If anyone here who's just starting out feels clueless just know that I'm a professional-ish doll artist who's been doing this for about eight years and I still come back to this video again and again because I'm still completely mystified by wig making.
Aha! Elastic... this is something I have been missing! I have just been making gauze and white glue caps but the elastic sounds like a really logical idea.... I should have thought of this!! Aha! This wigcap is totally different... I need to make some as I don't like glue on the wigs...or at least I haven't been happy with white glue or hot glue. This is why I thought sewing the wefts in was a better idea... thanks again ...well it's you that pulled me kicking and screaming, into the doll hobby... actually I can't thank you enough! Yes I do believe that this is the wig making style for me!
Yeah, you can, but I found that it takes a long time and you can only use certain types of hair, but you could go to a thrift shop or a hair store and get ‘real’ hair that would be normally used for extensions. When I used that kind of hair it really worked. I didn’t do a full scale adult sized wig, just a cold sized wig, but it was worth it. I suggest you try it! It’s satisfying like rug hooking!
These videos are awesome. I love your videos, it makes me smile when I see the notification for it, even if I am in school when I get it. Keep up the good work!
Basically you can so yeah. You'd just need a mannequin head that is similar to your own head size I guess. Edit: I did this for a cosplay so like, do what you like cause ya special!✨
So this whole wig thing gave me an idea..... Could you do a tutorial on how to cover up all those holes so you could just have a bald doll without it looking weird? Maybe even do a cancer custom? My mom has cancer but she hasn't lost her hair beucase the chemo treatment actually almost killed her but she has lost quite a bit of hair. Dolls are supposed to be somewhat inspirational or an idol influencing ones life to young females (and males! 😉) like the Barbie! I think a Cancer inspired custom would be a great awareness and to show all those poor cancer patients that they are still beautiful and to not stress over their appearance! 😊 Hmm...... I don't know..... I'll let you decide and figure this out! It was just one of my ideas that I thought I would share! So.... yeah! Hope This comment will be seen, if not I'll just repost this on another video lol. XD
Walkercolours played around with this concept on one of her recent ancestry dolls, she used to to create a traditional African hairstyle. Check out her channel to see if how she did it would work for you. Best of luck love
I think a coating of liquid latex mixed with the needed colors would do the trick. Could also possibly take the same material they make bald wig caps out of and then glue it down to the doll maybe? Haven't tried any of it myself yet
I prefer a wigs 1. Because you can change the hair colour when ever you want 2. It's much easier to wash the hair if it gets mucky or dirty and you don't have to get your doll wet 3. It's a lot of fun to swap the hair from other doll to doll 😊
@@leslieabla If the doll has straight long hair, I would part down the middle and make two braids, starting at the base of the neck. Tie them together using loose overhand knots all the way to the end and secure with rubberband. This will shorten the hair so you have more flexibility with length. Then make your wig to fit. If you want to make a short wig, swirl your doll's hair around the head and pin down or make a little tight fitting cap out of knee-hi stockings. Then make your wig. Have fun. ;)
I legit just thought of this, but wouldn't it be cool if she used this wig for one of the stockbox videos? I dunno why, but I feel like it would be a waste to not use such a pretty wig. Just saying though 😂
This is the most comprehensive tutorial I've seen yet on how to make a sewn doll wig. Thank you so very much for being so thorough. It really helps even the bit at the end about styling and parting the hair, because let's face it, you go through all that hard work, get it to look reasonably good and then have absolutely no idea what to do with it or how to get it to look right afterwards!
Thank you so much! Tbh I'd rather sew it then glue everything like the wig cap and wefts and gluing the wefts on because I'm too impatient for it all to dry xD! It would take me about two weeks or so because everything takes so long to dry! This would maybe take a week or less depending on school work and everything! thank you again!
littlekellye_ if you glue the wefts they will come out of the head and will not stay intact with the dolls cap and if the wig is in a hot space the glue will come off the cap or one day they will come off form the glue being old .
Kat Gacha Then just start practicing! You're not gonna get automatically good if you don't do it! Try practicing by doing small plushies or something ^u^
Dollightful I have a challenge for you and also cuz I'm curious if it will work I dare you to re root a doll using fake hair exstentions like the ones you clip in your hair when you were younger
Dollightful has mentioned before (I believe in the Theia Thriftford episode?) for rerooting doll hair you can use Halloween wigs. But you need to be careful when styling them because it can melt it or make it a frizzy mess
