We at Shimmerlocks are very happy to present our new 1.5 mm braided nylon doll hair.  This is an actual three strand braid and not just a double twisted strand. This hair type is as new to us as it is to you, so please bear with us as we continue to learn about this product to offer you the best information and tips we can!


Bittersweet is a dark brunette/brown nylon doll hair for rerooting, custom rehairing, or restoration. It's lighter and cooler than our Rich Truffle color.  A size #1 needle is needed to reroot braids, as they are much thicker than the traditional single strand. You will need to be careful to prevent tearing of the scalp with this larger needle size.  Only reroot every 3rd plug and make sure to prepoke each plug with an awl or thumbtack right before going into the hole with your size #1 needle.  Warming the scalp with a hair drier or placing it on a warmer can also help soften the vinyl.

Nylon is a gorgeously soft and shiny fiber that holds curls very well and looks stunning on any project! Our nylon is made specifically for dolls/toys and will separate into plugs suitable for rerooting. It comes straight from the manufacturer that supplies Hasbro, MGA, and many of the world's leading toy companies.


Properties:

-Can be dyed

-Can be boil or cool water permed

Amount Required:

Estimates are for a finished length of around 4.5 inches (chest length on a regular 11 inch fashion doll), assuming you only reroot every third plug.  Rerooting more thickly or longer lengths will require double or triple the amount depending on your desired final length.
