Mohair vs rooting

Postby maywong » Sun May 01, 2011 10:14 am

I finish apply mohair to one of my heads that I couldn't root. This has to be the fastest method of getting hair on a head. I did 2 heads in less than a day!

I didn't even know you could give a dolly hair without rooting or wigging..? How does this work..? You just glue it on?? I'll have to do some googling...

I'd like to know how it works too, poor Zoltan's bald head is freezing.

Here are some links that I used. I glued the hair on the head directly. It's fast, and easy. I'm very happy with the results.

Ooooh. I may have to try this. Still trying to cast the lead character in the new story -- his hair is an odd style and color, and I haven't quite pegged him down yet.

You can dye, curl, straighten and style mohair. Mohair can come already dyed or natural. Dollyhair, e-bay and etsy all sell mohair. It's very soft and easy to work with.
