It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.Dismiss Notice

Wigs
There are several popular types of wigs.
Contents
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. [Due to the fact that "mo" is fur in Cantonese, Chinese.]
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.
Human Hair
Though somewhat uncommon for doll wigs, occasionally human hairs are used to make the wigs for dolls. As such, they can undergo any of the same treatment as regular human hairs; bleach, perm, coloring, curling, styling, etc.
