Wig size

Post by ik00876 »

Hi folks, I'm new here. Yesterday got my new 157cm doll, with factory red wig which is obviously low quality. Hairs fall out and the wig's straps already left black marks on her had which I have to clean off somehow.
Looking to buy a new wig, but being clueless about wigs I have to ask: what is the size that I need to buy, are there any other features to look for, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Try the site Wigsis for good information on measuring for wig size. They have a great selection of wigs, and they sell them in 3 sizes. A lot of doll heads should have a petite size, which they offer. When you buy wigs at Amazon you don't get to choose a size, often resulting in wigs that are too big.

Thanks!

I see that there are many wigs that cost above $100, I am quite reluctant to jump into the deep water with that. Any advice for the beginner? Obviously human hair would be expensive, but perhaps some synthetic type would be a good compromise.

I've gotten dozens of wigs off eBay and Amazon. They all have the same adjustable hooks, but I use the most outer hook catch for all my dolls 140+cm.

Some of my $16-$22 wigs are excellent. They don't shed and they feel silky. I have some $8-$11 wigs that have styles that I couldn't find in the higher price range, but they either shed or feel like plastic or both. The default wigs that came with my dolls I would say are about $12 in comparison. The nicest $20 ones were listed with 3 digit codes. Like "ombre 580". Not sure of the exact number, but I believe most started with a 4 or 5.

I also got some foam mannequin heads to hold extra wigs. I got 12 for $26.

Thanks for opinion!
I am currently researching everything I can about wigs, pretty confused.

BTW, people, I can't send PMs now because I'm new. Guess it's spam protection. No disrespect meant.

Look for kanekalon - it's the newest and best wig fiber material and much softer than the older materials without costing more. Highly recommended.

I've finally bought two wigs from AliExpress, one curly for about $23 and one blonde straight for about $14.

Both look good.

I've taken my doll's heads to wig shops and actually tried on the wigs to see what they would actually look like on the doll. The staff didn't freak out; I said it was a mannequin. I found one nice wig on clearance for $15 and another one at the regular price of $39. These wigs weren't "cheap"; they were better quality than those that came with the doll.

There are two solutions to the staining problem:
1) use a light brown wig cap
2) keep the head covered and the staining won't show.

I've been quite happy with the wigs I've gotten from this place. They range in price from very affordable to those that are well heeled.
