For a doll: “ONE OF MY FAVORITE HAIR STYLING TIPS IS…” a hot water dunk to revive a dolls messy hair!
For a person: “ONE OF MY FAVORITE HAIR STYLING TIPS IS…” to just throw your hair in a bun if it is out of control LOL!!
My favorite hair styling tip is……I just don’t have any. My hair is so short I just use the curling iron on the bangs and maybe the sides if they are long enough. I like to see “how to” suggestions for the doll’s hair and this headband is a good one.
One of my favorite hairstyling tips is to have your hair trimmed regularly in the style you like.
“One of my favorite hairstyling tips is” to always brush your hair starting from the bottom so it doesn’t hurt as bad and it stays healthy.
