- Do not apply moisturiser prior to bald cap application
- Do not use any pins/grips in the hair
- You are aiming to create the smoothest/roundest possible
- Some bald caps will be specifically made to fit a model's head
- Any straight edges can be seen on camera much easier than curved/wobbly ones
- They cannot go on anyone that has a weave
The Application:
- Remove any make-up from the model, ensuring the edges of the head are clean
- Spray the hair with water and brush through
- Put a strong hair gel through all of the hair
- Keep brushing to ensure that it is as smooth as possible
- (If short-ish hair) wrap all of the hair to one side and scrape as flat to the skull as possible
- (If longer hair) split the hair into 2 and wrap the hair round the opposite sides of the head, keeping it as flat to the skull as possible
- Get the model to hold the front of the cap, whilst you carefully pull it over the rest of the head
- Check that all the hair is pushed back (using a pintail comb), and use soap to get rid of any baby hairs on the face
- Cut the bald cap very carefully to fit the model, starting at the ears
- Get the model to stretch forward when cutting around the back of the neck
- Peel back the front of the cap and apply spirit gum to both the cap, and the model's forehead
- Wait for it to go tacky before sticking it back down
- Use a damp puff/towel, press the cap down onto the model's skin
- Use acetone to help melt the edges away
- You can now begin to colour. Using the supra colours, mix white and red to create a baby pink. Using a sponge, dab this across the whole head. This will cancel out the hair colour underneath the cap.
- Using the ultra foundation palette, use a sponge once again and dab all over the head.
- Apply translucent powder to the head
- Add any additional touches, such as flicking the alcohol palette colours onto the head to create freckles, or making veins using the supracolor palette
