Brown hair bands, I like adding these to wraps and to my suits, because once again, they are very cheap and are an easy way to attach real foliage on site. Don't put grass root side up, it contrasts with your camouflage in a very bad way because it looks unnatural. In fact, there are 5 major points on a human outline that determine the human’s silhouette, but I will cover that more under the “shape” element.

This quick step-by-step guide to building your own ghillie suit is a great baseline, but you may want to add/change some things to better suit your environment as each and every AO is unique and will have its own set of needs to blend in correctly. The second step is to use your scissors or knife to fray about the last 1” on both ends of each piece of 550. When you have that massive pile of 550 cord strands, remove the 7 white strings inside, known as the “550 guts”.
