I'd love to see an in-depth video on how to make the foundation. We learn a different method in school but I would love to make another one using this method.
silkesilke100 can’t be giving away all my secrets for free 😂😂😂 there are many different ways to make a foundation 😊😊😊 watch this space you never know as I may just do one ☝️
Hello, thank you for your video's I really love them. Often I see a PU rubber kind of material on the edge of a wig or hairpiece. Do you know this product and where I can buy this. Will you make a video of how to aply this. Lots of love from Amsterdam.
Sylvia Bruens you can apply many materials inside the wig to stop slip or cover rough edges or the PU patches usually go where toupee tape is stuck to prevent it damaging knots. thewigdepartment.com is a great place to get everything from
@@WAMStudio No, it looks like a pen you’re using to stitch the whole thing together. I hope I’m explaining it correctly uggg. 😩 I wish I could screen shot and circle what I’m trying to say.
May I ask you witch foundation material is best to use for the main body, nape and the front around hairline? I want to make my first full lace wig and I want to make sure I use the right foundation as there's so many of them. It's important to me that it's strong and wig won't break everytime I wash and blow dry it. And the front around hairline is important to me to be as natural looking possible. What do you suggest? Thank you!
Mantas Siauciunas I use terylene net for the main body and 40 denier for front but the front is for theatre. Finer net is advisable for street wear although it’s not as strong. 20 denier is fine but not hard wearing but will disappear into forehead 😊
This is a great video, very helpful thanks. I would just like to check, when you are folding your seams are you folding onto the top of the foundation or do you tuck underneath? It’s quite hard to tell as its s fast.
I've never heard of a cotton line...is it a border? Does it keep the lace from distorting? My introduction to wigmaking was over the phone, from a friend, who was a wigmaker from San Francisco Opera, but eventually wound up at the Met. Since l had no points, he suggested staples..."put the lace on the block, and pull the shit out of it!"! That was almost forty years ago!
The cotton line is just to mark out the front hairline if you are sending it out to a knotter/ ventilator. No need for it if you are knotting yourself on the block. Staple gun? That sounds scary but if it works for you and the wig looks fabulous then why not.
Mike Love it is all down to preference. It’s just a style of Wig foundation. Any foundation made as long as it fits right is good. I would say this style is a finer finish than some 😊
Gemma Allen bulk knot? I do single hairs around the edge then pull more hair through per holes as I work up. Singles every hole on edge, then 2 hairs and then 3/4 and space out more as I go up. Hope that makes sense 😊
mamborena hey don’t worry it depends on Head shape and size. No darts on this one but others I do still need darts so it’s all good you aren’t doing anything wrong 😊
thanks. because I am working with an extremely curved stuffed block right now so that is likely the issue. I'm still coming to your studio when I travel to the UK.
mamborena well sounds like you are recognising the problem so you are on your way. Try padding another block but watch for a nice curved head shape 😊 when you get to the UK you would be most welcome
Thank you. This is very informative. I just keep watching it over an over to make sure I haven't missed anything.
ashley b glad to be of service and thanks for the feedback xxx
@@WAMStudioI agree with her.
@@JennaHasm appreciate it 🥰

Wow , and that’s the “ easy” part , I would not have the patience for this job. But someone’s gotta do it .

Hi, I just found your channel. Thank you for your inspiring work! I love it ❤️
Rienus Van Biene thank you so much for your kind words 😃
I’m just discovering your channel. What is that black & gold thing you’re using on the lace?
I think you are referring to the circumference ribbon. I use it to mark out the circumference and when padding it helps to not stretch out the wrap.
@@WAMStudio No, it looks like a pen you’re using to stitch the whole thing together. I hope I’m explaining it correctly uggg. 😩 I wish I could screen shot and circle what I’m trying to say.
That’s my ventilating needle. What you use for knotting wigs and sewing the foundations together
Oohhhh ok that what I was talking about LOL😂Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️🕊

Dani Duffy hey thanks for watching. I fold it under. Think it’s called a run and fell seam in dress making apparently 😊
That’s amazing! Thank you!

Are you using ventilating needle to sew it together?
uldron I sure am 😊
Does the tensión band design give a snugger fit?
Mike Love it is all down to preference. It’s just a style of Wig foundation. Any foundation made as long as it fits right is good. I would say this style is a finer finish than some 😊
this was very helpful! Quick question, if you are using a lace nape would you still bulk knot on this section?
Gemma Allen bulk knot? I do single hairs around the edge then pull more hair through per holes as I work up. Singles every hole on edge, then 2 hairs and then 3/4 and space out more as I go up. Hope that makes sense 😊
How long did it actually take to make this foundation? Good work!
Janine Croft a foundation takes me between 6-7 hours and thanks 🙏
@@WAMStudio Amazing!
How long did this wig take to make ?
Kunal Bhatt I make the full lace foundation in 6-7 hours. That’s pretty industry standard. Thanks for the contact
@@WAMStudio ok thank you... How long does it take you to make the full lace wig until complete ?
@@Kun.b the knotting takes about a working week. 45-56 hours depending on size and type
@@WAMStudio ok understood... Thank you !
May I know this is hard type lace for the wig foundation? Thank you
hugger1ify it is terylene swiss lace for the main body and 40 denier flesh front Swiss lace on front section 😊
@@WAMStudio thank you, love your tutorial.
your tension band section/area is nice and flat. I'm ending up with way too much excess which would require darting unlike yours. Grrrr.
mamborena hey don’t worry it depends on Head shape and size. No darts on this one but others I do still need darts so it’s all good you aren’t doing anything wrong 😊

Alot Of Wasted Lace
Well done for being frugal with your lace. I should take a leaf out of your book 😃
