So, you have to be careful not to make it look like too much hair. It’s all about proportions and balance because there are two wigs sewn together. There’s a bunch of things that go into it that I have to keep in mind when making the wigs. He likes the right side of his face with the wig a little more back than the left side because he likes it to be a little bit fuller, kind of an asymmetrical look. So, we keep the silhouette in mind and then I have to remember what Ru likes, as far as what kind of wave patterns and where he likes things brought out away from his face. And the wig usually will confirm what the look is trying to present, meaning like the different hairstyles from the sixties or seventies or eighties. And then we’d go according to what the outfit may be and what she’s wanting to express. It may be a sixties silhouette dress, or seventies, or an eighties, punk rock look silhouette. It’s a process.ĭEADLINE: What are the most important factors to consider while making wigs?įOREMAN: Well, Ru has certain silhouettes that he’s always looking for, like the dress will have a certain silhouette.
So once that is decided, then we figured out what silhouette we’re gonna shape the wig into. Then I dye the lace and I cut the lace off the front, and the next morning, he decides what he’s going to wear. And then I sew the second wig on top of the first wig, and I brush them out and then I reshape them with the razor, and I give it a good base tease and style. I block the wig on the wig head and then I razor cut each wig, and roll the wigs with rollers, depending on what wave pattern he wants for the look, and then I steam them first before I put them in the wig dryer and let them dry. So, the process for me with each wig, is that it’s always two wigs. Then the next day is the drag day and that’s when he is going to wear the wig. So, the first day I start making the wig for the next day, usually, since he is in boy drag. And I try to make as many as I can before we begin Drag Race, because I only have a day before he’s in drag for each episode, so it’s two days. 'RuPaul’s Drag Race' & 'Untucked!'
