Actually,
Awesome Hair can be tied similar to polar hair and Enrico Puglisi's hair, or it can be bunch-tied and broken out. This is the main difference- the AH fibers break instead of stretching. (Hint: Save all those fibers for wing shucks on nymphs and dubbing mixers.) Depending on the body density one requires, one would choose the required technique. But new techniques are happening all the time. I'm tying some minnows now directly over pencil-popper bodies so I have a minnow that swims in the surface film and can hop out of the water like a fleeing baitfish. The head cement I use is the critical component here. Here's one site with polar-hair tying instructions. EP instructions are similar, but the kinky fibers are tied more sparsely. EP also ties in an over-under alternate fashion, and trims his tapers with a scissors.
