How to Put a Ninja Mask On

Ninja masks come in a variety of styles and take only a few seconds to put on.

Ninja masks are dramatic statement pieces and make an impact in any setting. These items are ideal for Halloween costumes or any other occasion where a costume may be required. Ninja costumes normally entail dark clothing with gloves and tight-fitting socks and, of course, a black ninja mask for added emphasis. These costumes can be replicated at home with household items and, if donned correctly, can make a smash at your next gathering.

Instructions

1. Hold the bottom of the mask, at the neck opening, with both hands stretching this opening slightly to make room for your head. If your ninja mask is made like a surgical mask then pull back the elastic strings at the back of the face mask, holding the cloth part forward.

2. Pull the mask over your head, keeping the opening wide enough so that you can comfortably apply the mask. Make sure that it rests where the opening meets your eyes. For the surgical mask style keep the elastic pulled taut and pull the mask cloth forward and over your face until it rests right over your nose and mouth comfortably, then let go of the elastic so that it rests at the back of your head.

3. Adjust the mask until it feels like it is in the correct position. Wipe any hair away from your eyes that may have been disturbed in putting on the mask.
