Dollyhair questions

I have quite a few of those colors http://dolfielittles.typepad.com/blog/2 ... party.html so you can compare it to what her site shows. Mine is a natural light and there is a slight difference.

The first picture is
top row Brilliant Pussycat, like the regular but sparkle, Stormy Sky which has a greenish tinge, Snowflake glowing white, Oyster Shell which is stunning you might as well order, Tiramasu, English Toffee.

second row Camouflaged, brilliant black, Raincloud (which is a good match for Ghoulia Monster and I know a few others), Peaches and Cream, Starlight which is so pale it almost looks white, and Moonlight.

third row grab bag colors, the pinks are a blend. The blue has a sticker that said Sapphire.

Pillarbox Red is a true red http://dolfielittles.typepad.com/blog/2 ... adora.html and I think she says Ferrari can run if it gets wet.

Being Halloween time start looking for wigs on sale to harvest and go to Dollar Tree (that name only) stores and look in the toy section for headbands with hair on them. They have some stunning colors, you need 1 for a Barbie most Obitsu and Volks size head, 2 for a Monster. I've also used rainbow neon colored hair clips with braids they sell in the party section of Target. You need about 12 clips for a Barbie/Obitsu size, 24 for a Monster.

Okay, it's been taking about a month for magkelly to get the hair. I understand she is only one person and has been going through rough times, so I'm not mad at her. Magkelly, thank you for the tips and links. It's difficult for me to root doll hair too because I have bad neuropathic pain all over from cancer treatments. It makes my hands painful and difficult to move correctly.

Iwa_Hoshi, thank you for the picture and store link. Those are really helpful for comparison.

DollyKim thank you for your pictures, descriptions, and links. It really helps a lot to see your pictures of the colors in the bag and on the doll. Your descriptions are really good and have nice colors, and it helps me narrow it down a bit I think. Oyster Shell is stunning. You have some good ideas of places to look for hair, and thanks for the info of how many to buy for each type of doll.

Thank you, DollyKim. I have original characters that I want to make, so I have specific colors in mind. I want to find the right shade for my characters since they are very important to my heart. There are a lot of colors my sister and I wanted to sample eventually so we can decide on our orders, but if anyone can help in any way, I'd appreciate it tremendously.

I've ordered and rooted dolls in several of those colors---I can post photos of the finished dolls if you'd like to check the coloring? I try to make sure the pictures depict the colors accurately.

Wow SetsunaKou, if it's not too much trouble, that would be wonderful, thank you.

(I added more colors to the list that my sister said she wanted to see.)
