Changing the wig of a Blythe doll is a fun and simple process that allows you to give your doll a new look. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to change the wig of a Blythe doll:
Supplies Needed:
- New Blythe doll wig (can be purchased online or at doll supply stores).
- Tweezers or wig cap pick.
- Soft cloth or towel.
Steps:
-
Prepare the Doll: Before starting, make sure your Blythe doll is clean and free from any dust or debris. You can wipe the doll's head and face with a soft cloth or towel to ensure it's clean.
-
Remove the Old Wig: Gently lift the edges of the current wig with your fingers. Blythe doll wigs are usually secured with small glue spots or double-sided tape around the rim of the wig cap. Use tweezers or a wig cap pick to carefully lift the wig off the doll's head. Be patient and take your time to avoid damaging the wig or the doll.
-
Clean the Doll's Head: Once the old wig is removed, check the doll's head for any remaining glue or tape residue. You can use a gentle adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to clean any leftover adhesive.
-
Prepare the New Wig: If the new Blythe doll wig has a protective hairnet or mesh, remove it gently. Carefully adjust the wig to fit the doll's head shape, making sure it sits properly and covers the head evenly.
-
Attach the New Wig: Apply small dots of fabric glue or use double-sided tape to secure the new wig in place on the doll's head. Be sure to apply the adhesive only around the rim of the wig cap and not on the doll's hairline or face. Press the wig down gently to ensure it adheres properly.
-
Style the Wig: Once the new wig is secured, you can style it using a soft brush or comb. Create your desired look, such as parting the hair or adding some curls, to give your Blythe doll a unique style.
-
Let the Wig Set: Allow the wig to set and dry for a few hours to ensure it stays in place. Avoid touching or adjusting the wig during this time.
Your Blythe doll now has a fresh new wig and a brand-new look! Changing the wig is a fantastic way to give your doll a makeover and express her personality in different ways. If you want to change the wig again in the future, simply repeat these steps.
