Monster High Thread 3.3

Thank you, Crimson and Bewilderness. I know their hair is different plastic than ponies and I figured I should ask first...glad I did!! Is there a good boil method tutorial anywhere that anyone knows about? I've never actually done it since straighteners work so well with ponies; I would hate to melt a new doll's hair

I used to have a tutorial up in the sticky... it didn't transfer over from the old Arena.

 Basically, boil a small pot of water (just until it starts to bubble). Pour it into a ceramic dish. Dunk the hair (your doll should have the glue washed out, and obviously be undressed/no accessories) into the water. Swirl around for a couple minutes, then remove and gently brush straight. Repeat until you get the desired results. I follow up with a quick dunk into a bowl of ice water, but mostly when I'[m setting curls.

Pat the hair dry, and gently brush it again. Let the doll air dry, then redress. Hope this helps!

I'm at a loss what to do with my dragon cam's hair. She's got the hard head so I can't rehair her and the cam wigs are awful. I got a pink Liv wig, but the shade of pink just doesn't suit her at all.

You could try a faux fur wig. I put a green one on my CAM dragon, and I think she looks great. I don't know if there are any green Liv wigs, but I've also seen people put red Liv wigs on her, and that looks nice, too.

Thank you so much - I can't wait to try it out with Operetta

Hanna wanted a wig for her witch, so I tested something new. Black and purple! What do you guys think?

LOVE IT!!! She'd look awesome in a silver color, too. Of course I'm partial to green and grey

That looks fantastic, Hannaliten! Don't suppose you got it off of Etsy and want to share the link? It reminds me of the witch from The Sword In The Stone! Madame something.

Sorry off topic from the current topic...

I have a question though....Do you think stores will still get the series one dolls or do they continue to go up on the orders, like move onto a new series of dolls as they are made?  I'm curious to know if I can still get a series one Abbey at a store still.  I went to Toys R Us today no luck on an Abbey doll.  Kohl's had a skull shores Abbey, not the doll I wanted.

Thanks for any info.

They're including Abbey in the new case packs, so I think you should be able to find one I found her last week, so she's definitely still showing up on the shelves

Majesty I just found signature Abby for the first time a few weeks ago (she ended up a mother's day gift) so with her being in the newest case, she is showing up a lot more hopefully you will find her soon!
