Items needed: A wig stand, hair weave, weaving glue, scissors, stocking cap, blowdrier.

Instructions

Step 1: First, place 2 pieces of paper towel under the stocking cap to catch any glue that might seep through (for step 4)

Step 2: Place the stocking cap on the wig stand.

Step 3: Pick up the hair tracks and place it on the stocking cap to judge how much to cut.

Step 4: Once you make your decision, take your scissors and cut the track.

Step 5: Take your glue and put it on the back of the track then promptly place about one inch from the bottom of the stocking cap. (Don't overdo the glue).

Step 6: Immediately use your blowdrier to help the glue dry faster.

Step 7: Repeat steps 2 - 5 for the rest of the rows and let completely dry.

Notes

• A Stocking Cap Weave is a technique where hair weave is glued to the stocking cap. I'm not sure about the professional way since I've never seen one being created, but this works great! I only made one and I doubt I will make another, I'd rather buy a wig.

• Depending on the type of weave you buy, this could be a cheaper alternative to buying a wig. The following directions is the way I create my stocking cap weave

• To make the stocking cap, take a pair of new or clean pantyhose. Cut the legs off (leave about 3 inches).

• Tie the excess (the 3 inches) into a knot then cut the excess off. I begin by leaving one inch around the frontal hairline exposed.

• I use hair clamps to keep the stocking cap weave in place then place a scarf over it. Works like a charm!

• (It may take a couple tries to figure where to line up the rows, so don't buy expensive hair for your first trial.)
