I'm back with more doll restorations for your summer enjoyment!
First up: Princess and Me Rapunzel, rescued from a thrift store. Poor thing had very ratty hair and pink spots all over her face! Her dress is original. I started by removing the pink spots from her face using acetone and brushing out her hair. Then I washed her hair using children's conditioner. When it was dry, I brushed it again. I am overjoyed with how she turned out!

I love that she has a brown streak of hair!
Next up is Piccolo, a G3 pony that has been in my fix up box for so long that I'm not sure where she came from. I brushed, washed, and (in the case of her tail) curled her hair. I also gave her a ribbon, as I do with all of my ponies. Not a huge difference, just slightly smoother hair.

Next up: Lottie LaBouff, another thrift store rescue. She needed to have a few spots removed from her face and to have her hair hair-sprayed back into its style. I also gave her a pair of Barbie shoes.

Last up is Giselle, who has been in my collection for 3 years but was a thrift store rescue. Her hair was looking a little bit limp, so I decided to condition it.

Once again, I apologize for a lot of blurry, oddly lit pictures. I guess I've been in a hurry while taking them, too busy cleaning the dolls to properly photograph them! I have a couple of reviews in the works (with much better pictures) so, hopefully, one of those will be up soon.
