I thought I'd share this cosplay wig tutorial with you! This is the perfect method to use for cosplay wigs and drag wigs--pretty much any wig with synthetic fibers!
I used a medium heat setting for the wig fibers I used, which had a heat resistance of up to 410F. You will need to adjust the heat depending on your fiber type.
These wefts are strong enough to be used as hair extensions if you use enough heat and the proper hair extension glue, but they are best used for cosplay wigs and drag wigs. This method will not work on human hair, only synthetic fibers.

    I have made a discovery! If you do not have a bag sealer use a hair straightener on the highest setting and baking paper! (You can find baking paper at the dollar store) Fold the baking paper in half. Insert the weft between the papers and clamp the edges in the straightener and you will get a lovely weft. I practically stole my mom's straightener for this😅 I have been making wefts for hours now!😳👌 it is so fast and great!

    OMG YOU ARE AN ANGEL!!!!!!!!! I come from the days long ago where Katie Bair was the only person doing any sort of cosplay wig tutorials, and I never was able to follow her no-sew wefts by using silicone caulk. Like, luckily silicone caulk has a ton of uses so it wasn't a waste, but using an impulse sealer is going to save such a ridiculous amount of time that I could cry. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

    Yes it does! I just did it! Just be sure to have baking paper or waxed paper from the dollar store to put between the wefts and the iron so that the hair doesn't stick to the iron. So it should look like a sandwich of a paper for bread and hair for filling. If that makes sense

    So smart! Will this work with a hand sealer? Or do you prefer the sealer you have because it has settings? Do you have any issues with the hair getting stuck from melting on the sealing ?

  • @LissyFishy

    @LissyFishy

    3 жыл бұрын

    Yes, a hand sealer will work! But you can't use as much fiber and will have to make smaller wefts. I've never had an issue with the fibers melting onto the fabric strip, though the strip will discolor over time.

    This method looks so great!! Are the wefts flexible or do they feel stiff? I would like to use this method for parting, but I'm not sure if it's easily possible to blow-dry the fibres over the heat fixed edge...

  • @LissyFishy

    3 жыл бұрын

    If you heat the end enough, it will be flexible enough! You just need to use a hot enough setting, while also not melting the fibers off. If you don't use enough heat, the end will be brittle and break easily. Too much heat, and the end fibers will melt off.

    The wig fibers are made of plastic, as all synthetic fibers are. The heat from the bag press melts the fibers. Think of it like being soldered together. Hope that explains it!
