Alternative Hair types?

[Wardah]

Has anyone used any kind of alternative hair types besides the usual nylon/saran/poly/etc that is usually used?

[RoseNoire]

I use yarn for my customs. Nylon hair is hard to get.

I've used embroidery thread a few times.  Separated into one strand per plug I think.

I re-haired this Sunny Daze with the rope handles that come on G3 packaging.

I've also seen customs made with real horse hair, though I don't own any or have photos..

That's such a creative idea and she looks fantastic!

Yarn, roving (for needle felting), tinsel, the kind of rope used for curtain tiebacks and butchered wigs and extensions have all been used

Love pkw xxx

Thanks SunPony and OrangePeachMango!  Poor Sunny Daze had almost all of her mane and tail cut off.  If anyone tries to re-hair with the rope handles, I found that the medium-longer ones work the best. 

 I love that real horse hair custom pony.

I've used a good many of the things previously mentioned, but I think mohair was my favorite and most loathed non-traditional hair. It turned out sooo beautiful and soft but was such a major pita that I nearly gave up on her multiple times.
