"Like" this comment if you are watching this in 2018 because you are sick of buying lace front wigs, need that custom hairline, and it's THE BEST video you have come across so far...THANKS Ricky!
This is by far the BEST ventilating tutorial I've seen. Everyone is too fast and they don't explain their steps. Thank you so much. Now, I can go forth and conquer!!
Ricky you are simply A.MA.ZING. By far the BEST ventilating video here on youtube. Very clear, concise, and expertly explained. A million and one thank you's!!!!!!!
I watched this video over and over again until I plucked the courage to try ventilating. This video single handedly taught me how to ventilate.Thank you Ricky xx
Well Ricky,, THANK YOU! I've seen quite a few videos of people ventilating, and I just couldn't catch the concept until I watched this one here!!! THIS IS THEE VIDEO FOR VENTILATING NEWBIES LIKE ME!! Your demonstrating using a "beginner type lace/netting" ,made out to be the best example for me, along with explaining that "wrap around" step very clearly right before pulling thru the loop. Can't wait to go purchase a #4 , So, Hey once again I cant say Thank You enough Take Care!
Wow, I just got this as a suggested video and I really think that this was so interesting and incredibly well done. I am not sure I would have ever thought much about this before, but darned if I am not interested now. What a fantastic teacher and demonstrator you are. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Excellent. Your instructions are clear and precise. You make it look so easy. Though in reality I hope it's as easy as it looks. I'll definitely be practising. Thank you for sharing.
Mr.Greenwell Thank-you, I prescription spectacles and I haven't had them in a while so being able to actually see step by step was wonderful without wearing my spectacles. And I would most definitely recommend you to other people to watch and learn from.
You are awesome , I have been ventalating for about a year . I want you to know that I have had to learn everything the hard way and how to get compfortable while im in the middle of the proccess. I just want to thank you ,and I could never tell you how you showing me the double knot has changed my world in making wigs and not having them shed. Really I can't thank you enough...... Oh B.T.W. you really are a hot bear. Hugs and Tugs Patrick
awesome dude, thanks so much for this video. i could never understand the process of ventilating. now thanks to you i can finally make my lace frontal.....thanks a million.
Brionna George Thank you sooooo much for this video there are so many videos on how to ventilate, but none of them actually explain the technique!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!🤗
I had to comment on this to say thankyou so much! I'm studying special effects makeup and hair, and having started my wig making classes I just could not get ventilating and found it so difficult, I've been sitting at home practicing getting so ridiculously frustrated. Your video made it so simple and I've finally got it and my knots are working! Thankyou!
now it all seems so easy! Thanks so much for this video, I couldn't find anything like this anywhere and I've been searching for days! NEW CAREER HERE I COME! lol
I actually think I'll be able to do this...yep, in the near future I plan on making a lace wig just to protect my natural hair and just have fun! Thank you for this tutorial!
Thank you, really really thank you for this video. I´ve been looking for diferents ventilation's videos and this is the first one wich its VERY clear and make me understand what I need. Again, thank you :D !
Honestly!! I ve only gotten to 3:24 'the materials' section and I'm sooo excited about this...I feel so informed already!!! OMg OMG (so sorry but I'm excited) I already know Im going to Micheals, Joans or whatever store I can tomorrow to get my hands on these items...okay I need to finish watching...but seriously THANKS in advance for your tutorial!
the video is great and very informing. Thanks for slow-mo in doing the process very helpful[ the first i saw]. How many packs of hair does it take to make a full lace wig? What kind of lace net did you use? cost? and where to find it? Plez response back soon as possible :)
Thank you for this video. I am having the same problem as Samantha Reed above. But I am determine to get through. Sometimes it works for me but others it does not. That's cos' I am confused with how you rotate the needle for making the knots. I hope to get through this. Don't want to give up. Thanks for your video.
Where can we buy or how can we make a men’s full lace toupee? I’m only able to find full caps, and I’ve found sheets of lace, but they are completely flat. Also LOVE LOVE LOVE this tutorial!
Chris I don't work with Toupee's sad to say I do theatrical wigs so I am often doing full wigs. And yes the lace is flat and you would have to shape it. www.hisandher.com/search.phtml?sp=wig+base this is were I get a lot of my remade wig bases from.
