Lay a lock of hair in the middle of the beard. Overlap the top line of your stencil so that you cover the extra inch of adhesive above. Use your fingertip to gently spread the lock of hair out a bit. If you get rubber cement on your fingers, rub your fingers vigorously together to make the glue ball up so you can pick it off.
Continue to lay locks of hair into the glue and arrange them carefully so that the hair is spread relatively evenly. Don't worry too much about gaps at this point, as we will add another layer.
