I have a past life as a theatrical hairdresser working in New York and regionally in plays, musicals and operas, and we built rats out of nylon net to use for wigs and hairstyles with the actors' own hair. Simply pick a color of net similar to the hair shade, draw up a shirred length with needle and thread, encompass it with more net and sew to secure, making a net "burrito."
It's more sanitary than human hair because it's easier to wash and disinfect, it's inexpensive, it won't crumple, you can make any size you need and it's not nearly so slippery and very easy to pin into -- plus you don't have to wait to amass all the hair. I realize that it's maybe not as aesthetically desirable as using one's own hair, but it's an easy and available option.
