Tiktoker, Esther S Obeng, has stunned users on the app with her innovative way to wear a u-part wig. So far the video has 100k views. Users have been loving the ease of this look and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love repurposing old things? Lets break this down.
The Foundation
No matter what type of install you’re going for, the foundation you lay your wig upon, is always important. In this case, you can go the lazy route and throw your hair into a low bun with a middle part. If you have extra time, it would be best to braid down your hair. Make sure the part you decide to make has enough hair on either side that’s flattened down, to make the end result look more natural.
Prep The Wig
If your wig is curly, make sure to use the proper products to keep those coils luscious and full. Nobody likes stale curls! In the video, Esther used Dove’s Intensive Repair Conditioner and Kim Kimble’s Leave In Conditioner. Apply a generous amount of the products on dampened hair and brush through thoroughly.
The Install
Here’s where we get to the magic. First, you’d install the wig as normal. Once clipped in, you will grab a crochet needle, run it through the top of the flattened hair on one side of your part, take a small piece of hair from the top of the wig that’s close to the seam, lock it in the needle and pull through! You will repeat this in tiny increments all along the “U” of the wig. Once finished, make sure to play with it a little to make it natural and tease the hair at the crochet knot! Give it a shake, and you’re good to go!
The Takedown
@esthersobeng As promised, the take down process💋 #naturalhairstyles #4chairstyles #4chairdaily #afrohair #kinksandcoils #blessedwithcurls #myhaircrush #curlypearls #naturalhaircommunity #naturalhairspot #loveyourmane #fleekynaturalhair #4chairclub #pritectivehairstyles #nhdaily #nhd #hergivenhair #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #fypシ #fy #fypage #foryourpage #wigs #wiginstall #wigtok #wigtutorial #wigstyling
Taking it down might require a little bit of patience, but it’s relatively easy. Once at a time, you will untie the knots you made with your crochet needle. If you did it correctly and neatly during the install, this should be a piece of cake! Just make sure to take your time, so you can keep the wigs for another install later!
