This Guy’s Self-Made Lace-Front Wigs for Men Are Going Viral

His secret?” I think the fact that I’ve been a visual artist for years has helped me develop an eye for detail. I’m constantly watching (aka stalking) people in the subway or on the street, studying their hairlines or the swirls on the top of their heads,” he told Allure in an email. “The wigs I make are generally light density, which helps the hair move and behave naturally, and I’m constantly trying new ideas and techniques to improve the end result.

Sometimes, it can take more than 120 hours to complete a unit.

Edwards tells us that all of this started years ago.” As a kid, I was always ‘in disguise,’ whether that meant putting on a mask or gluing crepe hair to my face to make a fake mustache. I had a few cheap wigs, but I was always disappointed because I could never make them look like real hair.

Things changed when he moved to Montreal and was inspired by a string of nearby wig stores. Edwards was amazed by the lacy wigs in the stores and began researching wig-making methods on YouTube until he perfected his craft. Edwards’ background isn’t even in wigs “Until recently, I was making a living as a painter (artist). However, the changing economy and other factors have made this career increasingly difficult, so I am in the process of moving into making wigs full time. I will still continue to paint as time permits.”
