Now you will have a perfect fitting template.

Template measurements

Materials needed: pen, plastic wrap, tape, scissors

  1. Clean the scalp so you have a smooth surface. Tear a big piece of plastic wrap off and place it onto the head. Make sure you're pressing down firmly and evenly and that the plastic wrap is air tight without any gaps or bumps.

  2. Attach the tape on the plastic wrap starting from the front and then run the tape evenly across the scalp piece by piece. Each piece of tape should overlap and completely cover the head. Apply three or four layers of tape across the front to the back and from left to right to ensure the template is sturdy enough.

  3. Use a marker pen to trace around the original hairline at the front, sides, and back. Ensure you make a smooth outline that goes all the way around the head and marks the entire hairline.
    Tips: A good way of ensuring where to place the hair system for the most natural-looking of hairlines is to place four fingers horizontally from the top of the eyebrow and put a dot above the index fingerthe4

  4. If you require a part and a crown, mark the pivot point where the original growth would be in a parting. Then draw a line from the pivot point at the back of the crown to the front hairline. Mark an 'F' for front and a 'B' for back along with any special requirements regarding parting and crown. If you require different densities, you can mark them on the template in the appropriate area.

    * If you require different densities, please mark on worksheet with appropriate percentage.

    Tips: The parting line represents the direction the units hair. This will give the hair system a very natural appearance.

  5. Cut along the outline that has been drawn out and get rid of the excess wrap. Finally, to make sure the template fits, place it back on the head.

  6. Mark your name on the template.
