I came here doing search for your eyelashes, found this under different repair post, hope it helps.

Samara,
What process would you suggest to remove eyelashes from a TPE doll?
When people get MF eyelids for a doll already made, this is a vital step.
Love,

Hi there Nyoko. I like to apply some rubbing alcohol soaked into a pad place
just above and on the eyelash let set for a bit then look for a loose end.
You can then apply some baby oil and gently lift the eyelash with a tweezer
repeat ech step as needed. Do not rush to avoid damaging your doll.

I use rtv 4500 silicone in a little tube. It is called sil-bond
I clean the area where the eyelashes would go with 50% iso rubbing alcohol,
clean the edge of the lash with acetoneb wait 15 minutes apply silicone to
the eyelid with a toothpick wipe of said toothpick and gently press the eyelash
in place. Have the eyes installed for this bit


This might help. The rtv mentioned is black in color, so okay for eyelashes, but I'm not sure about bonding nails and pubic hair. Samara is very experienced in repairs so that's who I would ask.

Is the pubic hair glued on or is it "injected" like with a hollow needle and then trapped in the TPE strand by strand?
