Wow your videos are actually amazing!! I've practically watched them all and I've learned so much already! Your demonstrations are so clear and informative, plus lool I've laughed a few times because of your comments! Please keep making the video's if you like doing them, your really helping a lot of people. I think I've bagged myself a new hobbie! Thanks a lot!! :)
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?
This remains hands down the best tutorial on the subject out there. No endless unnecessary chatter, no music or flashy lights. Pure content. Thank you! We miss you.
This is the video I have been looking for! All other videos on the subject are filmed so far away from the knots being created and they do them so fast it is impossible to fathom out what is going on! Really appreciate you making this 👍👍👍
Man - you are fantastic! I used to do this for a living for film/TV and got so tired of crazy clients asking for fully ventilated pieces with impossible deadlines. Sure, the money was great, but the stress of it was impossible to deal with. So now, I do it for a hobby only - and will help performers/artists out w/wigmaking or facial hair pieces when I choose. It's more fun that way and I enjoy it a whole lot more. Keep it up, man - you do beautiful, highly professional quality work!
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
Thank you sweetheart, and the double knots give my nerves as well too. I gave up on them, even the tightest double knots are not worthy for me, they are too big and hideous for me to use them! Glad you enjoyed the video :D
Wow! Finally a video that I can really follow honey!!!! Thank you so much for actually taking your time to show the beginners exactly what to do.... This video is the best!!!!😘😘😘
I love your work.....I'm learning by watching your vids. You actually relieved my stress with the "single strand-double knot" technique......so hilarious! Thank you.
You are truly gifted. I know I need to be practicing but it is so interesting watching you, I can barely take my eyes off the screen. This is so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.
I freaking love your sense of humor. those double knots you were having problems with,,, try not to tighten the first know and then move to the second and see if that helps you. it helps me. Hugs and tugs
Oh my god, I'm so frustrated.. I'm trying so hard to get the technique down (even for single knots) and it's driving me crazy, I want to quit but I'm not going to 🤦♀️ I want to fling the whole lot at the wall 🤣😭
1.5 knot makes the two returns go in different directions and thus making the area more puffy and have volume. Also with less hair you get "more" coverage. If you have human hair and thus have inevitable short returns this will give the look of back-combed hair without back combing that much. The 1.5 non split is the opposite, you take the loop with the needle, at first you grab one return and then both, so one of the return is knotted twice while one only once, they both lay in same direction
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
Super Wig Maker I would like to know super wig man do you train licensed hair stylist is there a possibility you can do a class in person would you please let me know thank you
just watching you do the double I wonder if you keep the loop small then when you go to make the double on the pull through it will be tight and perfect? I hope I explained that right so when I try I know exactly what to do to get it right .
I absolutely love your videos, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. I have been making u-part wigs for the simple fact that when I tried ventilating, I absolutely couldn't make it work (I had a straight needle which was awful) and I wonder if you can tell me a good place to buy Chinese ventilating needles and handles, also the best transparent "fishing line" lace and where to get it. Lastly, can you make, or link me to, a video on how position the lace on the head so the front unfinished edge doesn't unravel? Thanks again you are AWESOME!!
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.
I also ventilate in 90 degrees. The hair actually can go any direction they want along the axis of the nylon part they are ventilated so 90 degrees an change depending whether you want volume or a flat top and the way you brush hair. Another thing for tiny knots is the base, if the base has small or big holes but the netting itself is thick (like the thread used to make the netting is thick) then the knots won't be as tight and they can unravel easier.
This is the best ventilating video I've ever seen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some hair wigs I order are very difficult to style. They either are too SPIKEY or just too FLAT and wont style - even with gel. Someone said this is because of the ventilation method used. Can you tell me which is the best method for getting the hair to style exactly the way you want?
I am in AWE! you are AWESOME and I greatly appreciate you being so giving with your knowledge. I'm a DYI girl myself and you've shed so much light! You may have answered this but, typically how long does it take you to complete a full unit?
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.
Is there anyway you can show how you ventilate using a bigger needle and much much slower? I can't figure out how you twist and loop to get your knots. My wigs need to be repair and I would like to do this myself. Thanks for all your help.
