Costuming is a huge part of theatre and film, and the wig can make or break a costume. These two incredibly experienced authors have created the very first real guide specifically about making or styling wigs for costumes. No longer will professionals, professors, and students need to dig up old references to hairstyles in different time periods and then try to "figure it out." Here they will have access to everything they will need, including information on the styling tools, different types of hair, wig making and measuring, coloring, cutting, removal, and even creating beards and toupees. Creating wigs from scratch and adapting commercial wigs are both covered. This is a long-overdue and much needed guide for the industry that is full of information and inspirational photographs.
