A bald cap is an appliance used to mask a wearer's hair and create the illusion that they are bald. Most inexpensive bald caps are made from latex. However, bald caps can concievably be constructed from dozens of different materials. Many of the newer alternative synthetics are preferable as they can allow you to dissolve the edges with products such as alcohol or acetone. The brand Woochie is synonymous with rubber bald caps, which are good for haunted houses and opera, but they are too thick to be of much use for film or TV.

abstract	A bald cap is an appliance used to mask a wearer's hair and create the illusion that they are bald. Most inexpensive bald caps are made from latex. However, bald caps can concievably be constructed from dozens of different materials. Many of the newer alternative synthetics are preferable as they can allow you to dissolve the edges with products such as alcohol or acetone. Commercial prefabricated bald caps often attempt to come in a one-size-fits-most shape, with a neutral flesh tone. In professional situations where an effect has to be repeatable, it can be benificial to run a line of custom-fit bald caps. WATER-MELON™, a water-based liquid vinyl released by Michael Davy, is designed for just such a purpose. Bald cap usage has grown to serve other purposes. They are often used to shield a subject's hair during the process of lifecasting. They are used when a subject's natural hair cannot be completely hidden beneath a wig. They are used to facilitate the application of cowl prosthetics or full-head prosthetic masks as they keep the hair from protruding from the cowl, they reproduce the form of the orgiginal lifecast (as mentioned, taken with a baldcap in place), and prevent tugging on the hair during the often akward process of donning and adhearing the prosthetic. There are two DVD's that show how to apply Bald caps. One is by Ed French and shows how to manufacture and apply a latex bald cap. It was long considered to be the be all end all of bald cap application. However, it dealt only with latex caps and the model in the video was a short haired guy. In 2009, Michael Mosher (www.makeupguy.com/Makeupguy.com/The_Store.html‎) put out another DVD. This DVD covers how to put on a plastic/vinyl bald cap for the rigors of High Definintion. Mosher also shows how to take long hair and hide it undernearth a bald cap fairly quickly and easily. The methond he uses to paint the caps also makes it faster and easier. The brand Woochie is synonymous with rubber bald caps, which are good for haunted houses and opera, but they are too thick to be of much use for film or TV.
