Bald Cap


First you start by slicking the hair with gel. We used Got2b glued ultra.

then you put the cap over the head and draw the areas that need to be trimmed away.

Trim those areas.

Now... You can use spirit gum, however, we chose to use prosthetic adhesive for the sake of our model. Both Spirit Gum and Prosthetic adhesive work the same, however, P.H. is water soluble and can wash off in the shower.

Apply to neck

always pull DOWN and FORWARD

Trim away any extra overlay

Then take Latex and build a seam up around the edges. Remember to stipple the latex. Do this by TEARING a sponge in two.

After Latex has dried, powder off. Be generous with the powder.

Now for the castor oil. Now according to Dana Nye you can you a specialty oil, however, it is more costly. We used run of the mill castor oil that we got at Walgreens.

after oil is applied to the entire bald cap and latex ridge, wipe off access oil.

Powder off again.

Now....ADD COLOR! Remember to stipple again.


After you have coated the cap with a flesh color...you need to add any age spots or hair lines. Dana Nye used the Bald Cap FX wheel. We did not have one so we used character shadow and highlight

the finished product! Not bad!

Thanks to Estee Parker, Javier Ybarra, and Jensen Nicholle Astle . You guys were an awesome team!