Hey Super Wig Maker - great videos! Thanks for doing them. I have never seen the 1.5 split knot done until now. I'm really intrigued with that knot. What is the purpose of that knot? Seems that it gives a smaller knot and softer look w/hair laying in different directions? Would love to know. Also, I'm interested in seeing the 1.5 non-split knot. Hope to see a vid of that one soon. You are amazing and thanks for the vids and your craftsmanship!
Omg great job! I have the opposite problem.. I can't do single knots... but I can do the double.. (lol) And with the split knot, try to do split+single knot instead of single knot+split. I think they gonna look better. When I do split knot (I don't really use this technic) the hair and the return go in the opposite way and I think that will make more tangles... dont know.
how long did this take? did you do this to sew on a wig that is not a lace front wig to make a lace front wig?what kind of lace did you use to? and is that real hair or synthetic hair?
I am currently using this method to make a lace wig. My needle keeps catching on the lace when I am trying to knot it. DO you have any tips on how to remedy this?
Yes I make them but they loose, don't shed but loose. I think is because they need to be ventilated in a exact direction. I normally ventilate 90º for a more free parting (I really don't know if this works but is how I do). When I receive the lenses I will do a video too.
Thanks, I really like when people enjoy my videos. It takes much time and effort to make it happen and trying to show what I want and work in a small area is difficult. I don't know if I would have the patience to re-make all these videos if by chance they were deleted :D So lets all be glad they are here cause they can't be redone!
I used a permanent marker to make the net this colour. I did this to make it easily seen in the white background cause the original colour is almost ivory white. You can remove the colour by using a solution that dissolves the specific marker (I am not sure what substance dissolves this permanent marker though) Knot sealer is something like a glue, but it is not very thick, it is rather like water in look and it doesn't leave too much trace behind it. Something like super glue. Glued knots
Hello, Thank you very much for your videos. I just suscribed. I share your passion from Paris in France. Can i know what you did to your lace to have it red like that ? Can you remove the color easily after ? When you speak about a knot sealer, what are you talking about ? A chemical ? Thank you again. It would be a pleasure to speak wig making with you.
this is as great demonstration. Seems like as long as the knots are not on the perimeter of the wig. you can do the multiple strand technique and it won't be noticeable.
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.
Even if I keep it small and try to pull the hair from inside it still won't happen for me. I am doing something wrong obviously. But I quit trying to learn how to double knot with a needle. The only reason I would ever double knot is with a latch hook. I never use double knots in the end. I might as well use "inverted" 1.5 knots which is like the split knot without the split effect. In the 1.5 knot you can pull one part to fasten it and you get the tightest knot possible.
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!
I seen your comment on the pope admitting to the Armenian Genocide and I was curious what entails in making wigs. I have to wow ,impressive a lot of patience . Yassou from America . I also am Greek
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
Christvan Carinan (th-cam.com/users/TheJolee01) I cannot reply to your comment you have it disabled. Get this link and you can have what you need from needles and a holder! www.amazinghairstore.com/servlet/the-27/front-lace-wigs-clips/Detail
Well I already show the 1.5 split knot here, but there is another version of the 1.5 knot without it being split. I should make a video on this one to differentiate the two knots. I think the 1.5 knot that is not split is better than the double knot both because the knot is rather smaller but also because the 1.5 knot has the amazing ability of the single knot to be tightened, but also the amazing ability of the double knot to be very tight and not get lose in time. I'll try to make it
You can't make single knots? I am sure you mean that you make them but for a strange reason they don't stay tight and unravel. Maybe you should use a little water in the looped area and the knots will come much tighter.
I have taken numerous advices, I'll try to make it again, and when I manage to make double knots I'll make a video on what I did wrong. For now I can only double knots with the latch hook much faster!
Thank you!! New subbie here! You make this look so easy, I think I found me a new hobby :) I'm about to sub with all 5 of my accounts just to show my thanks and appreciation lol
If anyone having a hard time tip it is like crocheting I would say try a bigger net cuz that is super small n i would have a issue with that too i think a crochet needle smallest one a be helpful for me gd luck everyone
Sitting there for hours doing this I can't imagine how happy you are when it is done and you can finally get ur money

