Adding some photos of my daughter's #41 here. Love these beautiful eyes!
This doll has a very pretty wig. It is shot through with brown highlights, not the auburn lights that Jess and Ruthie have. The wig is not so thick as to be unmanageable, but not so thin as to be frustrating.
As can be seen in the first photo below, the doll's hair was flattened on one side straight fresh out of the box due to how AG sweeps the hair aside into the hair net for shipping. It was also kind of slick-feeling. However, it curled up just fine with a little water and fluffing. We maintain her curls with water spritz and finger curling, and occasional brushing.
I personally think the curlier-haired dolls tend to get ratty hair without regular attention, so I do not recommend this doll for a young girl unless she is a very careful child. My daughter likes to sleep with her dolls and after one night with this one decided never again, because it bothered her how messy the doll's hair got. Overall grade A- for some maintenance issues.
