1. 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.

    2. depends on what kind of fiber you’re using! only the length of the hair can really be measured in cm though... like how long you want the hairstyle to be lol that’s up to you.

      what kind of material are you expecting to use? yarn, alpaca, synthetic, etc?

    3. If you're using pre made wefts, about 1 weft and half, depending on how thick you want the wig (so 1mt and half, or a little less)

    4. Dependents on the fiber and the style you're going for! For a basic middle part sewn wig I've used 1m~1.5m wefts (premade, synthetic fiber).

    5. I used premade wefts of straight synthetic hair for my girl and I was making a very dense wig. I ran out of the first pack (1m weft) so I bought a second one and used half of that.
      I suggest 2 meters of wefts to be on the safe side?
      Edit: it also depends on how dense the actual weft is and how closely you are going to sow them

    6. Hello,
      It depends on how long you want the hair. I suppose that you are not using the same amount of hair for an afro look and for a more less lean hair look.
      Have a nice weekend
