Making polymer clay not stick together after baking?

I'm making a female figure and I have the face done in super sculpey and already baked. I want to sculpt the front part of her long hair right on top of the face with another polymer clay but I want them to be separate pieces once baked because it would be easier to sand and paint that way. However, if I bake the hair sculpt that is directly connected to the face, I believe it will fuse together, and I don't want that. Peeling the hair off before baking will distort it as the hair is pretty thin in some areas. Is there anything I can do? Or is there a better way to go about this?

Here's an example if I was unclear. The hair isn't exactly like this, but it's close enough.

You could try adding some talc (baby powder) to prevent the sculpey sticking to itself prior baking.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Cover the baked sculpey with foil to keep them separate.

Foil, or baking paper would work great.
