How To Create
This Hairpiece |
The
Deluxe Wiglet Hairpiece is done by first designing a Stretch
Frame foundation.
This
type of foundation is made with front and rear Lace-net Foundation
Inserts. The Lace-net Foundation Inserts are sewn to two 1/4
inch elastic bands to complete the Outer Foundation Frame. To
complete this Hairpiece a diamond pattern Inner Frame consisting
of Wefting Strips are sewn between the Outer Frame.
To
prepare this Hairpiece for wearing several attachment Comb
Clips are sewn to the Foundation Inserts.
To
create the front Foundation Inserts:
- Hold
a piece of Flat Lace Monofilament Material over the front hairline
area.
With a helper:
- Draw
an outline (similar to the pattern showen in the illustration)
of the front insert.
- (Creating
several copies of the original insert and sewing them together
to create a thick foundation insert is recommended.)
|
To create
the FRONT Foundation Inserts:
- Hold a piece
of Flat Lace Monofilament Material over the front hairline area.
With a helper:
- Draw an outline
(similar to the pattern showen in the illustration) of the front
insert.
(Creating several
copies of the original insert and sewing them together to create
a thick foundation insert is recommended.)
To create
the REAR Foundation Inserts:
- Use above procedure
to make Rear Insert.
|
 |
|
| Attaching
Elastic Bands To Outter Frame : |
Using a 1/4
inch Elastic Stretch Band - 4 inches in length:
- Sew one end
of each 4" Elastic Band to each side of Front Frame.
- Sew opposite
ends of Elastic Bands to each side of Rear Frame.
(See illustration for guidance.)
Because everyone's
head shape and size is slightly different... designing the Outer
Frame to fit you head is recommended.
For this take
measurements of the area where the Hairpiece is being designed
to fit and make adjustments to allow for any changes in size
and shape while designing this Hairpiece.
When sewing together
the Inner Frame of Hairpiece allow for changes in the length
of each Wefting Strip.

You have the
2 options of trimming the foundation edge.

a 1/2 inch bias tape Trim Ribbon.
Instructions:
a. Fold and pin Trim Ribbon over edge of foundation allowing
1/4 inch of Trim Ribbon to overlap each side of the foundation.
b. Sew Trim Ribbon to wrap edge of foundation.
Option 2.
- You can use
MHRW EasyTAB Compound to seal the foundation edge.
Instructions:
a. Simply brush MHRW EasyTAB Compound to entire underside of
foundation.
