If you can't find the type of curly hair your after, I have permed some grey for a old dark mans beard and hair, it turned out nice. I used tooth picks to wind the mohair on . you need to do it to directions. You hair dressing salon maybe interest in seelling a small ammout, otherwise just measure proportions. You still need to use perming papers. And you can set it in a warm oven. I also founud some small round wooden sticks that I was going to cut into smaller lengths ,cut a slit on either end to hold the curl with rubber bands. hope this helps. XXXX June. PS You could even go a bit bigger than tooth picks and use bamboo scewers.
