It's OK honey, that's just a re-rooting fail. First, you need better hair. Second, you need a rerooting tool if you don't already have one, unless you want to go the "root with a needle" route.

This is fixable. I'll let one of the folks here like DollyKim that do a lot more rerooting than I do walk you through it. You'll be fine!

Now that I've figured out who the doll is supposed to be it really shouldn't be that hard to find a Licca or at least a head with yellow hair then look up on line how to give her bangs. It will be cheaper to got to Ebay and get a head from China. That's what I would do.

I reroot with the needle and thread method shown at DollyHair.com, they also have the formula for how much hair you should have. I also get good hair from places on Etsy. If you go to JoAnn or Hobby Lobby stores you might be able to find packaged hair, it works well enough. With doll hair you get what you pay for. You also improve your skills with practice.

And no, I don't do commissions on anything.

Honey, we are not mind readers. You have to tell us what kind of doll it is, and what the problem is before we can help you.
