#1. You probably haven't spent enough time brushing the leg hair with a Rice Root brush.
#2. You probably are using too much adhiesive.  Try Very quick sprays from about 10" and immediately comb that area up and forward.

Agree
less is more when it comes to glue!  When you think that you have spent enough time breaking leg hair...... keep doing it for a while longer.

I think you should invest in a roto fluffer. It makes working the hair easy. Listen when they say multiple light coats of glue is better. Finally when you have it all groomed right set it with some tail adhesive or a good coat of prime time.

i always think of this as actually changing the direction of the hair root rather than breaking the hair. this may actually be wrong, but the deeper the "break", the more effective, at least for me.  if you watch people do this, the spray a little, comb, spray a little, comb.  it takes a little practice not to put too much on.  i'm pretty sure that girls and some boys that put on mascara in a nice even way are pretty good at legs.

i never got to use a roto brush and just always rinsed, brushed, repeat.

gonna start practicing this fall again.  should be frustrating.

One thing I see people forgetting to do is to break that hair loose at the show when you start fitting.  Use a plastic message/wash brush or just a comb and go thru the hair and break it loose before you start to glue the leg.  Then a little glue and a lot of comb and don't get in a hurry.  Hope it helps and good luck.
