Wig Upcycling—Elevate Your Style!

-

 




Do you have an old wig that’s no longer being worn and want to give it a new life? I can transform your old wigs into stunning ponytails or extensions! I offer wig upcycling services for those who want to repurpose their unused wigs.


I recently transformed a WannaBe-LH Remy Mango wig into two gorgeous ponytails:

  • The original wig weighed 4.6 oz (131 g), and after deconstructing it, I carefully separated the wefts. The wefts varied in length, with longer strands from the top to the upper middle and shorter strands from the lower middle to the nape. I divided them into short wefts and long wefts to create two distinct ponytails.

  • Short Ponytail: Made with 1.8 oz (51 g) of short wefts, perfect for a chic, everyday look.

  • Long Ponytail: Crafted from 1.7 oz (48 g) of long wefts, ideal for adding drama and length to your style.

Each piece features a lace base for a natural fit and double-sided velcro tape for easy attachment. While I prefer working with new wefts, I’m happy to help you breathe new life into your old wigs if they’re in good condition.


What Kind of Wigs Can Be Upcycled?
I can work with:

  • Blunt wigs

  • Lace front wigs

  • Partial lace wigs

Unfortunately, full hand-tied wigs aren’t suitable because they don’t have wefts. If you’re unsure whether your wig can be repurposed, feel free to ask!

Problem solved - Topper made from a full wig

  When my client A brought her mother to me, she was searching for a solution to her mother's extremely thin hair. She hoped for something made of human hair, as her mother didn’t want to wear a full wig. I explained the pros and cons of human hair versus synthetic options and let her try on a synthetic wig that was almost an exact match to her natural hair color and texture. To make it work for her, I folded the back of the wig, allowing her own hair to blend beautifully with the wig’s hair. They loved the concept and left excited about the possibilities. Just a week later, her custom topper was ready. Her mother loved it so much that they immediately ordered a second one in the same design!   Original Wig: Tony of Beverly Lily, color #Ginger Brown x
