Can you curl a barbies hair with a curling iron?

Question

I have a niece about 11years old and she wants one of those Barbie doll styling heads and she wants to be a hair stylist and I wanted to know if you can hot curl those things with a real curling iron. Please let me know before I go buy it for her!!!! Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Give her some cheap hair gel & style holding sprays- in a pinch cheap lotion will work- along with a curling iron that isn't on or plugged in or even just rollers. These items can easily be found at the dollar store. Explain to her why she has to do it this way. It'll come out just as nice. Then when she wants to change the style, she can wash & redo.

I used to have a dozen regular sized barbies & used perm rod rollers & lotion on their hair. Its also how I learned to braid, lol.

Most of all praise any style she creates, it will go a long way in boosting her self-esteem.

Good Luck!
