Using a tapestry needle, sew a simple running stitch across the top edge of the hair, going in and out of each stitch. Gently pull on the yarn tail to tighten and close up the top opening of the hair.

Tighten the bottom of the hair a little using the same method as for the top, so that the hair fits better on the head.
