The power of kanekalon hair. I restored Beach Blast Teresa in 2012, but couldn't get her hair like original with saran hair. Rerooted for the 2nd time last week. Fin. #dollrestoration #barbie #beachblastteresa #vintage #1980s

A side by side comparison of Molly's toes when I got her, covered in orange sharpie stains, and after a day and a half of benzoyl peroxide treatment, stains significantly faded.

It's been a day and a half of acne treatment, and we're already seeing results.

You can get stains out of vinyl with benzoyl peroxide acne cream, sunlight, and a lot of patience. I've been meaning to start the process with Molly's toenails but didn't want to put the entire doll outside. I had the wherewithal yesterday to start the process tho.

A child who probably had a serial killer name like Geranium chopped this Barbie’s face off. I restored her last year, but decided to redo it.

I bet Geranium now gives her grandkids bad haircuts just because.

Do you reseal your early G1 monster high dolls faces before fixing their hair?

Asking cause...
My poor Gloom Beach Frankie is suffering.

When I thrifted this doll, she had a serious case of Dreadlock. Time, patience, conditioner, and a fine toothed comb got me to this point...

*pat me and tell me I'm a good little space-alien

A low-stakes, easy makeover today for Dogbite Boobs Barbie here 💜 She was already pretty, but a little blush and lipstick goes a long way!

The bites were minimised too!

here’s the before & during #dollrestoration pics- how she looked when i picked her up, soaking her clothes in oxy-clean, and taking a nap while her hair dried after she got a lovely shampoo!

Adventures in #dollrestoration: Did you know that taking a hair flattener or a curling iron at the lowest temps to wet doll hair straighens frizzy plastic hair strands? The doll itself was $20 on eBay so if I accidentally melted and burned the plastic… uh… oops… but that didn’t happen thank god.

My latest re-root project is done!!! Barbie Twelve Dancing Princesses: Edeline on the Target Exclusive Curvy MTM body. I made the jewelry, skirt, belt, purse, and painted the boots. The purse is made from linen I wove using a rigid heddle loom. #dollsky #barbie #dollrestoration #dollreroot

I love my girl and I love how the ring light makes her eyes kinda glow spookily. 💖 #iloveher #pattiplaypal #pennyplaypal #dollycleanup #dollrestoration #vintagedoll #vintagetoy #playlinedolls #dollcollector #dollcollecting #vintagegal

i restore dolls sometimes <3 in hopes of creating less waste in the landfills + it’s satisfying !!

Wish there was a way to post stuff from Insta. Latest creative spark: doll restoration. Did you know that replacing cyborg eyes involves using boiling water to soften the vinyl to pop the eyes out & in? A sturdy wooden spoon handle works wonders too. Kinda creepy but easy enough! #dollrestoration

I have a question for doll collectors and #dollrestoration folks!
I have #Barbie dolls in a new, clean, dry plastic tote, and they're all kind of piled in there right now (I know. Sacrilege.) I'm trying to go through my tote and I noticed these dark green stains on two faces. 1/2

Also, update on the crusty sisters (which I've taken to calling them lul)! They are home! They are a mess! The green girl is def porcelain but the red girl is something else. I'm gonna have to do a lot of research to get these gals gussied up but I'm excited! #antiquedolls #dollrestoration #dolls

Happy Friday 💙💙💙. Finished up the doll restoration. That was fun and a little challenging as there are no patterns for this 60’s doll. So, I improvised. I really enjoyed the process. And I know who it’s for. I hope you are staying warm and enjoying your day. #dollrestoration

A before and after of a Felicity AG doll's hair going from frizzy to fairly sleek

The same before and after subject matter but focus on how the hair looks when picked up

Last night I made an effort to restore Felicity's hair. It was so frizzy, but I got it pretty well under control. It's still rather stiff, but idk if I'll ever be able to fix that.

I made a sympathy purchase last week. Unfortunately her problem wasn't age, it was her ghastly factory paint...she was serving 2023 Fashionista Barbie.

So I had a quiet evening of painting today💜

Restoration of my first Briar Beauty doll. She had bobblehead syndrome so I had to fix that. She's currently wearing g3 Draculaura clothes. #everafterhighdoll #Briarbeauty #dollcollector #dollrestoration

I always said I would never get a Malibu Barbie because I think she's foul lol, but then I found out about the Spiel Mit German exclusive version and she's lowkey stunning, so I bought this janky queen and gave her a quick makeover ✨ #barbie #vintagebarbie #malibubarbie #dollrestoration

13 Wishes Draculaura doll from Monster High. She is a pink vampire with pink and black hair, a pink and black dress, and gold jewelry. One version has messed up hair and the other has restored, styled hair.

The same Draculaura restoration from before.

The same Draculaura doll posed to be sitting on a shelf.

Restored this 13 Wishes #Draculaura that I've been holding onto for a little bit. She had her hair cut, so I had to reroot it and source some missing accessories. But I'm super happy with how she came out!
