I was very determined this morning when I sat down at the kitchen table. At last I had finally decided to cut Greta's hair . . . I could stand those messy tangled curls no longer!
 |
| STAGE 1 - WASH & DETANGLE |
Washing was so much easier than I thought it would be and using a detangler helped to loosen her hair beautifully. It's often the thought of doing something new, the fear of doing it wrong, which stops us from doing things we should do . . . today I am begining to dare!
 |
| STAGE 2 - CUT |
The new hairdresser's scissors I had purchased to tackle the next scary job were being used at long last . . . once again, this task was easier than I thought it would be.
 |
| STAGE 3 - CURL |
To curl or simply leave to dry? That was the question that held me up for a bit . . . then I decided to curl.
 |
| STAGE 4 - COMPLETION |
Now doesn't she look the picture of innocence? I love how soft these curls look and feel, however, I may brush them loose at a later date for a more natural look. Let me know what yoou think. 😘
A remarkable metamorphosis, the plain one has become beautiful. Hugs from Xanadu.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am very happy with her look for now at least. 😊

Hi Xanadu! You went from being MIA to publishing posts back-to-back! I'm not complaining though.
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible with doll hair, so I really applaud you for being brave enough to cut her hair. I do like the new style, but it looks quite vintage. If you want to go for a more modern look, maybe you could brush it.
Have a nice weekend ahead.
Hi MC! I know I don't know what came over me?? 🤣 I am happy these dolls have brought me a new lease on life, I haven't enjoyed my dolls for such a long time.
DeleteNow I have accomplished this task I'm ready to tackle a couple of others. I have seen photos of a few GHK with short hair and I really am quite taken with them.
As for Greta's hair, I want to dress her in white lawn & lace dress and take some photos before brushing her curls loose. Don't worry I will share pics. 😊

She looks so angelic now, definitely a lot better! I'm always scared of cutting my dolls hair, but you did simply great, like a professional :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chiriann. I was really scared too, but now I have done it, it's not so scary anymore. If you want to give it a go, try it on a doll that you are not so fond of first.
