Depends on how you see your dolls. If they're objects to you then no 'cause it's more like having a favorite shirt or whatever. But if you've given them personalities etc.... then it might be a tiny bit wrong.

And if it goes beyond playing favorites and you notice you stopped liking a doll - despite a wig/style/eye change - sell them. Use that money to spoil the ones you favor or save up for a new one.

It's the worst if you have to keep seeing the doll and be reminded of your failure.

Alright then. I will gladly be the spineless faggot if that means I managed to help someone get to a doll they like in 5-6 short replies. It's always great when someone reads the faqs before posting questions, but I also understand that not everybody's up to reading though all of it or even notices the links in the OP if it's their first time in one of these threads.
Nobody here made any decision for that person either, other than to suggest a line in the scale they preferred.

It's commendable and appreciated that you did your research, it certainly made it easier for you to join the discussion. But I don't think it's necessary to immediately dismiss people who didn't take that initiative or randomly stumbled into this thread and just got curious.

Doors are open for all dolls... or should be.
Are you gonna do the face-ups yourself? Rooted hair or tiny wigs (assuming they're 1/6 scale)?

You did a good job, anon. A good flat-iron should stay at the set temp. However, with my own flat iron, I find the lowest temp setting (300) excessively hot for heat-resistant wigs - not that it damages the wigs but I'd rather not take any chances on a $30 wig (plus $20 shipping) so I use the minimum heat required. So I do exactly what you did. I turn the flat iron on and off while styling to make sure it's not hotter than it needs to be.

>Now I just have a good reason to learn how to trim wigs.

Most important things I've learned:

1) Use sharp scissors
2) Hold the scissors near-vertically (not horizontally). This will give you that wispy anime-hair look rather than a blunt cut that looks like a 3 year old trimmed her barbie's hair
3) Trim A VERY TINY amount at a time. Step back. Take a look. Trim a tiny bit more. Let the style chill for a day or two so you have time to see where any flaws might be. Then repeat until you have what you like

I finally reached the point where I did a major styling of one of my favorite wigs (chopped almost 3'' off of it, and it was curly too) and I'm really, really happy with it.
