How to choose from hair transplant and hair set doll that suits you?
What is a hair transplant doll?
Hair transplant doll refers to the process of artificially implanting hair into the scalp one by one during the production of silicone head. This process requires a lot of time and effort, so the price of hair transplant doll is relatively high.
Why can hair be implanted into the head of a doll?
This is because the overall texture of the head made of silicone is relatively hard, with high toughness and strong shaping ability. When workers manually implant hair, the surface of the silicone head sculpture is not easy to crack and can maintain the complete scalp surface.
Silicone head sculpture hair transplant is divided into real hair and synthetic hair. Real hair is real hair purchased from the market, which is implanted into the silicone head sculpture after washing. The cost of real hair is very high, and some real hair needs to be imported from abroad, so the price of dolls with real hair silicone head sculptures is the highest, usually more than 4,000 yuan per head. The price of synthetic hair is relatively low, and the price per head is about 3,000 yuan.
What is a hair-covered doll?
Hair-covered doll refers to a doll that has no hair implanted during the production process, but after the production is completed, an additional wig is worn on the doll’s head, which is also a more common form on the market.
Hair-covered dolls are usually made of TPE because TPE cannot be used for hair transplantation. Of course, silicone-headed dolls can also be made with hair-covered dolls. This is mainly to meet the needs of different users: some customers want silicone head sculptures, but do not want to pay extra for hair transplantation, so the factory retains silicone hair-covered dolls.
The price of hair-covered dolls is relatively low because there is no hair transplantation cost and time cost. The price of a TPE head is usually between 300 yuan and 1,500 yuan, and the price of a silicone hair-covered head sculpture is around 2,000 yuan.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Hair-Implanted Dolls
Advantages:
(1) Realistic. The hair-implanted silicone head looks very real, and the hairline and scalp are almost the same as those of a real person;
(2) Beautiful. The hair-implanted head makes the whole doll look very beautiful and has a very good appearance;
(3) Not easy to dye. Some low-quality wigs on the market may fade, and hair transplantation can avoid head dyeing.
Disadvantages:
(1) High price. As mentioned above, the price of a single head of implanted synthetic hair is already around 3,000 yuan, and the price of the entire doll will be even higher;
(2) Not easy to clean and maintain. The implanted hair is tightly connected to the entire head. If you want to clean the hair, you need to remove the entire head from the body, and you need to pay attention to makeup and prevent water from entering when washing;
(3) Single. The hairstyle cannot be changed after the hair transplant, and can only be cut short or simply trimmed;
(4) For factories, the hair transplant process is manual, so it is easy to have defective products, which increases corporate costs.
Advantages and disadvantages of hair-covered real dolls
(1) Low price. There is no additional hair transplant fee, so the price is relatively low, and it is also suitable for customers with a limited budget;
(2) The hairstyle can be changed at will. Customers can buy many wigs to change different hairstyles for the doll;
(3) Easy to clean. Remove the wig and wash it separately without damaging the doll’s head.
(1) Not realistic enough. The hair cover allows you to see the exposed scalp from different angles. Without hair roots, it doesn’t look very real, and the experience is not very good;
(2) The head of the doll is easily injured. Because the wig is easy to fall off when worn on the head, it is easy to scratch the head. The color of some wigs will also stain the head of the doll;
(3) Wigs are easy to age. If you don’t pay attention to maintenance, the wig is easy to be damaged.
How to choose?
First, if the budget is sufficient, you can try a hair transplant doll, because it is very realistic and worth buying. If the budget is low, it is best to choose a real doll with hair.
Second, refer to personal preference. If you pay more attention to the appearance, silicone hair is slightly cheaper and is the best choice. If you have no requirements for the fidelity of the real doll, you can choose TPE hair, which is very cheap.
Furthermore, mention the purpose. If you buy a real doll mainly for physiological reasons and don’t pay attention to appearance, then you can choose a real doll with hair, which is cheap and can be replaced when it is not fresh. If you like photography, role-playing, dressing up, and use real dolls as your models, then it is best to choose a real doll with hair transplant.
