Pro Tip for Stephen Miller: Use Dryer Lint. Works Great!

Here's a step-by-step guide to solve your pesky hair problem:

1. Select a sweat-shirt or other fleece garment that closely matches your natural (or dyed) hair color.
2. Put it in the washer, inside out, using scent-free detergent. Wash normal cycle, hot wash, cool rinse.
3. After the spin cycle, toss it into the dryer.
4. Before starting the dryer, remove and clean the appliance's lint filter.
5. Once the dryer cycle is done, remove the lint filter and inspect the collected lint.
6. If it's not a perfect match wash and dry other fleece garments in darker or lighter colors and dry them.
7. Once you have an ideal color match, carefully peel off the lint without tearing it.
8. Using sharp scissors, cut the lint carefully to match the hairline you desire.
9. Spray one side of the trimmed lint with spray-on aerosol adhesive (3M Super 77 spray adhesive recommended)
10. After applying an even coat of adhesive, carefully place the lint, adhesive side down, in position on scalp.
11. Allow to dry for at least 15 minutes and then fluff lint as desired and apply Big Sexy Hair spray as needed to hold.

While is definitely will be tacky from the get go, you want the surface to be sticky, not oily.

And we should include the Safety Data Sheet.
