Curiously, those retained their name and were (and are) generally called Source 4s, in my experience. <br><br>At any rate, I?ve heard ?LED Leko?, ?LED Source 4?, and Source 4 LED? as generic terms. <br><br>We use S4 Lustre 2 units on my current show, and generally refer to them as ?Lustres?.<br><br>It would probably make sense for the term ?Profile? to make it in to general use, but it isn?t a familiar term to most people in the US currently. So, if you used it, you?d probably then have to explain what you meant. <br><br>June Abernathy<br>IATSE #321 (Tampa, FL)<br>FOH Electrician<br>The Lion King National Tour<br><br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 2<br>Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2018 00:00:16 -0400<br>From: Kristi R-C <misswisc@aol.com><br>To: stagecraft@theatrical.net<br>Subject: Re: [SML] WIgs<br>Message-ID: <16550573102-1e9a-e2fe@webjas-vac188.srv.aolmail.net><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"<br><br>I was taught to take a big "bus tub" (plastic tub) and put a few drops of baby shampoo in the bottom, add about 3" of luke-warm water to it and swish with my hand to blend. Take the wig by the front top inside seam - not the hair, but the sturdy part of the seam - and with the hair of the wig on the bottom of the tub, make large, slow figure 8s in the bottom of the tub. Don't wring, twist, or go backwards- keep the hair flowing behind. If the wig has a lot of styling products, it may need to sit for a few minutes before doing the figure 8s. Once it's well washed, dump out the soapy water and repeat the procedure without the soap at least twice more to get all the residue and soap out. Gently lay on a towel to carry so you don't put any pressure on the wig cap. <br><br><br>Take a canvas wig head that has been wrapped with a couple of layers of Saran Wrap/palletizing wrap and pin the cap in place using ribbon to hold the wig cap in place. With the wig head facing you, place the center of the ribbon on the top, front of the lace and pin, Work your way out to the sides with the ribbon placing pins every 1/2 inch or so in a zig-zag (think motorcycles riding staggered) to hold the wig lace in place. Roll onto curlers/set being gentle to keep the lace in place and not break hair. Dry in a wig dryer or air dry. <br><br><br>http://makeupbygill.blogspot.com/2011/11/wig-making-blocking.html. has some good photos, though I was taught to continue the ribbon around the back side of the head, too.<br><br><br>HTH<br>Kristi R-C<br><br><br><br><br>---- Original Message ----<br>From: Pat Kight via Stagecraft <stagecraft@theatrical.net><br>To: Stagecraft <stagecraft@theatrical.net><br>Cc: kightp <kightp@peak.org><br>Sent: Sat, Aug 18, 2018 11:28 am<br>Subject: Re: [SML] WIgs<br><br><br><br>It's been decades since I dealt with wigs myself, but this looks like good advice:<br><br>http://savvysheitels.com/washing.shtml<br><br><br><br><br>From: "Stagecraft" <stagecraft@theatrical.net><br>To: "Stagecraft" <stagecraft@theatrical.net><br>Cc: "Jeffrey Kanyuck" <JKanyuck@Harford.edu><br>Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2018 8:14:59 AM<br>Subject: [SML] WIgs<br><br><br><br>Hello All,<br> I have a show coming up where we will be using a wig made of human hair that will be getting dirty over the time of the show.
