+Portable Konfidence I usually don't make it in full high definition single strand single knot, I can make it like this but the price is going to be sky rocket, it is all about the time it takes that affects the money, For example if one unit takes as much time as three units to be made because it is in full high definition, then the price is going to be like three units! I give options to my customers and their prices, if they are willing to pay an HD piece, then I'll make it
Ok so maybe I'm a little slow. I understood the video in terms of the spacing and still having the same density.... So with the example you gave, all four sections would be 100% density even though there is more space in between each knot because you're still using 100 stands? And if so, if I wanted it to be 80% I would have to ventilate only 80 stands of hair per square unit? And say I wanted it to be 120% I would add 20 more strands of hair?.... I hope I don't sound stupid. Again this is using 100 stands of hair per square unit? Also I understand that the number doubles because of the return hair. So technically 100 stands equates to 200 strands.
Very educational - I enjoyed your attention to detail however I wanted to mention you said that the human hair follicle only has one hair per follicle but that is actually not true. Each hair follicle has 1-4 hairs in it and usually the ones around the hairline have only one hair and the ones in the back of the head by the occipital bone have 3 and 4 hairs. Also a one hair follicle hair is always a softer finer hair. Just wanted to mention it, thanks for the video.
+Jeanine Acca The truth is that some hair roots are so closely grouped with others that the hair might come out of very close (or rarely the same) skin pore. They are like flower roots they might sprout more than one bodies of flowers. Even when they are more grouped they still lack a knot which is even roe obvious in the wig with many strands per knot and also they totally come out of the same spot unlike the grouped human hair that are at least separated by a fraction of a millimeter. Also in wig making the minimum amount of hair per knot is one, but that actually created two strands coming out of the knot since the hair is folded as I explained in the video. We are trying to emulate the quality as good as possible :P
Love all your videos, so informative and inspiring !!!! I have a question, where do you get your lace from? I’ve been searching everywhere and can’t find it.
Thanks so much for sharing your information in details. You are very generous! I would like to make one for myself using my daughter’s hairs (I loss a lot of my hairs during the cancer treatment). Do you have the instruction for making a cap and how to frame a cap to “something” before starting to ventilate? Again, your information is greatly appreciated.
Thank you girl, this is something that only a skilled person would notice so the average wig maker would have a problem finding out the mistake in the density. I am just too picky when I make things so I figured this out early!
When you see wigs stating 180% and 250% density is that an accurate representation of the density of the wig? I would expect 250% to be very thick but many say sometimes it is thinner than the 180%.
hi I wanted a thick density but your saying if you put too much hair its looks fake. when I first got my topper from uniwigs it was 180%. but when I went to order a new topper from them at 150% it didn't have much hair so I sent it back for refund. And I decided to make my own. I really like your video. I have bought nearly all the things that I need to make my own. but I was hoping to make a thick density top piece and then sow some rows around after it was the silk top is made like the common wig. I just wanted to make it like the first one I received.
09:08 - You have answered a question - a thing that has always bugged me. When I see hair venting I always see one hair coming from the knot. To me, that didn't make sense. Because if you are tying a knot in something you end up with two ends. I asked another person on here what does he do with the second hair strand of the knot, an he says he cuts it off. So here I see you have two hairs from the knot.
+Ryan Torks Cutting it too short can create problems, I have another video on how to make the hair returns look natural without scrambling the base. The only way to totally have it invisible is with a silk top where you pull the hair tail on the normal side of the silk fabric while you keep the lace, the knot and the short return to the in side of the unit hidden from the view of outside.
I always worry if not enough amount if the density , will show the under cap after wearing . Especially the crown zone ; cowlick / swirl and the hairline . Super wigmaker, do you have any suggestions ?
+Allison alleyne Well when I make a 100% density (medium normal density)I usually put 2 holes and leave one whole blank but that is with normal thickness strands, if the hair is too fine I will ventilate all holes, if the hair is too thick I might do half the holes. So make the math, 1 holes ventilated 2 holes left vacant, it should make a 50% density, if you want to be safer you can do 1 hole ventilated, 1 hole vacant and then 1 hole ventilated and 2 holes vacant and so on. But it also has to do with what lace you use, usually the lace that I have has like 9 holes per cm, that also matters.
Wow thank you for responding!! Very informative , im using Swiss Lace but i have to do the measurements of the holes. I love your videos im working on my speed because I want to sell realistic closures. Which lace do you recommend for more transparency but durable, I heard you mention Denier 30 ?
For a 14 inch long wig, what density should I use to make it look like your low density wigs thar look super realistic.. should I do like 80 percent density? I want to be able to part it easily an have it be thinner an straighter an less bulky to where it can easily be put behind my ears without bulk an put in high ponytail with ease an have the parting space wider to where I can part it anywhere an do pigtails..I don't care if it's thin, I don't want it thick an bulky n wiggish looking so an I agree with you 💯 % the thicker the density the wig looks very fake an not realistic.. so I'd love your opinion on your lower density wigs, which density you use.. 80% or lower 60%? Thanks hope to here from you soon Super wig maker
Hello from Germany :) I've seen all your videos, I find you super. I can english only with translator. I want to make a wig from European Virgin hair and I need your help. What should I do ? 100 % density, any direction. 100% density is natural density?Thanks in advance
Hello! My name us barbara, am from Costa Rica and I order a wig of 22" with 250%. I know this should be a very thick wig or at least that is what I had on my mind . The type of hair I requested was a body wave, can you please help me out to figured out if I got scamed?
Wow! Thanks this is very helpful...I was wondering about the density. You are the best!! How did you learn all this? Do you teach classes on wig making?
Hello, I learned everything by myself, I am only someone who does good researches and shares his findings with people that need it. I don't do classes cause whatever is needed to know you can ask me here and I will explain you with a youtube video.
Très intéressant, dommage que je ne puisse pas avoir la traduction en français. Très beau travail et j’aimerai essayer, malheureusement, je n’ai pas tout compris
Back and lower sides of wigs where the hair will never be parted = 4 strand or more can do. Top of the wig 2 strand or 1 strand, 2 for speed, 1 for the extra HD results. Hairline (and maybe the neckline) 1 strand always for about 2cm ( alittle less than 1 inch)
i dont think theirs a "correct density" its the preference the person wants tbh....i like light weight and super natural hair so i get 130 with curly hair and 150 with straight hair
hi wig maker, im thinking of doing a course in wig making in the UK... which institution would you recommend. i want to start wig making and quit my current job coz i just wont have the time to do both. but i am gonna need a lot of help...do you perhaps do mentoring on this topic as well?