I love how at the very end the doll on the right is guarding her wig like, "Mine! No one else can wear this!" You've seriously inspired me to eventually try my hand at doing some customs. I've done custom Funko Pop figures, but not dolls. One day I will be brave enough.
I can't be the only person who didn't know your main doll had a wig instead of being rerooted, right? Anyway, this tutorial is so helpful! Definitely going to be doing this
Hi, I love your tutorials! I'm planning to make a Hatsune Miku miniature wig for my customized doll... Do you have an advise for making the pigtails? Thank you!
Hmmm.. the trick would be having lots of hair down her part so that the pigtails look correct. You might have to sew on the wefts in stripes from the crown of her head rather than a spiral... I'd have to think about it, haha!
That sound great. I think about doing the wig very short, and leave a space on each side where the pigtails will be, then make a fringe for the front. And finally, sewing on pigtails after making them with the technique you use to complete the spiral in your tutorial... ?
I like both. A downside of wigs is you can’t brush through them easily and an upside is they are easier than reroots and less expensive sometimes. Reroots are great and are fun to comb through, however the materials for reroots can be expensive sometimes.
I'm just using this as a rough guide on how to make wigs for myself, cuz I'm making a Mikan cosplay soon, so I'm binging wig making tutorials, and this was one of the first ones that came up-
human hair extensions work as well if you want to recycle or save costs! sometimes they are made of high quality nylon and already come sewn into wefts... you can cut the wefts out, spread it out and cut them to length... use the cut offs to make shorter wefts for shorter wigs
Dollightful! I need your advice! You are my go-to gal when I have doll-decor problems. So I am thinking of giving this doll I bought at the flea-market some highlights, just to make her more unique and fun. But I am not sure if sharpie is the best way to go. I know it's kinda the cheap rout. I've tried it on some other dolls and so far so good. The hairstyle I have planned for this doll will be permanent so I won't be brushing her much which will likely avoid any ink coming off (if it does), but still tell me your experience on dying doll hair and what do you recommend. It would mean so much if you could replay. Have a great day!! :D
this was ages ago but just in case someone else is curious and looks at these replies - there’s a great tutorial by Alexa Poletti on dying synthetic wigs and i see no reason why it shouldn’t work for dolls too! i’ve used it on a wig before and it worked beautifully!
If you want to do hair that goes away from the face (but could show the jagged ends of the lace), you should *try folding the excess lace back over the elastic* before sewing the layers together. This creates a simple hem, so when you fold the wig cap right side out, the messy ends of the lace are contained within the wig itself. 👌✨ (Note: I don't actually own BJDs, so I'm not sure how well that works in practice, but I *do* cosplay and make my own clothes/pillows/plushies so I've got some sewing experience, haha.) Btw, 10:22 was beautiful. haha. Bless.
Note: Instead of going through the annoying trouble of tying a knot with the thread, just use the "backstitch" setting in the machine. Usually it's a button that you hold down with a little arrow making a u-turn on it. Just a little tip!
Curly Bug Dude, it’s Spanish. I’m taking my first Spanish class this year, and I can at least somewhat understand. If you really wanted to know what it says, use a translator.
Thank you Dollightful!! This vid is incredibly helpful :) Love it. Just one question: is it normal for the wig cap to lose some of its stretch when finished? It did for the first wig I (just) made, making it hard to keep the wig on my doll's head. I figure this is something I did, and not your excellent teaching!
This is from 2016 I know, but just in case people haven't thought of it, you could use water soluble stabilizer. It comes in sheets and is made to hold up to machine embroidery or appliqué and then rinsed out afterwards. It holds and reinforces the fabric in the hoop while the machine does its work and helps the stitchwork look nice and even .
I'm making a cloth doll and was totally freaking out about how to handle the hair... Even though it's a slightly different process, this video was SO helpful omg, i can't thank you enough! 😊
I can't find any information on google, so can anyone here please tell me can mohair be boil washed? It should be fine, as human hair can go into hot water, but I don't know for sure and whether it would actually work permanently.
Hey! dollightful can tell me when your video is and tell me the name of it so you can give me a shout out because I'm such a fan of you good work I wish I was good as you.
yeah! It should work, although yarn wefts (I promise I know what you're talking about xD) do tend to be a little less strong. 4 months late, but I hope this helps!
If anyone here who's just starting out feels clueless just know that I'm a professional-ish doll artist who's been doing this for about eight years and I still come back to this video again and again because I'm still completely mystified by wig making.
I might try this on a larger scale and make my own custom wig.

