Saving Skipper!

Since this is related to hair style, I considered to post it here.

I received this Skipper from a good friend from Spain. Here are the "before" photos:






I gave her a bath and a reroot.

I'm an amateur re-rooter, so I don't think this is the best that Skipper could look but I'm happy with her.

I ran out of hair and then I used hair donated by an old Barbie so she has 2 tones that turned out good.

Here are the "after" photos:





Thanks everyone for taking the time of looking at my photos :)

Hi  Yaz'mine, thanks so much. You made me laugh. You wrote "Saving Stripper" instead of Skipper -lol.

I cannot image Skipper as a stripper in a club  - lol

You take care,

Nilsa

Hi Terry. Thanks for your nice comment. 

Wish I could fix her eyebrows but I won't try that.

I'm planning to put some very light pink on her lips.

You have a safe weekend,

Nilsa

Don't sell yourself short, dear Nilsa!  You did a great job with her!  I love her new color way more than her original color.  But then I have a "thing" for platinum, baby-blonde, and those pale white colors.  

Go, you!
