We all love seeing dolls who have been well-loved (or maybe not loved enough) get a new lease on life because someone took the time to give them a little extra TLC. One of our readers, Flower, gave her Molly a hair makeover and was nice enough to share with us how she did it. [...]
I just LOVE the before and after photos Diana sends us of dolls she has rescued – whether from Goodwill, a Thrift Store, eBay or otherwise. Let’s take a look at what she has been up to lately! This doll is Gotz and she is Jessica from Precious Day with a different hair style then [...]
My kids are on Spring Break this week which means my office time is going to be inconsistent at best this week – but it also means we have a little more time to just play with the dolls and be creative. Last night I was relaxing by doing doll hair. I posted some of [...]
Why pay $20 to have this adorable hairstyle done on your doll’s hair at the American Girl Salon, when it is SOOOO easy to do yourself? And, you don’t have to save this cute style just for Easter, but if you use colorful rubber bands and add a pretty bow, it is perfect for a [...]
A few weeks ago there was a photo on Pinterest of a sock bun turned into reindeer antlers that is just so cute, but I decided to do my own take on a silly reindeer hairstyle for your dolls. Gwen is going to a Crazy Christmas Party this evening and wanted to do something fun [...]
I have a case of the Fridays, and while I am working on posting another giveaway for you this afternoon, I needed to procrastinate a break first I find doing doll hair to be very relaxing and when I saw this cool four strand braid photo on Pinterest, I just had to try it. It [...]

One of our readers, AGOverseasFan, always submits beautiful photos to our reader photo events and one of the questions she gets asked most is “how do you curl your doll’s hair to it looks so good?” She did a YouTube tutorial to show you how she does it. I recommend using the Fabric Softener Spray [...]
One of the most frequently asked questions I get is “how can I tame the frizzies in my doll’s hair?” A pretty common technique is to give your doll a “Downy Dunk” – where you wash your dolls’ hair, then soak it for an extended time in Downy fabric softener. The results of a Downy [...]
Megan is back with a new hair how-to video! She is a huge fan of The Hunger Games (I am not, but that’s okay – I can still appreciate it) and saw the movie with her older brother while I was in Ireland. She decided to recreate the “Katniss” character using an American Girl doll [...]
Over the weekend I had a lot of fun with the girls doing doll hair. I still can’t get over how a-dor-able BFC Addison’s hair turned out and I must say that I am happy with the way my newest Ellowyne Wilde’s curls worked, too. If you remember, Aine came with her hair very neatly [...]
The 18″ doll line from BFC Ink has been very, very popular and the dolls are reasonably priced, but the biggest disappointment has been their hair – it is AWFUL! We have kept our Addison’s hair in a braid because it is just a big mess. Look at those ends!! UGH! And that is pretty [...]
I absolutely love the color of my new Ellowyne’s hair, but after I took it out of the style she came in, I decided she needs a new do. Yesterday Megan and I stopped at Sally Beauty and picked up a few things I need to do doll hair and that she needs for doing [...]

One of the hairstyles that McKenna wears is the crown braid: The crown braid is one that my gymnast daughter Megan wears in her hair all the time. She either does the crown braid or a variation [...]
The classic ballet bun is a fairly easy style to do on your doll’s hair, but depending on the length, thickness and whether the hair is all one length or layered, sometimes it can be tricky to make look tidy. Megan has found a way to do the ballet bun style with a bit of [...]
Kanani’s long hair is a lot of fun to play with and you really can do some neat hairstyles with it, but you do need to be careful with it, too. We actually have found that if we keep Kanani’s hair braided when she is not being played with it doesn’t have a chance to [...]
My older daughter Megan loves everything about hair, makeup, nail polish and fashion. She even has her own blog where she does reviews of her own that are age appropriate for tween/teen girls called Razberriez.com. Even better, she loves to make videos!
