Amber's Wig

Postby mochi.kochi » Tue Feb 05, 2013 1:20 am

Finally!

Her wig is made of tibetan wool and pattern from AntiqueLilac tutorial.

I want her hair to be a liiiittle less poofy up front. I read somewhere that the skin will shrink if it gets wet but then in the tutorial she washed her hair,styled then air dried it. So now i'm confused if I should wash Amber's hair or not.

Any tips guys?

Next up, face up :D

It looks great! You can wash it but you have to be very careful as the skin will shrink when wet. Like a pair of leather gloves. Try not to soak it and have it dry on your dolls head so that it keeps its size. Also, try to have a wig cap or something else to make a the head a little bigger than normal so that it doesn't shrink to the point of being to tight on the head. Also, while wet it will smell like a wet dog.

I tried washing a scrap last night and measured it (lol) and it didn't shrink, which is good XD. I wasked the wig this morning with just cold water and little bit of those hotel shampoos. Thanks for that, i was thinking if I should leave it on her head or take it off. Definitely leaving it on now XD Just in case.

Smell didn't bother me as I used to wash cats and dogs during summer XD Washing 5 dogs and a couple of cats has me immune XD

Washed and styled her hair a bit

The bangs are brushed back and braided. I bought some small hair clips with a flower on top to see it it will fit her. If not, Eden will be happy then XD

Very cute!

What kind of doll is she?
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@
