Wig Making and Styling: A Complete Guide for Theatre & Film

Before beginning, if you have hair you must flatten it. You will want to have your hair prepared as you will be wearing it under the wig for an accurate measurement. Use a cloth tape measure or string to ensure accuracy. Take several measurements to make sure your previous measurements are accurate. Accuracy is key for a proper lace wig fit. Measure just a little beyond your own natural hairline.

Use our Lace/Sheer Mesh Color Chart below as a visual guide to determine the lace color that may be best for you. Pro tip: if you are unsure of the lace color that matches your skin tone perfectly, it's better to go lighter as opposed to darker. Lace can always be darkened, but never lightened.

Due to the limitations and the relative inconsistencies of various display monitors, the colors you see on your screen may not be a totally accurate reproduction of the actual product. We strive to make our colors as accurate as possible, but screen images are intended as a guide only and should not be regarded as absolutely correct. 

If you are highly concerned about color, we highly recommend purchasing a lace color ring.
