Wig caps have arrived! I have custom half sizes in wig caps. I am working on the wefted mohair. Loose tendral wool and mohair will be available soon!
DOLL WIG MAKING STEPS & TIPS
You may use just about any fiber to make a doll wig. I have tried many suppliers and will have for sale those that I found to be a quality fiber and to the correct scale & texture for a doll wig.
You will need a metal dog comb and less than one oz of tendrals to start.
I have skipped a few steps that will be added later this week when I can photo the steps.
This shows the inside of a wig cap as the wefted strips of fiber have been added.
I use twice the amount of a normal weft to sew the part. This is two, double wefts sewn together with a machine. This will make sure there are no bald spots on the doll hair part.
Modeling the finished wig is my Ultimate Tour Blythe with her full head of hair underneath. I have carefully put her hair into a Cool Cat Blythe hair net.
Once the wig was fully assembled, I washed it in Aveda shampoo. I like to use only natural ingredients on any handmade wig with natural fiber. This last washing you do just as a human head. You will get even more dirt off in this last step. I carefully support the wig and try to keep the fibers in generally the same direction that they were sewn on in. Rinse under the faucet. Then I condition the wig in the same manner, rinse and let air dry.
Please feel free to email me with your needs. I have most everything in stock, but am just working on photographing the items.
