Question about RestoreDoll hair...

Guest
About how much is one skein? Like how much of a mane reroot will it do? Like say I wanted to use the entire skein for a super long mane, would it be enough?

Also, what about the tail? (a super long tail...like Aloha Pearl?)

Any tips would be muchly appreciated!
 
restoredoll hair

A skein should be more then enough for a super long hair do - most of my ponies have manes and tails to the ground and probably a few inches beyond done from one skein of restoredoll hair (I usually buy mine in the 10 skein deal they have so I'm not sure if those are smaller skeins then what you would get if you bought a single color rather then a combo deal but the combo deal skeins are plenty big for a full adult extra long pony hair do.)
 
The thing with restoredoll hair is that if you make thick plugs and like to make your ponies to have really full manes and tails, one skein won't last through both mane and tail in super long hair form. I think if you want to make a super long hair, better get at least two skeins of that color, or you will end up running out or having a very thinly haired pony. Now if the pony is a baby, you could probably pull it off with one skein. You are in luck though. The smallest amount of hair you can buy from restoredoll is one color but you get two skeins, I believe. It's about five fifty or somewhere thereabouts... Good luck with your pony making!
 
thanks for the help!

I'm a little confused though...so 1 skein would be good for a mane, and about 1 skein would be good for a tail (for super long hair)? And restoredoll gives 2 skeins with each unit order (which is the $5-$6). Does that sound about right?

I can do the entire pony with a long hair style with 1 skein. Here's an example of a custom I did using a single skein of restoredoll's Platinum white -

cheeZpoofs is talking about if you order one color of hair on restoredoll.com you get two skeins of that color of hair. I usually don't just order one color of hair when I buy from restoredoll so I go for their 10 skein special where you get 10 skeins of hair in whatever color you want - you can also ask them to do a custom blends for you - for $26.50ish. I think if you just order one color it runs about $5-$6 per color. If you're still confused go take a look at their site and scroll through there product offerings and it should make a little more sense. I guess what you could do if you're nervous about running out is order the one color that you want (you'll get 2 skeins that way and that will be more then enough hair for a single pony) and see how much you use so that when you go to order again you'll know how much to get.
 
thanks for the advice mcwolfe, and everyone else!

I think I have a good idea of how much hair I need to buy now. :D
