Alright I feel once again I made the mistake of removing the hold on the hair it's to puffy now. What's a good thing to get so it stays put again. Hair spray and gel?

Amazing shot 👌
Finally more coming. 25% premium and some standard. Sorry I forget how many standard. He said it’s going to take a couple days to figure out to what order number.
ToysBuyingAgent has the sculpted version in stock now as well as the premium from a few weeks ago.

Based on my own experience and reading about mohair from the reborn doll group and fiber groups as well as folks with thick curling hair, the fiber needs to be weighed down without getting too greasy.
****Do not work on hair if you are impatient, tired, angry, hungry, or rushed. Play LOTR music and breathe the free air. Think happy thoughts. Do not ingest herbs or full pints as you need to pay attention to what you are doing. *****
1) Have a little sculpt stand ready - I used the top of a small spray bottle. Handles of tools work too. Be careful not to hit the eye pegs inside the sculpt which makes Aragorn look like a zombie as the eyes roll up *&^%$
***My sculpt hair was extra thick and coarse so yours may not need as much work.
Wash sculpt with shampoo for dry air and use a conditioner (i used one with argan oil). Blot dry like u are drying a wool sweater - because it's wool.
2) Good dose of hair gel and start arranging while partially try with pointy things - I used pointed and slanted forceps. Sort of squeeze top of head to flatten the hair. Don't comb it will make wool frizzy, or, "comb with forceps" to make "piecey". Use more gel as needed. Just pick at and tug hair. Don't overwork as you will just undo gel as it dries. U can pinch bits of hair with fingers too. Let dry.
3) Protect face and lightly spray with hair spray, continuing to arrange hair. You can use wet fingers as products dry to continue to flatten poufiness. Let dry overnight. You can dampen fingers or Qtip after that to arrange hair more. By this time there will be enough stuff in the hair you can arrange like paper mache.
4) When you are done, take deep breath, try not to think about your life choices since you just spend 30 hours + arranging the hair on a 2 inch high head, and then go get the full pint, sit outside (assuming you are U.S.) and watch the leaves fall, and think about your triumph over fiber.😱