Lizzy krueger Great idea!
LOL😂😂😂 me toooo
Lizzy krueger I might make on for my dolls

That actually looks way easier than I expected... now I just gotta try it lol
You are my favorite person that makes stop
TY this is tha best! Can i make human wigs using this tutorial?
Of course you can.
You would just have to buy longer hair.
SkitttycatS yep
Yeah, you can, but I found that it takes a long time and you can only use certain types of hair, but you could go to a thrift shop or a hair store and get ‘real’ hair that would be normally used for extensions.

Alton Tidwell yes you actually can
These videos are awesome. I love your videos, it makes me smile when I see the notification for it, even if I am in school when I get it. Keep up the good work!
Loved it :) also Can you maybe do a video talking just about the "different doll hair types" and whether you can boil wash them etc.
The wig reminds me of Stocking’s hair from Panty and Stocking!
Amazing......
Don't worry your sound is fine
Thank you for this video i really need this
I like wigs and reroots
Wigs are fun but your doll is bald and reroots are cool because it's like you doll has actual hair
Loved the Korean workbook paper lol
WHO'S HERE IN 2020? finally getting my first fashion doll (licca-chan head/creatable world body) and i'll be making her a wig!
That is really clever
I collected is this time , I was barbie.😍😍
i kinda like the music u play ☺
There is a hook needle you should look into for sewing on wefts
0:05 aweee you sound so cute!
Would this also work with a human hair doll wig? Or a yarn wig? I want to try other materials and I wonder if this style of tutorial would still work.
very intresting!
What if I make a wig using my own hair. I wanna try.
edit: I don't have enough hair
Hehe im make a Barbie with my sistet hair XD
use your own im using my hair oof
cat corn
Next time I get a hair cut ima steal da hair
c:
lol
*sends package of hair*
What? My sister had some... Extra hair...
“Will work on any scale doll”
So what your saying is....theoretically.... I could use this to make a wig for myself?
Basically you can so yeah. You'd just need a mannequin head that is similar to your own head size I guess.
Edit: I did this for a cosplay so like, do what you like cause ya special!✨
My thoughts exactly! ☺️
Idk what you mean lol
Kawaii Manguru Chan *i g u e s s*
yep, you can, but there are easier ways to make yarn weft wigs for humans lmao
So this whole wig thing gave me an idea..... Could you do a tutorial on how to cover up all those holes so you could just have a bald doll without it looking weird?
Maybe even do a cancer custom?
My mom has cancer but she hasn't lost her hair beucase the chemo treatment actually almost killed her but she has lost quite a bit of hair.
Dolls are supposed to be somewhat inspirational or an idol influencing ones life to young females (and males! 😉) like the Barbie!
I think a Cancer inspired custom would be a great awareness and to show all those poor cancer patients that they are still beautiful and to not stress over their appearance! 😊
Hmm...... I don't know..... I'll let you decide and figure this out! It was just one of my ideas that I thought I would share! So.... yeah!
Hope This comment will be seen, if not I'll just repost this on another video lol. XD

CornBeanSoup our could just try putting clay over the holes and painting it or airbrushing it to match the skin colour?

