Lalla has done some beautiful work modding figures to have rooted hair:

Lalla is a member of OSW, perhaps you could try to get in touch with him there? (I think Lalla is a guy).

He/She won't say. That's part of Lalla's livelihood.
Why not ask MonkeyRobotMaster?
I think he digs out trenches on the scalp around the hair line and centerline and then glues the hair in. He post a picture somewhere with the sculpt bald.
I'm going to give it a shot too.

Wow, they actually cut some lambs skin off?! :|
Thanks for the link.

Is the lamb hair as stiff as human hair or softer?

 

[elvis1976]

Actually softer than human hair and worked great for 1/6 figure.

 

[Headsmith]

Awesome.
Is it pretty easy to style?

 

[elvis1976]

Yes with some hair wax it works like wonder.
Actually the material is wa better and thinner like for example on black widow.

 

[Headsmith]

Thinner than black widow's hair?
Do you have a supplier that you like to go to?

 

[elvis1976]

Well i usually buy them on ebay

[Headsmith]

Thanks. Have you been able to straighten/curl the hair with heat or do you need to buy the needed texture?

 

[elvis1976]

Well i just srapy some water on it and use an hairdryer.
I don't see antoher way to do it.

 

[Headsmith]

Seems like it should be possible to build some makeshift curling/straightening iron.

holy crap Elvis...that is VERY HELPFUL...i was actually gonna try a different route but i will also try this because it seems simple enough....but thank you for the link...

That's one of the best on the web IMO. They have a lot of helpful links on their site too.

Great sellers for Lambs fur as Elvis posted. Been buying from them for a few years now.

yeah...as i get into customizing in this scale i find it difficult to try not to sculpt something....but this roting of hair is very hard...same goes with the skin tones...and then to try and match them to their bodies...WHEEEEW!!!

Levit,

There are several tutorials for various types of hair application at the 1/6 Warriors forum that I found. Here

Hope that helps.
