Shopping Is it a problem to buy wigs and clothes from Aliexpress?

absolutely not. I have purchased many wigs there.Alices collections wigs and aliepress are pretty much same maker. Jensusn (I think, is one of them) In the beginning I bough plenty of wigs from aly nut as I grow in the hobby I make my own because I want n natural fibre. now I have lots of wigs stuck ahah
but yes is ok to buy from AliExpress.
My impldoll got dark stains on her head from it. and it was from impldoll so...

 

It's not bad to buy wigs from AliExpress, many sellers there just resell things from taobao. Just check and make sure that they don't also resell recasts!

 

your welcome
Yes is real - but not human hair. I use mohair and alpaca hair. is a fine fibre and is almost like made for dolls my fav is alpaca. if you want to see my wigs on my dolls there's plenty on instagram @lackadaisical_angels
the latest I made was for my boy Daniel. his with is curly and I love it

Fjusuns Official Store is a good wig maker.

 

Second vote for aliexpress. I’ve bought a lot of cheap doll clothes there, things that were simple (t shirts, basic pants, etc) that I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on and didn’t care a whole lot about the quality. For that kind of thing it’s perfect. Wigs have been a mixed bag for me but for a lot of them it’s been hard to argue with the price.

 

I have bought a lot of wigs from Ali, and they have varying quality. Some of the cheapest ones haven't been great, with frizzy fibers and wefts too far apart causing bald spots, but I've also been surprised by others and gotten some really nice ones for under $15! MUZIWIG is my favorite, I've bought quite a few from them, and been happy with all of them. I believe this is Jusuns's official store, I've liked their wigs a lot too.

 

I had to delete the app off my phone cuz I would just go down aliexpress doll clothes rabbit holes.

 

You can post about off-topic dolls in the Brigadoon. (Though do see if someone has started a thread there already about the dolls you want to post about before starting a new one.)

As for wig staining, I haven't had trouble with any of my dark wigs staining my resin dolls. It's a different story for vinyl which stains quite easily... You can also remove most stains on resin with a magic eraser.

You could try washing your wigs with vinegar to get rid of excess dye. Vinegar is said to help 'lock in' the dye and stop a wig from staining.

You could also use a wig cap underneath your wig. I've heard people say using a silicon wig cap (which is usually used to stop wigs from falling off) works, but also heard that if a wig stains, the dye could seep through the silicon... There are cloth wig caps for vinyl dolls to protect them from staining, so those might be a safer bet.

 

You can rub a piece of paper on the inside of the wig to see if any colour comes off it before putting it on your doll if you're worried! It is really rare that wigs stain resin, though - and even then it's usually the thread that holds the wefts on the cap rather than the hair itself. A silicone cap, as mentioned above, will help with that; it is good to get one anyway to avoid the wig slipping off too easily.

Even if you do get stains, they clean up quite easily from resin, though! It's not as stain-prone as vinyl is.

 

Seconding what everyone has said so far, especially about Jusun's.

I will add though: I never buy clothing or wigs from shops using stolen photos, because the product you get might be different/lower quality than advertised. (Not to mention the ethical issues with buying counterfeit copies of official fullset outfits, independent makers' work, etc.) If all the product photos are very different from each other, using different dolls, different backgrounds, different styles of photography, etc. then the photos are probably stolen!

 

I don't consider it to be a problem either. The most important I think is to check out where you buy, because Aliexpress has many things, legit or not so you must keep an eye on the stores you buy in, but of you're careful it should be fine

About the wigs I cannot say, I never ordered wigs from Alice's Collections

 

is your name on IG CHERUDOLLS?

 

@miresmoon What I mean is: if every product has a different type of photo from every other product.

Legit makers will usually photograph many products during one photo shoot, using the same doll(s), background, and so forth. So for example, Jusun's photographs all of their products in front of a plain white background, and many different wigs are modeled by the same Blythe doll, wearing the same outfit.

Counterfeit sellers and re-sellers will steal photos from many different companies, so each product will have photos with a very different style. So one wig will be modeled on a Blythe in front of a plain white background, but the next wig will be modeled on a Minifee doing an action pose in a roombox with pink lighting, and the next wig will be on a Delf outside in the park, and so on.

I hope that makes sense!

 

The one time I ordered from AliExpress my debit card had suspicious activity within the next few days However, perhaps it was related to that individual store. I'm not sure! I haven't tried again since then, but the positive reviews here are giving me confidence that it would be worth checking it out a second time.

 

I bought a lot of stuff from AliExpress ,wigs, shoes, props other non doll stuff. never had a problem and when I did, they were very fast to refund me.

 

I was wondering if you can buy sewn mohair wigs on Aliexpress. It's hard to find them. So far I've only bought other accessories there and I've never had a problem.

 

not really...I Neve found them. Etsy probably yes. I made a sewn mohair wig but the problem I find it is that the hair needs to be in. sewn wefts, and wefts get bulky

 

I once saw a wig in which the hair was just threaded through without knots and secured from the inside with glue. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or skill to do it.

 

oh I know what type you talking about - is almost like re rooting dolls kind of princess ?

 

I'm not sure. But the look it was very natural.

 

sorry I meant say process, not princess !
