TUTORIAL: Adding Wefts to Wigsby =Stealthos-Aurion

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Artisan Crafts

So, how many of you have either bought wefts or made them, whether by sewing or using silicone caulk, then wondered what to do next?

Adding wefts to a wig is quite easy but no one seems to describe the process in their own wig tutorials. So, in my tutorial I have broken down the process for you.

It is more like a set of guidelines, there is plenty of room for your own twists. I prefer to sew my wefts in, but heck, if you wanted to you could hot glue them into place (if you do not ever plan to remove the wefts). This tutorial visually shows how to add wefts inbetween pre-existing wefts. There are many more things you can do with wefts such as adding them to the edges of the wig for up-dos etc. The possibilities are endless.

Anyway, I hope this tutorial is helpful to someone. Let me know if something is not clear. Feedback is great.

This...this is what I needed. I've been struggling with trying to get the damn wigs to look less sparse for ages, and now I can buy wefts and not sit there like an idiot. Thank you so much for this, it's been one of the most helpful and simple ways to help any cosplayer!

Thank you so much for this;;;;
I learned that I'll have to do wefting for an Urara cosplay from tsuritama earlier today, and finding this tutorial has helped me calm myself down, and be excited to try it out. \owo/

Oh thank the cosplay gods, you may have just saved my Lin Xiao Li wig since I ended up with Wefts and no idea how the heck to use them.

hello, at last I find smething close to what i'm trying to do, I am making disney's Ariel costume, though for the wig I didn't want a ridiculous intense Red colour becuase it looks silly in reall life on people, so I found one in this beautiful Red/Brown colour, from the photos it looked like it had enough on the fringe to play with, but when I received it, the fringe was a little shorter. A girl on cosplay directed me here as she used it to add to her wig but can't really describe to me how she did it.
I have added hair to the bottom of a wig for my Rapunzel, which was dead easy. But this time I have this little fringe and need to find a way to compleltey cut the whole fringe off and add layers, I've just bought another wig, so waiting on that to come. The fringe on it looks about the same length as in your wig here above. I did do Ariel's pink dress ast year and bought this long copper/Red wig, but really was more copper than any Red, but it did have a long fringe. The toruble I have also is even though I sprayed it with hair spray, is getting the fringe to stay up like a big poof in the air, it keeps flopping down, I put 2 hairs grips in it in the hair to hold it up, but it kind of ruins it when you can see hair grips in place.
This wig i've got now I spent hours getting the fringe to part on the side, but have now finaly done that part.
If I had your e-mail address maybe I could send you some photos of it and you could point me in the direction of adding hair from another wig to it so that I could have a very long thick fringe to play with, at the moment I only this little poof.

Please get back to me soon

You could upload the photos somewhere like photobucket or flickr and send the links in a note.

I cannot exactly tell what you mean in your post above but have you tried using a teasing comb to give the hair more volume?

Hi~ This tutorial is great! But there is one thing I'm wondering about; where do you buy your wefts/hair? I'm really new to styling wigs, so I'm sorry if my question is stupid xD
