I just hold onto the mat with my left hand an grab a couple of pinches of cornstarch with my right hand and plop it on the mat-a little more if necessary-whatever it takes to completely cover the mat. Then I mush it into the mat with the fingers of both hands and gently- with both hands tease the mat apart. It should pull apart effortlessly. Then I use a variety of tools to completely get the mat to be smooth and silky, adding more cornstarch if needed so you don's hurt your baby. Hold hair at the roots so you don't pull on their skin and gently tease the hair apart with a comb and then with a pin brush or some use a slicker brush. Whatever tools you use just make sure to use enough cornstarch on the mat, tease it apart with both sets of fingers gently-and when using tools make sure to hold hair at the root to protect the skin. You will be amazed! Good luck! Let me know how it goes
