Coleco  Hair Types

1983-1989
 
The following information is for Coleco kids only.  I have compiled a list of different hair types found on CPK's.  The main thing to remember when looking at different hair types are key words like SINGLE, DOUBLE and LOOPED.  I hope this information may help you!  I have been doing a lot of reading and emailing other CPK collectors on the terminology of the hair types, so please bear with me.  I any of you may have other hair types that are not listed here please email a picture and description to me and I will add it to this site ( I will credit the info with your name).  Again, thanks to Rachel who help provide the terminology.
