Allow me to present, Delilah Fields with textured hair:

Wow this took forever! I used the same process as xCanadensis used in her YouTube video on turning Zooey Electra into a Novi Stars doll, which in my case meant braiding the hair around 101 Pipecleaners, boiling the hair, freezing the hair, waiting 2 days for everything to finally dry, unwrapping all 101 Pipecleaners, separating the curls to give the hair more volume, and using hair ties to style it into puffs. Needless to say I was TIRED after all of that, but I think the result was SO worth the effort!

Recently taught myself to do 60's flips on my dolls in order to assist in my WIP vintage barbie restyles (using a modified version of this tutorial- I use coffee stirrers instead of bobby pins and I secure the rollers to the head with straightpins instead of holding them with elastic, and I also do two layers of rollers instead of one) and I cannot stop flipping my dolls lol

First Quick Curl/Doctor Barbie Repro:

(the pins were there to keep her tendrils down until the hairspray dried lol) Then Walk Lively Steffie (On a repro body bc the WL body is annoying):

And now my duplicate 2001 Hello Baby Licca-Chan:

I'm pretty ecstatic to have finally learned how to do this in a way that satisfies my intense perfectionism, because not knowing how to do a flip has been one of the few reasons why I haven't tried to get into Mod Barbie dolls, and also because it's been a LONG time since I've acquired such a new hair-related skill and it was really exciting to try something so out of my comfort zone lol

Let's talk about Frankie's yellowing hair problem.

It's unfortunately not the glue seepage as it's also happening to g2, which did away with the dreaded glue head. Saran is already an off-white when it's white, and it wasn't that noticeable at first, especially against her green skin. There is also the fact that I prefer the off-white to the stark white for most of their dolls.

This is a lineup of g1 original elastic hips Frankie, g2 from the dance line, g3 that I got for Christmas, and a g3 skultimate secrets I picked up around Halloween I think? Maybe longer.

The g3 SS doll, as you can see, has the whitest hair of the lot even if it's older [has been outside and in sunlight more. Idk when the batches were made] Then the g3 basic. That's because they unfortunately have polypropylene. I don't have any dolls with white poly hair, so I don't know how long it's going to stay that bright, but I'm willing to bet it lasts longer than the saran.

That being said, I think I still prefer the saran for now due to texture and how well the fiber holds. I will say against their new blue skin tone, the yellow stands out a bit more imo.

Just a wild comparison shot to g1 Frankie

Now some of you who want to avoid yellowing hair might think "Oh, but what about nylon?

Well I wondered this too so I wnt and grabbed my Rainbow High dolls with white hair to check it out and we'll it doesn't seem so bad but it's also not as old as G1 but there is a noticeable difference between Heather and Amaya who are about 3 years apart, though Amaya is a rescue who had been previously played with. So that might factor in some.

Though notably amaya and g3 Frankie have similar shades of white currently so we're already staring off brighter with Nylon as she came out around 2019.

Doll Hair Repair Tools

Updated Jan 05 2024 (because I got a new flat iron and I’m excited!!!!)

For a while, there, I was using this Conair flat iron (you can see when I bought it):

It’s here: https://amzn.to/3tL8Qtt

This one has 30 heat settings, though it doesn’t tell you what they are, exactly. They’re just labeled 1-30.

Kanekalon - 1

Nylon - 10 through about 15

Polypropylene - 10 through about 15

Foil and plastic tinsel - 1 to 10, choose whichever matches the hair fiber

Saran - 5 - 10

Brushed acrylic yarn - I know I have used this to flatten brushed acrylic but I don’t remember what setting it was on. You’d have to start at 1 and work your way up to figure it out, but it’s doable with this iron.

It was ok, but I found it difficult to get close to the scalp on a lot of dolls and ponies with my flea comb, which gives the smoothest flattening. The Conair also had a problem where the plates only really touched each other at the very tip, and that’s not very useful, honestly. It’s difficult to get a good flattening unless you’re committed to doing 1/4th inch sections at a time.

I started seeing really narrow flat irons on Instagram, and went looking for one to try.

I found this one:

Now this one, which is here: https://amzn.to/3S7jLqA

I am so impressed!!!!!

It tells you the actual temp (in Fahrenheit; important to know), but not only does it show you the temp you’ve set it to, it shows the temp it actually is! You can watch it count up as it heats up! That’s super handy and makes it easier to know if it’s malfunctioning.

it also beeps at you when it’s ready.

It’s lowest temp is 120F which is far too cool to even do anything to Kanekalon, meaning this flat iron works for many 80′s and 90′s Barbies that are otherwise difficult to smooth out without melting their hair. I haven’t tested, yet, whether it’ll work on Creata hair without melting it.

I found 200 is right around when I could feel the hair starting to stick to the plates, so for Kanekalon I recommend 190 and no higher than 200.

For nylon, 250 is where it started to feel a little sticky, so 240 to 250 is about as high as you’d want to go. Nylon is pretty hardy and may tolerate a slightly higher temp. Go higher at your own risk.

Polypropylene needs a temp right about where Nylon is but I didn’t test it to find out the exact right setting.

Regardless of which flat iron you’re using, remember to wash and condition the hair first, to get the best results.

Ironing damp hair works best, but you don’t want it dripping wet. Dripping wet hair can result in boiling hot drops in your lap, or water getting into the flat iron and causing an electrical short. Towel the hair off, first.

To get the smoothest hair with the flat iron, I use a handled, metal flea comb to lead the iron.

https://amzn.to/3S5ICv6

You do want metal tines. They aren’t going to snag on or tear the individual hair fibers the way plastic tines can. Though avoid any metal combs that are punched from a sheet rather than made of individual wires. Those will destroy everything with their sharp edges

This comb having a handle lets me keep my hands away from the heating elements on the flat iron without needing to wear heat-resistant gloves.

These dog combs are excellent for detangling prior to making your final passes with the flea comb.

https://amzn.to/41UpX8U

The wire tines are smooth and gentle with hair, but it is also unyeilding so you do have to be cautious that you’re not ripping or tearing through tangles.

If you have a lot of knots that are difficult to remove, try a cat slicker brush.

https://amzn.to/47mw4DT

Again, the wires are metal and won’t shred your hair fiber. Using a cat slicker over tangled hair will make an awful noise, but that noise isn’t the hair tearing like it would be with the metal combs above, it’s the sound of the wires being pulled back and then springing up again.

A slicker brush yields to the tangles a bit and doesn’t pull.

You do have to be careful with a slicker, though, because the wire bristles are very fine and will stab you.

I do work with older Barbies sometimes, and sometimes they have Kanekalon hair that’s supposed to be crimped. Kanekalon can’t take much heat and melts easily, so again, you need a variable temp tool.

This multi tool works: https://amzn.to/3S5aT4W

I haven’t tried using it to flat iron because it’s rather wide, but I have successfully recrimped Kanekalon on the lowest heat setting, and nylon on the second or third setting.

You can see that this crimper combo tool is the same brand as the new flat iron mentioned above, but I think this one is in Celsius. I’m not 100% on that.
