Does anyone know how to make a hair doll?

Question

hi, i have heard of making a doll out of human hair and would like to, but have no idea how to go about it. if you have any sort of idea or helpful suggestions, that would be great. thanks!

Answer 1

Go to a beauty supply store and buy Wefting, the hair is stitched together in a long strip and you can simply glue it onto the dolls head. I would suggest Allene's tacky glue. It dries clear and fixable. Good Luck ;)))

Answer 2

I've never heard of making a whole doll from hair, but it may be similar to the technique shown here:

(parts of it could also be braided, I guess, after dividing into the various sections and before tying them off)

HTH,
