- Hey all!! Either new to, or have been, collecting Barbie and want to take a crack at redoing that top knot? Here we go over how to reset a vintage Barbie topknot, bottom curl, and even how to make cheap, safe pearl earrings!
Just the earring tip was sooo worth it!
This was the easiest beginners video to follow and be successful at. I’m so glad I found this video. 😀
You’re so kind!! Thank you!!
she looks good luv the earring trick
Thanks so much Robert!!
Thank you so very much for all your help and ideas . I am about to do a Brunette #4 a Blonde #6 and the Uneeda Wendy doll ponytail. I have learned so much you and your daughter are wonderful!
You are so kind!! Thank you, and good luck!!
Your vintage girls are gorgeous. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm going to need to do this for a Barbie repro. I love the tip about the pearl earrings.
Thanks Flower Meerkat!! If you need any pointers, just holler!
I ve enjoyed your tutorial very much. I can never get that ponytail to turn out and now maybe I can thanks to you. Your Barbies are GEORGEOUS!
Thanks so much Retha! Please let me know how she turned out!
Thanks so much! I am going to use your technique to redo a ponytail on a repro Barbie Loves Elvis doll that needs some TLC (bought her out of the box.). Love the earring tip!
Beautifully done for a first time try. Im doing the same right with one like your doing. Getting her ready to become 1961 nurse look. I can't wait till she's complete 🥰🥰🥰
Love your vintage Barbie doll so much Sophia MARIA
Thanks so much!!
Thanks so much for this. I’m in the process of re-rooting a vintage bubblecut that had a partial crew cut by a previous owner. Recreating a bubblecut hairstyle is well beyond my skill set so I’ve opted for a conversion to a ponytail,
I am much more confident about styling the new hair now!
Good choice! I don’t think I could ever pull off a Bubblecut either! I’ve done a few ponys, and those are much easier, and look nice!
I just found a brunette #4 at my mother-in-laws and she’s in decent shape but needs her top knot redone and this video is so helpful!!
Still trying to figure out how to attempt to fix some pink staining around her mouth but I think it’s probably too deep to remedy… looks like she’s been making out with Ken HARD.
Oxy 10 cream, applied via a fine tipped cotton swab only on the stain, will make it fade after a few weeks, after wiping away and reapplying daily
She turned out beautiful💜
Thanks so much!!
Your dolls look gorgeous!!!
It looks very nice!

@@thatdollguy813 you should make an Instagram account for your doll collection! I would love to see some pictures of your dolls that you have fixed for example 💗
@@bratzliplogical Thanks so much for the tip! I just added my link!
@@thatdollguy813 perfect, I will make sure to follow you and check out your pictures 👍💗
I used to leave my new curls set by themselves with rollers for a looooong time with lots of hair gel in, do you mean they will set up permanently just with boiling water instead? Of course 2 of my 4 ponytails have shortened hair which makes the work harder, unfortunately ( I am a low budget collector and I like to save dolls that others do not want) .
I’m the same way, totally!! I’m always getting fixer uppers! Yes, the boiled water perm will set your curls overnight, once they’ve dried! Then you just take your elastic band over the curls, to the top of the top knot, roll down, until the curls all bunch at the bottom, and you’re set!
Lovely dolls! I especially liked your tip w the needle and dental floss! Even though it cooperate w you I CAN USE IT! I have a blonde #3 whose itty bitty bang curls are in great shape, AMAZINGLY. However, he hair is definitely shorter! This technique will help so much! THANK YOU!

How did she turn out?
saveing barbie from a life of naglect is great
This is great - I just bought a Bubble and I had a bonus #6 head in it that need some help. I need to get a new body for her but I think I'll give it a whirl. What do you do for the multicurl (just use more bobby pins)? I really love that look! I've subscribed - have you ever redone a Bubble's hair? I'm not finding much out there so far for videos on that.
Hi Colleen!! And welcome!! I'm so glad to see yo here! I bobbypin drinking straws and roll up to do my multi-curls, and clip with another bobbypin to hold in place. Then I just spoon boiled water over the curls without getting the topknot, and let air dry overnight. Then I take an elastic or ortho band, place it over the ponytail, up to the topknot, and slide it down as the curls at the bottom gather and separate, and viola! I've washed bubbles and used a Barbie brush to just brush and manipulate the hair until it takes on a shape that I like, working with the rooting pattern! Straight haired bubbles are the hardest to style cuz it just goes wherever it wants!
what do you use for green ear and how do you curl the little bangs thanks
Do you know how to make the bangs curly? I have the 35th anniversary one and get bangs are a practically straight
Where do you purchase your elastics? All I need are a few. Love your technique!!
Hi Irene! I get mine on ebay, and they are Heavy Duty 3/16" 4.8mm Non-Latex Elastics!
Thank you! Very helpful!
Hey, I just discovered that I have a ponytail, two skippers, a midge, a kiddle, a fuzzy haired Ken. My ken's hair is rubbed off in spots. Is it salvageable?
Absolutely!! I haven’t done one, but know that you can buy matching flocking! I’m not sure if you’d use spray adhesive and reflock, but I bet there are CZcams videos that can show you, and a good site for doll restoration supplies is www.restoredoll.com
How to get rid of green ear?
I do have a video of that as well! I use CLR and cotton ball ear muffs, applying daily until cleared up
i use straws for my bangs with little rubber bands from walmart
Do you have any tips for a 1963 midge?
Poor Midge! What does she need done?
All the lies the bold spot on barbie
Did he really just cut a hair strand of an antique Barbie?? 🤣🤣😍
Nope! No cut hair here! The piece that makes the top knot was always longer, because it needed to go around the ponytail, and still come to the same length as the rest when it was complete
🖤❤️💛💚❎🔥😤😍🎈🤦🏻♀️🎆🇬🇧❤️ I love you vintage Barbie doll 1960s
Thanks so much Vanessa! I'll be featuring more down the road!
Hi there!!! I am also an armature at fixing up my vintage dolls. What kind of hair do the vintage Barbies have? Both ponytail and the bubble cuts.
The Toy Grotto Hey there! I use to believe that it was mohair, but apparently it’s just a very fine saran!
