Ventilating - Ventilating is the hooking of hair thru the lace to tie a knot. Along the edges the ideal is to hook one hair every few holes to simulate a natural hairline.

Wig Base - This is the lace base of a hand made wig. I wrapped the actors head in plastic and tape then drew their hairline on the tape to get an exact replica. I then took the tracing and placed it on a wig block, taped it down and built the lace base. I then sewed the seams to keep the pieces together.

Wig in curlers and ready for the dryer - The wig is styled after many conversations with director, costume designer and actor about time period, character and what the wig will say about and enhance the character.

Going back in time - Toupee added to actor later in the play make him appear younger. Actor in the back has a fronted wig which is a bought wig with lace added to the front and ventilated to her hairline.
