What Hair Do You Need for a Wig Making Class? A Complete Supply Guide
One of the most common questions from students before their first wig making class is about supplies — specifically hair. What type? How many bundles? What lace? Do you provide it or do I bring my own?
This post answers all of it — both for the Yoli Opulence Atlanta class specifically, and as a general guide for anyone buying hair and supplies for wig making beyond class.

Buying Hair for Wig Making After Class
Once you're making wigs on your own, here's what to look for when purchasing hair:
Raw Hair
Collected from a single donor, unprocessed, cuticle intact and aligned. Lasts the longest, colors and styles the best, highest cost per bundle. Vietnamese and Burmese are the most popular raw textures for wig making.
Typical bundle count for a full wig: 3–4 bundles + 1 lace closure or frontal
Virgin Hair
Unprocessed, from a single donor, but may be from multiple donors and is often slightly more processed than raw. Great quality at a lower price point. Ideal for clients who want quality hair without paying raw prices.
Typical bundle count: 3–4 bundles + closure
