Nylon doll hair is the second most utilized craft hair for dolls after saran hair. If you see a doll with multi-colored hair and bright colors it’s most likely nylon hair. It’s commonly used by most major toy manufacturers in crafting their dolls.
Nylon doll hair is actually the most popular kind of artificial fiber for small businesses or hobby crafting. Because of the variety of different colors and textures, it’s a great material to use when making custom dolls.
One of the major benefits of nylon hair is that it tends to be more colorful as the hair holds dyes better. It is also lighter weight and easier to style without the waxy feel of other hair types. It takes a curl and holds it very easily.
A drawback of using nylon hair is that it’s not quite as soft and luxurious feeling as saran hair.

High Temperature Nylon Doll Hair?
This type doll hair is basically what is sounds like, it’s able to be styled at a higher temperature than low heat.
You can style this type hair medium to high heat setting and only starts to burn around 430 degrees.
The other non high temperature hair and high temperature hair is at risk of burning if you use too much heat. Once the hair is burned it changes texture and hardens. It cannot be fixed once burned.