I used this party to help me create a straight hair front for a curly wig. She has a widows peak and pulls her hair back to a headband, then has tight curls. It turned out really well!
You have an awesome Video and it’s the best one I have found but I’m still confused I can get the needle and the hair through the hole but after that I can’t seem to twist it and I’m not not sure what I’m doing wrong
Wow...thank you so much for passing this information along. I was getting frustrated looking at other vids where I only saw the finished product, had to hear about someone's hairloss, or buy their stupid dvd. Many, many thanks.
Just find your channel, and I love it. A question for you, probably the same question everyone is asking. Where do you buy the lace from? That's seem to be a world secret. Could you tell me what company sell the different lace? Thanks for your Vid's
This is the best video I've seen, you explain exactly how to do the knots. Where do you find the lace base ? I live in europe in Italy, Thanks in advance.
@ILoveToScrub you have to rotate you holder and needle a bit to get it under the lace. It takes practice but once you get the rotate down that will make life easier.
Hi Ricky so I'm having an issue working with swiss lace. I have the Asian needle and for some reason I can not get the needle through the lace to save my life...your so good at what you do so can you give some type of pointer that might help me...please and thank you so much! Your video is awesome by the way!!!
Ricky Greenwell , I'm having a problem with the swiss lace because im guessing its because the holes are so small. So, I insert the needle in the hole of the lace...and when I go to grab the hair on the needle it picks up the hair that it wants. I go to pull the needle back through the hole with the hair on it...and the hair falls off needle and its super difficult to even pull the needle back through the hole...I don't know how to fix this problem...I practice and on that lace because i figured that the swiss lace is the best lace for frontal and it makes the hairline look so natural...what are your thoughts...please I really need your help...should I try another lace or stick with this pain in my butt lace? Lol
I love your video Ricky! I'm starting out with synthetic hair too and it is really hard to work with but it's cheap and I can get a lot of it. Your video shows the process the best I think of all the ones on TH-cam, thank you! But I'm having trouble with the last part when I pull the hair through the loop, the rest of the hair I'm holding in my left hand will bunch up and separate! Then I loose speed having to flatten, and loop the hair again. Am I holding the hair wrong or too tight?
Great video, thank you! For double knotting, does that just make the piece stronger? And for a full lace wig, what direction would you have the hair grow in for a free part piece?
the Single vs Double is a preference most people use a single but a double can be more secure. so it is often used in the crown of a wig. I hold the loop of the hair at the end I want a little of the root end sticking up in the wig.
Jaye L when I loop the hair I hold the cut blunt end of the hair that is the end getting knotted. I only hold enough of a loop to knot. You need to find what feels right for you I have a fairly small loop.
Hi am erika from Houston, I love ur class. I will like to learn how to make hair pieces for my client with hair lose. After u finish with ur hair piece how u attach it to the customer hair? What do u use, glue, elastic, what is the process ? What is the process from the beginning to the end. Please help me, need more information in how to do the pieces and where I can buy the supply. Please help. Thanks
Hi Ricky! Thank you SO much for this video! I just have a question about ventilating (or how to ventilate) a skin cap on a human hair wig. I pulled out a lot of the hair in a detangling session and now I need to repair it. I thought if I somehow thread the hair in a tiny needle and pulled it through the holds and then glued it down underneath. I don't know any other way...LOL. PLEASE PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
Hi there. thank you for replying to my recent question. I am using 1pc Ventilating needle 1-2):length: 12mm. easy hook 1-2strands hair per time; (use for Skin,Toupee & Lace net); 1pc Ventilating needle 2-3):Length 18mm. easy hook 2-3 strands hair per time;(use for Lace net etc.) Am i using the wrong needles of is it just that im not doing it properly? Pls help!
How long do you make the returns if ventilating virgin remy hair? Do you cut them back after ventilation so they do not tangle with the main hair? I am having problems understanding this as none of my wig making books say anything about cutting them back, but other people say that if you don't the hair will matt at the root especially when it is washed.
someone give this man a medal for having the camera focused, and not racing through the knot process. others,, please take note.

