PART 1 - Ventilating with German needle - single knots, double knots, double split knots 

...amen

Thanks for your kind words, this is the reason I keep making these videos. I learn and share my knowledge and learn with the people like you together. Numerous times people that watch my videos give me an idea for a video or answer a question I have as well or struggle to do. I got attacked by some wig makers in the previous months cause I give knowledge that they try to sell, but in my opinion nobody can steal your wig making work cause it is the labor you put into it that sells not the knowledge, unless people want to sell DvDs to teach ventilation etc which in my opinion is ridiculous!

Your most welcome!! And don't mind those other wig makers! i'm sure they even watched your videos and learned many things they didn't know already! Your efforts into these videos are really appreciated, thank you for sharing your knowledge unlike those other selfish wig makers haha! Have a wonderful day! :)

Super Wig Maker | I know I'm late, but when you tie the hair on.. is it possible to use other things like your fingers, or a different needle? or we just use that needle to sew it in?

Thanks friend, this is the reason people like me will never enter the industry of wig making cause I am a perfectionist and my work needs like so many more hours than what the commercial wig makers need to finish a unit. I can make a lace-front in like 1 day but I never make lace-fronts, I can make a full lace wig in 1 week if the back is so crudely done, but I want to make everything in good definition. So maybe I could work for films and truly high definition units if the money was high. I would will to work 10 hours per day if I was going to get paid 5.000 $ for a perfect piece :P

You're not too far off - making a truly high-definition wig can net you quite a large sum for sure. Your work is gorgeous, so don't totally dismiss the idea of doing it for money. The best way to approach it is to do it for love and for the perfection of the art and craft. When you do exquisite work (and it it seems that you've got what it takes for that), it is the client that comes to you and not the other way 'round. In the meantime, do it for your love of it and the pursuit of perfection. It will feed your soul, and that's most important. If you ever decide to do it for money, never forget how much you love it.

OnStageOff Being paid for something you love is the key actually. I am a man so I don't really wear wigs to change my style (living in Greece is one more reason). But also I have a head full of hair so I don't "need" a piece like some people do. So I will make some more HD pieces but since they are not used by me or someone else it just takes away the will to make more. Being well paid for your labour of love is what can move things, it is not the money or the amount but the knowledge that someone is admitting your talent and they give you justice for your work by paying for it and making good use of it. Maybe one day I make a piece for a movie, that would be a life goal :D

Hahahaha yesss

Super Wig Maker I can now see the hook that grabs the hair. The needles I ordered don’t seem to have that as I have bought them from AliExpress 🤦🏾‍♀️🤬 the needles keep getting caught and ripping the lace

Samantha P. Hey girl, for the asian needles I can show you the banbury and postiche site has them but also the amazing hair store.www.amazinghairstore.com/For lace, I think banbury and postiche has more options than amazing hair store. In th first site you get to choose the denier, denier 20 is the finest they have, it is like swiss lace but it is strong enough for its quality.On amazing hair store you can get french equivalent lace in dark brown, brown, and beige which is prefer!~~~~~~~~~~It is easy for you to find which side the lace frays, I can tell you the side that has the faces of the hexagons is fraying, while the side that has the tips of the hexagon's doesn't fray.But go ahead and go to the edge of the lace and slightly pull it, then pull the next side at 90 degrees, one side should fray the other shouldn't. Because not all laces have the same weaving pattern.

You are welcome girl

A full lace unit still depends on how detailed I make it, I could make one in like 2 weeks if I made the top high definition and the back less definition. A full high definition unit would take like a month of like 8~10 hours per day. Most wig makers just do the hairline in high definition, the top part is in less definition but high enough not to be too chunky and the back is just chunky to save time. Of course time is always a personal thing, the faster you ventilate, the better so if you get skilled it could take you even less to make a unit! I am just NEVER committed time-wise to work on a unit and finish it on time, I can only estimate it by the hours it takes me to finish one.

***** Hey glad you found my channel :D Γεια σου από την Ελλάδα

+AJoi B It can be frustrating I know. It needs patience and you should have it if you knit and paint. I no longer do refurbishes though.

oh :-(

I can make a small update on this with a huge hook just to show you.

The website sadly is closed, do you have another website for German needle supplies? Efharisto =)

To be honest I don't remember the size I used, but the size matters only when you are going to ventilate a huge area and you want the needle to automatically pick the amount of strands you want per knot. So if you want to ventilate single strand per knot you better work with size 0 or size 1. The needle needs to be the size you planned to use for every specific area.

swiss lace for delicate look, asian alce for strength.

Follow my videos, most things you need to know about technique are here.

Hey you wanna do double knots in the back and lower parts of the unit, double knots are more secure but are way too visible, so you want to avoid them on the top of the unit where you usually part the hair and definitely not the hairline! Also double knots are better to do when you knot many strands per knot cause the more hair you put into a knot the less tight the knot is thus shedding can be a problem! Split knots are good when you want to add fuzzy volume, like the crown area, it will be kinda permanently lifted and even if you brush the hair and blow dry it to stay flat, eventually the natural bounciness will come back! It is because hair is not ventilated in one direction so it has a natural mess and a lift. Single knots, in the parting area and the hairline for sure. Mostly when you do one strand per knot or two strands per knot. ~~~~~ If you seal the knots with some permanent sealant, you can do the whole unit single knotted to save time, permanently sealing the knots will prevent it from unraveling and thus no shedding!

Lace, I sell some asian lace on my site. But for this specific video i used hard tulle, which is not recommended for wigs. It was just for demonstration. www.superwigmaker.com
