    3. I have made several wigs out of sheepskin. My husband is going to cut his hair before long, and has offered it to me to make a wig out of. Have to tint it, tho.It's very thick, but lots o' grey.

    5. I think it depends on the doll image. One of my doll has fur and one has just regular doll hair.

    6. well my Hana fiber wig is a nightmare! it is never neat, so i think i will get her a furry wig sometime. and Will is going to have a snythetic but a kaloken one if you have ever had an american Girl doll thats the stuff their hair is made of (alot easier to handle IMO)

    7. I prefer fur, but fiber wigs are okay, too. Real human hair seems out of scale for my boy (1/4 sized). And, is a little expensive for my taste. I love fur wigs because they're sooo fun to style! :D And some are realllyy soft.

    8. I would prefer fiber cause it feels nicer in my hands and is easier to care for. Although I do like the mohair cause it is so soft to the touch and is great for the "just got out of bed" look. I'm somewhat against using real human hair cause I think human hair should go for making wigs for people with cancer cause they need a more realstic looking wig during their cancer treatments than a doll needs.

    9. I love fur and mohair wigs. They're easier to shape and style, IMO, and they don't get as tangly or as difficult to deal with as fiber wigs.

    10. I have all sorts, but I alwasy come back to my synthetics.

      I have several types, from various companies, but my favorite is still the default one that came with my Volks Dollfie Dream. Its lovely- well styles, and easy to maintain. ^_^

    11. I like fiber hair normally because it's comes into styles and colors that I enjoy.

    13. Engel's wig is Human hair and once I start on making Nibbles' wig he'll probably be human as well It's just easier to do in my opinion when you want to do different styles.

    14. I prefer fur wigs, but finding one with the right colour and one that sits right can be pretty hard. I prefer fur wigs for male dolls would be the right statement. I think it gives them a more masculine look. Even my El looks like a boy with a fur wig.
      But I do like fiber wigs for length and elegance.
      Not fond of human hair wigs. Tangled too easily and they just don't feel like dolls hair, which I like.

    15. I tend to like synthetic hair, but I do have some dolls with human hair. I also like synthetic mohair on some dolls. Barb. (in L.A.)

    16. I like synthetic mohair wigs best like Jpop's brand of wigs and the Monique wigs which are carried by a few shops. They're soft and silky and they don't get tangled. They also style really well. Second place goes to the dread wig I made of wool yarn. Fur wigs come in third place, mohair in fourth.

      I'm not as wild about other fiber wigs. I have a few I love like the Yukinojo default wig and the default V.1 Isao wig, a silver one I got from Dolkot and the black page boy I got from Leeke.

      I don't have any human hair wigs, but if the style/color/price was right I'd give them a try.

    17. Right now I like the fur wigs, they seem to be able to make really cool looks. But then I might like to use the real ones to give a natural look.

    18. I usually like longer hair, so most fur wigs won't work on my characters (although they do have some... they don't wear them often). So mostly fiber, since I like the colors and the length and the variety of styles. Mohair is very nice, too, although it only works for a certain look. I don't come across many human hair wigs. I'm not against them, but so far I haven't bought any. Fiber seems to work well enough for me. :)

    19. I must admit, i've never understood the craze of FUR wigs. There must've been 5 dolls with fur wigs at the doll meet... sure, theres lots of variety in colour and length... but not pose. it tends to look weird and sheep-like if brushed down, or scarily troll like if brushed up...

      Elina has a synthetic fiber wig... Being a cosplayer, i've experienced this type of wig before, so I understand flexibility and maintenence a whole lot more than other kinds of wig.
