Since the key to the
success of a transvestite hairpiece is its fit, the base must
correspond to the drag queen's head shape and original
hairline. Making a tape
template
for a transsexual's head
which can be seen through and drawn upon is an ideal
way to develop a pattern for the transformation to a
beautiful
drag queen
hairpiece.
- Place an
18-inch square of clear plastic wrap so
that it covers the top portion of the
TG head.
- After
pressing the wrap close to the head, use
tape to contour the queens head shape.
- Beginning at
the forehead, place transparent tape on
the wrap over what will become the outer
perimeters of the pattern.

|
 |
- After you
have taped the boundaries, cover the
inner portion of the plastic wrap with
overlapping pieces of tape.
- Apply 3
or 4 layers of tape.
- The tape
will lock the plastic wrap into a
permanent transparent tape template.

Hairpiece Pattern
Using a Sharpie permanent
marker, draw pattern lines on the tape template while
it is still on your head. Though requirements vary
from person to person, some rules of thumb apply to
most. Front hairline should usually be established by
placing 3 or 4 of your fingers (depending on your age)
about the brow line. Lines are drawn from that point
to form a pattern, which covers the bald area. Deeper
recessions look most natural.
 |
After
the entire outer perimeter of the pattern is
drawn, the desired style should be
indicated.
If a part is
desired, draw a line from a pivot point at
back crown to the front hairline. Placement
of the pivot point should correspond to what
can be seen of your original growth.

|
| Indicate
the probable growth pattern on the tape
template, the date the tape template is
made, as well as other pertinent information
concerning your hairpiece. After you have
finished marking the tape template, add one
more layer of tape (now 4) to cover and seal
in the markings. Since the average life of a
hairpiece is 12 to 18 months, good record
keeping is advisable to keep the hair piece
current. Remove the tape template from your
head and trim the excess plastic wrap off. |

How to Make A
Transvestite Template
Pattern:
Woman’s
Templates
for Wigs:
Side measurement is done like men's above. However,
front to back is different. Because women typically don't recede like men do, it
is wise to use the natural bang and add hair behind it. Start your
measurement about 1 inch behind natural front hair line, going over the top to
back as far as it needs to cover the area.
