Teasing out the crepe hair.
I don't know why it's called crepe hair or anything, but you can find out by using the google machine. It comes in a tight braid that you need to undo. Start gently pulling the hair out so that it is less curly. I used a straightener on low heat to get the hair to a desired straightness without burning or melting it.
Attach sections of hair to the bald cap with liquid latex applied with a sponge.
Dab a small amount of liquid latex onto the bald cap with the sponge and press the hair onto the wet liquid latex. It only takes a few minutes to dry, so don't wait too long to apply it. This is one and a half 6 inch sections of the crepe hair. I cut one in half to put on the lower section of the cap to support the longer hair to make it stand up more.
Let one side dry, then repeat process on other side.
Once one side is completed, let it sit and dry for a few minutes. It's good to try and stretch the cap while it's drying.
Try the wig on for reference.
