Tips and Tricks for Working with Tibetan Lamb for Doll Hair©
 |
You can wig your doll by creating a scull cap with the skin. My advanced patterns include directions for creating a wig using my Tibetan skin.
I do not offer a separate wig pattern...
You can also cut the hair from the skin and apply it to the dolls head using Fabri-Tac or a Thick Tacky craft glue. Use only a small about of glue and work on one line of hair at a time. Apply the hair towards the face. After the glue has set you can brush the hair back to create a very realistic hair line. |
| To re-set the curl in the hair simply dampen it with tap water and scrunch the hair with your fingers. I use a spray bottle to wet the hair. When rewetting dyed hair some discharge will occur. Caution should be used to avoid dyeing your hands and clothing. |
| Use a hair pick for permed hair or a wide toothed comb to untangle the hair. |
| Just about anything you can do to human hair you can also do with Tibetan lamb skins/hair. |
| This includes Dyeing, Curling, Using Hair Care Products (wax, hair spray, mousse Etc.) to manipulate the hair. |
| You can set the curl in the hair using tap water and curlers or perm rods. You can also use a curling iron to straiten, set or soften the curl. |
| To get a wind blown look apply a little water or hair wax, manipulate the hair with your fingers using a hair dryer to set the style. |
| If you wet the skin please do not dry the skin in direct sunlight. This will cause the skin to stiffen making it difficult to work with. |
| If you sew the skin use a dull needle to remove the hair from the sewn seam line. |
| To avoid cutting the hair cut only through the skin. |

Please remember the Tibetan lamb skins are a natural product and contain lanolin. Variations in color are a natural occurrence and should not be thought of as a defect! |