It is a WIG
Sushi Shay It is a fact people make mistakes, realize that yet?
I was wondering if you didn't want too chop off your dolls hair, would their still be a way to use a wig?
@@leslieabla If the doll has straight long hair, I would part down the middle and make two braids, starting at the base of the neck.

Btw, if you're making this to curl & style, don't use nylon. This will melt if it comes in contact with anything hot. Hope this helps!
Pin curls work wonders

Ok good
i mean she could use the wig without making a video about it??????

This vid was made in 2016. That hair has probably been used
I think she used it for nova?

Dollightful I have a challenge for you and also cuz I'm curious if it will work
I dare you to re root a doll using fake hair exstentions like the ones you clip in your hair when you were younger
GalxayGirl117Gaming I believe my froggy stuff did that with one of her customs
I sometimes do stuff like that and I think it would work okay
We all know you are asking if that works.
I've rerooted and made wigs using synthetic hair for braiding.
Dollightful has mentioned before (I believe in the Theia Thriftford episode?) for rerooting doll hair you can use Halloween wigs. But you need to be careful when styling them because it can melt it or make it a frizzy mess

Does this work on a human wig?
i guees i'm tryin this too
Probably, but it would be very hard in places and a lot more expensive obv
actually it won't cost much at all depending on hair price
yes and go on aliexpress to get a good deal on hair and get a wig cap so you can make one
yup
Does anyone know if this works for human sized wigs?? I wanna get into cosplay but I’m broke lol
I think it probably will it might just take more time

Awesome! I'll try to use this method to make a cosplay wig :D
Go for it :D
After I get to it and try, I'll let you know! But I dont see why it shouldnt, it should be even easier on a bigger scale :3

This could also just make a shower cap
this can work very well with premade wefts! THANK YOU!

YES
Too poor for doll hair, cuts off own hair
Or of they don't have those either but they have acrylic or nylon yarn they can make yarn wefts

I would say do it her style
1. Get dye colour
2. Have hair
3. Dip hair into dye
4. Shampoo and rinse it a couple of times
5. You're Done!
You might be able to use pastels 😁
this was ages ago but just in case someone else is curious and looks at these replies - there’s a great tutorial by Alexa Poletti on dying synthetic wigs and i see no reason why it shouldn’t work for dolls too! i’ve used it on a wig before and it worked beautifully!
i did this with a rea wig, i regret NOTHING!
Wow 😁! I'll try that too!
If you want to do hair that goes away from the face (but could show the jagged ends of the lace), you should *try folding the excess lace back over the elastic* before sewing the layers together. This creates a simple hem, so when you fold the wig cap right side out, the messy ends of the lace are contained within the wig itself. 👌✨
(Note: I don't actually own BJDs, so I'm not sure how well that works in practice, but I *do* cosplay and make my own clothes/pillows/plushies so I've got some sewing experience, haha.)
Btw, 10:22 was beautiful. haha. Bless.
your videos really make me feel like I could do this if I tried
I bet you could :D
Ghibligirl88 Yes, but I wouldn't try...
Lol
Ghibligirl88 I mean I wouldn't but YOU could
you should try
Do you find it quicker/easier to make wigs like this or reroot?
Hmm... now that I think about it, I'd say the time it takes is about equal. If you purchase the hair as wefts, though, I'd say the wig is faster. :D
Dollightful what if u don't have any special doll hair, and if ur trying to make one 4 an lps?
love the wig

I like the wig because you can switch it out and make another one
If you get a cold then: oh it's fine no big deal
If you get a cold now😷: oh no.....
This could eather be twilight sparkle's or stocking's hair
Vosina twilight sparkle’s hair would be more purple than this wig
Vosina stocking's hair is a bit darker
"I hope I was clear and you found this tutorial helpful" YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOU HELPED ME
Another possibly easier why to do this is use glue if you don’t have a sewing machine or if your lazy like me 😂😂😂
Do you think this method work with making cosplay wigs?
I feel like it would work on a big scale, although I haven't tried a life-size one myself.
Great, I will try it out, thank you! If it works I will let you know ^^

I is Sons Of Liberty that was weird
Grace Gracy Boo me too but not when the cat is asleep
I was actually gonna say that XD
I do that but with my dog XD So if they r sleeping they wake up if I do dat
Note: Instead of going through the annoying trouble of tying a knot with the thread, just use the "backstitch" setting in the machine. Usually it's a button that you hold down with a little arrow making a u-turn on it. Just a little tip!

