The Uniqueness of Two-Toned Hair for this Asian princess:

As we celebrate the diverse beauty of the world, our Barbie designers wanted to create a doll that would represent the enchanting allure of an Asian princess, while also adding a touch of unconventional style. This led to the creation of a head with two different hair colors – pink and black. The contrast between the vibrant pink and the sleek black combines to create a striking and unusual look, truly befitting an extraordinary Barbie.

One of my Superstar-Reroots

I haven’t posted very much in the last weeks. Now I’m going to change this. I wanted to show you one of my Superstar-Reroots. I did in 2012 I think. I ‘m a fan of  red haired Barbie dolls but in 1977 there were no red haired Superstars and I wondered what she would look like. And here is my result.

I have chosen a color called “Oxided Julia” for my reroot that had pink streaks in the red hair. I don’t think it has anything in common with the Color Magic Hair that was used for Julia in the late 1960s but I saw that it tended to turn from black  into a reddish tone. For the hair style I chose rope braids. They are easy  but you have lots of possibilities to work with them. The dress is a Best Buy dress from the late 1970s. I saw it and I thought it would match perfectly.

Just finished a new reroot

Today I finished the Beauty Secrets Barbie doll that I found on the flea market several weeks ago. Her hair was in such a bad condition that I immediately decided to do a reroot. Last weekend I finally found the time to do it. So here is the result.

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.

Right side of the head after step one.

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. 🙂
