How to Make Wig Closures

Thread a needle with strong thread and tie a knot in the end. Beginning at one end, run the needle and thread back and forth through the rolled section of hair several times until you reach the other end to secure the hair. Tie off and trim the end of the thread using scissors.

Place a glob of glue onto the threaded section of hair. Hold the glue against a hot iron for a few seconds to create a seal for your hair closure.

5
Spread out the hair so the roll of hair is in the middle, with hair spreading out in all directions. Use an iron or flat iron to flatten the center of the hair closure so there won't be a large bump when you add it to your wig.

6
Glue the hair closure onto the wig cap to top off the wig. Style the wig to create the look you want.

Tips & Warnings
Use a thread that closely matches the hair color of your wig for best results.
Avoid holding hot irons on hair tracks too long to keep from burning the hair.