Curly Bug Dude, it’s Spanish. I’m taking my first Spanish class this year, and I can at least somewhat understand. If you really wanted to know what it says, use a translator.
Sing Love yo hablo español yeey
Is it possible to just hand sew everything myself and have it still come out well if I don't have a sewing machine?
I wish I could say 'yes', but I have my doubts. I wouldn't know how to create the wefts. There's always glue-cap wigs.
Okay, thx for getting back to me. I was just wondering because I wanna try making over an old doll I have, but I don't have a machine.
I have almost all the supplies for this
*EXCEPT THE DOLL*
hit up Goodwill or resale shops, we have found almost all our project dolls there for just 2.00 or less. :)
@@mimimom1237 Thank's for the advice
haw do you make it look so good mine looks like crap
The Gibbs Family Experience and practice.
Me: Man, I’d never have the patience to make that!
Video: I think it’s my best wig yet!
Me: Wait...she’s made more than one.....
*Ded*
This is amazing but how did I get here lol 😂
When you said "annyeong" (i think it's spelled right) you sounded like a toddler! (In a good way)
I love you
🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you jungcuc
Thank you Dollightful!! This vid is incredibly helpful :) Love it.
Just one question: is it normal for the wig cap to lose some of its stretch when finished? It did for the first wig I (just) made, making it hard to keep the wig on my doll's head. I figure this is something I did, and not your excellent teaching!
This is from 2016 I know, but just in case people haven't thought of it, you could use water soluble stabilizer. It comes in sheets and is made to hold up to machine embroidery or appliqué and then rinsed out afterwards. It holds and reinforces the fabric in the hoop while the machine does its work and helps the stitchwork look nice and even
.
So now I’m thinking.....
Can you do this with a real wig
TheLeakyCoaldren Art probably but you’re gunna need a lot of hair
I'm making a cloth doll and was totally freaking out about how to handle the hair... Even though it's a slightly different process, this video was SO helpful omg, i can't thank you enough! 😊
I wish I had a sewing machine 😖
I'm getting one
I’m lucky my grandma gave me her old one last year. I still don’t completely understand how to use it though lmao
Also you can basically do anything that a sewing machine with a needle and thread but it will take WAY longer and it will look less precise
@@roro6320 Unless you're a sewing master ;). Though I by far aren't one, and I'm looking sadly at the sloppy hand-sewn work I did on my doll XD
I can't find any information on google, so can anyone here please tell me can mohair be boil washed? It should be fine, as human hair can go into hot water, but I don't know for sure and whether it would actually work permanently.
Your very great at what you do.And my name is messiah.
Thank you very much Messiah!
your welcome and can you tell me how to get a youtube account so I could make videos too.
Hey! dollightful can tell me when your video is and tell me the name of it so you can give me a shout out because I'm such a fan of you good work I wish I was good as you.
Messiah Jones Thanks for watching!! :D I'm sorry, but I decided not to do shout-outs. I love all you guys and can't pick just one or-two to feature!!
love
I put this on my watch later a year ago
Fun w/ Sheeps wow.
The galaxy quad I know
Tbh I think it’s something i might do lol
Can you do this with combed out yarn too??
yeah! It should work, although yarn wefts (I promise I know what you're talking about xD) do tend to be a little less strong. 4 months late, but I hope this helps!
who said it looks like clown hair?@Gay
@Taylor combed out yarn looks like hair, dolllightful has used this alot actually
I love you V.
Could the wig be made for an 18" doll?
Yes, but it may take FOREVER
