If you wanna give her a trim I bet it'll look sweet just go a little at a time and use really sharp scissors. I cut my boys bangs because they were hiding his face up.

I like long hair, so I would say no if she were mine. However, short hair can be adorable too, so have fun!

I'd stay with her long hair too, I think it looks better with her kimono. But I might go for butt-long or back? Not too sure yet. I'm folding her hair up to a point too see if it looks good XD

I like Eden with long hair personally.
But if you do cut her hair I prefer using a razor blade to do it (BE CAREFUL!). It gives a more layered/natural look instead of the blunt cut.

Here is a really good Sumika times article about how to cut doll hair (just scroll down past the adding color high lights part).

They have links to volks products if you need them, but you can find razor combs and stuff on ebay for cheaper.

@ Linainversetsg: Aww thank you! that was very helpful :D Hmm I'm thinking of maybe just trimming now. Or maybe just cutting off any short-sticking out hair. They're mainly my problem :\

For the short hairs one thing I've noticed (for both rooted heads and wigs) is that a lot of the time it's a trapped hair or misplaced strand from the bangs.

Try setting it back towards the bangs, and if that fails hold the rest of the hair down and pull on the tiny hair. If it's a rooted head the hair might not have pulled back through the hole all the way and if it's a wig it might have been trapped by a stitch when attaching the weft.

I've tried pulling some short ones before and they all just went straight out. I'm not too worried about pulling some out cause this wig has THICK hair XD

Since I'm not good at styling hair, I get a 2nd wig f I want something shorter. That way the long one can be braided or restyle or something if not a slight trim
