craftgrrl | Help with fake hair (kanekalon)

Okay, well, I bought a bunch of JUMBO BRAIN SUPER SILKY 100% KANEKALON fake hair to use in an art project.
This stuff is driving me crazy.
It's all messy and knotting up and blah blah blah.

ANYWAY.
I was wondering:
What is the best way of tying/attaching the hair to stuff?
I tried melting it, but it won't even melt! ARG.
I also tried doing a couple of types of knots (square, overhand, and that one where you loop it over and feed the end back through the loop)

I'm trying to attach all the hair across a wire frame, a sort of "hair-net" if you will.

Anyway, yeah.
Is it possible to melt it? or tie it so it won't detach? Or something??

(HERE IS A PICTURE SO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT SORT OF: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/robak/hairnet1.jpg so i am attaching the hair as a spot on the frame, and then stringing it across to various points, and knotting it on itself, etc)