Great video! Where can I get large pieces of crown lace from?
Simple easy video lots of knowledge just gained thank you so much!

this is great can you show us how to do all the other types of knots
You have an awesome Video and it’s the best one I have found but I’m still confused I can get the needle and the hair through the hole but after that I can’t seem to twist it and I’m not not sure what I’m doing wrong
I am looping the hair back I hold about an inch of hair just enough to create a loop but not enough to create a long tail back on itself.
Thanks! What should I do with the tail end of the hair I ventilate? I snipped it close to the knot and it feels spikey
It will feel spiked but one you get enough hair it will all be fine it fills out the piece.
The best video on this I've seen.
very nice I was wondering where did where did she get the hook from and the fabric
wow that's was nice like it's amazing easy to learn
Wow...thank you so much for passing this information along. I was getting frustrated looking at other vids where I only saw the finished product, had to hear about someone's hairloss, or buy their stupid dvd. Many, many thanks.
AWESOME video. Thank you for sharing this with the youtube community. I am definitely going to try this.

I’m trying to figure out how to make a pull through topper. Do you think you would ever show how to make one?
This is the best video I've seen, you explain exactly how to do the knots. Where do you find the lace base ? I live in europe in Italy, Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much for sharing this and not trying to sell a class!
@ILoveToScrub you have to rotate you holder and needle a bit to get it under the lace. It takes practice but once you get the rotate down that will make life easier.
Im expanding the wig division of my business, the video is very helpful
do have videos on making wigs like really detailing parts and edges that would be great learning your technique . thanks for your response
Hi there! Where exactly do you get your needles/hooks and holders as well as the wig head blocks??
Thank you....I finally can see how it's done✋🏽❤
Hi Ricky so I'm having an issue working with swiss lace. I have the Asian needle and for some reason I can not get the needle through the lace to save my life...your so good at what you do so can you give some type of pointer that might help me...please and thank you so much!

Are you having trouble entering the lace or pulling the needle out after you have made a tie or the process of tying.

Great video, thank you! For double knotting, does that just make the piece stronger? And for a full lace wig, what direction would you have the hair grow in for a free part piece?
Thank you very much. I hope to start as soon as possible my first lace.
Would you suggest weft hair for repairing a mens hair replacement system that is just too thin currently?
Thankyou for the insight Ricky
the Single vs Double is a preference most people use a single but a double can be more secure. so it is often used in the crown of a wig. I hold the loop of the hair at the end I want a little of the root end sticking up in the wig.
great video..
Where do you get the lace from?
De mao Brothers or alcone is where i get mine.

murielle672 Any dodnde link are all materials
In the portion of hair that you hold between your forefinger and thumb, at what point in the hair shafts do you make that loop?
thank you! what kind of lace is that?
When you make your loop to hold in your fingers do you loop near where the hair was cut from the weft or in the middle of the strands?
Jaye L when I loop the hair I hold the cut blunt end of the hair that is the end getting knotted. I only hold enough of a loop to knot. You need to find what feels right for you I have a fairly small loop.
AWESOME... what's the name of the NY company again?

Hi there. thank you for replying to my recent question. I am using 1pc Ventilating needle 1-2):length: 12mm. easy hook 1-2strands hair per time; (use for Skin,Toupee & Lace net);
1pc Ventilating needle 2-3):Length 18mm. easy hook 2-3 strands hair per time;(use for Lace net etc.)
Am i using the wrong needles of is it just that im not doing it properly?
Pls help!
how do you make the hook not catch on the lace when you are pulling it through after you have caught the hair on it?
thanks
I'm a beginner and I bought lace from the fabric store and the hook is ripping the lace, where do I purchase the lace
@rickyg439 how does the hair stay on the needle.does it have a tiny curve right on the tip to pull the hair?
how many hairs are you want in. Different people have different preference I think I I use a 4 o 6 often.
How long do you make the returns if ventilating virgin remy hair? Do you cut them back after ventilation so they do not tangle with the main hair? I am having problems understanding this as none of my wig making books say anything about cutting them back, but other people say that if you don't the hair will matt at the root especially when it is washed.
@niaZomba needles try De Meo brother in NJ they are great not sure about swill lace I use lace from them and love what I get
