Neben den 2 anderen Bänden "Historical Wig Styling" habe ich mir auch diesen zugelegt. Es werden eher die Basics erklärt, keine komplett fertigen Frisuren für diese oder jede Epoche. Doch gerade als Einstieg ist es gut sich zunächst mit allen wichtigen Aspekten des Perückenmachens zu beschäftigen, bevor man gleich loslegt und dann im Prozess etwas versemmelt. In der Hinsicht ist es eine gute Hilfe. Ein Auszug der behandelten Themen: - Techniken und Gerätschaften - Basics der Perückenherstellung - Akkurates Maßnehmen - Aufsetzen und Abnehmen - Haarteile herstellen - Schneiden, Färben, etc. - Perückenpflege Content: Chapter 1: Wig-Making Terms, Tools, and Techniques Glossary of Wig and Hair Terms Wig-Making Tool Kit Wig Styling Tool Kit Hairpins and Clips Rollers/Curlers A Well-Equipped Wig Area Handling a Wig Blocking a Wig Blocking Hard-Front Wigs Blocking Lace-Front Wigs Basic Hand Sewing Stitches Chapter 2: Wig Application and Removal Hair Prep Long Hair Nylon Wig Caps vs Fishnet Wig Caps Short Hair Prepping for Film How to Hold and Put on a Lace-Front Wig Applying Hard-Front Wigs and Falls Removing Wigs After a Performance A Word About Quick Changes and Tap Dancing Chapter 3: Care and Maintenance of Wigs Cleaning Wig Laces Cleaning Facial Hair Touching up a Wig Washing Wigs A Note About Hair Washing Products Washing the Wig off the Block Washing the Wig on the Block Storing Your Wigs Storage Systems Chapter 4: Wig-Making Basics: Learning to Ventilate Ventilating Needles and Holders Loading Your Needle Wig-Making Laces and Nets Fronting Laces Back/Foundation Laces Stretch Laces Other Wig-Making Materials The Direction and Stretch of the Lace Types of Hair Basic Wig-Knotting/Ventilating Technique Double Knotting Ventilating Positions Hair Density and Ventilating Patterns Ventilating Direction Untying Knots Color Blending Sewing with Invisible Thread Hair Punching Chapter 5: Taking Accurate Measurements Proper Head Measurements Transferring Head Measurements to a Block Plastic-Wrap Head Tracings Padding Out a Block with a Plastic Tracing Chapter 6: Facial Hair Creating the Pattern for the Facial Hair Piece Tracing method, free hand method, & stock paper patterns Adding Texture to the Hair Individual Hairpiece Characteristics Eyebrows Mustaches Sideburns Beards and Goatees Cutting and Styling the Facial Hair Applying the Facial Hair Removing the Facial Hair Direct Application Techniques Hair Laid On Facial Hair Floating Beards Historical Timeline of Facial Hair Styles Gallery of Natural Facial Hair Chapter 7: Working with and Adapting Commercial Wigs and Weft Cleaning Old Wigs Bringing Back the Shine of an Old Wig Dulling the Shine of a New Synthetic Wig Removing Weft Thinning a Wig with Thinning Shears Sewing Weft to the Underside of a Wig Adding Weft to Wigs Sewing Weft to a Pre-Made Foundation Piecing Together Wigs Full Bottom Wig Piecing Together Wigs to Increase Size Styling Tricks to Conceal the Front Edge of a Wig Using the Performer's Own Hair to Conceal the Front Edge of the Wig Chapter 8: Fronting Wigs Fronting and Other Adaptations of Commercial Wigs Types of Fronts The Human Hairline Changing the Hairline Building the Fronts Variation 1 Variation 2 Variation 3 Truing the Hairline Lace Direction and Hair Growth Direction Quick Front: A Step-by-Step Example Standard Front Deep Fronts Deep Front Variation 1 Variation 2 Variation 3 Mini Fronts Silk Blenders Nape Lace Chapter 9: Building a Wig From Scratch Types of Foundations Building a Circumference-Band Foundation Vegetable Net & Caul Net/Circumference Band/Right-Side-Out/Hand Sewn Variations on Circumference Band Foundations Variations on Nape-Piece Foundations Variations on One-Piece Foundations Notes About Adding Hair Parts, Crown Swirls, and Cowlicks Miscellaneous Foundations Balding Wigs Fringes Sewing Weft to a Pre-Made Foundation Summary Chapter 10: Partial Wigs, Toupees, and Hairpieces Toupee Graying Temple Pieces Pull-Throughs Falls Type 1 Type 2 Type 3 Type 4 Switches Kabuki-Inspired Lion Wig Making Custom Weft Using Weft to Make Clip-In Extensions ã Chapter 11: Wig Styling Techniques Elements of a Hairstyle Straight Hair Wetting and Drying Flat-Ironin.
