Brave New World: Applying Bald Caps



Technique:
1) Wet the hair - completely
2) Gel hair and flatten onto head (long hair spilt in half and wrap around head - not onto face)
3) Use brush and comb to flatten hair as much as possible
4) Ask model to hold front of bald cap
5) Pull over head - use mirror to keep in center and even
6) Cut to shape of face etc (Do not stretch) - cut off in small sections
7) Spirit gum edges down
8) Colour with face or build upon



After applying the bald cap, I experimented with application of fullers earth on top and coloured spray, I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected I would and now am very willing to consider it as part of my final looks as I am confident I would be able to apply it well enough. The great thing about bald caps is you can build and stick stuff to it, creating a more abstract body modification inspired piece.
