We came across this awesome tutorial on Black Girl with Long Hair
For almost as long as there have been Barbies, there have been Barbie’s friends. You know, Midge, Kid Sister Skipper, Teresa, Christie, etc. But aside from changing their hair colour and flattening Skipper’s chest, the dolls all basically look the same. But if Christie, Midge, Teresa and various other Barbie pals were created so black, ginger and Hispanic kids had a doll that better resembled them, why stop at hair colour?
Then we came across this post on Black Girl with Long Hair, who in turn got her tutorial from Beads, Braids & Beyond. Turns out, sisters are doing it for themselves. How cool are these dolls?
So sure, we could have just linked to their awesome results, but it looked like fun so we made our own natural hair doll following their tips. First, we acquired a dark-skinned Barbie.
