Bald Cap Application

Even though I didn't use a Bald Cap I thought it would be handy to make an application process for it.

Step by Step: Prep

1. Start by removing any make up from your model's face - this will help when it comes to the edges of the bald cap.
2. Next you will need to spray the model's hair with wet and make sure to brush it through in to remove any tangles and that the hair is smooth.
3. Using a hair gel generously spread this through the hair - this will help with manipulating the hair.
4. Depending on the hair length - if the model's hair is short wrap the hair to the side and make sure it is as flat as possible. If the model's hair is long split the hair into two sections and wrap in opposite sides of the head and again make sure it is as flat as possible.

Step by Step: Application

1. When applying the Bald cap get you model to hold the front of the cap while you pull the back of the cap over the hair.
2. Using a pin tail comb push any hair poking out from the edges
3. Once the cap is placed on the model's head and you are happy pull the edges and start to cut away the excess - start at the ear.
4. Once you are happy with the edges apply spirit gum to both the cap and the model's skin.
5. Wait for the spirit to gum to go tacky
6. Using a damp flannel press the bald cap down and use acetone to blend the edges.

Step by Step: Make Up

1. Using your supra colour palette mix pink and white and stipple this on to the bald cap - this colour mixture will help to cancel out the hair colour.
2. Once you've cover the cap with white and pink mixture use the foundation palette and using the appropriate shade stipple this on top.
3. Apply a translucent powder to lock in the colour.
4. For additional detail use flicking motions using the alcohol activated colour palette to create freckles or veins on the head.
