Why do so many reborn toddlers have very long hair?

Post by MonicaW »

I love,many reborn toddlers but the hair on most is way too long for the size of the doll? I like my dolls to be lifesize so would want correct amount of hair. Thank you for any help!

I too like realism
So older toddlers can look fine with medium long hair. Too long and you think 'that doesn't really happen in real life'
Younger toddlers can look really cute with short pig tails

I love toddlers with medium/long hair, not too long though...

This is my girl, that I made for my private collection. She has my own hair and I love this lenght. It isn't too long, but long enough for cute hair styles :heart:

I don't think babies look good with some of the really long & super think hair some have put on them, but I guess it is all to personal preference.
Camille your toddle is gorgeous!! Great job!
Suzanne, I think our Moms must have attended the same hair cutting class! LOL!!!
Think that is why I never like really short hair on me now even!!

Because many of the customers like it! I had the hardest time selling my Ariel with shorter length hair (maybe it was the kit desirability or my job bringing it to life though-LOL!) Although I also did Fridolin and Lilli Marlaine with short hair and they sold right away.

All my long haired toddlers sold lickety quick!

I love medium-long hair because it just looks so pretty (when rooted well, of course!). But you make a good point, Monica.

AWESOME! Using your own hair on your doll is very special! Wish people would offer custom rooting using human hair. I don't think I saved enough from my children but would love to have a doll made this way!
