I am currently trying to model curly hair on this model. To simulate it I have been placing and duplicating these brown shapes you see here, but its very slow and time consuming. Is there a quicker way to do this?
Thanks!

You can use particles > Hair. Create a sphere that will be your particle hair. In Weight Paint mode, paint the vertex group where you want the particles to appear:
In the Particle System panel, create a new particle system > Hair, under Render choose the sphere and give it a bit bit of Scale Randomness. Under Vertex Groups select the vertex group that you've created as Density and Length:
If you want to make the instances real, open the Modifier panel and click on Make Instances Real:

$\begingroup$ thank u for ur answer! The only problem I now have is the hair is only populating on one side--could this be an issue with the mirror modifier? $\endgroup$– nmg112Commented Sep 23, 2022 at 17:52

$\begingroup$ because the issue I have when I get rid of the mirror modifier is it fills in unevenly then $\endgroup$– nmg112Commented Sep 23, 2022 at 17:59

$\begingroup$ You can keep the Mirror modifier if you want, check the answer here: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/88395/… Basically put the Mirror modifier above the Particle System and in the Particle System panel enable the Emission > Source > Use Modifier Stack option $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 23, 2022 at 18:01

$\begingroup$ Thanks--that worked for me being able to keep the mirror modifier on, but its still filling it in uneven on both sides.
