firespirited:

I’m going to be making a doll/pony hair masterpost and try to put together all the information I have about the different fibres, at what heat to straighten them, who makes them and what they’re called by the different resellers. My main area of expertise is being able to tell one fibre from another by touch/closeups and an extensive fantasy colour Saran swatch http://suppi.net/tutorials/index.php/tag/saran/ and colour matching spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1anczhu8bgw5m6N9LgO3LNRM1M1N1knL2aWPFjl-bFoA/edit#gid=2

I’m going to complete the swatching polyethurane/monofibre/tdp ‘nylon’ against the saran swatches because that gives people a point of reference to be able to look at their bratz or monster high dolls and say oh okay that’s a paler white than used on frankie, that’s a more muted purple than used on clawdeen.

If you have any links to pony-nylon matches, spreadsheets of your own or you’d like to add to the current spreadsheet, just add. Jump in if you have any questions. What’d be nice is if we can all agree of what to call the stuff manufactured as PE hair. because typing out toyokalon/polyethurane/TDP ‘nylon’/monofibre is getting annoying. LOL.

I used to have a photobucket of high res swatches and info files, I might do something similar on Onedrive. I have the folders of pictures but I need to put together a document with a glossary and links.

ok here’s what i’ve got so far:
