Depending on hair style, especially a Blythe with a center-part hair style, it might look like there is a balding spot in the middle, but that is because the hair is pulled back and a slight amount of scalp will show as hair cannot be wefted to the very edge.\u00a0 When you remove your doll from the package and fluff her hair, this will not be seen.\u00a0 The spacing between each row of hair is about 5- 7 mm.<br \/>\n 7.
