Don't jump on the magnifying lamp band wagon just yet. some of the great ones can be very expensive and for my personal experience with the magnifying lamp, it just got in my way because when you ventilate, you are suppose to always ventilate going "forward" so that the hair lays properly and my hand kept on bumping the dog-on mag-lamp....it just got in my way.
Some helpful hints 1. Get 3x reading glasses instead. 2. Make sure you are in a well lit room
3. Make sure your chair, table, wig holder are set up like you are positioned to do an oil painting, meaning the area that you are about to ventilate is at least torsoe-length or higher from where you are sitting (believe me it makes a difference on your back).

Hey I want to jump on the ventilating band wagon too. I have to get a magnifying lamp first.
I bought bulk human hair from the bss in the same color and texture as the unit I'm repairing.

Be careful and check in direct sunlight. What looks like a dead on match inside may look jacked up when you style or "activate" the hair if its curly. The last thing you want is to spend 70 hours tying a wig only to have the textures/colors be off. Trust me I know. Even a little is noticeable outside. HTH
they have the glasses with the lights on the side-I think i saw them on amazon.com if you lose your ventilating needle, i heard you can take a regular one and snap it where the hole is with a pair of dykes or pliers and use it. the styrofoam head are 2 bucks at sallys
what I wanna know is where can I get the lace and hair for making a wig??? even though it looks tedious, I really wanna see if I can do it!
