Trim the hair and add some clothes

Cutting the hair

No doubt, even if you did a remarkable job rooting the hair, you are going to need to fix the hair somewhat in order to make it look more real. A quick haircut is in order and what you do here is entirely up to you. However, I would start with a basic trim as detailed below. This part is much easier if you wet the hair first.

Comb the hair downwards to the next all around the head so you can see how long it is.

You are going to cut it to the same length around the head, starting at the back. Where the hair line ends, start by cutting all the way around and as you are approaching the ear cut upwards so that when you reach the ear you can cut around the top of it.

With the hair at the front, cut any excess that hangs below the eyebrows.

Next, the the back of the head facing you, comb the hair on either side into the centre so you have 1 large clump. Cut off the ends. Redo this for the hair in between one ear, and then the other.

Clothes

This part hardly requires a guide J Simply add your chosen outfit to your doll. If you want to be ultra creative, then you can make your own clothes. There are plenty of free patterns available that will help you to do this, but it is not something I am terribly good at, so I usually end up buying an outfit.

Congratulations - you have finished reborning :)
