I have long tweezers. First I cut the hair as short as possible, and save any usable trimmings for other dolls, then I go in and scrape along the inside of the head. You will be amazed how much cat blarf is in there. By feeling you can tell how thick the glue is, some heads don't have that much, some have a huge amount. Some times you have to warm the head a bit in your hands or under a light. At the most extreme I've microwaved a mug or small bowl of water for no more than 2 minutes then put the bak of the head in it.
For buying hair I use 6 as a factor for the 38" hanks, 1 cut in 6 pieces is shoulder length, 2 cut in 3 pieces each for butt length, Spectra has 3 hanks each cut in half.
