The Alexis Doll Hair Weave Look

 I just bought this doll from my local Goodwill store.  Her name is Alexis from the "Liv for Hair" World.  She was about $10, but she reminded of a "baby doll with a weave?"

I do not know how I feel about this doll.  I have not opened the packaging yet.  Do you have any thoughts?

I think that her hair is a wig that is interchangeable with another wig that can be purchased separately.  There are youtube videos on caring for the Liv Doll's wigs.  I was in shock to see a little girl taking the hair off her doll and washing/conditioning the "doll size wig." Where have I been?  Now, the baby dolls are wearing wigs too . . .  I am speechless.  I will open my Alexis doll for Christmas.  I will be in suspense until then.

    How funny you posted this. I just went doll shopping for my daughter and took a picture of a doll set that included miniature oil sheen, grease and different hair pieces. Doll has long straight hair, option to attach long curly ponytail. Not sure how I feel about this doll set so I know how you feel.

    Here's the link to the Barbie. I guess I should feel okay about this. Weave and hair styling really is a huge part of our culture, changing up our looks. Our dolls are not the first to have interchangeable hair pieces it just caught me off-guard.

      Thanks for sharing! Bronner Brothers host Hair shows and manufactures a few product lines. I had no idea that they had partnered with Barbie to make urban baby dolls. Good to know!

    For the curious minded, my doll Alexis was wearing a removable wig on top of her hard head with wavy hair sculptured.