Hello super wig maker, can I use a white lace if I don't have access to the brown or nude ones?if yes how can I tint afterwards? And I tried using a particular hair and I couldn't pass it through the lace cos it was too soft and slippery, what would you advice? I've gone through your videos and I must say You are VERY good at it. Thumbs up
+cynthia pratt box braided large lace front? I don't think I understand this sentence. what is box braided? and the "large" means the wig cap is big or you mean lots of hair o it looks large or something?
Wow ❤ 9 years ago. And this is helping me sooo much! Thankoo so so much! Now i understands density so much! I am new to ventilation❤ wig making.
it seems very time consuming to make a wig strand by strand like you do, but this is an amazing video and very informative!

Watching this in 2019....your video is very informative. I've learned so much just watching only this video. Thanks...
Watching this in 2020 very informative and helpful thanks a lot
Just found your videos and they are so informative. Hoping to get into wig making soon and this explains it perfectly!
Happy to help you new wig maker!

Omg I Luv your work and sorry to hear about your family .
Thank you so much for all your details!!!! It makes sense.
can you make a video showing like a chart that marks off how many strands to do in a section?

excellent visual description of density!
Thank you girl, this is something that only a skilled person would notice so the average wig maker would have a problem finding out the mistake in the density.
I am just too picky when I make things so I figured this out early!
when making a box braid what is the best technic and spacing to use
Can you show how to make a natural looking hairline? How to layer not spaces to get the most realistic hairline?
For more volume of hair should I use more strands of hair and should I single or double knot
what is you prefer for a hair density or what is the best hair density
You was very clear...Thank you

hi 👋 . does the ventilating needle need to have a little curve to it ?

So how many hole is left behind for a good density

Super Wig Maker Thanks for your valued help. It's very much appreciated, Sir!
so density is the thickness of your hair
good video. thank you, that was very informative.
I always worry if not enough amount if the density , will show the under cap after wearing . Especially the crown zone ; cowlick / swirl and the hairline . Super wigmaker, do you have any suggestions ?
Thank you you saved me
What kind of tool is that that you are using?
hi how many holes do i skip for 50-60 density for a 4x4 closure?
+Allison alleyne Well when I make a 100% density (medium normal density)I usually put 2 holes and leave one whole blank but that is with normal thickness strands, if the hair is too fine I will ventilate all holes, if the hair is too thick I might do half the holes.

does density have anything to do with the thickness of the hair?
Where can I buy loose human hair for wig making?
Très intéressant, dommage que je ne puisse pas avoir la traduction en français. Très beau travail et j’aimerai essayer, malheureusement, je n’ai pas tout compris
Which of these 4 would you suggest for a frontal that wig be two strand twisted for the most natural looking hair line and parting?
Back and lower sides of wigs where the hair will never be parted = 4 strand or more can do.
Top of the wig 2 strand or 1 strand, 2 for speed, 1 for the extra HD results.
Hairline (and maybe the neckline) 1 strand always for about 2cm ( alittle less than 1 inch)
What i do is look at the wigs I buy and take tips from that 🤷🏾♀️makes it so much easier
Thank you 🙏
