Zipper + Hair = Pain (;-;)

[noblesseoblige]

Hey guys I am making good progress on my spiderman mask. I have a zipper and as I was fitting my mask I got my hair caught.

Now when I say caught I really mean I had to choose between cutting my hair or destroying the zipper so I opted to destroy the zipper because I can't have a patch of hair missing haha. Anyways I want to avoid this in the future so I came to the experts. I was thinking of wearing a thin liner underneath first, like a balaclava type thing, but much thinner so I don't sweat and drown in my own sweat in the faceshell. I was looking at that method or going with a morphsuit mask for 10 dollar to wear under then cutting out eye holes.

Anyone else have this problem? I want to hear if anyone else has solutions, or maybe I should just get a haircut haha

I have medium length hair, and I usually grow it out fairly long.

When I wear my suit I use an open-face mask I got from ZentaiZone to keep my hair flat. It's basically a "Morphsuit" mask but with an opening from the forehead down to the chin.

How shiny is that fabric? I'm looking for something exactly like that for a different costume, but I don't want it to be shiny at all. If it's a matte material, it might be perfect.

I ordered a white one, and there is a shine to it.

Aww, that's too bad. Thanks, though! I will keep looking (and by that, I mean start looking, since I've only just started planning the costume, lol!).

Good luck!

Maybe you can make one? The mask is just three pieces sewn together.

I might, if I can find matte stretch fabric. I checked my local fabric store yesterday with no luck (they have a terrible selection of stretch fabrics, though, so I wasn't surprised). I'll keep looking, though I'd rather not have to order online if I don't have to, since it's so hard to tell how shiny something is from pics. But it shouldn't be hard to make, if I can find the right fabric!
