When it comes to help with hair, the best known resource is Amy Bunger's "How'd You Do That?" DVD on stitching hair and beards.

UPDATE: I forgot a snippet of this DVD is on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. It'll give you a flavor of what Amy has to say about hair and beards.

I like to look at my copy of "Beards I Have Known" for hair ideas. This little booklet by Diana Bosworth is all about beards for Santa, but that curly beard can easily be turned into a curly hair cut for a little boy on a needlepoint canvas.

If you happen to have a copy of Suzanne Howren and Beth Robertson's "New Twists on Needlework Embellishment" lying around, it has a couple of good hair tips, although hair is only touched on briefly.

Anyone else know of good places for hair stitches and ideas?
