Hi - I'm trying to find a better technique for drawing things where you want an stroke and a fill, however, the stroke does not match the object's perimeter. See the image below for an example, in this case simplified hair.

The first image is incorrect since the strands of hair should not have a stroke at the bottom

The second is "fixed". But to do this I had to make each strand of hair as fill only, then create a second object for each strand which is stroke only. In this simple example its no big deal, but if you have 50 strands of hair, it is. And ever time you try to edit a strand, you have two objects to change, AND they have to match.

Wondering if anyone has a better technique for this? How do you handle this type of situation?

Thanks in advance!

You don´t need a closed path to give it a fill:

Awesome, thanks!

I've also dealt with this situation in the past by using a gradient on the stroke - though that does depend largely on how you want the ends of the lines to appear.
