Mattel Harry Potter haircut

[DollyKim]

When I get my Yule Ball Harry Potter I’m thinking of adding yarn or wool to his hair to give him a sort of Cure thing, he looks enough like Teddy, but dome of the bangs have to go so he has more of a center part.
What are good ways to give his sculpted plastic hairs a bit of a trim without looking too bad. It would be repainted after.

And does the scar come off with usual doll paint remover?

[maywong]

Yes the scar comes off. You can sand off his hair and reroot him.

[DollyKim]

Don’t need to take all of it off, just some bangs. I plan to glue roving wool or yarn on top for the exploding goth, nothing brushable

A sharp scalpel/exacto knife would prob work. Or a dremel, if you have one.
