    i have a really weird question but dosent any one know any thing about bald caps,
    i would really want to get one - long story
    but would want a really convincing one but i cant seem to find a lot of info on the internet.
    most of them are only for one use and have to be cut after wards and these are normally the really good looking ones, which are tailored to fit you head but i cant imagine how expensive that would be, i also cant seem to find any info on the products needed to go with it as well such as special glue and a chemical which is meant to disolve the edges of the cap to make it look more real.
    any help would be apreciated thank you

    so ive had to do this for halloween before but the best way is to get some liquid latex. its a little expensive and its a 2 part process and youll need a friend. first your gonna have to vaseline your hair, all of it. and you should prolly get a hair net or a reallly tight bandana, then once you have that on close your eyes and have your friend pore the latex on. it takes about 45-50 mins to dry. try and get it as smooth as possible bc its a pain to smooth out yourself. then simply pop it off and examine for defects and use a very very fine(1500 grit or more) sandpaper to smooth it out. then if you have an airbrush paint as normal or if youd rather you can tint the latex with rit(available at any grocery or local drugstore) dye ( i used pink and black to achieve a palish color but it all depends on your skin tone)(if using black start one drop at a time). Putting back on is as simple as a hat, you can use spirit gum and paint thinner to blend in as your looking for. also that face putty stuff works decently on the blending. hope that helps some. and for google searches try using the terms halloween makeup bald.
