i got this mattel creations alice in wonderland doll a few weeks ago and her hair is super frizzy! even my metal comb struggles to get through it and i really dont want to damage her!! every time i try to fix a doll’s hair, i ruin it a little bit—usually its just a budget doll with poly hair so its fine but this doll was vert expensive and even though i just got her, she’s very special to me. i’d rather not do a boil wash. is this something some conditioner and a warm thorough rinse could do? i don’t really want to even take off her bow

eta: if anyone has any tips on how to keep her collar lying down i’d also appreciate that!!

honestly i think this thing looks so cute, castaway couture!!

i made the wig so it can be taken off to reveal his bald head (also in case i want to change his persona) and ira is even detachable, but lets be honest, she’s the best part of his hair

Hello all, I’m on a hunt for the perfect shoes for my customized Barbie Dream Bestie! I’m turning a Renee doll into Kagome from Inuyasha (photo above!), so I need a bit of a plain shoe. I’m open to painting but I don’t *love* painting shoes so if I can find something thats already brown, that would be best. I keep finding listings for old Ken shoes (slides 3-4) that I love the look of, but obviously they’re going to be huge—I’m not sure if it’s possible, but maybe I could shrink and reshape them slightly into a tiptoe-shape? I think they are rubber so I’m not sure if acetone would shrink them or if that only works on vinyl. Otherwise, the only other viable option I can find on ebay are some Disney ILY loafers (slide 2) that I’d have to paint. If anyone has any insight or ideas, I’d love to hear them!! Thanks in advance 🩷

I am 99.99% sure she is 1996 Duke University Cheerleader Barbie, did a LOT of research to figure that out, but I can’t find anywhere that says what hair type she has… It does feel a lot like saran, but I know a lot of 90s dolls had kanekalon hair and I don’t know what that feels like to compare. Hopefully someone here knows or can maybe tell by the photos?? Her hair is sooo buttery and I really want to keep it nice but I also want to get rid of that ponytail bump!!

AH I’m freakin obsessed with this teeny tiny outfit I made out of a couple scrunchies! She still needs her blush and a touch up on the lips but almost done! I call her Cutie-Mouth Kirby

I understand if this post gets deleted but I’m a bit confused and I can’t figure out what to search to find my answer. So I found some orange sherbet crates today and was finally able to unlock the sixth floor of the tower. I thought there was supposed to be a special floor and wallpaper there that some people unlocked early? But there’s nothing here

Also don’t mind the non matching shoes, ebay seller messed up the order, it was supposed to just be a pair of the strappy ones :/ they’re gonna fix it so it’s fine! anyway, my plan is to paint the shoes, has anyone ever painted LOL OMG shoes? i’m not sure where to start: remove the original paint first? or just paint on top? does it matter? thanks 😭

eyelashes are so hard how do you guys do it 😭

okay so this happened because i pushed the bangs backwards to remove/paint the faceup, and when i took off the rubber band, all the short bang hairs were mixed together with the long hairs… am i gonna har to go through each hair and separate it out?? this is after trying to brush and section it out but she still looks bald. please help 😭
