How to Apply Crepe Hair
HOW TO 
Tags: Crepe hair, Acting, Actors, Theater Performance
Changing your appereance is something as an actor you are often asked to do. A good way to do this is by using Crepe hair and below is the best way I have found to apply it.
| 1. | Before doing anything else, use a makeup chart to plan where you are going to put the hair; this is especially important if you are using it alongside other makeup effects. Remember the bone structure beneath the skin. This is important if the hair is going on the face; it's not as vital in other areas, but it's still good to keep in mind. |
| 2. | Once you have figured out where the hair goes, you have two options for sticking the hair to the skin: liquid latex or spirit gum. Whichever you choose, apply a thin layer to the area. |
| 3. | Put the hair on the adhesive. It is recommended that you put the hair on in small amounts at a time; if you put too much on at once, it will look like you tacked it on. If you put it on a little at a time, you can create the illusion that the hair is actually growing out of the skin. |
| 4. | Work quickly, especially with liquid latex, because it dries very quickly. |
| 5. | Once the hair is all on, apply any additional makeup. |
