To hold stacked and prepared hair, make your own hair holder. Take a piece of board and a spring. Stretch the spring a little and staple the ends to the board:
__OOOOOO__
Simply stack, prepare and divide the hair and put the clumps between the coils of the spring.

Subject: [VFB] Holding hair
I have a question for those of you who have used an Edgin Hair Snare. I have
one and I like it just fine. But I'd like to set up a little assembly line to
hold clumps of hair that have been cleaned and stacked. I could do this with
about thirty Hair Snares, but that would require many dollars and I'm looking
for a cost-effective alternative.
So the question is, what cheap little gizmo would you use to hold clumps of
hair securely, without crushing them? The hair clumps are about 10 millimeters
in diameter, almost half an inch.
One thing I've discovered that may be helpful to you is that when tying in a
clump of deer hair, sometimes it's overkill to secure the clump in the middle.
You end up with a flared bunch that's far longer than needed. That is, when
trimming you actually cut off more than half the flared length.
Instead, if you secure the clump at a point that's at one quarter its length,
you can cut the whole clump at the midpoint before flaring and thus get another
clump to tie in. Cuts your hair consumption in half. See if it works for you,
cause it's working fine for me.
thanks,
Mark
