How to Prepare Braided Crepe Wool
1. Un-braid the crepe hair and cut to the desired length.
2. Wet the crepe hair and hand squeeze out excess water.
3. Drape the wet hair over something to dry (a coat hanger works well for this)
   You can apply small weights to the end to straighten the hair.
4. When the crepe hair is fully dry (2-3 hours) use fingertips to pull fibers from one end.
5. Set the pulled fibers aside.
   As you pull more fibers lay them with the others you've pulled in a straight pile.
   (This is a good time to blend in other colors to make your beard look more natural.)
6. If the fibers are still too curly you can use an electric iron on the wool setting to iron them flatter.
   (Be careful with this--really straight hair may not look natural)
   
7. You should now have a nice pile of crepe wool fiber ready to apply to the face.
8. When working with the fiber use small bunches about the thickness of your thumb.
9. Flatten the bunch slightly and cut one end with scissors for an even edge to apply to the face.
