Ponytail Barbie Doll
How can I create a "swirl ponytail" hairstyle on a barbie doll?
I'm thinking that I need to thin the back of the dolls head of hair in order to create a streamlined to scale looking finished ponytail. I just don't know how to go about it or how to do this correctly.
This particular doll is a modern barbie. Great head of hair and a nice root pattern with the side swept front. Perfect to create the original look of the first ponytail barbies. Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you! 
You need:
-Cut up a straw into at least 1" pieces (I think a thick one will be good for this particular style)
-A few bobby pins (at least two for each straw)
-head-pins
-boiled water
-cold water
opt: small heater, hair spray
*You will use the straws, pins, and bobby pins like old fashion hair rollers.
Wash her hair, condition well, and give her a ponytail. While her hair is still wet, grab a straw, roll the end of the ponytail ( roll as much as you want depending on how long a spiral you want) onto the straw, stick a bobby pin on both sides of the straw to hold the hair in place, and grab a few pins and stick them through the hair and straw so that the pin goes inside her head and holds the straw in place. I think it would help if you gave the doll a quick "half-ponytail" (give her this half-tail with a second rubber band so you won't have to do her hair again after you're done) so that her hair is raised enough for the straw to be placed against her head.
After, dip her head (not her face!) into boiling water and swish it around for a bit then dip it into cold water to set the curl and do the same. Place her somewhere where she won't be disturbed so that her hair can fully dry (its best to do it at night so her hair is dry when you wake up in the morning if you're an impatient person). If you don't want to wait a full day, you can put her in front of a heater and turn her head every now and then to avoid melting the hair. Don't use a blow dryer because it will ruin the hair style and make little hairs go out of place.
Once her hair is completely dry, you can either hairspray it while the straw is still in place (let spray dry), but I find that the hair curls come out nicer if you remove the straw first before spraying her hair so you can see and fix the curl if it needs fixing. You don't have to use hairspray at all, but the curls will come undone after a while so its better to just use hairspray.
*You can do any curly style (I did Victory Rolls on one doll and it looks cute!) but make sure that you pay attention to her hair type.
Newer dolls come with soft hair which can withstand boiling water, but older dolls come with thicker hair that sizzles even with just steam.
To avoid accidents, just test a small piece of her hair and if it sizzles, use only warm water.
This is an answer I gave someone else concerning styling dolls if you're interested.
