Thanks so much Mells! It was my fourth attempt over the past 3 years at crochet braids, and I finally got it. Now if I could just figure out bantu knots lol!
girl u r so smart. let me tell u y lol.. u r the first person that i've seen that showed us how the net looks on your head up close and personal lol. omg so smart!!! so question ; how did u cover the band or does it automatically cover with the marley hair?
I try to push the two Marley pieces over the band to cover it, which pretty much automatically covers it. You could try concealer, or pull out some of your hair to blend over it. I found it very unnoticeable from a far, and just decided not to worry about it lol. Thanks for watching!
Your tutorial is really helpful.... I've bin looking for a way to make a part look natural and yours by far has me its my first time ever going to make one and yours gave me the inspiration I need lol thank you
Very nice Video...!I would like to know how you connect the wig to your head!!! And is it secure....Do you sleep with it? and how long does the curls last??
Love your tutorial!!! Please continue to do different styles and easy ones although again thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing you soon! Oh yeah thanks for making it easy!
Awesome video!!! Thanks for taking the time to show us in a detailed but short video! Quick question did you comb out your marley hair before twisting on rods or you left it in the tiny sections? That's the part that confuses me because everyone else combs the hair out but it seems so time consuming. :-)
I didn't comb the marley hair out curling it around the perm rod, but after I installed the curls, I pulled them apart a little bit, and fluffed them out, to make them look fuller.
This is really nice! It looks great on you :) I will definitely be trying this DIY! Thanks for sharing. Quick question did you rod the hair before you installed it--or did you install the hair then rod and dip it?
wow, this came out beautifully! i've ordered all my supplies after watching your tutorial. quick question though, how long did your hair hold the curl pattern?
Chanel B. Hi Chanel, the hair still has the pattern, but did get a little bit looser after about 3 weeks, but you can recur it, and it's back to being new!
Ok so just for clarification u Crochet'd the hair on top of the band to cover the band to create the visible part? Not sure quite how to get this look especially after looking at wig off ur head it looks like u have an open space where the part does. Please help lol It's very pretty on u but I want mine to look natural too
Easiest and simplest tutorial Ive seen on here so far. I'm definitely going to try this. Thank you soooo much. New subbie here lol P.S. You are soooo beautiful!!
I love how you only used 2 packs of hair. I've been wanting to do this but the volume of the crochet wigs I've seen was just too much, way too much hair. Do you start to crochet right at the bottom(nape) of your wig cap? Or do you start above the edge of the cap?
I start at the bottom, and work my way up to the top, to see the progress of the hair filling in, and covering up the next level. The key is to space out the back, don't worry about crocheting the hair right next to each other, because it's so big and fluffy, it's eventually fill out. I ended up cutting a lot of hair out because it was just so much, and I wanted it to be as natural as possible.
Do you always wear the wig with the part on the same side or do you move it to the other side? I'm trying to decide whether I should do side or middle parting. Thank you!
The longer the hair is, the more elongation your will get, due to it's weight. If you curl short hair, it's not going to have that weight stretch on it's on.
I'm looking for a. good video that shows a crochet wig with crochet braids in so I can better do mines when I want to or will just. Do Micronesia wigs again
No I did not cut the hair in half, the pack didn't state how long it was, it was your average length of any braiding hair you purchase. However, after installing, the hair was way to long/thick, so I did thin the hair out, and cut the hair till it was around shoulder length.
Try measuring your dome head,then yours, and thickening it up with either news paper or duck tape to make it your size. This happened to me once when I was sewing a wig for a friend. It could be that you went through to many loops, or maybe you should try a different brand. I made another crochet wig for a friend, and bought a different brand net, and I didn't like how it turned out it was to thick.
You have to make sure the mannequin head you're making it on is about the same size as yours. Use a tape measure to make measurements and compare. If it's smaller, you can bulk it up with duct tape until it's enough.
I Spread the hair out, and fluff the curls, especially in the back. Plus it depends on what texture your working with. On other wigs I've. made I. always use 2-3 packs of hair.
KRISSY POO CAN I CALL U THAT BCUZ THAT IS SOOOOOO CUTE ON U SOOO I WILL TRY IT ON ME AND I WILL SHARE WITH U,,,BUT THE WIG IS A VERY SMART AND FAST WAY BCUZ I DO CHANGE HAIRSTYLES A LOT BUT ANYWOO THATS TOO CUTE....

Crystal Michelle Awesome!!! Thank you!!! God bless you!!
This is really nice! It looks great on you :) I will definitely be trying this DIY! Thanks for sharing. Quick question did you rod the hair before you installed it--or did you install the hair then rod and dip it?
I would rod a pack of hair, then install. Then repeat the process. I found it much easier to curl the hair first
Crystal Michelle Okay, great! Thank you so much for your response!! And thanks for sharing this look :)
Love this! Your wig came out so pretty!
Thank you Jessica!

hi,thanks for the tutorial video but can I make use of any cheaper Marley hair and would it come out beautiful like yours ,also last long?
It's a wig, so I still have it, and I'm sure similar Marley hair will give you a similar look. I've used other brands, and this was my favorite.
👏👏👏👍👍👍 Well done!!! You wow me with this tutorial. I'll give this a try. Btw you look like doll. 😊
I've been looking EVERYWHERE for this exact brand of hair.
Know of any place online?

very nice i love making crochet wigs!! :) tfs!
:-)
I luv the results
Love this! Did you stretch or comb out the hair first?
FAMEous7 Nope, I found that my curls weren't as tight when I tried that method off camera.
Thank you for your response!
I love how you only used 2 packs of hair. I've been wanting to do this but the volume of the crochet wigs I've seen was just too much, way too much hair. Do you start to crochet right at the bottom(nape) of your wig cap? Or do you start above the edge of the cap?

