Since the key to the success of a
hairpiece is its fit, the base must correspond to the man's head, contour,
shape, and original hairline recession. Making a transparent tape
template of the head which can be seen through and drawn upon is an
ideal way to develop a pattern for the base to make the proper hairpiece.
TEMPLATE OF
THE HEAD
- Place an 18-inch square of clear plastic wrap so
that it covers the top portion of the head, down over the ear, twist ends and
hold tight.
- After pressing the wrap close to the head, use tape
to contour the head shape.
- Beginning at the forehead, place transparent tape on
the wrap over what will become the outer perimeters of the
transparent tape template pattern.

 |
- The areas of baldness determine these outer
perimeters.
- After you have taped the boundaries, cover the inner
portion of the plastic wrap with overlapping pieces of tape.
- Apply 3 - 4 layers of tape.
- The tape will lock the plastic wrap into a permanent
transparent tape template.

Using a Sharpie permanent marker, draw pattern lines on the
transparent tape template while it is still on your head. Though
requirements vary from man to man, some rules of thumb apply to most. Front
hairline should usually be established by placing 3 or 4 of your fingers
(depending on your age) above the brow line. Lines are drawn from that point to
form a
hairpiece template pattern,
which covers the bald area. Deeper recessions look most natural.
 |
After the entire outer
perimeter of the
hairpiece template
pattern is drawn, the desired style should be indicated.
If a part is desired, draw a line from a pivot point
at back crown to the front hairline. Placement of the pivot point should
correspond to what can be seen of your original growth.

|
| Indicate the probable
growth pattern on the
transparent tape template, the date the
transparent tape template is made, as well as other pertinent
information concerning your hairpiece. After you have finished marking the
transparent tape template, add one more layer of tape (now 4) to
cover and seal in the markings. Since the average life of a hairpiece is 12 to
18 months, good record keeping is advisable to keep the hair piece current.
Remove the
transparent tape template
from your head and trim the excess plastic wrap off around edges. |

Build a mans wig hair color:
Use a sample from the crown or back of the clients head and Scotch tape around
the end of sample(s). Please write down what part of the head your sample is
coming from. If your sides are more Grey, clip a sample. Be sure to identify
this for sides only. Grey hair is offered in synthetic or Yak.
Build a mans wig density:
Extra Light density is 60% thickness of an average head of hair. Light density
is 80% thickness of an average head of hair. Light to Medium Density is
considered 90% thickness of an average head of hair. Medium Density is
considered 100% thickness of an average head of hair (This is considered
normal). Medium to Heavy Density is considered 120% thickness of an average head
of hair (This is thick). Heavy Density is 150% thickness of an average head of
hair (This is very very thick).
