Over FIFTY American Girl Wigs (& How I'm Storing Them Now)

Whether you have NEVER rewigged an American Girl doll or your wig collection is massive, I hope you'll each enjoy this video featuring the many doll wigs we have, seeing them all on dolls, and (most importantly to me right now), the new way I'm keeping them organized!
I'd love to read all about your organization tips and tricks and know what you think of this approach.
BTW, your comments and support make these dolls even more enjoyable because sometimes joy shared is joy multiplied. So thanks for spending some time with me and my dolls today!

Seems like a good organizational system. I don't have any wigs although there are some I think are amazing. I think I need to get a doll with horrible hair so I can try taking her wig off with less pressure. Then I can buy some wigs to create new looks.

[@agtakesover]

It's certainly not a need, but if you would enjoy it then getting a doll with wrecked hair for cheap could be a great option :)

Such a lovely wig collection! But also this video increased my desire to have a doll that I can put new wigs on, so. I also blame you for my future spending. ;-) I really love all the great wigs that showcase different hair textures and styles and also the ones with BANGS. I know that people have Feelings about bangs sometimes, but dang, you don't know how much you miss them until it's next to impossible to just buy a doll with bangs.

[@agtakesover]

Oh no, I'm accepting no blame lol ;-) And yes - I do like the banged wigs but with a lot of these aftermarket wigs they're TOO LONG. I want to see the dolls' eyes without having to move their wigs back way beyond their original wig line.

Oh great ideas! I bought a few wigs

[@agtakesover]

Have fun! I love wigs for myself to have dress-up/cosplay options and I love them even more for my dolls!

Beautiful collection!! Growing up, I always wondered why Barbie couldn’t come with a bald head and a lot of wigs so I could have a lot more variety! I have one wig from Zazou called Hayleigh, a long straight light brown/dirty blond. I bought it to transform a boy Our generation doll into a girl mini-me doll. I just love the face mold! I haven’t glued it down yet. Our generation dolls have hair that comes out of their head, so I had to cut it, and that was a little traumatic, poor girl. The wig looks a little off, and I thought that was just me until I watched a video that mentioned the boy molds have slightly smaller heads and that is definitely the issue. The wig fits and is beautiful, it just looks overwhelming for her tiny face. If it were scaled down like 10% it would be great.

I know some wigs run tighter than others, so perhaps another brand would work better?

I love your wig organizing system! You have an amazing wig collection too ❤ I have a similar picture-based organizing system in place for AG outfits and Mix and match/AG fashion show collections as well as accessories. For some reason I never thought of doing something similar for wigs! I’ll be getting on it this weekend haha 😂 thank you for the video!

[@agtakesover]

These kinds of systems are SO convenient but not the easiest to set up on an already-large collection. Thinking about doing this for all our clothes feels beyond overwhelming lol.

[@strangelyliteral]

I’m currently a witless household, lol. I’m constantly thinking about getting a red wig for my 116, but I’m nervous to rip her wig off so I keep spending doll money on other things instead!

[@agtakesover]

"a witless household" is my new favorite typo lmao. And maybe starting with a TLC doll whose hair is already beyond repair would be an easier place to start.

[@strangelyliteral]

@@agtakesover LOL I saw that afterwards and was like “she’ll know what I meant.” I HOPE I’m not a witless household 😂

My storage problem is how to store my AG historical girls with their specific clothes collections... my girls share my closet with my own historical reenactment clothes and accessories... so it's a struggle!

[@agtakesover]

For dolls we have a lot of items for, we use small clear totes and I write their names with Sharpie on painters' tape and label them that way (that way if a doll outgrows her tote it's easy to remove the label). They're stackable and stored in the top part of our closet, so they're pretty accessible.

[@lesliepallante1612]

Where can I get the Asha wig..... I'm in love!

[@agtakesover]

Zazou on Etsy :)

My challenge is how to ustore away my dolls while they do maintenance in my apartment? I only have one original box so do I do cardboard or plastic tubs or what? Please help.

[@agtakesover]

Are you worried about them getting damaged or worried about judgment from the maintenance people? How long will they need to be in storage? How many dolls do you have? Those answers will help me give the best advice.

[@suzannegoodwin4308]

Around 30 dolls. Stored at least a week or so.

[@TotallyDolls]

If you have any wigs yiu are going to throw out anyway, I will gladly take them out of your hands

[@agtakesover]

Oh, I definitely don't lol. I love the wigs we have :)
