• Wig caps: Choose breathable mesh wig caps for sewing (ideal for human hair wigs) or stretchy synthetic wig caps (lightweight for budget sewn wigs).

• Hair strands/wefts: Opt for 100% Remy human hair bundles for sewn wigs (no tangles, long-lasting) or heat-resistant synthetic hair wefts for affordable sewn wigs.

• Tools: Wig-making curved needles for sewn wigs (easier to maneuver), nylon thread (matching hair color), a wig head stand, sharp scissors, and a wide-tooth comb.

1. Stretch the wig cap over a wig head stand (mimics a human scalp) and secure it with pins—this keeps the cap stable while sewing.

2. For sewn lace front wigs, attach a thin lace strip (6–8 inches wide) along the cap’s front edge using small, even stitches—this creates a natural hairline later.

3. Reinforce the cap’s nape and temple areas with double-thread stitching—these spots bear the most tension, critical for long-wear sewn wigs that stay in place.

• Hand-sewing single strands (premium wigs): Thread the curved needle with nylon thread and knot the end. Take 5–8 strands of human hair and sew them into the cap in a circular pattern (start at the crown, work outward). Space stitches 0.5 inches apart to avoid sparse spots—this creates natural-volume hand-sewn human hair wigs.

• Sewing hair wefts (beginner/bulk wigs): For affordable sewn wigs for beginners, align pre-cut hair wefts with the cap’s nape and sew along the weft’s edge. Layer wefts upward, leaving 1–2 inches between layers for fullness—ideal for machine-sewn synthetic wigs for daily use (our factory uses this method for bulk orders).

1. Cut the hair to length: For short bob sewn wigs, trim evenly around the head; for long curly hand-sewn wigs, leave extra length (curls shrink 10–15%).

2. Add layers (optional): Hold hair at a 45° angle and snip—layers add movement to voluminous sewn wigs for special occasions.

3. Refine the hairline: For lace front styles, trim excess lace (leave 0.2 inches) and pluck 2–3 strands along the edge to mimic “baby hair”—key for realistic hairline sewn lace front wigs.

• Sew adjustable elastic straps at the cap’s nape—these let users customize fit, perfect for one-size-fits-most sewn wigs.

• Attach 2–3 wig combs for non-slip sewn wigs inside the cap (temples/nape)—prevents slipping during workouts or parties.

• For human hair sewn wigs, apply a light coat of hypoallergenic wig serum (from www.wigsvana.com) to the ends—reduces frizz and extends the wig’s life.

• Tug gently on sewn hair—no strands/wefts should come loose (our factory requires 3+ stitches per attachment point).

• Check for even hair distribution—no dense or sparse patches, critical for natural-looking sewn wigs.

• Test fit on the wig stand: The cap should lie flat (no bumps) and the style should hold—ensures durable sewn wigs that last 6+ months.
