Creating the half wig base


 The process of creating this base was fairly simple. This was due to the fact that the 56cm circumference of the head for the first time fitted on a 56cm block, without the hairline being slightly smaller or larger than the main head circumference. Also the padding needed was minimal, with just a slight bit needed in the centre of the block where the bulk of hair sat. This didn't take long before I was ready to apply lace onto the wig.

 The caul net was relatively large for this template, allowing stretch over the head for the half wig, which is obviously smaller than a perfect fitting full wig.

 The foundation section of the wig also needed to be longer than the standard cuts we have at uni, due to the circumference of the models head and width of the foundation without lace. This meant there were a lot of darts including two large darts in the back of the caul net. I wasn't happy with these and tried to split these into 4 smaller darts located at the top and bottom of the net, however was unable to do so due to the direction of the netting and darts.
