Bald Head Caps

If you can only get a polystyrene head then you should consider preparing it for use. You can make bald caps using the head as is, but eventually the soft surface of the head will start to break down and lumps will get pulled out of it. Crafted from durable latex, our professional grade bald caps provide a seamless and realistic appearance when applied correctly. The latex material mimics the texture and appearance of skin, ensuring a natural and believable result. If you are looking for a stunning transformation for a cosplay event or other character purposes, our latex bald caps are the perfect foundation for your look. Delamar, Penny (2002).

If the latex begins to dry out you will see it lifting the latex you have already laid down, keep the latex on the sponge wet to avoid this happening. Once the entire area of the cap has a thin even coat, leave it to dry for a couple of hours. You can try to wash the sponge out under running water, but I don't bother, I just discard the cube and use a new one for each coat. This is where having an extra set of hands and eyes is important, since you’ll need some small, sharp scissors to cut a slit for your ear to come through. Start by cutting a line straight up so that you can pull your ear through and then trim it bit by bit until the bald cap lies flat but still covers your hair.
