I didn't understand the use of the salt and soap when dyeing. Does the salt AND the soap go into the hot dyebath? or just the salt and then I have to wash the hair with the soap? hehehe... I'm confused. And... can I dye the blond hair of my SBL the same way as you dye mohair? cause I've heard some pretty scary stories about stained bodies and faces. I would like to dye her blond hair brunette. Thanks!! Hi Melissa!!

Good luck! she may lose a little hair but generally they fluff up pretty well. treat matted mohair like a delicate wool sweater. use woolite/woolwash to clean it without agitating it much. use a wide toothed comb or your fingers to pick out the knots (this is a very slow and careful process, try not to snag/pull the hair).

This tutorials are great! They helped me a lot when I changed my RBL eyechips and she came out great! Now I have another challenge: I'm bought a customized SBL blythe with mohair but it looks very tangled and dirty. Is it possible to wash it and soften it? and after washing it, should I just let it dry in the sun, in the shadow or do I have to do something else to re-style it? Thanks a lot!!!! Cynthia Hi!

Im going for a shocking pink colour and have even gone as far as looking at wefts to cut up for the hair but cant get any long enough. Ideally i need 11 inch in either natural white or died blonde but the max i can get is about 5-6 inch. (Ideally i want really frizzy / curly) Im in the UK and pretty much everything i've bought so far has been imported - its costing a small fortune. Does anyone have any ideas??

I plan on coloring it myself as I am a hirstylist, but can't find any that looks evenly textured and white. I want it really funky. Thanks everyone.

I just finished my first mohair reroot thanks to your AMAZING tutorials! I got my gals scalp completely done in under two days!!! However, I am unsure as how to knot the hair when finished, so I can seal it. Also, I purchased my doll ready to customize (ie: I did not scalp her myself) Do I just glue it back on? Thanks so much for the tutorials and all the amazing things you place on your site! It has been very helpful! Hi Melissa! I just finished my first mohair reroot thanks to your AMAZING tutorials!
