BARBIE AND KEN SALSA VIDEO

Hi everyone, 

This is a video I made, inspired in Latin Salsa  with Ken and Barbie dancing in a short video the song from Las Chicas del Can, titled "Juana La Cubana".  

It was fun making it. I hope you like it. I'll try to improve the technique. 

how to fix Barbie hair?

If you are wondering how to fix Barbie's hair when it is full, dirty, matte?? ... You are at the right place.

We all know how the doll's hair gets damaged, specially when it is over-brushed, washed with cold water and the overtime dirt build up. 

If you like to restore Barbie Dolls, this is procedure is a MUST, speciallly with second hand Dolls.  And it goes like this:

Step 1.  Detangled Barbie's hair  with a Barbie hairbrush or a comb. Do it patiently, not forcing the hair, since you can either lose a lot of hair of break the doll neck.  Start from the bottom of the hair working your way up. The key is the patience.

Once it's detanglet we have to wash it, even if it is not 100 % detangled. Make Barbie's hair wet and pour over the hair, shampoo with conditioner. This two elements will help to detangle and also will cleanse Barbie's hair.  Use a comb and brush from the tips working your way up. Once the hair seems detangled, rinse it with luke water. 

 Step 2. The hot bath. To make Barbie's hair look new again, we are going to dip Barbie's hair in hot, almost boiling water. 

Place boiling water in a glass container, pot or a plate with some depth. Then take the barbie doll and dip her hair into the water. While the hair is in the water, try to comb the hair, with a long brush or a comb with a handle so you don't touch the hot water. Repeat this technique until you feel Barbie's hair is smooth while combing the hair.

In case Barbie's hair doesn't feel smooth, then we have to do the hot bath directly on a pot while the water is boiling. We do the same, place the doll's hair into the boiling water, and dip it for about 5 seconds. Take the hair out, comb and repeat 4 or 5 times. Avoid touching the boiling water, and submerging the full Barbie's head into the pot with boiling water, only the hair. Place special attention to the edges of the hot pot not touching Barbie's body to prevent damage to it. 

Once the hair is smooth, then leave the Barbie doll to dry at room temperature. Don't use a hair dryer. 

Hope it helps. And enjoy renewed Barbie hair. 

BARBIE VIDEO PHOTOSHOOT

I got this doll not long ago, and I decided to play and make a short video. Reminded me a live photo shoot. 

BARBIE FASHIONISTAS PIVOTAL JOINTED

As Usual, I got this Barbie from the thrift store. I think I paid like $2.99 for a bag of 5 Barbie Dolls in great shaoe.. I love to find these deals with toys in great condition, so I can wash them and give a second chance.  I love this doll because she has pivotal body and it is a great posable doll. It works great posing for  pictures.  And the clothing looks great. 

Barbie pink legs

This is a Barbie ballerina with  pink legs that I am sure is part of the basic version of Barbie Doll.

The doll has a beautiful face, from the batch of dolls from the 2000s were they looked more teen and had smaller bodies. The quality of the dolls is great. Still made of soft plastic, only complain are those pink legs. Nothing better than natural skin color and be able to use pantyhoses but Mattel has to save money in doll's production and we end up with colored  limbs or trunks on Barbie. 

Barbie Top Model

  

The Barbie captured in the following pictures belongs to the series of Top Model Barbie. I got her in 2008 and she was one of the first series of Barbie with the new top Model body, which means less curves, nice details as the shape of the clavicle, narrowed legs and more detailed face and Make-up, smaller head, comparing with the new Barbie Dolls and excellent accessories as well an excellent attention to the detail of the clothing that come with this narrowed doll, which it really makes hard to make clothing for this new doll. 

redo hairstyle in Barbie

Hello! I want to share with you my Barbie Hair makeover. I was trying to give some life to her hair. I did a perm on her. As you can see in the pictures, her hairs was straight, and really at the beginning was matted as well, but I did the permanent straight hair technique to fix her hair and after I tried to make some curls on her. I think she looked really cute. But after a while I got bored again and I tried to make it more voluminous and I like more as reminds me the Barbie Doll hair in the 80s, when they had very rich and with volume. If  I had knew the secrets to fix Barbie Doll hair before... I use to brush the Barbie dolls hairs so much that the hair or would fall off  or become extremely matted. And as a child at that time, I would not have the chance to get Barbie Dolls very often, maybe just one per year... So I really tried to take care of them.

BARBIES REDOED

These are some pics that I took to my Barbie dolls that accidentally got from a Thrift Store. I fixed them, wash them and redo the hair, and these are the results. I am happy that many people gives away toys in good shape, because I can get them ;)

This is the Disney  Pocahontas Barbie doll from 1995. When I was kid, I begged to get her, but it didn't​ happend. 16 years later, found her. At the time of the pictures, I didn't have the original clothes, but eventually I got the outfit. 

 This is Barbie Angel, without her original outfit and will have. But still, she has a beautiful face, her head is bigger than the new ones, but she has great dark green eyes and gorgeous red lips, that makes her exceptional beauty. I got this Barbie in a thrift store. It was dirty with matted and tangled hair. Dolls was washed and hair boiled. This is the result.
