Samantha's New Hair: A Restoration Album

[jennifermarym]

For all those interested...I have an old Samantha and she had barely any hair left after years of being loved. I didn't want to replace the whole wig because I want to keep her as original as possible.

I went to my local doll store and bought a wig identical to her hair color and then hand-sewed each strip of hair into her existing wig. It took hours, but she looks beautiful.

I thought it might be interesting to those of you who really don't want to re-wig, but still want your doll to have hair. [img]smile.gif[/img]

My fried saw what I did and she is bringing me her Kirsten tomorrow!

This is my first album, so I hope you all enjoy it!

Awesome job, she looks great! Im glad that you were able to find a way to fill out her hair and not get rid of her old wig! BTW, how long did you let her hair soak in the wig shampoo and downey dunk? [img]graemlins/smarty.gif[/img]

Shampoo was about 5 minutes and the Downy Dunk was three hours (I suggest watching a really long movie to kill time) [img]smile.gif[/img]

You did a fantastic job. Sam looks so happy with her new look!

You did a beautiful job. It was nice that you could restore the hair without changing the original look of her light brown hair. It was a bit creepy to see Samantha's head only with the hair soaking in the vase!!! [img]eek.gif[/img]
