Ooo, interesting. I've never seen this doll, but they are so funIs their hair just wool roving though? When you get the doll will you be able to compare it to the texture of a perfume puff in person?
I moved this to Pony Corral from Customs for you, as I think you'll get more responces here. It overlaps some with customs but also can be considered a general question.
I thought I heard perfume puff was just, like, mohair?

This is actually really great!I am VERY glad you made this discovery! A candylocks doll is not something I would have bought (not a doll collector) and this is such an interesting discovery. It has been attempted to discover what is PP hair for many years with no success. There has not been anything on the market that is comparable. Customizers use currycombed yarn, combed wool, and sometimes mohair to do those 'fan puffs' that can look very good.However, none of that is nearly as sturdy or long as real PP hair. Yes, some pp hair will come off as it is de-tangled and can't brush like ordinary hair, but it doesn't simply fall apart like natural OR artificial yarns do. PP hair is guaranteed to be synthetic, but no one knew how the fiber could be so long yet so sturdy and also have that texture.How does the candylocks doll hold up to combing or styling?Is it easy to use?If you brush it a bit to style it into (say, a smaller braid) does it come apart any?This is def. cool stuff, I'll have to get my hands on a candylocks for sure now...
