I tried to make a simple slide using the plastic reusable punched out slide and a sticky tape from the roll.
I plucked my own hair out (ouch!) and placed the hair bulb (root attached and in the middle of the slide), using a piece of the sticky tape to secure the hair.

I’ve learnt lots more term now regarding the hair. The diagram below is taken from: http://slideplayer.com/slide/9471691/
