Body hair customization adds texture, character, and a touch of realism to a doll’s silhouette. Start with a plan: decide the density, direction, and placement that suits the body’s contours and the intended aesthetic. For a subtle look, aim for light, even coverage along the arms, legs, and torso, paying attention to natural hair growth patterns. If you want more drama, a slightly denser texture around the chest, shoulders, or lower abdomen can create a striking contrast without appearing artificial.
Choose fibers that feel realistic to the touch and are easy to care for. High-quality synthetic fibers can be styled with gentle heat or specialized wig products, but always test on a small area first. When styling, brush with a soft tool to avoid pulling or shedding. For neat maintenance, trim occasional stray hairs with small scissors and use a fine comb to maintain even distribution. If the hair looks flat, consider light teasing at the root to restore volume without creating obvious clumps.
Maintenance routines depend on exposure and handling. Regularly inspect for tangling or matting, especially in areas that rub against fabric or skin. Gently wash with a mild, pH-balanced cleaner and air-dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh dyes that can degrade the fiber’s integrity. For seasonal changes, you may adjust the density to reflect a new look, ensuring the style still remains practical for daily use.
