Details and close-ups of wigs
|
The most important part of a wig is the lace. That is
what everything else is built on. Here is a close-up shot
of it. It is often very thin but comes in several
different thicknesses and colours.
|
Something equally important that you will never see is the
ventilating needle. With this small hook I tie each and
every hair to the lace. |
All of the following pictures are close-ups of various parts
of the wigs. I have published these so you can see how the
stock wigs have been made. |
This is a close-up of a custom hairline on the stock wig. As
you can see the lace front is very thin but it might still
be too thick for film work. For film work is a special
order wig better. |

inside and out on a wig block |
The hair that has been used to make these human hair wigs is
40 cm / 16". The length of the finished wig might be
slightly shorter. |
Yet another picture of the same thing. Here you can
clearly see how much grey that is in the wig. It might seem
that it is very spotted but this is a great help when making
hairstyle on it. If it is done like this you can control how
and when the grey is visible. If the colours are evenly mixed
it is more likely to look like a wig. |
Same thing on a blonde wig. You can see how thin it is
everywhere. It is possible to put a parting more or less
everywhere on the wig. You might have to have a wig cap
underneath to simulate skin. |
To make a wig like this takes at least 40 hours. So it
can test your patience sometimes! |
