The four-hour process began with the fitting of an "appliance" (industry-speak for "headpiece."). It was attached to the top of my eyebrows, covered my whole head and both ears, and went down to my neck. The one problem? I have too much hair and making all of it fit under the appliance was no easy feat. After several tries, we discovered that if we made six small pony tails and pinned them at the nape of my neck, we could make it work. Latex was then applied to my cheeks and the sides of my neck.
