After a few washes, Kay really changed on a sister. The form it had when I just bought it, was lost and it just looked like a raggedy old wig. What's a girl to do? Throw it out ? Depends on the girl. I know that this girl don't waste hair!!!
I pulled that bad girl from my bag of wigs and decided to give her a fresh start. I sewed in four rows of curly hair weave pieces and left the bang intact and voila , a new wig was born.
Weeks later I had second thoughts about my newly created wig. Whenever I washed it , got poofy like those tired 80s jherri curl hair weaves that I hate so much.
Again I was faced with the decision to either toss it or upcycle it. I chose the latter.
I got down in my hair bag again and found a pack of Milky Way Weave Master Yaky weave in the colour 1b/350 (copper and black for the newcomers). I bought that hair on sale that I never got to use it... until now.
I took my time and removed ALL the hair on the Kay wig, since an old wig cap is the best to work on for a great fit. I put the now "bald" wig cap on my mannequin head and did a complete sew in- using the beehive sew in technique.
The result was amazing. I loved it so much that I wore it to church service this morning.
To think this was a wig that was about to be tossed! See what you can do with a little imagination, and of course, a love for hair extensions ! One wig- Three different looks .
