Every day it seems that we are learning that the rules we thought applied to full caps are based more upon ignorance than fact.
How short can you go? Will the unit lift if attached at the nape of the neck? How realistic can the temples look?
My latest unit was cut in by a stylist who has some experience with hairpieces. I gave him a few simple requests based upon the fact that I was planning on modifying the unit by cutting the temple areas back and adding some recession, and I told him that I tend to look better with “shorter sides and medium length top hair”. Other than that, his mission was to “make me look good”.
New Unit, Fresh Cut-In
Much to my surprise, he cut the sides directly above the ears VERY short. I’m talking STUBBLE short. And amazingly, it looks great! I never would have thought that the hair at ANY point of a hairpiece could be cut to 1/8 or 1/16 of an inch and still look realistic, but I was proven wrong!
With the Full Cap business still in its infancy, there is no doubt that we will continue to push the limits finding new and exciting ways to make our Full Caps look great.
