Hey Kero,

Making a template isn't nearly as intimidating as it seems. The best tip I can give you is to use the "add and subtract" method. This basically entails adding more tape to any areas where you cut too much off, and continuing to trim the template until you have achieved satisfactory results. You can do this as many times as necessary.

Here is a summary of how to make a template:

1- Cover your head with kitchen wrap

2- Apply strips of tape front to back and side to side, covering the entire area where you want your final template to be. If anything, make it a couple of inches bigger than you think you will need

3- Once you have a rough shell, apply more packing tape to reinforce. Again, side to side and front to back

4- Mark the rough area where you think the final template will look best. Don't worry about getting it perfect, just take your best guess and make your markings

5- Remove the template and trim according to your marks

6- Place the template back on your head and mark any areas that need further trimming, take note of any areas where the template needs to be larger

7- Remove the template and trim according to your marks. Add more tape in the areas where the template needs to be larger.

8- Repeat steps 5-7 until you are satisfied with the results
