I hardly remember anything about playing with Barbie dolls besides cutting their hair and then regretting it. Whether I was channeling my inner Sally Hershberger (doubtful) or just being a destructive kid remains up for debate, but in the meantime, tell me...

nope, i made them drown in my bathtub.
|
  |
3
I cut their hair and then I gave them punk streaks with my markers.
|
  |
4
I tried curling it before too...FYI...it melts.
|
  |
5
Yeah! I had dozens of barbies and I wanted them to look like different people.
|
 |
6
Only a couple of them. I remember thinking how horrible they looked and decided to leave the rest alone.
|
 |
7
I totally did!
|
 |
8
yeah! I cut their hair cuz after a while it starts getting tangled and ugly anyway.
|

Yep. I had one Barbie & Ken "set" - given to me by an aunt I never liked. I cut her hair, colored it and then put Ken's clothes on her in 1 hour after I got them. Then I was bored and went outside to play. Needless to say my parents laughed at my creation an then told people not to get me any more of them.

I actually gave her the famous Meg Ryan and Jennifer Anniston Cut. I was good back then...
|
 |
11
I always liked my Barbie's hair long, but this made me laugh because I have a 10 year old cousin and she has been on a Barbie hair-cutting kick ALL summer long!
|

I definitely cut Barbie's hair especially after it looked all beat up. I was hoping it would grow back to the nice mane it was before I messed with it. It never happened and never wanted a Barbie ever again.
|
 |
13
Yes, but not on my favorite Barbies. I kept the ones I loved best in pristine condition.
|
 |
14
Yes, I even messed up the hair of one of my favorite barbies
|
 |
15
I did it once.
|
 |
16
not very well, unfortunately xD
|
 |
17
I gave my barbie a bob. Actually it looked pretty good to me. I wanted her to look like an elf so I kept the front long. That poor doll. I never touched the hair of the newer African American barbies though.
|
 |
18
Not just Barbie...Skipper, Tiffany Taylor, Holly Hobby and Baby Alive, too!
|
 |
19
Yes and it was so funny. Me and my cousin decided to have a whole beauty salon with the barbie's and I washed the hair and cut it but it was taking a long time to dry and my mom wouldn't let us use the real hair dryer so I thought it would dry if I put the hair on the light bulb of my lamp and a lot my barbie's hair burned off.
|
 |
20
Of course, I gave her a shaggy cut with a lot of layers...she ended up looking like a mushroom. My daughter has a lot of barbie heads and she does their makeup w markers and colors their hair with the yellow highlighter marker.
|
 |
21
I didn't have barbies.
|
 |
22
No, I was a fan of brushing their hair. (Even then I had my long hair fetish...) My sister was the one who cut the hair off all my Barbies, including the little ones that came with Happy Meals! I nearly killed her when they all ended up with GI Joe buzz-cuts. Grrrrr.
|
 |
23
I did! Only few, when I thought they would look nicer with shorter hair. I just didn't know how to layer them. I loved Barbies and what a shame there is Bratz/Slutz now :/
|
 |
24
No way, I never did. I always kept my Barbies in the best condition. Does anybody remember Totally hair Barbie & Totally hair Ken?
|
|
|
25
I'd also "dye" Barbie's hair by with nail polish.
|
 |
26
I don't think I had an actual barbie, but I cut my dolls hair. I too used a hot curler on one of them and it burnt off.
|
 |
27
Yep, I sure did cut their hair. I had short hair myself when I was little so I wanted my Barbies to look like me! Mind you, they never did look like me, no matter what I did to them!
|
 |
28
I always wanted to cut their hair, but I could never bring myself to do it. I loved her long hair!
|
 |
29
Heck, yes, tried to curl it with a regular curling iron, too (that was a BIG mistake).
|
 |

|
 |
31
Hell no! are you kidding? Being able to mess with her hair was the best part.
|
 |
32
yea i cut a friend's barbie's hair. she still reminds me of it
|
 |
33
yes, a few of my Barbies were forced to have their hair cut. I was never very good at it, and I usually never played with the Barbies ever again after cutting their hair... I couldn't stand looking at it.
|
 |
34
My Mom tried to make me leave their hair alone so I rebelled and cut a few. I totally regretted it because their hair is so coarse and weird to cut.
|
 |
35
yep, and then i tried to flush her down the toilet to cover my tracks o_o
|
 |
36
I did. I had this strange notion that the hair would grow back like ours did. I did keep a rare few hair-cut-with-kiddy-scissors free.
|
 |
37
Most of the time I stopped at bobs, but there was that unfortunate incident with my father's electric razor and my Kimber from Jem doll... I had decided I needed a villain and since she was much bigger than the rest, she was the selected victim.
|
|
|
38
yeah, I used to cut Barbie's hair. I also discovered that it lights
|
  |
39
Never! My barbies were always in perfect condition. She's my idol!
|
 |
40
no, i loved my only barbie, but my neighbour did something to my barbie's hair then it got messy n couldn't be fixed.
|
 |
41
Yes. and I found out it would never grow back
|
 |
42
of course, and she always had the worst bob ever afterwards!
|
 |
43
I remember giving one a mohawk, then used a green marker to color it and too my mom's stick pins with the colored balls on the end and giving her piercings.
|
 |
44
so relieved I'm not the only one who did this, because my parents were concerned! I wasn't trying to make them look bad... I was just bad at cutting doll hair.
|
. The only one that came out fine was the red head but eventually her head popped off.
I think it's just the young, curious fashionista in all of us.
hehe
I was always playing hairdresser to poor Barbie. I even had a barbie you could put extensions on, but I cut her hair so short that when I put extensions on her she looked like Britney Spears before her recent makeover.
Funny story...
I go for guys with long blonde hair (always have... love the mountain man/viking look) and was thrilled when I got a Beauty and the Beast prince with removable beast mask. The prince had a lovely ponytail of blonde hair. My aunt, god rest her soul, was an AMAZING seamstress, and always made me clothes for my dolls. I lent her the Prince... and when I got him back my conservative aunt had chopped off his lovely locks! I was distraught for weeks.
