Love the transformation! She is a doll I still need to add to my collection. I do have the McDonald’s mini version but her polypropylene hair dry rotted and fell off so I had to reroot her. I’ve had these types of earrings break before and have usually had luck super glueing them back together. My splash n color Barbie had this happen and I was able to get her earring back together. You might also be able to use acrylic nail filler to get it together again. Much love 💕💜

Your techniques are superb! Your restorations always turn out SO GOOD!! Maybe you can take the boot earrings and restyle them? Like maybe glue them on to another pair?

[@FanciullaDanubiana]

She looks fabulous after the glowup! The new earrings are nice too and fit her aesthetic. I've only had this doll with broken earrings. I have Tara Lynn too with the Cowboy hat earrings, but when she arrived, it turned out that someone gave her a bad haircut, so she needs to be rerooted. I don't remove earrings, unless I want to transfer them to avoid the breakage. If the doll's earrings have been removed a long time ago, it's really difficult to put a new one in. I've struggled with that too. I hope someone can send you the other half. It was nice seeing the mini Western Stampin' Barbie shortly.

[@Barbination]

[@annachronica]

A small tip about removing dolls' earrings: it is best to soften the doll's head with hot water (similarly to a boil wash) and then pull them out. It will go much smoother. And since you are an adult collector who likes to redress dolls, I also recommend snipping the "stopper" part of the earrings off with a nail clipper or cutting pliers, so next time it will be much easier to change them up. The stoppers were meant to be there so that kids don't lose them during rough play, and, obviously, this is not a concern for us adults. Otherwise, a lovely makeover as always!

[@Barbination]

Thanks for sharing the tips with me! 😌🩷✌🏻

[@Miaka1805]

Try a sewing pin. Push it softly through the top of the earing and use the pin as peg.

@@Barbination hopefully that works, don't want you to be sad :)

[@xSHAnDIRrx]

I really feel your pain, I've broke an IT doll earring recently in a same place. But you probably still can fix yours - just remove stopper (so it won't stress in the future) and use glue or even an acetone as it usually melts hard plastic, just be very careful with it.

[@Barbination]

[@dollminatrix1375]

Small tip, when it comes to detangling the hair, it’s actually best to put conditioner in the hair first then detangle. The air conditioner lubricates the hair and makes it easier to undo any brand and tangles and knots. Works for any doll hair type.

[@Polaroid.pixie90]

Another great tip is mixing part fabric softener and water in a spray bottle to detangle and work from the ends up. Because barbie has synthetic hair this method works really well with less breakage

[@dollminatrix1375]

@@Polaroid.pixie90 actually fabric softener doesn’t do anything really. It actually needs to shine. This is why drag queen use it on synthetic wigs. I have been doing hair specifically on dolls for the past 15 years. I used to actually do hair for far out toys and a few others. Number one thing. Saran is terrible. Dog brushes are pointless when you can literally just use a regular detangling brush. And heat tools are the way to go. Shine serum is your friend. Boil washing is fine, but using a steamer is more efficient.

[@Barbination]

Adding shine serum to cart ✅ So you apply hair conditioner to the hair when it’s still dry, then detangle with a brush, THEN boilwash (or dip it). I mean I know your work so any kind of hair tip you give girl, IM ALL EARS taking notes and everything haha 😆🩷

[@Polaroid.pixie90]

I’ve never tried a steamer, i’ll be adding this method to my tips and tricks! Love all doll collectors coming together with helpful tips and what works best for them 😊

[@dollminatrix1375]

@@Barbination no. You get the hair wet. Wash it. The put conditioner in and massage it through then detangle. Less stress on the hair. Works for all hair types on dolls. As for shine serum, only use one drop and massage it through the hair. If you use too much it can make the hair look greasy.

[@juliamenezes8053]

Talking about the earrings is the same response I had a few days ago with Pearl swimsuit Kira the neck snapped. I saw the pieces but one was missing maybe down the drain or it was boxed that way. I was upset but I fashioned a new neck for the body it still needs to get bedazzled into a statement necklace, I know big jewelry its the only thing I could do.

[@Barbination]

aahh I hate it whenever that happens! But seems like handeled it pretty well! 😅✨ Good idea to bedazzle it!

so I thrifted a locket surprise barbie and after washing her hair all the former hair structure came back. Either way I was really lucky or idk what they did to her hair.

My thrifted totally hair for example would need to be "crapped" (sorry, idk what its called in english) again.
