Cut the yarn and fasten off if you plan to glue the hair, or leave it long if you plan to sew it. Turn the hair to the wrong side to attach it to the head, so the front strands are better positioned.
Place the hair by aligning the starting ring with the reversed ring that closes the head. Arrange and pin the front strands where you want them, then sew or glue the top of the hair to the head. In total, there are 8 long strands in the hair. Separate 4 for each side, join them at the base, and tie them together with Amigurumi Slim yarn 4131 (Dark Cheddar). Only after that, sew or glue the remaining hair to the head. You should have two low pigtails on each side of the head.
