Cutting the Base - Rafs - 11-05-2009
Sorry if this question was answered before. I have a question about cutting the base. My piece is 8X10. I currently dont wear yet. I figure the area I need to cover is about 6 front to back and about 6 side by side. When I make my template and Im ready to cut it down, should I cut the 4 inches of the back? Or cut some off the front as well? If I cut 4 inches off the back I will be cutting into almost the center of the piece past the seams. My concern is that will the piece fray faster in the back if I cut past the seams? I only bought one piece currently and I dont want to mess it up.

the front knots have been bleached so try not to cut into the front at all....lay your template over the base (pin the hairpiece upside down on a styro head), line the template up at the front and pin it to hold it in place. now, gently, cut around the template....I like to leave 1/4" all around just to err on the side of caution. remember, you can always trim more....but if you make it too small, its ruined.

Always have a backup before you start wearing.
