Day 9- Ventilating-Do's and Don'ts

So here is another day of ventilating, which is something I had never wanted to began, but since I am getting more into wearing wigs, and purchasing some for women with hair loss I decided to learn this process. I can't even began to add up the amount of money I have spent on training, and the number of hours on YouTube and on the internet seeking training. As I stated in another one of my post, I am still learning and doing this at least 2-3 times a week in between working in my salon.

I have only been practicing about a week in a half, and here are my suggestions if you want to began making wigs.

• Seek training that is affordable
• Begin practicing before  your training 
• Began ventilating with synthetic hair
• Began ventilating with Tulle or black weave net from Joanne fabric and beauty supply
• Have plenty of light
• Purchase a magnifying lamp and mirror
• Pillow for your back
• Purchase things a little bit at a time
• Blog about your journey and take photos of your progress
• Eventually do YouTube videos if you are promoting a brand or service

and last........
BE PATIEN.........THIS IS NOT EASY.

So I began ventilating with black net, then I graduated to tulle and finally a small piece of lace. I am still having the following issues:

• Tension
• Looping hair
• Single knot with one hair, which is the easiest to do
• Loosing excess hair
• Being able to see the holes

Here is progress this far:

My parting I still need to work on:

Pinning is not correct

"DON'T"

The photo above shows a semi-finished part, but the pinning is not correct. When pinning is not correct, the lace is easier to tear and you can't apply correct tension to make knot.

Will split my days up 6 hours a day, 3 hours ventilating and 3 hours learning sewing machine!!

Thanks for reading my blog, see you later this week...share your tip below!!
