I'm stuck at part one- threading a needle with human hair.
They are 16" lengths of very fine hair. I figured threading multiple strands would provide enough tension that it wouldn't break when I begin to sew with it. I can't manage to handle the lengths not to mention hold them together to get them through the eye. When I finally do- they all seem to separate and I can't hold them to knot them off.
Does anyone have any tips on how to work with such a delicate process?

Only the parenthetical was meant has humor. That really is the first thing I'd try. -
