The Eyelash Trick For Removing A Sex Doll's Wig Without Damage
Pulling forward over the face, rather than backward over the hairline, is the small trick for removing a doll's wig that saves a lot of frustration. Tweezers, a regular hand and twenty minutes: that's what it takes to re-glue an eyelash you've accidentally ripped off, and it's why this detail, small as it sounds, isn't. It's a lesson you only need to learn once.
 
Delicate Eyelashes and the Wig's Inner Strap
Look at how lashes are fitted: on most dolls they're glued to the upper eyelid or the socket edge, which leaves them delicate. They're stuck on with a small amount of adhesive and come away if anything catches them. Backward pulling takes the wig's inner strap directly over the eyelash line, so the strap catches the lashes and pulls them off. The lashes are entirely out of the way when you pull the wig forward, since the strap passes over the forehead and crown instead.
 
One Smooth Motion
The method is straightforward. Use a firm one-handed grip on the sides of the skull, just above the ears, to hold the doll's head still. Forward and marginally upward is the direction: grip the front of the wig at the hairline with your other hand and slide it over the forehead, not backward over the crown. The wig should come off in one silky motion, with the inner strap passing over the forehead rather than over the eyelash line. Lace-front wigs are the most at risk, because fragile lace can tear if it catches on the lashes.
 
Bald for a Day or a Damp Wig
The second half of the trick is having a spare wig available at all times. Frequently washing a synthetic wig, then letting it air-dry totally before it goes back on, leaves the doll without a wig for a day or two each time. When you only have one wig, you get either a bald doll for a day or a damp wig, and neither is ideal. A spare wig makes the complication go away totally, and it's a cheap investment with a sizable effect on the ownership experience.
 
Never Use a Hot Hairdryer on a Wig
Washing a wig calls for wig-specific shampoo and not regular hair products. With regular shampoo, the fibres lose their coating, the wig turns dull and frizzy, and residue that's hard to rinse out can remain. Much longer natural looks come from wig shampoo, formulated to clean the fibres without stripping them. Where the maker suggests wig conditioner, use it after shampoo, then leave the wig to air-dry on a wig stand or towel instead of employing a hairdryer on hot.
 
The Easiest Way to Change a Doll's Look
As well as being one of the most important parts of the doll's appearance, the wig is one of the most replaceable. Wigs sit at the cheap end next to the doll, and a replacement is the single easiest way to change the look without a new doll. Variety needn't cost multiple dolls: a few wigs in rotation will do it, with blonde and brunette making the same doll two totally different characters. Among doll ownership upgrades, this is one of the best for value.
 
Getting the Wig Size Right
Select a spare wig in the size of the original. Although most dolls use standard wig sizes, some have custom sizes, and a wig that's too small will be tight and slip while one that's too large will sit awkwardly and look unnatural. Use the doll's head circumference, measured before ordering, to pick the right size. Not sure of the size? Choose a seller that accepts returns, because mistaken sizes are widespread and a sensible vendor makes sending it back easy.
 
Colour and Washing Frequency
It also matters what colour the spare wig is. Less dirt and oil show on darker wigs than on lighter ones, so they need washing less often and are more forgiving if you're not consistent with maintenance. Every mark and every bit of oil shows on lighter wigs, which are more striking but need more repeated washing. For regular use opt for a darker spare, the practical alternative, and save the lighter wigs for special occasions or photography.
 
Better Storage, Better-Looking Wigs
Wig storage is another question, and one most customers ignore until three wigs are in a drawer and they can't tell which is which. One bag or one wig stand per wig, plus labels if you've got more than one. A wig that's been stored in a crumpled bag will need washing and restyling before it can be worn, while a wig stored on a stand will be ready to go straight out of storage. Time and frustration are saved, and the wigs keep looking better for longer.
 
Stay away from Catching the Eyelashes
The eyelash trick has uses beyond removing the wig. The same principle applies in reverse when you put a wig on. Put the wig on from front to back, sliding it over the forehead and not pulling it down from the crown, and check the inner strap is positioned correctly before settling the wig into place. Lace-front wigs need the lace positioned prudently and pressed into place with your fingers, taking care not to catch the eyelashes. A wig positioned well looks like genuine hair and sits naturally; one positioned badly sits awkwardly and looks obviously fake.
 
Eyelash Adhesive, Toothpick and Cotton Bud
The eyelashes warrant a few words in their own right. Fragile as they are, they can be damaged by water, coarse handling and the wrong kind of adhesive. You don't need much to re-glue a lash: a small amount of eyelash adhesive and a toothpick or cotton bud to apply it. A few seconds of holding after pressing the lash in will make sure it sticks, but only once the adhesive has turned tacky. A lash that's too damaged to re-use can be replaced with a new one that's cheap and easy to source.
 
Gluing Small Things Accurately
A set designed for dolls, not for humans, is what to acquire if you're replacing a whole set of eyelashes. Human eyelashes don't suit doll faces; they're too long and too thick and end up looking cartoonish. Doll eyelashes suit the proportions of the doll's face, being shorter and finer. They're also typically pre-glued with a strip that makes them easier to position accurately, which is a large help if you're not used to gluing small things.
 
Match the Look to the Character
Another question is whether to use eyelashes at all. More natural or mature dolls in particular can look better without lashes, since hefty ones may look too doll-like on a face that's aiming at realism. See which suits the character by experimenting with and without. Because the lashes are removable, attempting them commits you to nothing, and you can invariably replace them if you decide the look suits you.
 
Try Colours, Lengths and Styles
You can use the same logic with wigs ordinarily. A wig that looks incredible on one face might look totally incorrect on another, as not every doll suits every hairstyle. Before selecting a favourite, test out different colours, lengths and styles, including some outside your normal preference. The wig is the cheapest way to change her appearance dramatically, and a doll with a striking wig can look like a completely distinct character.
 
Character From a Well-Placed Fringe
If you've got a wig with a fringe, be attentive about how it sits. The eyebrows can be covered entirely by an inadequately positioned fringe, which can also sit too high and look unnatural or fall awkwardly across the eyes. Before the wig is settled, spend time on the fringe's position, and if it needs to stay in place use a small amount of wig styling product. Well positioned, a fringe frames the face and adds character; poorly positioned, it makes the doll look wrong regardless of what else is right.
 
One Final Tip: Storage for Small Parts
Keep the wig, eyelashes and any other small accessories together in one dedicated container; an open shelf is the wrong place. Twenty minutes looking for an eyelash that you know you put down somewhere is irritating, and small parts do get lost readily. Knowing where everything is makes maintenance sessions much faster, and a small box or a labelled bag keeps everything together.
 
The Habit Worth Building Early
Insignificant until you've done it wrong once, the wig-removal trick then becomes second nature. Pull forward instead of backward and expect your eyelashes to last for years. Go backward and you'll be acquiring replacement lashes every few months. Adopt it from day one: it's a small habit that makes a sizable difference.
