The
instruction below will help people who try to sew the hair for their dolls. You
can adjust the steps based on your personally habits.
How
to take off the original scalp
Use a
utility knife along the joint of scalp and head to cut them apart. When cutting
the front, be sure not to hurt the doll’s face. There are three tendons on the
edge of scalp. One is wider in the front, and two are on the back sides.
When cutting the scalp, remember to exert cutting off the tendons and leave them
in the head, or do as step 5 - cut the tendons off after tearing apart the
scalp. (Sometimes you don’t need to cut the tendons to take off the scalp, but
sometimes you have to, because the origin glued on the tendons and it made it
difficult to take the scalp off.)
Along the joint of scalp
and head, use iron ruler or screwdriver to assist to pull open the scalp.
Attention: Do not press
the head to unclench the scalp, in case causing doll’s head broken.
Unclench the scalp just
like unclench the coconut. Do not pull the hair to pull off the scalp, in case
of damage on scalp. Attention: If you do not completely cut the scalp apart, you
may pull off the plastics inside the head as well. If you can’t pull off the
scalp well, cut if one more times and then pull again.
Cut off the outer edge
which is used to insert to the head. This step is for easily sticking the scalp
back. However, it will cause a chink between scalp and head. It doesn’t matter.
Cut the original hair off
completely.
Reverse the scalp and use
a pincher to remove and uproot the rest of hair.
There’s a layer of lacquer
on original scalp. If the lacquer color doesn’t fit the color of the hair which
you’re going to sew, you can use Acrylic remover to wipe it off.
Wipe both inside and
outside. Then rinse by water for final cleaning.
Sewing from down to
top.(i.e. from edge to top of scalp) You can choose to cut the weft hair and sew
it on the scalp layer by layer, or not to cut the hair but sew it in spiral way.
( there’s no special request on sewing method, as long as you can combine the
weft hair with scalp.)
The distance between hair
layers maintains around 1cm. Each stitch also maintains 1cm distance from
others.( Depending on personal preference, if you prefer thick hair, you can
shorten the distance to make hair layers closer.)
When sewing the top,
please shorten the distance between layers in order to increase the hair volume,
and avoid looking bald.
how to make the
top of head
(1)Take a length of
10~15cm weft hair, bind it to a bunch, and fix it by thread.
(2)Pierce a 0.5cm diameter
hole right in the middle of the scalp. (scalp is flexible, do not need a big
hole)
(3)Insert the bunch of
weft hair in the hole and apply the glue inside the scalp to fix the hair.
how to make the bangs
Separate from the middle,
using the elastic band to pinion weft
Iron the hair through a
layer of cloth in low temperature. Every time takes 2~3 minutes to iron. Total
around 5-6 times. Do not take off the elastic band until the next day. If the
hair is still not natural, repeat the steps above.
how
to fix the scalp on the head
apply
glue along the inside edge of scalp, pay attention to the front-back
directions, put the scalp on the head, and tie the scalp and head with elastic
band. Then wait for the glue dry.
Attention:
If the thickness of weft
hair is too thick to stuff, you can use a pincher to assist.
Do not use a hair dryer.
It will damage the weft hair.
Do not directly iron the
weft hair. It will cause damage.
