I have some really good links for doing makeovers in case anyone is interested.

The first one is for restoring Barbie’s hair.

i that doesn’t work then you might want to try re-rooting….

In either case you may need some styling help….

But then, if all goes wrong there is always this one

http://www.rebeccachulew.com/ezine/moldedhair.html

and then there are some other tips that may come in handy…

In any event these pages have been up for a long time and who knows how much longer they will still be up. So, if you are interested, now would be the time to collect this information and store it on your computer.

If you are into making over or just styling fashion dolls I have a couple of links for you.
These are excellent tutorials on doing Barbie's hair.

The second link is a 2-pager. I found these some time ago and I would suggest that you save the pages if you are interested because they may not be around forever.

How About a Hair-do

Now that we have gotten this far, and even though i don't have the skirt done yet (you can use Annie's Attic or Paradise skirts) and i am still working on the neckline edging (which is posted to my private folder on SkyDrive) here is a lovely tutorial that can be easily adapted to doing Barbies hair: Edwardian Upswept Hair-do
Cynthia Howe has had this site up for quite a while and you can buy from her just about anything you need to the 1"=1' scale dolls. Her tutorials are easy to follow and excellently done. You can also purchase silk Ribbon in widths that are not easy to find. The link is under Valuable Links

Flash

Avon catalog had a lovely offer for a triple pack of those net body scrubs and Diana bought a set. What i thought was really neat about this was that the net clip cover for the scrubbies was just the right scale for doing doll hair nets (like the ones they use to put over your curlers before you go under the drier).or snoods. can easily gather the one end to a tight knot then thread ribbon through the other end and you have a quick and easy air net to protect your doll's hair while working up a pattern (for those try-ons to check to see if this is going to fit).
