Harper was available at my local Wallys for a good price so I got her, but I'm a bit disappointed. Her hair which I suppose one would describe as 'beachy waves' is a lovely color, but the amount of gel in it was horrible. Plus, the back of her hair was all frizzed and matted. So I ended up washing it, but I used cool water to keep in some of the waves. It's softer, but still a bit frizzy even tho I used conditioner since it was so matted. Lost a lot of hair getting it combed out. I'll probably try to tame it a bit with some braiding.

I love the streaky color.

Maybe try soaking her hair in fabric softener for a while? I've had pretty good results with brittle or frizzy hair by letting it soak in fabric softener for a while and rinsing with super cold water.

Do Bo Derrick like braids with wet hair, that should help keep the texture. Beads go on before the rubber bands.

I braided and beaded a doll back in the 90s and the rubber bands disintegrated but her hair is still done up.

I put Harper's hair into braids for now, but I'll post a pic of the back which will take some work if I keep her in braids. Did I mention how terrible I am with hair?

I'm seriously considering a boil perm to give her some definite curl rather than just wavy.

Also picked up this cutie, the Jr High Amaya. I'd still like a regular sized Amaya, with the dark hair tho. I put her up with her white-haired sisters. Wish they had stands for the Jrs tho.

Since the Smart doll I wanted isn't going to be available any time soon, I decided to use my doll funds to get the Kpop RH dolls. Ordered them from Walmart online since they won't show up here for months, if at all, and got them today.
Love the outfit she has on, don't like the extra at all.

Not thrilled with either of these outfits. I may try to modify that second one.

Love both these outfits.

Still want Bella in her witch costume too. And I may need another shelf. It's getting crowded up there.

I unboxed Tiara Song today and I really like most of her stuff and her look. Then again, I have a tiara collection and I put rhinestones on everything. The only thing I don't love is the half jacket/blazer thingy. It's a what-where-they-thinking for me. I just don't think it looks cool at all although if it were whole, it would be.

Her hair has random gobs of gel that make little sense so I'll probably undress her so I can rinse that out. I'm not sure why they decided to make 2 girls in lavender and one pink in the group. I just feel it would have made more sense for them to be either all one color or 3 different colors. This one seems to be the lead singer to me, so why not make her the different color instead?

Opened Tessa Park today. I like her clothes the least, but her hands/nails are pretty awesome. Kudos for the great details they did. Tiara has rings on her fingers too and a manicure, but I think the nails are too long. Not a fan of those kinds of nails. Anyway, Tessa's clothing kinda sucks for me. I hate the long leg/short leg set she has on and will trade it out for something else. I may go look in my clothing box and see what else I have. At the very least, I'll put her in the pants, but the not the black underwear. The weird overskirt thing is another wtf. I guess I'm not cool enough to appreciate.

If it helps they did long leg short leg pants on an episode of You Can't Do That on Television about fads.

Maybe cut the fingers off an old pair of gloves and make leg warmers for her?

I think I'm just too old to appreciate the fads. I'm just going to find something that I like for her. It's not like I don't have a huge box of extra stuff at this point LOL! The pants in her second outfit aren't bad. I think she is supposed to look a bit like the rapper style with baggy pants and underwear showing, but I'm not a fan of that at all.
