Continue making/adding strips until the hair is as full as you wish.
This sounds possible. What kind of paper do you use, that has enough stiffness for the wrapping stage, but still tears away?
I
I suppose you could use thin paper and cardboard for the wrapping stage and remove the cardboard before sewing. Fold typing paper couple of times. Should be able to pull it away after the needle pierces it. It's been a long time since I made a rag doll.