great video, very clear showing everything
You are very talented but a comedian as well.. I'm going to learn these techniques and fix my own full lace wigs..
Hi! Thanks for this video! What is the number of the german needle? Is it of Fishbach Miller?
Is there anyway you can show how you ventilate using a bigger needle and much much slower? I can't figure out how you twist and loop to get your knots. My wigs need to be repair and I would like to do this myself. Thanks for all your help.
I can make a small update on this with a huge hook just to show you.
In the future,will you be doing a video showing how to do a 1.5 knot, from what you have said it seems interesting.
Really good insructions thanks for posting
it is normal to lock both abuja me ? I can hardly pull out a hair and knot . (It is my first time)...
D hair falls off d needle anytime I have to pull it out of d lace… have tried severally.. wat culd b d problem
Do you use a magnifying glass in order to see the small
holes in the lace?
What type of hair do you use and how long does it take??
Hey Super Wig Maker - great videos! Thanks for doing them. I have never seen the 1.5 split knot done until now. I'm really intrigued with that knot. What is the purpose of that knot?

In your opinion which needle is easier to use... German or Chinese ?
Hi! First of all, thanks for your videos! I have a question... when do you use the double and double split knot? Thank you!!!
Omg great job! I have the opposite problem.. I can't do single knots... but I can do the double.. (lol) And with the split knot, try to do split+single knot instead of single knot+split. I think they gonna look better. When I do split knot (I don't really use this technic) the hair and the return go in the opposite way and I think that will make more tangles... dont know.

Uhm hello ??
Im here at the Philippines
What kind of shop that selling VENTILATING NEEDLES??
what type of lace is this?
Where can I purchase this lace from or what type or lace was used in this video?
What is the name of that tool with which you attach your hair???!
I used a permanent marker to make the net this colour. I did this to make it easily seen in the white background cause the original colour is almost ivory white.
You can remove the colour by using a solution that dissolves the specific marker (I am not sure what substance dissolves this permanent marker though)
Knot sealer is something like a glue, but it is not very thick, it is rather like water in look and it doesn't leave too much trace behind it. Something like super glue. Glued knots
Hi.. Your amazing.. And your video are great... I'm new and I'm making a tophair for me 😁.. Should I dye the hair before or after.. Thx a lot 😍

this is as great demonstration. Seems like as long as the knots are not on the perimeter of the wig. you can do the multiple strand technique and it won't be noticeable.

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.
What kind of lace is best for ventilating and where do I get it?
swiss lace for delicate look, asian alce for strength.
Hello, could you give me the name of the device you are using please
i love your work
Even if I keep it small and try to pull the hair from inside it still won't happen for me. I am doing something wrong obviously. But I quit trying to learn how to double knot with a needle.
The only reason I would ever double knot is with a latch hook.
I never use double knots in the end. I might as well use "inverted" 1.5 knots which is like the split knot without the split effect. In the 1.5 knot you can pull one part to fasten it and you get the tightest knot possible.
Yes, voluminous and in opposite direction.
I'll also try that way and probably make a video about it
when do you know when to use a single or double knot or spit knot
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!

I love your persomality
I giggled so hard when you accidentally made the ugly knot and then pretended it didn't happen LOL
perfect video!!!
Well I already show the 1.5 split knot here, but there is another version of the 1.5 knot without it being split.
I should make a video on this one to differentiate the two knots. I think the 1.5 knot that is not split is better than the double knot both because the knot is rather smaller but also because the 1.5 knot has the amazing ability of the single knot to be tightened, but also the amazing ability of the double knot to be very tight and not get lose in time.
I'll try to make it
Muito obrigada por nós ensinar Deus te abençoe sempre sou parana Brasil
I am in awe of about that you holidays, give you the course? If so I am interested .well has know I live in france and you?
I am Greek honey and I do this for hobby only.
we're can I get the latch hook middle.
You can't make single knots? I am sure you mean that you make them but for a strange reason they don't stay tight and unravel.
Maybe you should use a little water in the looped area and the knots will come much tighter.
I have taken numerous advices, I'll try to make it again, and when I manage to make double knots I'll make a video on what I did wrong. For now I can only double knots with the latch hook much faster!
what's the name of the tool that you use it
its a ventilating needle
I am almost done making the same video but with the latch hook. Behold and you will see the speed and easiness of making knots with it
