What happened to hair?? Missing! Expensive! Where to buy?

WingsOfMasquerade:
Because I'll soon be starting a big and fun project...I was getting excited.
I need several different colors and then a whole bunch of purple. But, I realized I needed more hair for it, but not just 1 bag, like maybe 4 or 5 of the same color, so I started shopping and started shocking! What's the state of hair today?

Dollyhair is missing some colors now...
Ultra Violet, regular bubblegum, (they're vanished, not marked as 'sold out', which is worrisome)

Then Shimmerlocks doesn't seem to sell pony sizes of hair even though they started out as a pony hair website, what's up with that? You can buy the doll size of things (bigger) but it's double the price. I mean, its ok to get twice as much for twice the price but I can't order like 20 hanks of different colors at that higher rate, its too expensive to get variety.

HQG1C hair-
This is the BEST price but they don't have all the classic colors.

Etsy-
All these guys seem to be from not the USA with huge shipping fees? It's fab for people in the UK, or Australia and Europe ordering, I'm sure their prices are fine for the people there...but again 20 bucks just to ship I'm kind of 'nah'?

Amazon only has like kanekalon and wigs
Temu/Ali Express- Will it even arrive at your house? Who knows! Certainly not them.

I want to have my customs at reasonable prices and be able to do what people request (color wise) having a big 'pallet' of hair choices on hand is very important so I can pick up and go with any design. I hadn't had to buy hair in a while, going on HQHair and dyeing it to colors and using old stock from a bunch of different shops, but what is everyone doing these days to buy hair reasonably?

BlackCurtains:
That's interesting about Shimmerlocks. They still have hanks for $4-something. Organize by price low to high and they'll come up. Not too many though. I'm not happy about this change either :huh:

There is The Doll Planet but their hanks are $8.

Restore Doll has good prices but I don't know how good the hair is. They have "premium nylon" which is what I would get.

Doll Hair Emporium is UK based but they ship worldwide and have exact matches for ponies.

I just checked MLC and they don't have the colours Ultra Violet and Bubble Gum either :O

Raindrop:
IIRC, Dollyhair's Bubblegum color didn't turn out as an exact match to the intended vintage ponies or to a previous batch or something like that, so the "Old Bubblegum" color was supposed to fix that (be the original color, or match the vintage ponies).  I am wondering if Bubblegum is not being restocked for that reason.  Of course, DH has always been slow restocking colors; I imagine the owner has to be able to order a wholesale-sized batch of hair to get it from the overseas supplier and waits until multiple colors need restocking.

I don't know anything about DH since the previous owner passed and someone else took over ownership.  Are orders any more reliable these days?

BlackCurtains:
As far as I know, DollyHair is safe and good to order from now :)
