I will be trying afro hair styling. We'll see what kind of trouble I get up to. I'll probably try one of those boil perms on at least one of them.

Of course you know I've redressed dolls for myself, but never for someone else. It was a little nerve wrecking, not knowing if the recipient would truly like her. But I think overall she did.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-40599466342475638442011-12-24T08:46:16.216-06:002011-12-24T08:46:16.216-06:00Debbie, Debbie, Debbie you did an awesome job!

I allowed it to air dry, still rolled, for about 48 hours, removed the pipe cleaners, and loosened the curls out with my fingers first then fluffed them with a plastic bristle wig-style brush. My technique is a modification of <a href="http://playbarbies.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/custom-rotini-or-halo-hair/" rel="nofollow">Kristl's tutorial.</a> (I did not zig-zag the hair on the pipe cleaners; I rolled it as you normally would, which is probably why Kristl's doll's curls appear tighter than mine.)<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-28009856245068649322011-12-23T18:53:07.367-06:002011-12-23T18:53:07.367-06:00These dolls are so beautiful!
