"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
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.
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!
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!
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!!!!!🤗
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.
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.
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 !
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
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
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
@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.
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.
WOW, this is a good ventilating video. When you loop the hair in one hand, is the hair longer on one side? From what i understand from your video I DONT want to use the wrong end of the hair for the knot. I would think having one end shorter would make the hair look super think at the root and thin toward the bottom.
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.
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.
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 :)
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
Omg THANKKKKK YOUUUUU... SO MUCH IM ABOUT TO MAKE SOME MONEY NOW... I GOTTA KEEP PRACTICING... IM GLAD I DIDNT GIVE UP... THANK YOU SO MUCH... HUGS & kisses to u... @pharaohsangel
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
The two knots are all you will need to tie a wig and truly a single knot is all the need the double knot is only used by some. My advice on supplies would be to buy a start set or sample I am not going to say it is easy. I have many students that get frustrated with the process it is very time consuming.

someone give this man a medal for having the camera focused, and not racing through the knot process. others,, please take note.

AWESOME video. Thank you for sharing this with the youtube community. I am definitely going to try this.

Alcone and De Meo Brothers are two great sources for lace and needles
The best I've seen thus far
Thank you very much. I hope to start as soon as possible my first lace.
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.
Yes finally someone that take their time to show the lace part yay
I always like to watch this video. So informative and a joy to watch. May I ask where I can purchase a similar hook holder?
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!
