      Yup, no holes from original hair plugs. @Shiranova I was wondering that too, but for any restoration, it may damage the actual collector value but make it more sellable to casual collectors or for display purposes? I would think? This person doesn't seem to have as much production value as some of the doll artists I watch (who usually focus on creation not restoration, but the cleaning is a part of the process) but I like how this series highlights smaller creators.

    Sigh. The doll did not lose hair. These dolls (and all of the early “ponytail” dolls) were not rooted on the crown of the head- only the perimeter. This ensured a slim, realistic ponytail. The uneven cut was because the front “swirl” section wrapped around the HIGH ponytail.
    It’s kinda bad that a professional doll restorer wouldn’t know this.

    As a doll collector, this is a pain to watch, aside from doing a mediocre job at “restoring”, the spreading of misinformation is wrenching just to hear. If this was done for his own enjoyment, then that’s him, but the doll for the most part was fine in most aspects. 1st of all swirl Barbies, we’re not rooted in the center of their heads, all he has to do was style it and cover it up like they did when they sold the doll back in 1964, mind you it was in the 60s Barbie literally only spent one year in the 50s, when he said that “the lip color had faded which is common with these dolls.” I was cringing so hard. The white lipstick she had on was original and some of y’all may know back in the 60s it was popular to wear a nude, or white lipstick, some swirl Barbies did have red lipstick, so if he wanted to make one look like those than that’s him but in my opinion, not professionally done or handled. The way he was caking that powder on the doll cause she had green, if this guy would have done his research he would have found out he could remove it by using CLR Lime rust remover, or remove a zit. The way he sanded the legs was a big no as well. To a person that doesn’t know that much of dolls the end product would look like a job well done, and yes it does but at the end of the day he stripped a lot of the doll or altered it to make it something different entirely, so this by no means is professional.

      I agree with you entirely but in reference to the white lips, I believe they were in fact faded as most 63 to 66 dolls suffer quite a bit of fading. The white lips when they came out of the factory would've been a very bright bubblegum pink and you can actually see some dolls in the middle stages of their lips fading where the edges are white but the inner parts are still pink, very interesting in my opinion. A few other notes is the butter/tan tone the lips fade to were originally coral and funnily enough the coral tones were originally red. I even had a number four come into my studio with coral lips! She was also very clearly exposed to quite a bit of sun because her skin was awfully yellowed aswell.

Red lips weren't really a thing during this time period, though they made a comeback in 1966 with the 'high color' facial screening that was used on American Girls and Color Magic dolls. The Swirls and Bubblecuts of this time period were mostly coral and pink lips of different shades. A few had white lips from the factory, it was a fad.

      There is a slight issue with the fact that the quality of saran they used in the 60s is not at all similar to modern saran, and I do agree nylon is a bad material for /this/ doll, however premium nylon from restoredoll or dollyhairplanet actually works really well for #5-8 PT bangs and for bubblecuts and sidepart american girls since the hair used by mattel (although not nylon) was more similar to nylon than saran, as nylon is a lot thicker, sturdier, and holds a better curl than saran. Fun fact! Some pink skin JE sidepart AGs actually /did/ use saran, they are incredibly rare and the hair lays a lot flatter. But yeah, total atrocity, wish he would've kept her as she was.

      Why on Earth would Barbie create a doll with hair that children couldn’t redo the style? If it was bald because it had a ponytail from the start, well children are going to want to take that ponytail out and restyle the dolls hair or take it down and use the many many hats Barbies had in the 50s too. Leaving it partially bald so they could do a manufactured ponytail that would show a bald spot if you took it out is stupid.

    A restoration would imply that you would not alter the doll, which includes details like plucking in New hair, this is more of a "glow up". He desided to modernise it by filling in the hair, which was'nt done back then. And sure, more expensive dolls had a full head of hair, but this doll didn't. Also sanding the legs hurt my feelings.
    If you want to restore something, you do not add to it, you repair what's broken and nothing more, this would include restyling the hair and repainting the face, maybe using some kind of semi permanent clay to fill in the scratches in the legs.
