Maggie gives love to Kira and Barbie, two dolls from a big thrift haul. These well-loved beauties get cleaned up and styled like rock stars, ready to go on tour again! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
They look great. Love the big 80s hair.
Thank you! 💕
I cannot emphasize enough, as a doll collector, to use fabric softener. Doll hair is the same material as threads in clothing. Love watching videos of people repairing doll hair.
Yes! Fabric softener does wonders! Thank you!! 💕
Beautiful!⭐🎀⭐
Thank you! 💕
Wow, what a difference! The dolls look so great!
Thank you!!💕
Fabulous 🎉
Thank you! 💕
I loved how you fixed the jacket, and how well all the clothing cleaned up, I get so nervous cleaning tiny items like that.
Thank you! 💕 If it helps you to be less nervous when restoring items, my philosophy is...if it's too stained or damaged to be usuable as it is, I might as well take the chance to bring it back to life!
Clever trick to fix the arms of the jacket! They look so much better after the restoration. Love your channel 😍
Thank you for your encouragement!💕
Your channel is beautiful, I always relax watching your videos! I am a doll collector too and I love to restore them, I would highly suggest flat-ironing their hair, kira really needed it and she would look so much better afterward. A flat iron helped me with the most impossible hair textures, like nylon from the tanya/sindy/steffi love dolls of the 90s. Maybe invest in one that has interchangeable blades, that also offer a crimper. "Invest" is probably too big of a word, I paid 20 dollars on mine and I was able to restore totally hair barbie and other crimped hair ladies. But be careful on the heat settings, definitely watch a tutorial beforehand, see how to do it without burning their hair hehe. Greetings from Romania!
Thank you so much!! Hello to Romania! Yes, I want to try a flat iron and crimper on dolls in the future! For this one, I just wanted Kira's hair to be one big fluffy puff! :) Thanks again!! More to come! 💕
Yay! I’ve been waiting for the makeovers since you showed us your haul! What an improvement! Thanks for the video, please do more!
Aw, thank you!! Means a lot. And more to come! 💕
They came out beautiful
Thank you! 💕
I do the same with my thrift finds. I use baby wipes first. I also use Goo Gone to help with stains and , sticky hair, and stains on faces. I also let the Goo Gone set in the hair for 30 mins, or so. Depends on how bad the glue is. I rinse in cool water. Rinsing seems to be the key, just my experience. Beautiful dolls, great job!!
Oh, I'll look into goo gone! Thank you! 💕
You did fabulously with the big hair! It is amazing how many Barbies are abused then brought back by doll collecters.
Thank you! And agree! 💗
The black haired Barbie is Kira, A Filipina friend of Barbie and she is called Ocean 🌊 Friends Kira (1996) sadly, her magic legging suit no longer work in water 😢 due to old ages
Did you rinse the conditioner out? I must try the baby wipes to clean dolls. They both turned out beautiful. You are so good at styling their hair.
Great question. Yes! I rinsed the conditioner. :) Baby wipes work wonders, but I recommend following up with soap and water in case they have any essential oils that could degrade the vinyl (and get sticky). Thank you! 💕
Good job. They look great! May I ask what you do with them after restoring them? Do you collect, donate, sell?
Thank you! 💕 I do all three!
What wipes did you use in the beginning to clean off the dirt ?
Unscented simply clean baby wipes, BUT I always follow up with a washcloth and water! And If a doll isn't super dirty, I prefer just using a washcloth or sponge with a drop of soap in water (I did that with Kira). 🩷
@@MaggieToTheRescue thank you
I love seeing you rescue dolls that I had as a child and still have in a box, including these same clothes. I may have to do a little rescuing of them myself. Great channel!
Thank you!! 💕
I have a doll similar to the blonde one (with blue earrings) but I cannot identify her line. Kindly help. thank you.
With the help of a viewer, I think she's is a Cool Times Barbie from the 1980s! Thanks for watching! 💕
the jacket barbie has i think its barbie and the sensations becky and the little bikini top is california dream barbie's top, also Kira is Wet N Wild Kira, i have barbie from that line and the hair isnt the greatest, the only way to make it look good is to curl it, cuz i washed mine's hair a dozen times and its always gonna look frizzy and dry and well doesn't look good, but curling it it's the only way
Oh the Sensations! They were kinda retro rockin'?! Good to know. Thank you! 💕
hey maggie whats the doll in the profile pic? i think i use to have her when i was little
Hi! She's just a cute generic doll, as far as I know. I've had her for years. 💕
@@MaggieToTheRescue I use to have one when I was little
