it is a small figure the head is about the size of a donut hole....a little smaller...how would i make curly hair? i tried using the garlic press and then scrunching i a little but that was a total failure....anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance!

This is a handy little tool, it has discs with various size openings. Great for hair on figures.

I use a clay extruder to get the strands of hair. (Super cheap at micheals with a 40% coupon u can print online)

For curls just let it dry a little wrapper around a pen, pencil, straw whatever.
It will get you the spiral yours looking for
