Dolls Need Care, Too!

Hi, this is a guest post with....Felicity! Yay! We all know I'm your favorite, right? ;)

Anyway, this is a post about how to properly care for your doll's hair. We can't tell you when you brush too hard, so it's up to us to post it!

 Every doll needs to look her best, so.... no fly-aways! Brushing your dolls hair with a NEW tooth brush can take away those fly-aways!
REMINDER:
Remember not to brush your doll's hair with your toothbrush...always get a new un-used tooth brush!

 Properly caring for your doll's hair can insure years of silky fun hair, that can be styled many times! Also, NEVER EVER EVER use your doll hairbrush on your own hair!!!! Your hair has oils (everybody's hair does) that can damage your doll's hair, possibly leading to baldness.

 A few ideas of what you should have to style and care for your doll's hair:
*Tooth brush
*Hair-do-das
* AG Doll hairbrush
* Spry Bottle (not shown)
There are so many more ways to care for your dolls, other than just her hair! Try looking them up with parent's permission.

No Entry For Today

Today's weather is no better than before. Rainy, rainy, rainy. I'll post my new hairstyle tomorrow. I (finally) have a *real* lamp, so I guess I could, but tomorrow would be a better day to take pictures with real sunlight (Have us people ever heard of such a amazingly bright thing?). In my area we had a flood warning on Wednesday. So it hasn't really cleared up. I redid my Doll's Room. Yes, just after I showed you it. ;o)
Since I have no new pictures to show you I'll show you a few of my favorite hairstyles I've done.

 I've noticed a few of my favorite hairstyles I've done has been on my beautiful Felicity doll.

 Top of Samantha's hairstyle. I think this is a awesome style for bangs. And real simple, too.

 Beautiful style. Doe's Felicity's ends look frizzy to you?

 Just a little different.
AWESOME HIGH PONY! WHOA!!!!
I LOVE this look. Love it.

40 days of Lent, 40 days of hairstyles. day 4& 5

 I'm doing Sunday early because I won't be on Sunday. ;o) Madeline's Hair Salon is now so popular all the dolls had to try! Here is them waiting in line!

 Katie was waiting right next to the chair. When I saw her, I said, ''Katie you dear! Yes I'll do your hair! So sit right down!''
And today's hair style is....
ELECTRIC HIGH PONY!

 Take a small part in the front of your dolls hair...

 ...and braid. To make it look cooler braid away from her face. Use a bobby-pin at the end. :o)

 Do the same with the other side. Put the other braid in with braid #1 (in the bobby-pin).

 Pull hair up into high pony tail.

 And whoa! it's bee-u-t-ful!

 This is what the top looks like; awesome for the first day of school, right?!

 This one is for Sunday. Katie loved her first do, so now she came back for another one!
Tomorrow's style....
COOL SCHOOL BUN!!

 This is what you'll need. You also need this for the style up. :)

 Put dolls hair into a ponytail.

 Twist.

 Take half way, and put in bobby-pin right where my thumb is. (My hands don't really look that weird, it's just the sun and the camera, right?)

 This is what it'll look like. I think it's kinda cool.

Beautiful Katie! Rockin' with her style!

40 days of Lent, 40 days of hairstyles. day 3

Today's model is Miss Kit! Kit's hair is hard to style, because of how short it is. I'll be showing you many cute ways you and your short haired doll can enjoy!

 While Felicity is taking a ''long-needed'' rest...

 ...Kit can't wait to take her turn!
Today's hairstyle is....
HALF-WAY PONY TAILS!

 This is what you'll need. a doll hairbrush (optional), 2 hair bands, any sort of decor for hair (optional).

 Put hair into two halves. Take one half.

 This is the tricky part! Take one hair band and put one side into opening ONCE. Do it a second time, but stop somewhat half way. Make sure it is secure. It should look like this.

 Take other half...

 ...and do the same thing. It is OKAY if it is not perfect!

If you messed up one side (like I did), you can take your hair decor and pin it to the side. This way, it doesn't show much. Kit's soooo happy to have her hair done!
I hoped you liked it, and if you have any ideas for more hairstyles just comment below!

40 days of Lent, 40 days of hairstyles. day 1 & 2

Sooo... The title says a lot. I'll be showing you step-by-step instructions on how to do pretty hairstyles on your doll! And yes, that means I figured out how to upload pictures! Yay me!!! I've decided to do it on dolls with different hairstyles (cuts, a.k.a. short, curly, layered, long, hair) , so if you have Kit you won't be disappointed!(The first hairstyle though is for dolls with long hair.)
Yesterday's hairstyle....
FLIP-BRAID.

Yes, this is ''new'' Felicity with her head! She'll be my model for today, say ''Hi,'' Felicity!

This is what you'll need. A doll hair brush (optional), 2 hairbands, and 1 small clip (like the one shown.).

Gather your doll's hair in low pony-tail.

Pull into to two halves, like shown (the marker is only to show you to do like so).

 Flip pony tail inside opening. It should look like this. (Tighten it by pulling hair band gently up.)

 Then braid. For better results, once braided brush ends. (Like I should of done, ha ha!)

 Felicity loves her hairstyle! I bet you're doll would, too! (It doesn't matter if she's an AG doll or not, just as long as she has long hair!)
Today's hairstyle.....
FLIP-BRAIDED BUN!
(You know, I'm making up my own names, right? Ha ha!!)
First of all, this is a hairstyle for dolls with long hair. Second, do  the same thing as before in the hairstyle up.

 Take the braid and push it up into the opening. There should be still a small opening.

 This is a backside view of it. You need to be able to see hair, so you know where to clip.

 Clip hair. Make sure you clip in middle, and make sure it is attached to her wig.

Beautiful Felicity! Thanks Felicity for helping!
So, there it is! Please comment if you like it!
