Restoring Thrifted 80s / 90s Barbie Hair! 🎀 + Curled Hair Tutorial!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hello Fellow Doll / Toy Lovers and Collectors!
Today I will take you on a little thrift doll make-over ride! I found a pre-loved Birthday Barbie with some very wild hair. I totally love this Birthday Barbie from 1989 (European Exclusive) which was hard for me to find so i'm gonna do whatever it takes to save her!
Time for big 90s hair and.. CURLS mama!
Hope you enjoy and learned a thing or two for your own pre-loved 90s Barbie dolls!

Beautiful job Arjan!❤ She is stunning!🥰😍 You can't beat the 80's and 90's Barbie's. It truly was the golden age of barbie. That's why we should all cherish our vintage Barbies in our collection. It's a piece of history!😊

Vintage Barbie's are much more stunning than current barbies... Dreamy. Look at her face, hair, beautiful puffy dress... Yes, bodies couldn't move, but I love their tiny waists, how they smiled... Almost like old Japanese anime from the 80s/90s. The golden American era all represented in a doll, that's the vibe they give me... Everything 90s is so precious. Baci dall'Italia ❤🇮🇹

The love these Barbies get is so awesome. I enjoy watching these thrifted restorations where people who collect barbies from the past whose idenities are unknown by few are give a good wash some hair spa time and when possible put back in their original clothing and given back their identity. it's super cool. and i love seeing these dolls that have been toshed or thrifted away get the love they deserve
