Graftobian Complete Latex Bald Cap Kit with Instructions

This bald cap kit is exactly how I expected it to be when I decided to buy it. I used it for my Halloween costume in which I was Professor X from X-Men. Before you buy this kit, expect to put some work into making it look realistic. Remember, this is a bald cap "kit" with grease makeup, so you don't just put it on and look convincingly bald. I have a full head of dark brown hair with about 4 inches of hair length on top and 1 inch length around the sides and back. Before putting on the cap I lightly gelled my hair back and flat because if you don't, the cap is thin enough to take the shape of any bulges in your hair. While putting on the cap you can still see the dark color of my hair through the thin latex cap, but that's what the makeup is for. At first I thought there wasn't going to be enough makeup in the kit to cover my whole head but there was actually more than enough once I was through. I blended two of the brown shades to achieve my skin color and all of my friends thought it matched perfectly. As this was my first time playing around with theater type makeup, the most difficult part of this kit was hiding the seam line of the latex cap using the liquid latex. After 2 hours in the mirror and some help from my girlfriend, I achieved a convincingly bald look and got a bunch of laughs from my friends at the Halloween party. This is a really great kit, but remember you have to put some time into it! The kit comes with an instruction sheet that has both pictures and written steps on how to apply the bald cap. In addition to the instructions I found a couple bald cap instructional videos online (not associated with Graftobian) that helped a lot. If you do decide to buy the cap, just be careful when first putting the cap on your head because longer fingernails do run the risk of tearing the latex cap if they get caught when the cap is being stretched. For the price of this bald cap kit, and with the help of a friend, it is well worth!

DO NOT BUY and waste your $50. Go to Party City and buy the bald cap from there. This bald cap is very thin. The minute you try to cut it around the ear, it tears in half. Crappy product

I got this cap for my Dr Evil outfit. The end product is pretty good but we made a couple of mistakes putting the thing on which the instructions don't give a warning about (very much needed for rookies to this stuff like me).The cap tears very easily when cutting it. We made the mistake of trying to cut it while on my head and with the tension from stretching it split right down the middle. Probably best to put it on, mark it, take it off, cut it, and put it on again (carefully!). I wish they provided a second cap for these instances, or wish I had bought two. Luckily I was able to fix the mistake with a bit of duck tape.The second mistake was cutting too much off. We stretched the cap when we put it on, meaning when we cut it, the thing shrank. We were able to cover up most of it with the liquid latex provided, and I had some hair protruding from the back (people though I was poor burn victim or something). The instructions should tell you to leave an inch or so after your hairline to leave plenty of margin for error.Finally, this thing takes a long time to put on: after cutting, gluing, and applying make up, the whole process was a couple of hours.

With the bottle of Latex I also ordered with the kit it all made my Agent 47 cosplay look fairly great. It lasted about 4 1/2- 5 hours at a convention and really the downfall was the amount of i head sweat during the whole thing so if you are not a bad sweater then this is definitely the stuff for you. Now my only problem with the product is the latex bald cap that came with it was a bit to thin (though I have a big head so I did not mark down my score for it.) and so during the trimming process the cap split, but I was able to rut off and trim around the split area and still make a rather good bald effect. Now this cap is not a put on and go. for me (with my cousin helping me) it took around 3 hours to put this on but the finished effect for me it totally worth it! One thing I will say made me a little annoyed is the instructions were completely stupid so when buying this I also suggest you watch this video here: [...]

While this is difficult to apply, it would probably work if you spend sufficient time on it. My package must have been old as the liquid latex that was supposed to be used to blend the edges was rock hard and completely useless. Since it was halloween when I discovered this I just had to do without. Was very disappointed.

This bald cap kit is comprehensive, and better than most that you can buy. It is good for someone who wants to spend a bit more for a better-looking, casual costume job - but it will by no means give you professional-level results unless you are already skilled in makeup and prosthetic fx. This kit is high quality with everything you will need, but even so it proves incredibly tricky to get truly professional, seamless looking results without lots of practice, time and attention to detail.The instructions that are included are a great reference, and provide good step-by-step examples and instruction. However, the edges are challenging to blend into the skin, even with the instructions, liquid latex and makeup. It's a challenge to get the cap on and stretched taut and glued down without wrinkles.Definitely a good bit of fun in this bald cap kit, but not easy to apply and have look good!!!

This kit worked great for converting my son into a costume designed to look like "Agent 47" who has a bald head and a barcode on the back on the head. It covered his full head of hair and the instructions and makeup included were perfect for blending to make it look real and natural. It took more time than I allotted to apply because I was a first time user but definitely worth the effect. I would buy this kit again.I can see this being used for theatrical purposes too.
