If your daughter is anything like my daughter she likes to cut the hair off her barbie dolls.
And let’s admit it, we used to do it too.
There’s something so satisfying about getting that barbie’s hair down to a short nub.
But, if your daughter wants that luscious barbie hair back, well look no further!  After hours of research I have found the BEST way to get Barbie’s hair back to it’s former glory!
Let’s get to it, and prepare to be AMAZED!
Things you’ll need:
- 1 hotglue gun & a glue stick
- 1 pair of scissors
- 1-2 adult goats
First you need to wrangle your goat and cut off her goatee. Â It’s harder than it sounds. Â Be sure to offer some leaves or grass so that your goat will hold still…
Now that you have all your supplies, you are READY TO GET STARTED.
First, try to mix the two goat goatees so that the colors are well blended. Â There are quite a lot of beautiful colors in goat goatees.
Start by placing a strip of hot glue on the scalp.
Place a layer of your goat hair on the scalp, making sure to lay it as neatly as possible.
You may have to do thinner layers so it really sticks well.
Place another strip of hot glue over the first layer
Place the next layer over the first and gently press down.
Now start with the other side.
Press down, reserving some hair for the next layer.
I overestimated the amount of goat goatee hair that would glue down, so I had to pull some away.
Apply the next layer. Â This is where it starts to look really gorgeous!
Add a layer in the back to add volume.
At this point you can place additional layers all over the scalp. Â You can really make it gorgeous by placing highlights all over the top.
Use your scissors to trim it up.
Don’t you just LOVE IT?
SO GORGEOUS & SO EASY!
I admit, it doesn’t look EXACTLY like it used to, but it’s pretty close! Â My daughter LOVES it!
P.S. April Fools!
READ MY PAST APRIL FOOLS’ POSTS HERE:
What a great idea!!! Wow!!!
I am impressed!!
Thanks!!!
OMG! So funny! I thought this was for real, I have seen things around about re-rooting Barrie’s hair…but When I saw the 2 goats in the list, I was like WHAT? LOL… You should be a comedian
lol 🙂
Haha, thanks! I come up with crazy things every now and then! My odd sense of humor pays off:)
I think we need to buy a new barbie…
Great tutorial, thank you 😀
🙂 Great Idea!
Haha!
You are so funny! So funny! More! I need more life-relevant instructional writings from you!
yes because all of the world has 2 pet goats to take there hair from…
Oh my gosh, how funny. It didn’t take long to realize that this was a spoof but so darned funny! Thanks for a great laugh!!!
and if you don’t have a goat, this sometimes happens, you can take wool like for felting, make some gorgeus ponytail or some other fancy haircut 🙂
OMG, you had be going. I’m thinking, is this gal for real? Seriously? lol, I was relieved to see April Fools! Your blog was one of the first ones I started following and I was laughing and shaking my head in denial all the time I was reading this, llfbo!
PS, from an old “Barbie” gal, it can be done, but not with hot glue and a goat beard. This made my day. Thank you!!
OMG that made me laugh. Didn’t know you were joking at first. I’ve never seen your blog before, don’t know how I found it and haven’t even seen your homepage yet, but this post sure cracked me right up. Thank you for that! Ahh hahaha.
At first I thought you were serious. I haven’t laughed that hard for a long time. Wow. Don’t have goats, but maybe the horses won’t mind if I decrease the density of their thick blonde tails.
The reason I am not a craft blogger. 😉
LOL with tears in my eyes!!!! Awesome, i love it, thank you for this tutorial, very helpful for starting my day with laughter! Dont know how you managed to cut the goats gotee off!!
Love it!!!
O.M.G. I had to stop laughing and catch my breath to write this. Came across your miraculous Barbie save on Pinterest and stopped over — and LMAO!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!!!! Hope that your goat recovered and the goatee is coming back in. OR, did you have to catch the other goat to replace the trimmed hair? Hahahaha!
omg I laughed so hard this is hilarious keep up the good work! oh I especially liked the small hands round the nannies neck hahaha
She can’t be serious…..she looked better as Chemo Barbie…..
She can’t be serious…..she looked better as Chemo Barbie…..
I feel bad for the goat!!!
I hope this was a funny joke. Hair looks a mess – I would leave it short 🙂
LOL Love it. Thanks for the morning laugh !
I almost didn’t read this post… SO glad I did!!
Is this for real? I don’t know about you, but I dony have a goat in my yard……

Aaaand I thought you were serious. You. Are. Hilarious.
Great idea! I’m just laughing about the difference in the “after” picture at the beginning of the story, and how it really ended up looking.
Looks like new!
Seriously awesome how-to post! The topic was so intriguing that I had to read it although none of my kids have a Barbie. Cracked me up! I’ll be back to read more of your writing!
You could buy some hair extensions from the beauty supply place. Then buy a small latch hook. Take Barbie’s head off and pull the hair from her empty airhead. Hot glue or super glue the ends and let cool before pulling hair from outside of head. Cut the hair and you’ll have a neater hair-do.
Or for the same price buy another Barbie, lol
That’s the funniest thing I have seen in a few days!! LMAO!!!! What I love most is, NOW our Miss Barbie is a ROCKER CHICK!!! Rock ON, Barbie!!!! 😉
Freakin hysterical – this is so awesome I’m sending it to my farmer to beg for some hair 😉
Oh My gosh, I am dying here. I was trying to read it out loud to my goat farming husband and couldn’t get the words out. So Funny! Made my day.
LOL – Hey but wait? Where is the weave for the goat?!?! 😛
There are high school girls in our area whose hair looks like Barbie’s new wig. 😛
This post was hilarious. Thanks for sharing Brooke! ^_^
