You should be able to replicate the hair style, for the most part. Sometimes mimicking the exact art/animation is hard, because of how partlines are rooted. Also, her hair is shorted, so be prepared to stop and re-curl; There have been times I've gotten almost entirely around a head and then had to re-do half of them. Of course, I do have boy hands, and my thumbs are stubby, so that might just be me lol.I wouldn't recommend hairspray; it tends to have a higher alcohol content than a lot of gels/glues on the market, and can make the hair look "crispy". Some people prefer not to use gel at all to maintain the integrity of the hair. However, I do use a cheap mousse or gel from time to time. And one of my friends swears by Bedhead, slightly watered down when she "sets" her curls.Finally, always leave the curlers in for a few days! My best results have come from about 2 1/2-3 days. Even if you use a hair product in the hair, the curls tend to fall quickly if you take them out too soon. Hope this helps!
She looks very pretty!! I haven't tried any curling like this yet and am very encouraged that you said they're holding well. I think you did a great job!!
her curls look fabulous! she looks very much like the cartoon version
Oooh, she looks a lot better with the curls done like that. Maybe you could try to get some wire into her hair loop and shape the wire into a heart. Do make it still stand up you'd probably either need to leave some of the reshaped wire into the head or try to make a small loop at the base of it and put in a decorative straight pin into her head to hold it up right.Another idea is to just find a pretty heart shaped piece, attach it to a straight pin, and put it in the middle of the hair loop (no it wouldn't be show accurate but that might be really pretty!).

I would just worry about it turning her hair green.I had also thought of maybe just using gel in it? I wouldn't mind if that bit of her hair was a little stiff and gross.
This is how my Cupid is right now. Mine has shorter hair than everyone else's it seems. I wish she had longer hair! visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Styling my first Cupid was a nightmare! It was a 1600 Cupid so the hair was covered in gel and had the one curl at the bottom of her hair. I wanted to wash the gel out and set the curl back in.I failed, badly! The curl looked so bad, and the heart got washed out. There was also a flaw in her vinyl so I just HAD to get another.The second time around (also a 1600) a wet her hair alittle and ran a comb through it. The I finger styled the hair the way I liked and let the watered down gel harden back into place. I left the heart alone this time because I knew I'd never get it back into shape.I *think* the 1600s have a more defined heart shape than the Sigs. I'm not sure how I'd make a Sig's heart behave I like the wire idea. I'd probably try that.
