Nipple fading:

Finger tip fading:

Original wig: Which has a ''loop'' to connect with the small safety pin that's on the head however it still comes lose. I also don't know how the 2 ends are supposed to be used, they can be connected but i can't find a instruction anywhere

Here's the wig Vicky currently loves and how i have it attached:

it's actually horrible this way since the 2 ends seem to leave a mark in the pluche but this way it seems to stay on the head pretty good.

Everything i have atm is original stuff or extra wigs from the site i got them from.
This short wig also seems to become knoted though, just bought a comb for girls to keep it nice.

Yep, sure did. The pic earlier today in this thread was style #1, this here shows her current style:

And since I did not consider her lips really nice and kissable (too hard and cold for me, sry), she got new ones:

Also that black hairdo did not work out too well, but as for the lips: White cloth, red felt, red thread, and much acetone.

Sadly because Lian got her first plush hair very early in her life with me, I can't really help with getting standard to stay on.

Not sure if i missed it but how do your wigs work?
Is it made out of metal wires or something so that it stays on the head?

There should be a ribbon sewed to the back edge of the wig. The hooks on the straps hook into the ribbon. I always end up crossing them,one side to the other.

Is this the wig that she came with?

It looks a little different than the one that came with Lexy. There are supposed to be some loops for the straps to go through so that the straps can wrap around the inside of the skull cap section. As well as evenly spaced sections of a ribbon-like material for the hooks to latch onto so that the tightness can be adjusted.
You don't want the adjustment too tight, but just tight enough to keep the wig in place. And since the elastic will lose elasticity over time, you will need to adjust it a little tighter as needed. So by having it TOO tight, you will overstretch the elastic too quickly and won't have any adjustability left.
While these aren't the highest quality wigs, I haven't had any problems keeping Lexy's in place once I figured out how to adjust the tightness. And I haven't had to use the safety pins either.

Yeah the blonde wig is what she came with. The ribbon or whatever things on the side can be connected i just dont know how to connect it around the head. Honestly there isnt much else except a safett pin on top of the head which is connectes to a small loop in the orginal wig but while sleeping it came of multiple times. The way i jave it attached now works fine. But i dont think im using it as intended. It was originally connected but when it came lose i decides to connect it under her chin. Not sure how i make it tighter but just seen a video and the strap has to go at the back on the skull. So ill try that tonight anf see how thigt i can make it. Typed on phone.

Hi gentlecuddle, welcome, This is a great forum to be on! Lots of good advice and lots of stuff on many dolls.
I just received my own new Teddy B, a Diana standard an older model, whom I’ve named Celine. I’m very impressed with my T Babe so far after knowing her for two days...

Henry869 · Post by **Henry869** » Wed May 15, 2019 5:16 pm

Cuddly, I hope this isn’t out of line but, I really like the black hairstyle you made in the pic below, that you posted earlier. I have just become a TB man, with a Diana standard named Celine.

That hair would be so cool for her... would you consider making and shipping one to me? I can pay by PayPal, you can pm me if you’re interested in working out details. If not, no worries! But I *had* to ask... Thanks!

Decided to put the wig as tight as i can over the skull cap and legit pierced the safety pin through the wig. Seems to stay on pretty well now, tried brushing the hair but i feel like i either need a softer brush or try to make smaller strokes. It really gives a lot of resistance when i try to comb it straight.
