As promised, here is the process I used to make the hairline for :iconex-shadow: 's Zack Fair wig :3

Though I've done lots of cheating with wefts/excess fibers and glue before, I'd like to thank :iconxhee-heex: for inspiring the idea to do this with hairlines. She made a quicky tutorial a long time ago, but she took it down before I was able to use it as reference. I don't remember if hers was the exact same process, but please check out her gallery and her amazing wigs! :3

Great tutorial but I'm a little confused with how you place the hair on the fabric and I cant quite tell in the photos. Do you just glue the wefts flush with the original hairline or do you have the wefts going up over the original hair line and merging into the wig?

I wanted to thank you for this tutorial! I used it for my Saix wig! However, instead of fabric I used felt, and instead of tacky glue I used hot glue and clear elmers glue along with some spiking gel. It is fabulous, and now my wig looks great! [link]
Thank you! c: No more wig cap!
