Savetheinternet.com The FCC is now deciding whether to reassert its authority to protect broadband access from phone and cable company take-over! The telecom companies want to be able to block access to online information and prioritize their own content and services over their competitors'.
The FCC needs to "reclassify" broadband and protect the open Internet for good. Our online future rests on the FCC putting the public interest before phone and cable company profits.  FreePress.net

Ponytails and Swirls


Blonde Ponytail #4


1. Ponytails


Blonde Ponytail #1 with Complete Face Repaint and Hair Restyle

Up-Do Hair Styles on Ponytails



Up-Do Style for a Titian Ponytail


More Up-Do Styles for Later Ponytails


Banana Curl - Another alternative to a complete re-root


 

Single Hard Curl - Dolls with examples of the single hard curl

Multi-Curl look for the Ponytails (as opposed to the single 'hard roll' curl) - Many collectors do not enjoy the one hard curl and prefer a beautiful multi-curl look instead! This is especially nice on the later ponytails that have such thick hair that it is often too difficult to style it all into a single, thick hard roll


Brunette #3 Ponytail with multi-curls and a Brunette #5 with a single hard curl


Brunette #1 Barbie - This lovely doll was 'well-loved' but still retained her 'good bones!' She simply needed to be cleaned, have her slightly-trimmed hair washed and re-styled and also have a touch-up to her lips (plus some blush, 'new' hoop earrings, and nail polish added)


Blonde #7 Ponytail - This pretty doll unfortunately arrived with stained vinyl on her lip area from a previous lip paint attempt. She also needed her brows done and her hair restyled


Brunette #3 Ponytail Restoration - This lovely doll arrived in very played-with condition. Here is how she looked after her hair re-style and new face paint.


Ponytails with Face Paint Damage after Tarnex Treatment - These ponytails had been previously treated for green ear inside of their heads which resulted in face paint damage, especially to the eye paint


The Restoration of 2 Childhood Treasures; Blonde #4s


Beautiful Brunette Ponytails - With just the basics, these 'well-loved' childhood ponytails were restored and displayable once again!


Titian Ponytail - hair restyled, fresh eye paint and liner, brows and lips


The Restoration of three Blonde Ponytails - Here is one #3 and  two blonde #5s that have been restored, including one that was re-rooted (but original bangs were left intact)


Lovely Blonde #4 - brows and lips touched up, her hair restyled



Brunette Ponytail #3s
- These lovely ponytails turned out gorgeous with their multi curls, a good cleaning and face paint restorations




2. Swirl Ponytails:

Childhood Swirl Barbies - Beautiful Platinum Blonde with the coral European Platinum Swirl lip color, a Golden Blonde with coral lip color, and a brunette with an extensive neck split


Blonde and Brunette Swirls


Platinum Blonde Swirl - This beauty was very dirty and needed the usual face paint touch ups and a hair wash/style


Lovely Titian Swirl Ponytails - hair restyled, nose flaw repaired, lips, brows and lashes touched up


Platinum Blonde Swirl that Needed Minimal Restorations I do just the minimum necessary so your doll looks new (and original) once again!
