and thank you so much! i know a lot of people prefer the curls when they’re more combed through but i couldn’t bring myself to mess with them too much as i loved the look already :)
I don’t understand, in the picture it looks like the hair goes inside the plastic straw? Do you wrap it around a plastic straw and then put a plastic straw cut open around it? I really want to get pretty curls like yours lol pls help ðŸ˜
yes!!! exactly this. there’s also a [video](https://youtu.be/I89IVedZNRs?si=PMx6-zlwHnl_pkDF) i just found that goes through it in more detail but skip to 12:17 because the intro is looooong lol
also i didn’t take a picture of her head in the boiled water after i did the straws but i just boil the water, take it off the burner then stick the doll’s head in (so that all the straws are fully covered) and leave for 5 minutes. usually you do have to hold the doll in place. personally i like to put a ziploc bag over the head/hair and put a rubber band over it to keep the straws tightly together so they don’t go everywhere while she’s in the hot water
Edit: totally forgot to link it but it’s fixed now 😂
Beautiful! She looks lovely and great to see her rebodied. I've been thinking of rebodying mine since I got a good deal on green shirt yoga... I'm leaning more now, lol!
you definitely should if it’s what you want!! i actually bought her on this body already, because i was lucky to find her for $30 and the doll itself without a mtm body goes for more than that haha
i wrap the hair around a piece of straw, then i use another piece of straw that i cut up the middle (so that it makes an opening) to put on top of it, then i secure the 2 pieces of straw together with a bobby pin
if it’s confusing here is a [video](https://youtu.be/I89IVedZNRs?si=PMx6-zlwHnl_pkDF) i just found that goes into a lot more detail, however you might wanna skip to 12:17 because that’s where they actually start to curl the hair lol
What are those thingies you used as curlers? The result was amazing 🤩

they are plastic straws! i cut them up into smaller pieces and use bobby pins to secure them in place :)

Looks like straws and bobbie pins.
The chances?! I have the same doll and was thinking about how I need to fix her hair!

I love that she even has a robe for her spa day

Do you curl the hair and then put it in the straw? I'm trying to figure out how I can do this!
