Hair pieces for larger dolls?
I know many new to the doll lifestyle often complain about horrible wigs getting tangled, shedding and generally unmanageable. Your molded hairpieces give the impression of detail, fullness and even “flow”. I think these are a great low maintenance option on just about any doll! I really like the different colors and styles currently offered (from pixie cuts, pony tails and long styles).
Have you considered upscaling your plastic (polyurethane/rubber) hair pieces to fit larger dolls (head diameters larger than 35cm crown circumference) ? Maybe a 2 piece snap together design. These could be sold separately and perhaps even with magnetic accessories like bows, rabbit or feline ears etc!

Actually we really considered about plastic hair for the life size product. The reason we didn't do it is because it would be a little bit risky for us. For those who are not familiar with our products, they may think it's kind of 'cheap' comparing with the implanted hair.

Since nobody else chimed in; the interest maybe only with me.
It’s understandable your decision in a business sense… I’ll have to check with some of our other talented artistic members here in TDF to see if it’s possible on a smaller scale project.
