I used a whole pack of pipe cleaners!! I took 3 plugs at a time and brushed them out with hair gel and a fine toothbrush. I carefully wrapped the strands around the pipe cleaner making sure to keep the hair smooth. I also dunked her in boiling water and then cold water, waited until she was completely dry to unravel.

Oh wow that’s so gorgeous!! She really suits this type of style!!


New-Variation3771

I’m so in love with how they turned out!


Karenml7

That is a LOT of work, looks great.


New-Variation3771

thank you!!!


fabposes

Wow it looks awesome. Imagine if MGA did this themselves. It's a shame they don't experiment more.


New-Variation3771

hopefully they start to! it would be incredible to have a doll with an afro or really tight short curls

Thank you! I'm gonna try this on my Krystal Bailey!


New-Variation3771

ooooouuuu that’s going to look so good

Omg pls post updates

I really want a second Ayesha to dye her hair brown but I didn't know what to do with the style because she doesn't have a part line. I may have to do this it suits her so much. Omg it's going to be so much work though.


New-Variation3771

that would look amazing!!!!!

Ooh you got lucky with those pipe cleaners, the ones I used bled into the hair :c what brand did you use??


New-Variation3771

oh wow i didn’t even consider that!!! i got them from target


imp_foot

I’ll have to try some target ones! The ones I used had the blue, red and the purple bleed out into the hair and now I have a stripy haired Barbie lol


glamourbuss

They look like locs! Stunning!

This hairstyle looks amazing on Ayesha ✨✨ What did you do between images 11 and 12 to make the curls so neat? Are the ends cut off?


New-Variation3771

yes i cut the ends off!!


Skye21hata

Omggggg I loveeeee . Would you consider charging to do such a hairstyle ?


New-Variation3771

it probably wouldn’t be worth it for the buyer due to shipping costs unfortunately but it’s super easy to do if your hands and fingers can take the repetitive process!

Now is the question of do I stop what I'm doing to do this to Coco and Krystal... Or do i continue my braiding madness and only do this to Coco?


New-Variation3771

okay coco would look AMAZING with these omg


bredani_462

This is so creative! Are they going to unravel eventually or is this a permanent style?


New-Variation3771

you could separate the curls (i did to one in the back to see if i liked it). but yes the curls do not relax or uncurl unless you want them to!

My oh my! I love it!

The dedication and the patience you are a true artist

Beautiful locs! 🤎 Thank you for sharing. You did that! 💅🏾


nataliescarlett

She looks fabulous!!


boyproblems_mp3

Beautiful work!


HanChan89

Beautiful work ♡♡ How long did it take all up?


New-Variation3771

off and on about 5 days! but all together maybe 5 hours for curling them and an hour for uncurling?


VegetableStay1011

You definitely ate this 😦😍


julietangel89

Absolutely gorgeous 😍


Crystalbinja

Wow, this is super cool!!! I didn't know that you could achieve this hair texture without rerooting the dolls completely. I'm definitely going to have to look into doing this!


New-Variation3771

highly recommend!! i reroot other dolls but rerooting a rainbow high doll takes a lot of hair and time so this is definitely the superior option!


squishythyriod

AMAZINNG!! god she looks so good with locs 🥲


jcatstuffs

I'm looking at doing something similar. I'm curious, what would happen if you brushed it a bit? Would it hold the curl a bit you think?

New-Variation3771

https://twitter.com/extrafirmtofu__/status/1640835361625497611?s=46&t=mryjXbBHZfwCI3UZX8yX-g i haven’t brushed one out but i have separated one! i imagine it’s similar but less neat?


jcatstuffs

Thank you for the photos!! It looks like it holds the texture pretty well, that's perfect.


Wolfyluv

Okay but with the bottle brush thingies in her hair she looked so pretty too!!


bunniesRcute69

Ok-Caterpillar-Girl

New-Variation3771

Notimeforvapids

Omg! They almost look like locs! This is super cool!


New-Variation3771

yes exactly!! i am planning on doing this to another rh doll that doesn’t have metallic hair i’m so excited for the results already 🥰


Notimeforvapids

She looks great! I JUST picked up an Ayesha at tj maxxx, so I put “Ayesha” on the Reddit search lmao and I’m looking at everyone’s awesome restyles! Yours takes the cake!!


New-Variation3771

she’s my fav rh doll!!! i have three 🫣 hahahaha and omg thank you so much!! have fun dressing her up and playing with her hair!! so cool you found her at tj maxx i might have to start searching there for rh dolls


Notimeforvapids

Ah! I lost count I think I have about 7/8 lol but I feel guilty because I started buying them as Barbie “fashion packs” since Mattel is downhill with clothing packs lol but I’m starting to grow a fondnesss of them and I really love that I got a cute black RH doll!! Tbh I may do ur technique after some playing around haha
