Barbie Doll Hair Replacement

Giriş

This guide will show you how to replace damaged doll hair using the rerooting process.

Children may chop off doll hair and leave it chopped unevenly, seemingly ruined. When this hair is ruined it's possible to replace it with other doll hair or yarn. This is applicable to not only barbie dolls, but many other brands as well. Using just a reroot tool, replacement hair, and hot glue, it's possible to bring these dolls back to usable condition. Experience is not needed, but the time this process takes may vary depending on how thin you make the replacement hair and sections.
