Werewolf / Wookiee hair attach?

[Sevv]

I was rewatching the EpIII web docs today... as you do... and after getting to the wookiee one I cant decide how something was done so I thought this is the best place to ask : )

Watching the creature shop putting the hair into the wookiee masks:

They seem to use a sort of punch to punch in each hair. They don’t seem to use any glue though, surely once you comb it all the hair would come out?

Does anyone know how each hair is kept in place? Is there a layer of glue underneath the silicone skin? Does the punch knot it in somehow?

Could someone please enlighten me?

I have a section of production Wookiee fur from ROTS and there would appear to be a remnant of some sort of adhesive at the root of it.