I ended up cutting a lot of hair out because it was just so much, and I wanted it to be as natural as possible.
Thanks for replying!
Great Job! Going to try this soon!
great job! I'm making mine right now :)
Your hair looks freakin awesome!!! Great video!! I got a question. Did you lose some of the stretch in your cap as you tied the hair on?
Hi Kira, and thank you. No I didn't have a problem with that at all!
Crystal Michelle Oh ok!!! Thanks!!!
Hi, what products did you use on the hair?
Did you add combs to the wig to secure it?
Do you always wear the wig with the part on the same side or do you move it to the other side? I'm trying to decide whether I should do side or middle parting. Thank you!
milkandhoney84 I only where it to the side
Did you wash the hair before you started to curl it? I've seen some videos where people have done that first.
HyoriHyuga Hi, and no I didn't
did you cut your hair into two or just did them full
How do you keep the band on the wig cap from showing
So cool! What is awesome look!
Thank you!
How did you get your hair to remain long even after you curled it? Did you stretch the hair?
The longer the hair is, the more elongation your will get, due to it's weight. If you curl short hair, it's not going to have that weight stretch on it's on.
how do you hide the band though? Is the netted cap sturdy enough to hold the heavy hair?
Marley hair is not as heavy as it looks.
Wow I will be making this wig soon !
Monique James Good Luck Monique!
Best tutorial for me!!!!
I know I'm late but would my hair still turn out the same if I haven't done it as a wig??
+briyanna ceasar yes it would just braid your hair correctly
Loooooove it! U look beautiful
Thanks Daynelle! Love your name!
Did you put any product on the marley hair to make the curl hold?
I didn't put any product on. However a week later, I put a little bit of wrap lotion on top, to get rid of any friz
I'm going to try this soon
I'm looking for a. good video that shows a crochet wig with crochet braids in so I can better do mines when I want to or will just. Do Micronesia wigs again
did you end up cutting the part of the band that showed?... I cant see it a the end
Ms. Photographik 1908 Hi, no I left it as is.
Cute! Why not use the sew in marley hair? It's quicker
I wasn't crazy about the texture.
What was the length of the hair? And did you cut it in half?
No I did not cut the hair in half, the pack didn't state how long it was, it was your average length of any braiding hair you purchase. However, after installing, the hair was way to long/thick, so I did thin the hair out, and cut the hair till it was around shoulder length.
How were you able to hide the band?? If anyone has tried this method, please let me know
It looks like she crocheted around the band, and pulled the wig a Lil behind her hairline to help give it a natural parting look.
how long does the wig stay together?
nice! How's your hair underneath?
Since it's a wig and I can take it off at night,I make sure to do the loc method as often as needed.
Looks great...
Did you comb the hair out first?
No I did not, I fluffed curling, and crocheting the hair.
How many packs did you use ?
I tried to do mine but I guess I pulled them thru too many loops bc it shrinked. And doesn't fit my head :/ what should I do
Try measuring your dome head,then yours, and thickening it up with either news paper or duck tape to make it your size. This happened to me once when I was sewing a wig for a friend. It could be that you went through to many loops, or maybe you should try a different brand. I made another crochet wig for a friend, and bought a different brand net, and I didn't like how it turned out it was to thick.
The net I got was the only one. I'll go on Amazon. But thank you so much
How do you keep the cap from shrinking? I ran into this issue when I finished the cap didn't fut
**fit
You have to make sure the mannequin head you're making it on is about the same size as yours. Use a tape measure to make measurements and compare. If it's smaller, you can bulk it up with duct tape until it's enough.
Can I do this with an existing wig that has Marley hair attached?
odyejim I don't see why not :-)
Nice. What's the name of this instrumental
Omg so amazing
Thank you!
Looks great! Pay that troll no attention!
what length is this??
I love it
How Many Packs Of the marley hair ?
Hi everything you need to know is always in the description box, 2 packs. :-)
how long did this wig last?
Hi I still have it, but I do mot wear it every day.
Awesome!!
Thank you!
I'm not sure if you have already answered this question but here it goes, would you be open to selling a Marley wig that you made?
Kirsten Davis Hi Kristen, yes I am, and I already have for a few clients. Just email me @ Minimisshair@gmail! My business email.
Is it heavy?
No not at all, but it does fall in my face a lot lol
I don't understand how you only used 2 packs when I had to use 5 packs
I Spread the hair out, and fluff the curls, especially in the back. Plus it depends on what texture your working with. On other wigs I've. made I. always use 2-3 packs of hair.
Oh my God!!
i looove
I love you so much better if it is not the same thing over and over
KRISSY POO CAN I CALL U THAT BCUZ THAT IS SOOOOOO CUTE ON U SOOO I WILL TRY IT ON ME AND I WILL SHARE WITH U,,,BUT THE WIG IS A VERY SMART AND FAST WAY BCUZ I DO CHANGE HAIRSTYLES A LOT BUT ANYWOO THATS TOO CUTE....
