Perparing a new reroot

Last Sunday I was on a flea market and found a Beatuy Secrets Barbie doll with a lot of missing hair. Today I prepared the head for new hair. I cut the existing hair and put the rest out with several tools. Here is the result. The head is bold. Next step ist waiting for the new hair to arrive.

First step: Cut the hair very short. To cut the hair makes it easy to get the hair out of the head.

Step two: Put the short hair out of the head.

After step number two you have a bold head without hairs. It's now time to decide what hair color to choose.

My Barbie has a new hairdo now

As I wrote yesterday I gave my Malibu Barbie head a full reroot. Yesterday I started to style her. Since she has so much hairs now I needed more time than I expected to give her a new hairdo. I wanted for her a very extraordinary style because she will get a very special dress. I tried to give her a hairdo like Empress Elisabeth from Austria in a very famous painting with a kind of modern style. So here is my result. 🙂
