Hey there! I was just wondering how many Weft's you bought in total? Two doesn't seem right for the number of foam pieces... Unless I'm a bit confused? haha. I'm going to be taking on this tutorial soon to build a wig like this for my boyfriend, so any help is much appreciated!

I bought one package of "Long Extensions" from Arda wigs :)
Their Long Extentions measure 35" long on a strand measuring 5 feet long. If you are not buying extensions/wefts from Arda, I highly suggest you consider how long the strand of wefts are that you will be purchasing.

Example: I was recently looking into getting wefts from Epic Cosplay for something with their 30" extensions and I had to e-mail them about how long the strand is that they are on (because that information wasn't provided in the item description) and they told me the strand is 30" as well, so they were 30" x 30" for the same price as the Arda Long Extensions which measure 35" x 5' - MUCH better deal and I ended up using ALL of the extensions, nothing left and it JUST covered everything.

So just keep the measurements in mind. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you soo much for the help! With this info and your tutorial, we managed to make a wig! It's got some flaws for a first time, but it came out awesome! You can see it here, [link] or in a couple days it'll be up here in my gallery!

Again, thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial.
