wig size for SQ Lab heads?

I got a SQ Lab Hitomi and the wigs seems too big on the new head. I really like the smaller head size but it seems like the face got "buried" by the wigs.

 

Anyone tried using different wigs for SQ Lab heads?

 

should I use a 7-8 size wig instead or 8-9 size?

 

maybe give her a haircut? (don't have that courage yet)

it depend on the wig-maker... but i tried a 8-9 size and it was too big... so i suggest using 7-8

 

i emailed SQ-Lab asking for their recommendations but they said i was the first person to have a problem with 8-9 inch wig... so maybe it is just me.

SQ-Lab has different heads. Some are bigger, some are smaller, probably the size of DDH-03 which is one of the smaller DD heads (and I've heard that 03 could wear 7-8" wigs as well).

My Kaoru wears only 8-9" wigs but they're really a little too big.

Silicone headcap from Coolcat helped, and I'm not pulling the wigs all in so it's ok.

I'm buying only 8-9" so all my girls can exchange them

OTOH, Ranka (SQ-Lab owner) just pulls the 8-9" wigs over the doll's ears and seems not to be concerned

 

 

Like You can see on the photo above

I guess I wasn't the only one with the problem. That photo is amazing. I tried using a similar 8-9 wig and it covered her eyes and neck (I'll need to trim some areas). I'll keep adjusting it to see if I can get it to look like that.

 

I'm really curious to see how well the 7-8 wig would fit, I also had a 03 head as backup.

 

Edit: I'm really a noob, the wig from the picture isn't the Volks bob cut with long front and looks like a Miruya without the tails. I'll try using my other Miruya wigs to see if it can fit. My silicone cap is stuck in the mail... maybe that would help

I don't own her anymore, but I had an sq labs head and she wore the same wigs as all my dd did 8-9. You can see her here in a 8-9 ndoll wig:

 

 

The one thing I did with her is she wore 2 wigs caps, one silicone cap which I used mainly to keep her head cap on (which by the way worked a treat) and I then had a white cloth wig cap over the top, to prevent staining. These two caps obviously bulked her head out a bit, but because it was a smaller head anyway it worked out really well for me.

 

Wig caps are pretty cheap and easy to come by, so this might be an idea to consider ^^

Today I try a 7-8 inch wig from crobidoll and find it does not fit.

Was it too small or too big?

Too small.

there goes my plan.... thanks for the info.

I'll be sure to include wig caps in my next purchase.

I think a dollmore 8-9 inch wig would be a perfect fit. I think this because I bought a wig-cap from them in that size and it fit very snugly.

 

So I will try one from them next.

My SQ lab Hibiki wears a 8-9" wig, just like my other DD girls and it fits fine with a wig cap.

hmm, i will try padding out with a wig cap too .

I've been using an 8-9 wig for Tana, and it seems to be ok. For the new kid, an HDD-02, they seem to work just as well. (haven't used a "cap" yet, but after they stretch a bit, I might do so for stain prevention, just in case!)

Seems like Volks wigs have a tighter fit when compared to Miruya. 2 silicone caps seem to work
