Just a hairline and bangs so all she can do is a ponytail so she went quick. Not sure how long/short the bangs will be for that five head. She's a ponytail Barbie/Bild Lilli clone head on a random jointed Barbie body.

Ended up doing another quick, at least compared to all the Monsters I used to do, reroot. Beauty Secrets Barbie was somehow the only one I got ca 1980 that wasn't stolen from me because I wasn't gaslighted enough at home (did recover her girlfriend and several other parts 20-odd years later) but she got the love to prove it. Having mobile arms had to be a big part of it. Press a button on her back and she shrugs.

Anyway her hair has been a crispy mess forever and this gives her back her original color. It's from dress up headbands they sell at the Dollar Tree (always get two just to be sure). She'll get a trim and bangs after its been trained.

And thus explains why I don't like to share anything I ever expect to see again.

Unknown Hong Kong TnT clone. I added plugs to her hair line because it was woefully thin. She's so cheap they only did about half her head and ignored the line indented into her skull.

Tempted to do Loving You Barbie in red. Was going to restore her blonde, the ends are frizzy, but got this color in a grab bag.

Malubu Francie, Casey/Twiggy mold, in Doll Planet color Elsa. This is super fine super soft hair, the length the hank comes in, y'all really got to try some.

I tried just about every other color I have but she's Teresa/hispanic tan and it was hard to find something that looks right so blonde it is. It's very yellow so it'll keep up with the slightly unnatural colors of the Mod Squad. Length will be trimmed when the part is set. I might repaint her lips darker.

That is an absolutely gorgeous shade of blue on the Hong Kong girl. And I have a similar shade of brilliant red sitting aside for a couple of my pending jobs, tho I'm probably going to try to do a wig in that case because both characters in question tend to change their hair color from time to time. Sometimes it's fun do something a little wild on a doll's appearance.
