Next, measure from side to side. Hold the tape measure just in front of one ear, where the hairline ends. Wrap the tape measure over the head, to the same spot in front of the opposite ear. To get the most accurate measurement of the head, you'll need to flatten the hair. You can wet the hair to flatten it, or put your hair in a flat style, such as corn rows. Take a piece of plastic wrap large enough to fit over the head. Wrap it tightly over the top part of the head. Keep it as tight as possible, and fasten it at the back. Apply clear adhesive tape to the plastic wrap to begin forming the pattern. Start by taping from side to side. Secure a piece of tape over one ear, and run the tape over the top of the head to the other ear. Make sure the plastic wrap is secure, but not too tight. Tape from front to back.

Tape over the pencil to keep it from erasing or smudging. Carefully remove the pattern from the head and prepare to pin it to your wig block. Take some stuffing and place it in the pattern. Place the pattern on a wig block and secure it using balled straight pins. Once the pattern is secure on the block, go back through and add straight pins along the hairline. . Use the pattern to measure a piece of lace. You'll need some extra lace to work with, so don't cut the piece to the exact size of the pattern. You may need to dye the lace to get it to match your skin tone. If you need to dye the lace, do it now, before you secure it to your pattern. You can find wig lace online or you can by similar fabrics at a craft store. Drape the lace over the pattern on the wig block. Secure the lace along the hairline using balled straight pins. Once you have the lace secured to the wig block, trace the entire hairline using small straight pins. Take care not to let the lace get ruffled as you work. Keep it smooth and tight. Once the front hairline is completely pinned, smooth the lace down to the back of the pattern. Secure the back with a straight pin and continue the pinning process in the back. Continue to keep the lace tight as you work. You may end up having to fold some of the lace in the back to keep it flat on the pattern. Pin the tip of the fold to secure it, and then sew the open end of the fold shut. Remove all the pins from the lace and take the cap off the pattern. Test the fit of the cap and make any necessary adjustments.

Article: A smart girl won't put up with a person who is disrespectful or mean to her or to others. Always speak kindly to and about others and be chivalrous and well-mannered. If you go out to eat with her, make sure to speak to the server politely. Hold the door open for her and for others. A smart girl very well may have a packed schedule. She's probably very dedicated to school or her profession, and she most likely won't be available every second of every day. Be patient and willing to change plans when things come up. This will show her that you are flexible and can handle adjusting to her schedule. Don't be intimidated by all of the books she's read or how many languages she speaks. You may feel especially compelled to show off and prove that you're as smart as her by lying and saying that you've done what she's done. This will only drive her away once she realizes that you're lying. Instead, open up to her about the things that you do know a lot about. Try telling her about the activities, films, or books that you're passionate about. Smart girls love a confident attitude. However, they can quickly tell the difference between confidence and arrogance. Have pride in who you are, but don't be obnoxious and showy about it. Often those who are cocky and not confident try to "one up" others by constantly trying to prove that they're better in one way or another. This will not impress a smart girl.
