Country BearsI'm doing something totally off the beaten track, well for me anyway!! I want to create a mohican on the bear I'm making, have any of you got ANY ideas on what I could use to stick the mohair up?? Hair gel....? 
Fabric stiffener?
What about diluted pva glue? I think that's how Sandra Wickenden achieves her 'wet look' bears.

Dry wax for human hair? I use this on my hair to make it stand up.......works great! 
College Place, WAHair Mousse works great but you can brush it out.
Hi Clare
How about Acrilic Varnish? I use it to seal my bear noses and have to be careful not to touch the Mohair or will stiff-up. I will put a little at a time on the area you want it and comb it trough. The good thing about it is that if you don't like the effect before it drys, just take it off with watter.
Bear hugs and Golly smiles.

Hi Clare
You can use gel on mohair - it's great when you have bits of fur that are stubbornly going the wrong way - but you have to be careful to use one that is alcohol free. I know that John Renpenning the Canadian artists uses a brand which he sells in his workshops but I don't know what it is. However, unless you use lots, I think it may soften over time.
The "nose shine" probably would work - you'd probably just need to work out a system to hold the hair up while it dries.
