Hair options can significantly alter the realism of a doll’s appearance. Many dolls use removable wigs or insertable hair that can be styled, swapped, or replaced to refresh the look. When choosing replacement hair, consider length, density, fiber type (synthetic versus human-like fibers), and maintenance requirements. Shorter styles may be easier to manage and keep clean, while longer, fuller hair provides a more dramatic effect but requires more care to prevent tangling and matting.
Securing replacement hair safely is essential. Use compatible wig caps or attachment methods designed for the doll’s head material, and avoid applying heat to synthetic fibers if they aren’t rated for styling tools. If you opt for human-like fibers, the care routine becomes similar to real hair care: gentle washing, conditioning, and careful detangling. Regularly check for friction at the scalp interface and adjust the fit as needed to prevent slippage or discomfort. By selecting appropriate hair options and maintaining them well, you can continuously refresh the doll’s look without compromising the head or scalp material.
