Yes, if we're going to list mini-dolls as minifigures then it stands to reason that mini-doll hair should be listed in minifigure hair. Although it makes perfect sense to keep mini-doll torsos, legs and heads in their own categories and not mix these in with traditional minifigure torsos, legs and heads. Of course the hair is slightly different in that the pieces can be used with either mini-dolls or minifigures. It makes sense to stick the lot in one category, and the same with headgear, whether it is for mini-dolls or minifigures. It would also be good to finally sort the issue of the hat and hair pieces. Any random hat-with-hair piece could be found in one of four different categories: minifigure hair minifigure headgear mini-doll hair mini-doll headgear A big hat and a tiny bit of hair - but goes in hair   *  73213pb01 Minifigure, Hair Combo, Hair with Hat, Short with Molded Black Floppy Witch Hat Pattern Parts: Minifigure, Hair Bigger hair than hat - but goes in headgear   *  16178pb02 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet Construction with Molded Nougat Ponytail Hair Pattern Parts: Minifigure, Headgear A similar mini-doll part to the headgear above - but goes in hair   *  2137pb02 Mini Doll, Hair Combo, Hair with Hat, Long with Molded Medium Azure Bicycle Helmet Pattern Parts: Mini Doll, Hair Mini-doll headgear with hair and it goes in headgear (but no mention of hair!)   *  29587pb01 Mini Doll, Headgear Hood with White Bangs and Magenta Bow Pattern Parts: Mini Doll, Headgear I'd stick the lot into a single category rather than spreading them across four. It doesn't really matter if it goes in headgear, into hair or into a combined headgear with hair category. I'd go for the latter given how many of this type of piece we are now getting.
