Wig options: high end synthetics? Options?
Wig options: high end synthetics? Options?
So far I have tried the wig that came with her, and a few low cost wigs.
I know how some low cost wigs feel now, and I know that the human hair ones will feel better.
1) But are there wigs that might be "in between" with respect to touch and feel?
2) If I don't see a seller pointing out the feel of a wig, should I automatically assume it will feel the same as a default Kimber (which I assume is similar to most default doll wigs)?
Thank you!

The downside is that the wig cap is too big for a lot of my dolls. I had to fold the back straps in a little and sew in a seam to shorten them. The wig is a bit heavy, so a snug fit is kind of needed. Other than that, it's a great wig.

Thanks, this lack of a difference is exactly what I was wondering about.Dollfriend wrote:All synthetic wigs I have come across pretty much feel the same to me, a sort of thin stringy plasticky feel, my guess is that a wig made of real human hair would have a more natural feel, can't really remember it's been a very long time since I felt a wig made of real hair.

Thank you. It looks very nice. Do you think other options sold by that store (maybe shorter length, personal taste) would have the same positive qualities?Hitchhiker42 wrote:This is one of my favorite wigs. I have it in 4 different colors. It feels nice to the touch and is very resistant to tangles. And when tangles do happen, they brush out easily. For the price, I highly recommend this wig.

I just want to make sure: are you saying that you've touched other wigs (maybe some lower budget wigs) and this model feels different to the touch?
With the wigs I have right now, it's hard to describe. Between my thumb and finger they feel reasonable, but if the hair brushes against my arm they feel "off." A little itchy. Definitely not something I could relax with.
LOL maybe the best real human hair would feel the same way to me, it's been a while...
