wig in progress

 Good morning!

yesterday my bundles arrived and I went grocery shopping in the morning and I found this cool pillow!

I thought about getting one from work but they cost around 30€ and that's not much but I really try not to spend so much money, especially because I just shopped a lot and got wig bundles.

But here it was...for just 8€, also with a memory cushion and I thought whatever...for 8€ I will be fine.

It was so cozy to sleep on tonight.

Also btw, not sure if I mentioned it but it has been pretty obvious I guess...my "couch" accidentally turned into my permanent bed....

whoops...

But also it means, it was the right idea lmao...I sleep so well lately.

Maybe it has something to do with the room..or partly with the matress as well.

I have no idea what kind of matress I got myself for my bed a few years ago but I bet it was just some standard cheap one I could find since I didn't have the budget.

After working in the furniture shop, I know a little bit what to look after when searching for a matress and I was able to test many over there as well and figure out my "taste".

This matress from the daybed/couch is also a cheap one but it had the features I liked, so that's good enough apparently to make me sleep better.

WELL ANYWAY TO THE BUNDLES.

I am gonna be honest...I expected brown...like chocolate brown or something.

But they are red/brown. It's actually really cool, it is almost the same color I got on my head right now.

I chose 28inch now since the price difference wasn't much, plus I knew the tips probably will arrive very thin, so I can cut off a few inches and still keep the length.

I could not resist and immediately started sewing it onto the cap.

It took me ALL DAY.. I started after lunch like around 1pm I guess and I was done at 10pm.

I am sooo happy with the result!!

I need to braid my hair underneath, right now there is just too much volume without, wash the hair properly and maybe cut the tips a lil bit and then I sew in the rubber band and tape underneath the lace to make the roots more realistic.

I did just one teeny tiny mistake and didn't put the closure in the front enough...now you can kinda see the dome cap on one side when the hair moves out of the way and I am thinking how I can fix this.

I am totally in love and will definitely stick to sewing my own wigs in the future instead of buying finished ones.

Can you remember the blonde wig and how short it was? No volume?

Crazy how that works.

But for now I put pause on this wig, I used a whole day for it...my butt is exhausted from sitting and I actually wanted to keep working on my nail business (preparing something for the website).

I am still on low energy which does not help me but I have to try my best to at least do something.

Doing a small thing a day is still more progress than doing nothing.
