1. Place plastic wrap over balding area, preferably have the wrap long enough to stretch all the way over your head and tie it under your chin, so it fits tightly to your head. But do not stretch the plastic wrap.

2. Tape the plastic wrap to contour the head shape, preferable to use thin strips of clear or masking tape. Beginning at your forehead, place strips over the plastic wrap at the side edges of your bald area and work your way inward with more tape strips. Once you have a complete layer of tape running front-to-back, place another layer of tape over the first layer, going from side-to-side. Apply three layers of tape – two layers front-to-back and one side-to-side. The tape will lock the plastic wrap into a template of your scalp.

3. Use a marker to trace outline of the balding area. The front hairline should start at least three fingers above your eyebrow. You may also indicate where you want a part and how you comb your hair

4. Cut away the excess plastic wrap along the outer perimeter line.
