Assembly

Sew or glue the hairpiece to the top of the head.

Tip: To keep the long hair strands in place and conform to the back of the head, I placed small dabs of hot glue under the hair strands and pressed them into place against the head. If you find that the long hair strands are too curly, you can try making them with a slightly larger hook. Pull them and press them flat with your fingers.
