Hello everybody! I posted this in facebook but Kirahfaye mentioned that y'all might find it of interest. It's been a minute since I've posted here so I'm looking forward to reconnecting and meeting new people.
I was really ticked off when I realized that my Fashionista 26 "Spring into Style" had developed a scorching case of glue head. It was so supremely nasty that rerooting was the only good solution for me. I did try a couple of the tried and true tricks but none of them worked. (This is the stock photo of the doll)
Close up of the glue seepage onto the scalp and into the hair.
I've cut off all the hair at this point and am preparing to pull the remaining plugs and glue out through the neck hole.
Ugh.
The head fully cleaned out with all the nasty plugs and glue. This doll had A LOT of glue in there.
There was so much glue it was even all over the neck peg. I had to wipe it down with Goo Gone to completely clean it.
I decided to finally use the Rose gold Synatra fibre that I have been hoarding for a year. I purchased it from CustomDollHairAu on Etsy.
I removed the dark brown paint from the top of the head before beginning. I am now a huge fan of the Synatra fibre after using it. It practically separates itself and slides in easily.
The finished project. Now I get to move on to my Barbie Basics that I've noticed have also got the same issues.
