TEMPLATES FOR WIGS

Step 1

The first step to build a wig is to stretch 'Saran Wrap' plastic wrap over the head of the client for the lace front wig template. Twisting at the sides and having the client hold it down firmly. Second run clear, see through, 'Packing Tape' strips from front to back and from side to side - overlapping to form a lace front wig template. Four layers are usually enough. Next using a permanent marker, draw the exact outline of the lace front wig template, the size you want, including front recession lines, part placement (if any), hair direction, exactly as you want them on the finished hairpiece. Now remove the lace front wig template from the clients head and cut off excess tape around edges.

Place a sheet of Saran wrap, plastic wrap or similar material over the head coming down
almost to the shoulders. Twist the ends so the plastic forms to the contour of the head.

	Step 2	Ask the client to hold the twisted ends while you cover the entire area to be marked With strips of 3m clear tape. Attach the tape from front to back and side to side, four layers total. Lap the strips to create a firm shell. How to Make A WIG Template Pattern: Man's Templates for Wigs: Using a Sharpie permanent marker, draw pattern lines on the taped lace front wig template while it is still on your head. Though requirements vary from member to member, some rules of thumb apply to most. Front hair line should usually be established by placing 3 or 4 of your fingers (depending of your age) about the brow line. Lines are drawn from that point to form a pattern, which covers the bald area. Deeper recessions look most natural.
	Start marking on the mold in front (Approx. 3 fingered above the brow will establish the natural hairline), Use a black marker. Out line the bald area at the hairline around perimeter. If attachment to the good hair is desired then the line must be drawn into the good hair 1/2 inch. Indicates part, if any. Using arrows, show hair direction (combed forward or back, etc.) hair direction, particularly in front, is important to have the hairpiece conform to the clients styling desire. Put (F) in front, (B) in back, (L) on left side, & (R) on right side. How to Make A Wig Template Pattern: Woman's Templates for Wigs: Side measurement is done like men's above. However, front to back is different. Because women typically thin in front but don't recede like men do, it is wise to use the natural bang and add hair behind it. (Some men may choose to do this technique also). Start your measurement about 1 inch behind natural front hair line, going over the top to back as far as it needs to cover the thin area.	Step 3

Remove the mold from client head and trim excess material. The resulting template will be exactly duplicated in the custom hairpiece base de-sign. Please mark clients name on mold. Build a 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 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).
