Wig arrived - no net just the wefts!

[emmyk89]

Hey guys ordered a wig and it came today i was going to make a dread wig with it by attaching already made dreads to the net and also using the hair on it. However ive had a look at it and it doesnt have a net , its basically just the wefts attached to strips of elastic. Only the top is netted. Here is a pic:



So im not really sure on how i would attach the already made dreads to it.... Can anyone give me any tips on how i would do this?
Also how will i section the hair to be backcombed without the wig..bunching (if thats the word) would using a max of 2 wefts per dread section be ok? i.e grabbing hair from 2 wefts per section (if you understand what i mean!)

Thansk guys

I've made dread wigs that were like that underneath, but I make my dreads like SEs directly onto the wefts. I imagine you could sew pre-made dreads onto them, but I could be wrong since I've never tried it that way.

Ahh right yeh i see how that would work, thanks

I have made alot of DE's you see so i was just thinking i could maybe fold the dread over the wefts and then use a few clear rubber bands at the top of it to hold it in place.. maybe?

Yeah, I could totally see that working But I would only attach it to one weft at a time, because if you squish the wefts together, you're going to make your wig smaller and you won't be able to wear it. I found that out the hard way once after spending a billion hours on a wig and then finding out it was useless because it was super tiny

oh no thats a shame! ill keep my eyes on that then What about actually dreading together bits of more than one weft, if i make sure its like.. not tight and pulling the wefts together?
