The basic re-hairing was simple. It combs nicely. As another reviewer pointed out, the hair can be melted together at the ends to make it easier to set the hair in the bow.
Getting the bow to hold rosin was the tricky part. The issue is that the hair is too smooth, and you need to fix that problem. I fixed it with sandpaper, (I had 130 grit, so I used 130 grit). I cut off a small triangle and bent it in half to hold it with my finger tips, and then I firmly pressed the hair together with my fingertips and haphazardly scratched the hair up and down a few times over the length of the bow. The sandpaper had a bit of the synthetic hair material on it when I was done, but none of the hairs broke or pulled out. Then I wiped it with a clean cloth.
The bow only took rosin once I had sanded the hair in this way. If you use this and you're having difficulty getting the bow to take rosin, try sandpaper on the hair. I spent hours trying to rosin the hair, clean the hair, re-rosin the hair, undo the frog, re-set the hair, re-rosin the hair, etc.... and none of that worked. I spent 5 minutes with the sandpaper, and the hair started taking rosin immediately.
