Wigs & eyes
Wigs and eyes change a doll's look more than anything else. Measuring correctly saves time and money.
DOLLSN Original In-House Heat-Resistant Wigs & Color Chart
Every DOLLSN wig is crafted with DOLLSN's own original design and in-house production method. Made from premium heat-resistant fibre, our wigs can be styled just like the product photos as well as many other versatile looks, while maintaining their original condition for a long time. Refer to the official DOLLSN 42-Color Wig Chart below to find the perfect shade for your doll.
Measuring wig size
BJD wigs are sized by head circumference in inches. Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and over the back of the head, then match the result to the wig size (for example 7-8 or 8-9 inches). If you are between sizes, choose the larger one and tighten it with a wig cap.
Wig caps
- Stretch caps fit a range of sizes and are the most common.
- Hard caps keep their shape and suit structured styles.
- A thin silicone or fabric wig cap under the wig prevents slipping and helps protect the resin from dye stains.
Wig fibres
- Synthetic fibres are affordable, easy to care for and can be heat-styled at low temperatures if heat-resistant.
- Mohair (natural goat hair) looks soft and realistic but is delicate and can tangle and shed.
- Other natural fibres such as alpaca or sheepskin are used for fluffy, curly styles.
Eye size
Eyes are measured by their diameter in millimetres. Check the head's recommended size, since the eye opening matters more than the body size. Some eyes also list the iris size: a larger iris gives a younger, cuter look, a smaller iris a more mature look.
Eye materials
- Glass: deep and realistic, but heavier and fragile.
- Urethane: light, clear, durable and affordable, though it may cloud over time.
- Resin: often handmade with rich, artistic iris designs and a glossy dome.
How to Put On Wigs Easily: Velcro, Silicone Caps & Ponytail Tips
Follow DOLLSN's official step-by-step methods to put on any size wig smoothly and keep it securely in place during posing and photography.
- Basic 6-Step Wig Fitting: (1) Check the crown point of the doll's head → (2) Press the crown of the wig against the head's crown → (3) Hold the wig net rim with both hands and pull firmly downward toward the nape of the neck → (4) Neaten the bangs and side locks with your fingertips.
- How to Use Velcro Dots: DOLLSN includes a thin Velcro patch with our dolls. Attach only the rough hook side to the very center of the head cap—your wig will stay firmly in place even if the doll is held upside down. (Be careful not to snag delicate wig fibres on the Velcro, and pull the wig down firmly when fitting.)
- How to Put On a Silicone Wig Cap: (1) Hold the front edge at the forehead and pull the back over the head → (2) Press down so there is no air gap at the crown → (3) Pull both sides snug over the head-cap seam line → (4) Because silicone creates grip friction, hold the crown down with one hand while pulling the inner wig net firmly over the cap.
- How to Put On Ponytail Wigs (#006, etc.): Align the crown and front bangs first, lightly pull the back down, then hold both the front bangs and back hair and gently wiggle back and forth 2–3 times while pulling down slowly so the ponytail tie stays neat.
DOLLSN Wig Styling Tips: 3 Ways to Style Bangs & Curl Wig Restoration
Thanks to DOLLSN's signature wig construction, you can restyle bangs in 3 different ways without water or styling products, and restore curly wigs using only clean water.
- 3 Bangs Styles Without Water: (1) Classic Full Bangs (smoothly combed straight down) · (2) Center-Pinched "M" Bangs (gently pinch the center locks together with your fingertips—no water needed) · (3) Side-Swept Parted Bangs (sweep the bangs to the side with your fingers for an effortless side part).
- Adding Volume to Curl Wigs (Finger-Combing): To transform calm natural waves into fuller, more mature curls, spread your fingers and comb through the curls 2–3 times with your fingers. Never use a regular comb or brush on curly wigs.
- Restoring Loose Curls (No Wax or Spray—Water Only!): Never apply hair wax or spray. Divide the hair into 4–5 sections, wet your fingers with clean water, and twist each section along the curl direction. Let it air-dry completely, then lightly shake it out for bouncy, natural curls.
