Latest dollyhair order - less hair by weight - anyone else?

[Raindrop]

Be aware that Tina and her staff have been swamped with orders since the new colors were added.  I am sure she will catch up with correspondence when she can.

Okay, weighed some of the older bags I have. I have no way to confirm when these are from or confirm they are full hanks, but I beleive they are a couple of years old from on old stash and were sold to me as full hanks. Some of these bags do weight a little less, but they average around 14-15 grams, certainly not 11, or 9 :\

I'm waiting on my hair order too (but I'm not in a hurry, I usually get my orders pretty fast and I understand the backlog) but thank you for saying something. I tend to use a LOT of hair on a pony and was already debating ordering 2 hanks to use, I don't mind paying more but it's nice to know what I need to get. Thanks NoD for posting this!

Got my order today and I weighed my entire unopened DH stack, some of which I have had from the first order I ever placed over two years ago. The biggest is a hank of Buttercream at 22g and the smallest Poison Ivy at 10g. Most of them weigh between 12-16g.

In the new order, biggest is a hank of Guacamole at 17g and smallest a Spring Meadow at 8g. Most of them are between 11-15g.

That Spring Meadow stuck out to me immediately, I knew just by looking it was light. I did get two of each color (I usually do) and the other Spring Meadow is 12g.

A little OT - Did anyone get any of that Pilot color changing hair? I got Purple to Blue and mine seems to be stuck in blue :/ I should go stick it in the freezer.

Interesting. I don't have any other Kankelon hair to compare my newest order to, but at least now I know why it was shipped so late! ^__^

I'll have to go into my hair stash and see what the unused Nylons weigh now; I know I have some from 2010 and maybe older than that, since I took that long break between some custom ponies... I'll let you know what they weigh as soon as I'm able to.

I received my order this week. Some of the new colors (Guacamole, Spring Meadow, Chai Tea) are noticeably thinner hanks. Others, like Kitten and Brilliant Pussycat seem to have more hair in them. I ordered two hanks of Brilliant Black, and one is way thinner than the other. I wish I could help with weights, but my el-cheapo scale won't register the hanks.

I just got my order, I do agree that there is some definite difference in the amount of hair. Has anyone gotten ahold of Tina?

I'm waiting to hear from her on the average hair weight but someone else might have better luck than me

I have not tried to contact Tina yet - I figured there was little to no point at the moment as her website clearly states she is not reading or responding to e-mail.

[MoonHawke]

Oh dear. This thread really worries me.

I placed 2 orders on the 12th of November. One I've already received, but I'm still waiting on the other (not entirely sure why...). I sent Tina an email on the 24th trying to see if the second order had shipped and I just never got a tracking email. I still have not gotten a response.

Figuring I had waited long enough, I was about to send her a second email, and saw the pop up on the site. I'm just really sad because I ordered a couple colors purely for use on a custom I wanted to give as a holiday gift. Looks like that won't be happening. If it is becoming common to get less hair, I'm glad I ordered extra of the colors I really needed.

I'll see what my hanks weigh in at when I get home from work this evening. I only started ordering hair back in August, so I'm pretty confident about what are full hanks and what aren't.

Edit:
Alright, here's what I came up with.

My one full hank that I had from a prior order came out to be .6 oz. Another hank that was more than 3/4 full came out to be .5 oz.

From my latest order, placed on the 12th, I came up with the following:
.5 oz
.4 oz
.3 oz
.4 oz
.3 oz

The last three where in the different handwriting than my prior orders, so probably the same as everyone else has been mentioning.

Moonhawk, I'll PM you and see if I have the colors you are looking for?

I got my order today and was prepared for the worst. I weighed all the hanks and they all weigh in between 10-14 grams. Most of them are 12-13 grams.

[Alatariel-Silimaure]

I shall be waiting to order anything until this is sorted out and until dollyhair isn't so swamped. I've got plenty of retrodolls hair to last ma while, and right now I haven't received a paycheck from my new job yet, so I don't have the money to blow if the hanks are going to be so much thinner, especially if the issue doesn't get corrected and that's the new standard. not a clue how it will turn out, so I'll just be watching for now :3

[Colorscapesart]

I weighed my new hanks today.  Dang.  Lowest was 9g I think.  Highest was 13?

[True]

im really worried about this, iv noticed it and i havent bought hair in a few months. If hair is slimming down I really wish she would have put a notice up :/ this really affected a few of my customs. iv had to use less hair because i couldnt wait the month it sometimes takes for hair to arrive. I love dolly hair and i doubt ill ever stop shopping there and I know tina is a busy bee but I really hope we all get some answers.
