This would work great for say a halloween costume,but if you are doing an actual production of a show like phantom, I think,if you cant afford to do it right, dont do it at all. There are so many other productions that can be done wonderfully with limited budgets...There are a few companies and individuals who do rent lace front wigs for theatrical purposes at a much cheaper cost than purchasing one...

This is not intended for a production of the show. This (and the makeup tutorials) are aimed at Halloween costumes.

would this work for a alopecia wig?

You don't look strange because your a pretty girl and when you are in costume you look like a very convincing man. You look like two different people.

When I was in HS,before I ever learned to ventilate,I did a very similar project for a "wizard" wig for some show i was in using white crepe hair(steamed and straightened) and a stocking cap.It turned out pretty good,although I think a bald cap would work better.You can find synthetic hair very cheap at Sally Beauty Supply or other BS's geared more towards black hair.they have both synthetic wefts and bulk hair(sold like a ponytail)for under $5.Of course short HH wefts is rarely more than $10-12

Where did you find a bigger version of the music box that you have?

I was wondering when the wig is finished should a stocking cap be use before putting the wig on ... ?
