Hoe can you age hair on a mask?

How can you age hair on a mask? I have a Michael Myers mask I'm customizing to look like it's from the new H2 movie and I need to age the hair. Please help!!

I'm sure that one of our Artists here on the forum can give you the exact way that they do it or more of a profesonal way to go about it, but I can tell you what I would try doing if it were me...

I've never done this, but again, this is what I would atempt...

First I'd do the hair in 2 differant lengths, I would cut some hair just a little bit shorter than the longest strans that you were planning on ung...

Then I'd add that thinned out veron of brown to darken some of the areas that you may have gotton a little to much white in...

I'm not saying that this is the way to go, but I would feel Very Confident in doing this process for one of my own masks if I felt the urdge to...

The only questions I would ask myself is "What Kind Of Glue"??? My first thought would be your bac Elmer's Glue watered down a little... But, I would want something a little more permenant...

I'm sure someone can tell ya how to do this in a more profesonal Manor, but I hope this helps! --Ryan

you should post a pic of how your mask looks now and one of how you want it to look
