Mehron Makeup Crepe Hair | Fake Hair for Special Effects Makeup, Theatre, Stage & Screen, Cosplay, Halloween FX| 12 Inch Extra Long Braid (Dark Brown)

I'm fairly experienced with hair and makeup,and wanted to do a crazy, one-off, high effort (for bragging rights) look for Halloween. I suggest watching YouTube tutorials first to (re)familiarize yourself with the process. Set aside AT LEAST two hours to apply!I found Prosaide as the adhesive works best. Do NOT use spirit gum, which takes too long to dry and doesn't hold hair well. Got2B as a finisher (or a quick dry applicator in a pinch) is a miracle product.This color is Light Brown. When "puffed" it looked arguably blonde. This turned out to be a good thing, though, as it was so close to my skintone that any clumps and imperfections blended invisibly into my face. So I would definitely recommend choosing a color that matches your skin if you are a crepe hair novice and it fits your character.Finally, a lot of people say it's really itchy and uncomfortable if worn for more than an hour. I didn't have this problem at all, so don't let that scare you. However, Do know that if you do a full beard with a mustache, you WILL have trouble eating and drinking. Be prepared to drink through a straw and if you must eat solid food, cut into small pieces, get used to getting hair in your mouth, and designate a friend to tell you when you have food in your beard!

Soft, not itchy at all! Easy to put on and take off. Worked well for my leprechaun fx makeup.

This product was used for a moustache and beard for my Jack Sparrow cosplay costume. Initially, i thought there was not going to be enough product that was delivered, but once straightened, there is more than enough: straighten only short segments at a time, preserving the coiled crepe hair for future applications. I had previously used prefabricated facial products but the look was "artificial", and the moustache and beard kept falling off. This Mehron product, while taking a little more time to apply definitely gives a more realistic, durable look. I applied the hair with Prosaid. This is an excellent adhesive, and can be a bit messy to work with. But careful application of the adhesive with cotton tipped applicators to your skin, waiting for the adhesive to become tacky and then pushing the trimmed edge of the hair to the skin with another utensil (i used a piece of a wooden chopstick), keeps your fingers free of the tacky glue. I would also recommend working in small sections at a time; you can thereby modify your technique and amount of hair to give the desired result. In a couple of areas, i did not apply enough hair, so i simply dabbed just a bit more adhesive over the thin areas and applied additional Mehron. Don't apply too much adhesive over these thin areas, for while the adhesive is somewhat transparent, too much glue could be visible and detract from the final look. I applied longer lengths of hair, then trimmed to my desired length afterwards. With this adhesive, the moustache and beard stayed in place for over 9 hours, until i removed them after the fair. I had NO issue with contact dermatitis from the glue, as some had reported. And I would definitely recommend the Prosaid adhesive remover, as there is residual adhesive after removing the hair. The Prosaid remover is pungent, but tolerable. I would offer this: do not overly steam/heat treat the crepe hair product, as it may become excessively straightened, looking a little less realistic IMHO. So, I think this is an excellent product for facial hair. Delivery was prompt. I can recommend this product and supplier.

I really like this thinning style hair. I used it on my Home Depot Witch overhaul and it looks great. I'll slap a short on my youtubes to show you.

looks v.good but too small so could not use it.

Good color and straightens well in a few moments of hot water. Dries quickly. Good value for price.

This was bought for my daughter to use in her college drama make up class for a project, and it was a great product to complete the work and at a very reasonable price. I was even able to get it to her faster for her last minute need with the expedited shipping service.

I ordered this to enhance my werewolf make up for Halloween. It has a wiry/curly texture that simulates facial hair or course animal hair, which worked out great. I used both spirit gum and double side fabric tape to secure to my face and hands.
