how much are those dolls?

[rue18boutique]

@agdollgal -they're actually one of the cheaper dolls -you can get them brand new at target for about $20 or $30, but I like to get old ones on ebay for like $10, because I always give them new wigs. :)

[lizamaboo]

Wow. This is amazing. I never knew you could do this. AND I LOVE THE PINK HAIR! Hahhaa. But I'm a lil alternative myself. My question to you is do you know how to revive doll hair Battat hair without rewigging it. I just want to know if there is a product or something that I can put in her hair to make it look like new.

[deaniecarole]

I liked your video about re-wigging the doll. However do you know how to apply the hair into the roots of the dolls head? I have a doll my father bought me in 1963. Her name is Bonnie and she about 10 inches in height. She was a gift because I was in the hospital at the time. I combed all the hair out. I've decided to try and repair the hair or find a restorer that can. Your video helped me know more about repairing.
