How to Add Barbie Hair Without Completely Re-Rooting their Hair
You need:
-a wig, or some kind of hair source
-low heat hot glue gun (prepare to use your finger to smooth out glue, or just use a metal tool of some sort.)
-scissors
Step 1: DO NOT RIP THE HEAD OF. IT WILL TAKE FOREVER TO PUT IT BACK ON!!
Step 2: Cut off the Barbie's original hair. Make sure her most of her hair is completely gone. If it isn't all gone, her original hair will show through.
Step 3: Put a hair tie around the section of hair from your wig (we advise you don't use your hair) that you will be cutting off to use for your doll. Cut underneath the section of hair so that the hair tie remains, holding the hair together. Carefully pull out generous sections of hair from the ponytail. Set them down, so they are ready for you to use.
Step 5: On the doll's bald head, put on a small dot of glue. Carefully place the section of hair onto her head with your finger or tool and push it into the glue. Let that dry, and don't pull of the hair that wasn't firmly glue on and was on top. Now put a dab of glue on top of the piece of hair and smooth it with your finger or tool.
Continue this step for her whole head. It is your choice whether to make a hair line or not. Depending on the amount of glue you put on top of the pieces of hair, you may or may not have specks of glue on top of the hair. Don't worry about this, it will fade over time and/or fall off.
There you go! This technique isn't perfect, but it does have a semi-nice result, and is better than an ugly barbie. It's fast, easy, and affordable!
