Making a full cap custom template is the best way to get a well-fitted and proper full cap human hair wig, as the factory can use it to create a mold of the head, ensuring that the full cap human hair wig perfectly fits the size, shape, and contour of your customer’s head, which will make them feel more secure and comfortable in the system.
Tools
To make a full cap human hair wig template, you will need plastic kitchen wrap, a marker, transparent tape, clear packing tape that is around 5 centimeters wide, scissors, a mirror, water, and paper towels.
Step 1: Dampen the head with water to prevent the plastic wrap from sliding around. Then, lay a large piece of plastic wrap over the scalp and center it. Make sure you press it firmly and evenly and ensure that it is airtight, with no gaps or bumps. Be careful not to stretch it, as this will cause it to shrink when it’s removed. Also, make sure that the plastic wrap covers all of the areas you need to cover with the full cap wig but allow some extra for buffer.
Step 2: Secure the plastic wrap by tying the ends under the chin, and make sure the plastic wrap is laying smooth, with as few wrinkles as possible. However, to keep it flat around the ear, you will need to cut a small slit in the plastic below the top edge of the ear before carefully releasing the ear from the plastic wrap. Then, cut away the excess. Tuck the remaining plastic wrap behind the ear and tape it in place.
Step 3: Trace the area you would like the full cap human hair wig to cover by drawing a line that is thin and visible with the marker. Try to make the line as accurate as possible.
Step 4: Using the tape, start taping at the back and move from the bottom up until you reach the crown. Make sure the template is completely covered with tape, or it won’t be useable. After you finish applying the first layer of tape, apply a second layer of tape vertically until it fully covers the first layer.
Step 5: Apply the tape over the head from side to side until the front area is fully covered. When you are finished taping from side to side, begin applying the second layer of tape vertically from the front to the back until the entire area is covered.
Step 6: Starting from the back, apply the packing tape from side to side only, covering the entire area and making it as smooth as possible. When you complete this step, you’ve got the template for your client's full cap human hair wig.
