Madison's Hair was just a mess.
Brushed out all the tangles.
So I decided to give her hair the hot water treatment.
Hey, where's the water?
Ahh, that feels good!
Dunking her hair in the hot water.
Combed her hair.
Let it dry.
But wasn't satisfied with the results.
(Forgot to take a picture)
Went over to see Cecile last Saturday to get
some advice on what I should do to Madison's hair.
She showed me her secret method on how to fix
Madison's Hair. (Can't tell, sworn to secrecy)
So while I was there I proceeded to fix Madison's hair.
There was one plug missing in the front so Cecile showed
me how easy it is to reroot.
Cecile repainted Madison's face.
The New and Improved Madison
Isn't she lovely?
Thanks Cecile for all your help!
She IS lovely! I love seeing makeovers.
ReplyDeleteShe is pretty Frannie. I really hate that Mattel stopped the My Scene line.

ReplyDeleteMy daughter saw a SiS repaint by Cyhynadoll, thought the doll was available in stores, and said "I want her!." lol We both agreed that the repaint was great.

Thanks Hey It's Muff, I love seeing repaints and fixes by other doll collectors.
ReplyDeleteThanks Georgia Girl, I really liked the My Scene line also.
Chynadoll, Thanks, I have a few more My Scene Dolls for you.
Marta, Make sure you brush the tangles out of the hair before you try the hot water treatment.
Thanks NaoC, Chynadolls repaints look even better in person. She does wonderful work.
She is really gorgeous! I just know Madison loves her new look!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brini, Madison does!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I found a Madison also, her hair was such a tangled mess I just balled it up on each side-I really tried to untangle it- I think it looks awesome-like an afro almost. You are so fortunate to have a good friend to help you out. If you want chk out my flickr page to see her
