Introduction

Hey there, beauties! Today, we're going to dive into the world of DIY hair units and create a fabulous detachable crown. We'll be using the crochet method, which is a great option for versatility and ease. If you're ready to rock a stunning, customized wig, grab your supplies and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we jump right into the tutorial, let's gather all the necessary materials. Here's what you'll need:

• Mesh wig cap
• Crochet wig cap
• Needle and thread
• Tape measure
• Crochet needle
• Gold marker
• Crochet hair
• Sewing machine (optional)
• Lighter (optional)

Now that we have everything ready, let's move on to the next step.

Preparing the Canvas Block

To begin, we need to prepare our canvas block. This will ensure that our crown unit fits securely and comfortably. Stretch your dome cap over the canvas block, making sure it lays flat. We won't be using the thick part of the block, so start marking just above that line.

Creating the Front Hairline

Using the crochet cap, place it on top of the block. This cap will serve as the front hairline of our unit. Use the gold marker to designate the desired position of the hairline. Now, take the tape measure and measure your front to back length. Mark the eight-inch measurement and proceed to mark the halfway point, which will determine the side to side measurement.

Measuring for the Front to Back Wig Cap

For the area that will be left out at the front, you'll want a measurement of approximately eight inches. Mark that measurement, and then divide it in half to get your side to side measurements.

Measuring for the Side to Side Wig Cap

Using the tape measure again, measure your side to side distance. Mark it at seven and a half inches, ensuring it aligns with the previously marked midpoint. These measurements will determine the size and shape of your wig cap.

Connecting the Measurements

Now, it's time to connect all the marked points. Create a circular line, following the shape of the head and connecting the front hairline-marked cap with the side to side measurements. It doesn't have to be perfect at this stage; we're just getting a general outline.

Sewing the Crochet Cap

Take your crochet cap and sew it onto the mesh dome cap along the perimeter line. Use a needle and thread to secure them together. This will ensure that the cap stays in place for the crochet process. Additionally, you can reinforce the middle area with a cross-shaped stitch, providing extra stability.

Adding Extra Security

To further strengthen the unit, you can use a sewing machine to create an even more secure anchor. Go over the perimeter stitch and reinforce it with a zigzag stitch. This step will prevent any unwanted lifting or loosening.

Attaching the Crochet Hair

Now, we're ready to attach the crochet hair. Choose your preferred textured crochet hair that blends well with your natural hair. This type of hair typically provides great curl definition and volume with less hair needed. Work your way around the perimeter, attaching the hair in small sections approximately an inch apart. Remember, the closer the sections, the more hair you'll have to cut later.

Final Touches and Styling

Once you've completed attaching the hair, take some time to style and shape your unit. Use pins to secure it in place and adjust the fit if necessary. If desired, you can use a lighter to seal the edges of the hair for added security. Take this opportunity to appreciate the fullness and volume of the hair. You'll be amazed at how natural and stunning it looks!

Using Hair Growth Products

Remember, wearing protective styles like this unit shouldn't neglect hair care. Applying a hair growth oil like Heavenly Dresses Growth Oil will provide nourishment and stimulate your scalp for healthy hair growth. Massage the oil into your scalp regularly, especially when wearing protective styles.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you've successfully created your very own detachable crown unit using the crochet method! Enjoy the versatility and confidence that comes with a customized wig. Don't forget to have fun with styling and keep up with proper hair care to maintain the health of your natural hair. Rock your new look and embrace your beauty!
