Yes, doll hair can be dyed!
Saran doll hair can be dyed using acrylic
paint. If you'd like to purchase the instructions on how
to do this, please .
Similarly, nylon doll hair can be dyed with
fabric dye, like RIT. The aforementioned instructions can
be used with fabric dye in place of acrylic paint, so if
you'd like to dye your nylon hair with fabric dye, please
refer to the instructions as well. The fabric dye can be
used hot or room temperature, depending on how strongly
you want it to take.
It may also be possible to dye saran hair
with fabric dye, and it may be possible to dye nylon hair
with acrylic paint. I've never tried either.
Nylon hair takes fabric dye extremely well,
and lots of great effects can be produced.
If you're going to use acrylic paint as
dye, please either make sure you purchase the instructions,
or make sure that you dilute it with a lot of water. The
effect you're going for here is dyed hair, not painted hair
;)
As far as the regular doll hair and the
mohair, the regular doll hair could probably be dyed with
acrylic paint or fabric dye (although I've never tried),
and mohair can be dyed with fabric dye OR human hair dye,
since it is real hair, even though it's not human! But being
real animal hair, it is keratin based and will therefore
take permanent or semi-permanent human hair dye, including
any of the major permanent hair color brands you see on
your grocery store or beauty supply store shelves, and including
semi-permanent dyes like Manic Panic, if you're going for
a wilder look.
