There are several popular types of wigs.


Fiber

Fiber wigs are made with synthetic fibers attached to a wig cap. They come in a wide variety of colors, lengths, and styles and are available from most doll distributors. They are the most common type of wig for BJD.

Fibers may be attached as wefts or ventilated directly into the wig cap.

Heat-resistant fiber wigs can be styled or curled using heat.

Mohair

'Mohair' can refer to several types of wigs. Some are made by using the skins of goats or sheep that have the fur still attached; others use wefts of fur or wool from these animals sewn to an cloth wig cap.

These wigs are characteristically soft, full, and curly.

Some Asian companies inaccurately refer to fur wigs as mohair.


Fur

Most fur wigs are made using synthetic craft furs rather than animal fur. Simple fur wigs may be made from 2 half-circles of craft fur, while more complex wigs may be made from many smaller pieces with elaborate darts and seams to alter the fit and style. Higher quality fur wigs tend to be hemmed around the edge for a more finished look.
