    What wrong with my Dinah?

    Picked up a Dinah Mite awhile back and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with her hair:

    Looks like it was washed or it got wet and was left to dry in that position.I think if you use warm water you can get the hair to go back down.

      I'm getting a flashback from the movie Something about Mary "oh is that hair gel?"

          I've had a couple come that way .... I wash them ... then comb the hair down ... and make a head band out of paper or tape or sometimes shove the head in and old plastic thing rolls of film come in ... and le the hair dry ... then comb it one last time ... and like new

            Don't have the tube thing for film. I'll think of something though. Thanks for the advice.

              Thin strips of medical gauze or thin cloth(preferably white/undyed, like muslin) work great. I use them to keep hairstyles in place when shipping rerooted heads.

                After I find the right size comb,I'm going to try putting the head in a large empty pill bottle and see if that works.

                  I got her finished Saturday. Had no problems using the pill bottle. I'm missing a cord for my camera but as soon as I find one,I'll post a new picture.

                      One last question and I'm done. What would a purple jumpsuit cost?

                              She looks fresh like the day she was taken out of her packaging. It is a nice feeling that you have accomplished something to a neglected figure ending up looking "spiffy" as Russ G quoted..
