Hair styling for the doll blends technique with practical care, especially in Finland’s varying climates. Start with a high-quality wig or implanted hair piece that matches the desired look. Gentle detangling is essential: use a wide-tooth comb or a soft brush, working from the ends up to the roots to minimize breakage. If the wig is heat-tolerant, styling with low heat can create natural waves, but always keep the temperature at a safe setting to avoid singeing fibers.
Washing routines depend on hair type. Use a mild, silicone-safe shampoo and a light conditioner to restore softness. Rinse thoroughly and blot dry with a microfiber cloth before styling. Let hair air-dry in a natural position to maintain its texture. For frequent adjustments, consider multiple wigs or hairpieces that can be swapped to reduce wear on a single unit.
Climate effects matter in Finland; humidity and low temperatures can influence fiber behavior. Store wigs in breathable bags or on a dummy head to retain shape and reduce tangling during off-seasons. When storing, avoid crushing the hair and protect the scalp from moisture exposure. With careful handling, hair styling can significantly enhance the doll’s realism while keeping maintenance manageable.
