Which is the best hair to use?
gotta go with mohair is really soft, easy to style, but its a pain to put on.
but its worth it in the end.
mohair - i hate dying it, applying it, etc. but it looks the most authentic in the end.
My main complaint w/ it though is that it takes a lot of work to tease and style in order to get it to stay in place. Hairspray or gel is usually needed in certain areas.
My DP/AHG Shatner has camel hair and I love it!

Just kidding, I cast my vote for mohair.
When dyed mohair is prepped right it feels very much like vintage DP stuff… tough to beat it when it’s done up right. 
Camel is a quick and easy application but doesn’t have nearly the same authenticity as mohair when compared to the real DP stuff. It’s way too wirey and coarse for my taste. If you own or hold any of the old DPs with the hero hair you will see what I mean. Unless I can find the exact fiber that DP used back in the day, (which is highly doubtful) I will use nothing but good ole hand dyed mohair for Myers! It’s not at all easy to use but the results are great. I tried crepe a few times and it’s good too, but not as good as mohair thats prepped good.

In the hair classes I followed they also used Mohair!!
But you have to trim the hair to equal trenches with nailtrimmer!
