How viable is a half bald cap?
So I'm currently working on a character who has a half shaved head.
I've seen Wigs made before where the shaved side was just cut very short, but I find that looks very choppy and isn't quite appropriate for the fade style my character has
In watching the wig and hair basics tutorial they mentioned placing a full lace wig over a bald pate, and that seems like the most realistic way to go about it - however having never worn a bald cap before due to sensory issues, I've got a few questions about how viable that is in a half-wig situation and I'm hoping someone more experienced can help me out
I've seen a few tutorials by YouTube artists where they've simply pinned a section of a bald cap to the side of their heads. It rarely looks good on its own - it's usually used under heavy burn makeup with the MUAs own hair, but if I was attaching the semi-cap to a wig to keep the top pinned down... Could it be viable or would I be wasting a cap by trying?
If I do have to wear a full bald cap beneath that also raises it's own questions about how to pin it. The full-hair section is very thick and heavy, so glue alone wouldn't be sufficient to hold it. Am I able to pin through the cap or will the tension of the cap essentially just shred it?
I do plan on doing my own experiments when the caps arrive, but while I wait I would appreciate any pointers that anyone has to offer!
