I can't help it y'all! I'm a virgo and I like things to be neat and organized if I can help it. My crochet wig is no exception. Most crochet wig makers don't take the time to structure their units with a grid and with evenly parted sections (and I don't blame them) its a bit of a pain... but part of the curse of being a virgo is that you don't possess the luxury of letting disorganization slide by you unaddressed. So here we are. If you're like me and would prefer a more structured crochet wig, I promise your preference comes with perks. In is video I will share with you how putting in a little more effort in making your crochet wig more structured will lead to longer lasting and better looking results!

HOW I WEAR MY WIGS
PRE CARE
The health of your natural hair is priority number one. Pre-wash and condition your own hair first. Be sure to oil your scalp and moisturize your hair, especially if you intend to install the wig unit by sewing it in or if you plan to wear the wig unit for an extended amount of time.
BRAID ME
One of the benefits of our crochet wigs is our one size mesh cap. It stretches to your head size, allows quite a bit of hair to sit underneath comfortably. For best wear, we suggest tying your hair back in a low ponytail or braiding it down in 2 to 8 cornrows.
With either option, be sure to leave a part wherever you intend to part your wig.
UNTWIST ME
A tag identifies the back of each of our wig units. Place the unit on a mannequin head with the tag at the nape of the head. Untwist the entire wig, starting at the ends of the hair and working your way to the unit's scalp. (If you come across any snags, gently lift the loose strand of hair up and out of the twist with your finger and continue to untwist as you move up.)
CURL ME
Wrap the ends of your twist around a curling wand. Place the wand between a flat iron and pressed together gently for two seconds. (Be sure the heat does not exceed 300°F.) Continue this wrap and press method throughout the entire wig unit.
LAY ME
To create a more natural and complete look with little to no leave out, each unit comes with baby hair, that can be manipulated to look like or blend into your natural hairline. Once the unit is on your head, fluff the baby hair of the wig unit out, so that you are able to separate small pieces of those hairs and with a hairpin pin them down. This technique helps secure the wig unit as well as prevent lifting from wind or natural wear.
**optional
Hair glue or hair gel can complete the look even more especially if you have a unit that is not your natural hair color. Lay down your own baby hair first and than lay the baby hair of the wig unit over it while still wet. Wrap your hairline and allow a few minutes for the glue/gel to dry. Fluff the baby hair a bit once you remove the wrapping.
SECURE ME
Our wig units come with an elastic band around the entire perimeter, that hold the unit to your head. For a little more security, with hair pins, grab the net around the unit's perimeter over the elastic band and tuck under the unit. Do this around the edge of the wig unit where it is needed. (If done in the back, it allows you to style your wig unit in a
high ponytail.)
INSTALL ME
(This part is best done with a partner, so grab a helping hand.) Place your wig unit on your head fully twisted and leave the hair twisted until after the wig unit is installed. This allows for a more efficient sew-in process. Adjust the wig unit where you'd like it to sit on your head. Follow along the grid of the cap as you sew, attaching the cap to the braid of your natural hair. This process allows you to wear your unit for 2 to 3 weeks at a time
depending on care.

You can’t beat a Virgo teacher! Detailed, precise and thorough!
Sis! Please tell me you have a patent pending on your method. You know you are already rich with this genius technique. Thank you so much for teaching this Pisces sister! Love you. Bless up!
lol, the first time I ever watched one of your vids I was like she gotta be a Virgo…to be that precise and organized in your wig making. From one virgin to another, thanks for sharing your expertise 🕉️💞♍️
I was extremely drawn to you and your videos and this explains at least part of it! Your work is amazing Virgo sis!
thank you love 😋
In some ways I wonder how this is free and then I remember TH-cam. This place is golden. Ma’am, you are a genuis.
And prayer works sis bc I found your channel… I love your attention to detail and your explanations. Thank you for sharing this
You need to sell some zoom classes! lol This is so good.
I just watched a couple of your videos and I fell in LOVE with your personality and your style! Omg! And NOW THAT I SEE THAT YOU ARE A VIRGO!?! Sis! Im a subbie fuh sure!
I'm going to start the beach wave wig on Thursday. I can't thank you enough for sharing your method.
omg woman! you are a superstar, I have watched all your videos, I have been making and selling crochet wigs for a long time in my shop, and I tell you, I had NO organization, I just put the hair anywhere, but you are so organized, and talented. Because of you I have taken my crochet game to a new level with adding the baby hairs, I can't do the diamond thing it's just too much, but I want to thank you for all that your share with us.
That awesome!!!! May you have continued success with making wigs and perfecting your craft this channel will definitely help you stay up in your game.
I just started binge watching her channel because I have yet to see any other TH-camr match her precision and expertise. As confused as I am about the grid I am going to hang in there and watch this video as many times as I have to in order to better understand what I need to be doing. She makes it look so easy but knowing me, things can go left real quick so I may have to break out a few crayons😂 I don't want to learn from anyone else because from what I've seen their wig don't come close to Leon Blu's quality wise.
Take care and thanks for the therapy session!😂
VIRGOS ROCK.... I'M ONE TOO SO I FEEL YOU....ORGANIZATION IS KEY AND IT HELPS TREMENDOUSLY WITH ORDER!!!! YAAAAAAY FOR US VIRGOS!!💙💙💯💯

Wow thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

This is so helpful and amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Is it easier to make the diamond shaped grid on the mannequin’s head ? Then place the wig cap on ?
I’m not sure. You can try it and let me know please
Thank you!😍😍🤩
Thank you
Very helpful!
Such beautiful work. Do you know the hair?
its called Zury Marley Hair
Thank yoooou
How many packs of hair do you typically use ?
2.5
Very informative! Thank you!
I got you girl 😁
I'm a beginner and I just bought your kit. I haven't made the wig yet, but do you cut the net for a middle part? If not, does it show at all? Thanks!
no you don't cut the net at all. when you're creating the middle part put more hair in that area so that the net is hidden a bit. it doesn't hide it completely but it camouflages
@@ElonBlu Thank You very much!
You’re absolutely amazing
