It looks great. I've been wanting to make one w/ straight hair but I've been too lazy. I'm going to do it clips on the edges to hold it down (at BSS or Sally's) and make it where I can where a part w/ my hair. I saw them on sale on-line an the start are from $60-130. And I'm on a budget, I can do one myself. Thanks for the inspiration to finally get started.

So I didn't want a sew in b/c I'm wishy washy, but they didn't have any half wigs I liked. Then I saw what looked like a wig on display with the hair I wanted on a head, but she told me it wasn't a wig, it was sent by the company to show what it looks like once it is sewn in. So I thought, if they can do it,so can I!! Haha so I bought a netted wig cap, the hair I wanted and went to work sewing the tracks on to the cap...Here are the results(I made a half wig)...lol:lachen:




ETA: I see the little piece that's out so I'm gonna hide it under the headband..lol...or get the 2 color and sew that one...The lady SWORE up and dowwwwwn I was a 1B...I told her I was a 2!!
Well, just look at you with your cute self. I think you did a very, VERY good job. I'm impressed. :yep: It looks very nice on you.

Girl, your wig is not bootleg at all!! It's beautiful!

So, anyone else do this lately? I'm challenged when it comes to doing hair so I'm wondering if this is going to be too difficult for me.

Dang it, you beat me to it! I was thinking about this a couple of weeks ago...I bought a wig a year ago, I wear it every now and then but a couple of weeks ago I said I was going to sew some tracks on my wig cuz it's so dogg on thin, not to mention it's black and blk is not my color, I want to go ahead and color it bwn-dk. bwn w/ the added bwn tracks...
but ur half wig looks really nice and natural, good job!:grin:

Looks like the same curl pattern as your own hair - very pretty and creative.:yep:
