ACETATE HAIR ORDERING PAGE

What is Acetate, you may ask??

Acetate is a textile that is made with deconstructed wood pulp, which is known as cellulose. After the cellulose is reacted with acids and other chemicals, acetate is produced.

Why would you want to root your doll with acetate? Well, put simply, it's beautiful stuff.

Acetate feels more "natural", more organic, and less artificial than other synthetic hair types. Truly, the best comparison that I can give you is that it feels like the hair of a persian cat.

I don't know of any dolls/toys that were ever factory rooted with acetate hair, but that doesn't mean that there weren't any, so if, up until now, you'd been searching for a particular match for a particular doll, your search may be over. You can't buy acetate doll hair anywhere but Dollyhair. This acetate that I'm selling is pretty old stock... probably 15-20 years old or so. So, once it's gone, it may be gone for good! I don't even know how to get ahold of the manufacturer, or if they still exist, so TRULY, Dollyhair may be the one and only place in the entire world where you can buy acetate doll hair.

Acetate's tensile strength is probably the weakest of all synthetic doll hair types, so you don't want to apply too much tension to it while you're rerooting your doll, or you can get a little breakage. It's nothing to worry about, though, especially if you're not a first-time rerooter. You can compare the strength of one strand of acetate to the strength of one human hair. It's pretty much the same. I wouldn't say that acetate should only be reserved for very experienced rerooters, but acetate is definitely not as strong as nylon!

I know that you probably aren't familiar with acetate, so here is a photo of a Barbie doll who I rooted with it in the color "golden honey", so you can get an idea of what to expect. It's very lovely hair, and I'm sure that you'll love it:

Currently, we are only selling our acetate hair in 38" format hanks.
