Bobbi Boss Bonela wig - DIY project

Hey all. How's it going today? Remember that Bobbi Boss Bonela Brazilian hair I blogged about not too long ago? Well it is now in a wig. No, not from Bobbi Boss; but my own hands.
I took down my weave last weekend and decided to treat my own hair for a minute . You know I always stress the importance of taking care of your own hair, no matter how super cute that weave hair might be.
 I have observed a lot of young ladies with too-long weaves and when the wind blows, no hairline. Ladies that's not right at all. Your first hair love should be the one growing from your own head and not the one you buy at the store!
Okay so back to my wig.
 In order to treat my hair I knew that I had to wig it . A weave wouldn't allow me the access I needed to get to my own hair as often as I wanted.
You know how much I love that Bonela hair. Even after a few washes, it still rocks. I bought the Magic DIY wig cap at my beauty supply store  and,
using the same hair and a closure , created this wig that you see . I love her!!! I have learned so much from my last wig experience. Check back a few blogs for the wig I called Essiba.
Unlike this wig, Essiba featured bangs and I had to make my own closure in the middle. I didn't wear her much because I bought the wrong wig cap and it kept slipping off my head.
Thankfully,  this cap is thick and  fits, not tight   on my head.
I know that most DIY wig makers are using hot glue to get their hair on to the wig caps,  but  for this wig I chose to do a  complete sew in. It was time consuming but so worth it! Now I just
 have to find a name for her. Essiba reloaded,  perhaps?
