what kind wig do you prefer( fur,fiber,real human hair?)

Jun 2, 2007

    1. Fiber and Mohair for me :)
      I like how sleek the fiber looks and the colors and sheen it has. But for the smaller dolls (puki) the mohair seems more 'in scale' than the fiber ones do. I actually really like Mohair all the way up to MSD size because it's so easily styled. I can wash it, pin it up, braid it, put it in a pony-tail etc etc. things that, to me, are harder to do with the fiber wigs which all seem to have definite parts.

      I dislike the synthetic fur hairs because they're always so short and I prefer the longer looks. I don't think I'd ever have the money for a Human Hair wig, and I don't much see the use in it when I can by Fiber wigs that are almost as good for less than half the price. :)
       
    2. Not really into mohair/fur wig atm, mostly fibre hair for my boys
       
    3. FUR! My all time favorite. It's easy to style and it reminds me of anime characters hair, which suits them because most of these dolls resemble anime style characters. My dolls have gradually switched to fur. It suits them so well and it makes the boys look slightly more boyish. :)

      My second favorite would be soft fiber wigs, like the silky ones jpopdolls sells. I've never seen that quality anywhere else; most companies' hair fiber wigs are very stiff. I don't believe I've had any experience with human hair wigs. Hair from somebody else's head? *Squick* No thanks.
       
    4. I'd have to say fiber, at least when compared to fur. I couldn't say when it comes to human hair, as I've never tried one, though it does seem nice!
       
    5. I like fiber best. It's so soft and looks great!
       
    6. I prefer fiber. Fur wigs always look stringy and dirty to me for some reason and human hair grosses me out.
       
    7. I kind of like the Monique wigs or the Dollzone shinier wigs. Fur wigs are cute but I had a bad experience with the first one I bought, it didn't fit the doll's head very well and wouldn't stay on.
       
    8. fur wigs generally dont fit well but if you buy a wig cap theyre amazing and you can do so many cute styles with them!
       
    9. I love fur wigs for boys-looks more masculine and real to me and I like that look for them. For girls, dependent of character; Tibetan long fur, heat-resistant fiber or human hair because I like to restyle the hair using low heat sometimes (straighten curly hair, freshening the curls or waves, etc-I'm a curly haired girl myself). I HATE synthetic because it frizzes and deteriorates so fast with normal care it's mind-boggling and they don't last as long style wise before you have to upgrade. But I also recommend regular usage of silicone or cloth wig caps-they save your doll's head from unsightly staining and give proper wig fit.
       
    10. I used to hate fur wigs... But now I pretty much love them. :3

      Of course, I only have boys at the moment. I've got a girl planned that will most likely wear fiber.
       
    11. I guess I look at the way the wig is styles and the quality. I'd probably buy solely on whether the style fits my doll's character.
       
    12. In general, I prefer artificial fibre hair. I don't particularly like the look of fur wigs. I like the look and feel of human hair, but I am grossed out by the idea of someone else's hair. I do, however, plan on making wigs from my own hair eventually.
       
    13. I'm a huge fan of fur wigs. I like making my own because then I know the fit will be right. They're easy to style and can be tossed in the doll carrier without worry.
      I also have several fiber wigs. Amusingly, the nicest and the worst fiber wigs are both from Monique. Their synthetic mohair is great, but it can be a nightmare with flyaways.
       
    14. I love furwigs for short hair, and fiber for long.

      i've only got one long furwig, but the long part is actually in a ponytail form, so the tail is a 'tube'.
      Otherwise, Furwigs just can't pull the long hair look imho.

      Fur is nicer for short hair cos it looks more natural and not like a gel-ed head
       
    15. I'm a fiber fan, mostly. I do like some fur wigs, though. I'd never want a human hair wig - I'd be too creeped out by the fact that it came from a complete stranger's head. I'm the sort of person who gets annoyed when my flatmates take my cutlery or plates because I don't know what they've used it for more than because they took my things.
       
    16. Fiber is number one for me! I had some of the faux fur wigs and they were a pain in the butt for me. I suck at styling them and the ones I've owned shed all over the dolls clothes. Drove me bananas. I do like how faux fur looks on boy dolls though <3
      I'd never buy human hair; knowing it was human would just gross me out. e_e; I'm a total paranoid germaphobe (sp?) too though lol. I'm glad not everyone uses the same materials though, I like seeing wigs that I can't handle owning myself heehee.
       
    17. i love human hair wigs just because of what you can do with them! and they seem to last longer. im selling mine right now to pay for a doll unfortunatly :c
       
    18. I don't like fur or mohair because I think it looks a bit weird. I didn't know there were real hair wigs, but I think it would be cool to have one.
       
    19. Fiber wigs, definitely. I have a fur wig that I love, and I plan on getting more in the future, so they're a strong second place, but fiber wigs are my favourite.

      Human hair squicks me out something fierce, and mohair bothers my sister, though I don't know if I have a reaction to it... been a long time since I handled anything made of mohair...
       
    20. I prefer fiber wigs, as the mohair/fur ones will probably be mistaken for a rat by my dogs :nowords: (Which is even more ironic considering that various people call my dogs "rats" or "vermin" sometimes.) Also, I love how shiny they are and the colors they have.

      I would pass on human hair wigs, since it's kind of pushing the envelope for me <<;
