Doll hair

11 years ago

I'm frustrated... trying to find baby doll hair... the little wispy kinds to put on a baby... and even the types you can brush. Where do you get your doll hair from?

I don't do dolls anymore, but I needed something like that I would google for it. A few years back there were dolls stores every where that carried things like that but when the collecting fad stopped the stores closed. I found this list that might help you. The Premiere new born baby doll kits might help.

I do dollhouse dolls, and use a fine hair called viscose. It's available from minikitz.com http://www.minikitz.com/ZenStore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=165_168

There are (currently) three items on the page; I think you want either the second (shiny viscose) or third (matte viscose). Although she's talking about mini dolls in her description, I think one hank would be enough to wig several mini dolls, or to wispily wig a much larger doll. If you're worried about having enough, order extra.

I don't get anything for referring you to minikitz, but have purchased from Debbie for more than 15 years and have always gotten excellent and friendly service. She's also got lots more fun stuff on her site.

It is really hard, not worth doing, you can try dyeing, but it won't take, you can try rerooting, but that takes so many hours, and only an expert can do it. Search on customizing barbie dolls, and you will find tons of how to sites.

Hi. I just found this forum....it's great! I'm looking for dollmakers/restorers to see if the real hair I have lots of is suitable for their craft. I am not a Business. I have inherited these hair items from my Mother In Law, who was a hairdresser. They are in my Vintage shop, (although they are not vintage, but new, and unused,) along with Vintage items, also inherited. If this link is against the rules here, please forgive me. I just need to find someone who could use them. I certainly will not trash them out for the landfill! The first link is human hair plugs, in many colors. The others are extension sets and individual pieces, that can be used to create wigs, also in many colors. They are priced very realistically. I hope this helps.

Is there an easy way to apply doll hair
Q

I've mostly used yarn for hair on my dolls. I take some yarn, unraveling it if I want curly hair, and cut it into even lengths. When I think I have enough, I tie a bunch of yarn lengths together with a piece of the same yarn in the middle. I then hold it to the doll's head with pins while I form the hair-do (braids, up-do, whatever). When IÂm happy with the hair, I lift the wig and put glue on the head and then gently press down the wig. Yarn can also be sewn to a piece of ribbon (same colour as the doll) and the ribbon sewn to the dollÂs head and the hair styled.

Time out doll hair

Making hair out of yarn is not hard. You can use whole strands of fine yarn for straight hair, or you can unwind thicker yarn for curly hair. The yarn hair can be stitched or glued onto a ribbon or gauze and then glued to the head, or it can be stitched straight onto the head if it's made from soft material. The simplest way is to make a thick hank of yarn and tie it together in the middle with a thread of the same yarn. Fasten this to the doll's head, gather together and make a bun or a braid at the back, pulling the strands together to cover the top of the head. Crafty College has sometimes had courses in doll hair making: http://www.craftycollege.com

Don't know if this will help but I am not above buying a wig. [second hand] I clean it well and cut it apart for whatever use I need it for. Or what about a beauty supply store if you have one around you? They sell hanks of hair, maybe that would be an option! Good luck!!--Rosie

You can find a company that makes wigs for each client.

Also natural russian hair is very soft and well-combed.

Its the sample of full lace wig:

I know this question was from a few years ago but I just came across it. There is a craft supply website that still carries some doll making supplies and has some hair that might work for you. Doll Hair at BJ's Craft Supplies
