166 CINEMATOGRAPHIC ANNUAL A { r'^y* ' 1 \s ' ■ f. SB Left: Crepe heir unravelled. Center: Combing out crepe hair. Right: Trimming ends evenly Crepe Hair A braided hair material prepared for making beards, mustaches and eyebrows can be purchased by the yard, and comes in many shades. For ordinary use, a yard will last practically a year. False Beards For the average beard, a natural effect can be obtained if the crepe hair is built directly on the face. Beards, sideburns and mustaches give the face a natural, mature expression. The art of manipulating crepe hair will prove to be a great advantage in portraying many character parts. The rules below, combined with practice, will give you a workable knowledge. 1. When unbraided, the crepe hair is very curly and kinky. It must be straightened before using. First, moisten thoroughly. Then, while damp, tie each end firmly with string. Draw th« hair out while it is taut and straight, stretching between two objects until it is dry. It is suggested that the hair be prepared in this manner the night before it is to be used. 2. When the hair is straight and dry, the quantity to be used should be combed. This is done on a hair-worker's hackle, or it can be done with an ordinary comb. Two or three shades of hair can be used in the same beard. The hair can be stacked neatly within convenient reach to be applied. 3. A thin coating of spirit gum is applied to the face where the hair normally grows. The application of spirit gum is an important detail toward creating a natural looking hairline. Left: Adhering trimmed ends to spirit gum. Center: Trimming beard to shape Right: Finished beard
