The "hair" used for "barbie" and other dolls of similar kinds, i.e. Bratz, my little pony, other dolls with brush-able hair, knock off brands etc. is a synthetic fiber. Usually a low grade of toykankalon or kanekalon. The main difference between these two types of synthetic fiber is that one is heat sensitive while one is heat resistant. Human hair is far too expensive for the global yearly mass production of dolls and toys. Human hair is also unhygienic and far too delicate for an application such as this. Some very exclusive dolls made before the mass production of dolls such as "barbie" had human hair, however those dolls were cherished art forms not extrusion plastic and intended for today's consumer "throw-away" culture.
