putting falls onto a foamy.

Post by FRUIT_SALAD » Sun Mar 22, 2009 10:44 pm

hii!

I want to know a good way of putting a fall(s) onto a foam head.

first off when i do it it looks crap, it just doesnt show how good they are.
second of all because its made out of foam the head falls over! :evil: probs becuase its not been put on probably.

i also need to know what you attach your falls with, i use pins is that enough?

help with pictures would be great!

if you check my recent show off you can see how crap i am at putting falls onto my foam head!

:(
please help!

I tie the falls together loosely then use a couple of pins into the mannequins head through the elastic :)

If you have a wig on the mannequin; tie half the hair up and pin it into place that way :) x

I've glued "buns" (balls made of foam rubber or pulp) for the foam head and tie the falls to them.

i use pins for dreads, but bobby pin/hair grips for falls (as long as you dn't mind a few holes in the top of your mannequin head)
