“Installation, lace where?”

@Ashm_beauty bar explained:

“It's a handmade bald latex cap" using liquid latex, mostly made in beauty school for practicals like doing special effects makeup, character makeup, helping to create a different look for actors and performers, especially those who don't want to cut their hair.”

@Zama KaMafikeni Msibi explained:

“She’s obviously an actor. This is part of her makeup. I once did an 80's afro that was so believable for a film, "Uncovered", which was on Netflix for some time.”
