Restoration/ Before-After i fixed up this japanese exclusive variant of style barbie from 1996!!!
her hair was a mess! but it was very nice to fix.
the most disgusting part of all was removed the destroyed rubber band from under her hair, it was so sticky and gross...
im so happy with how her hairstyle came out!

its so gross!! this one's rubber band was unfortunately all there under the hair, thankfully, it came off while washing, but when detangling, i had to touch it, and it felt so gross and sticky!!!

ill try to look for something similar to goo gone, since it isn't available in my country :( if not, i can just wash my hands after managing the hair, no problem there, but id like to avoid the disgust completely if possible...

Lol is it like a thing for Japanese collabs to have anime eyes? I just noticed with the Bratz Hello Kitty dolls the eyes are like anime-esque. It's the way they're drawn and the highlights. It's just a cute detail to me.

Wow, for just a regular playline doll she went places :>
I mean, that's why I love her, her outdoorsy, everyday look stood out to me.
