Styling Hair

I did a little video about how I style the dolls’ hair.  It’s my own messy and chaotic method.

This a new doll without a name, but her hair was inspired by images of the British women’s suffrage activist, Christabel Pankhurst.

And here she is post-styling.

Materials

Doll — Prairie Crocus Studio, slim woman

Doll Hair — I use mohair, I believe from this shop, but they don’t sell it anymore. I just ordered more from this shop

Thread — I either match the doll or the hair depending on the style 

Scissors — my youngest recently used both of my fabric scissors to cut balsa wood, so I’m using the only sharp pair I have

Pins — I use glass ball head pins similar to these

Long needle — I use Dritz doll needles. I didn’t use one for the first few and it was such a pain.

Shorter needle — just a normal sewing needle

Hairbrush — I stole it from my son

Patience & optimism — because at some point in the process everything becomes a chaotic mess. Take a deep breath. It will be ok!
