You have many options for ragdoll hair. You can choose the packages of synthetic hair or wigs. I don’t particular care for the curly synthetic hair and find it had to work with. Also when I glue the on hair (using a hot glue gun), I get glue lumps on the doll’s head. For most dolls I make I like using yarn to give the best results.
If you need curly hair, you can purchase curly yarn or use wool yarn and wrap it around knitting needles. Wet the yarn while on the needles. Let dry and remove from the needles. It makes great curly hair.
For other types of hair, you can wrap hair into loops using cardboard or your hand. You can then hand sew or glue the hair into place.
Whatever type of hair you make be sure you mark your doll’s head with tailors chalk for hair placement before stitching or gluing. There are great videos on the Internet that give you ideas on different styles of ragdoll hair.
