Kelsey: Hey guys, it's Kelsey! Today, i'm going to be showing you how to do five easy
Barbie doll hairstyles. All you're going to need is water, a comb,
clear hair elastics, and the doll of your choice!
In case you're wondering
- throughout the video what this random thing is, this is called a "doll head styling stand"
These are great for rerooting and styling doll hair.
Plus it makes it a lot easier for me to show you guys what I'm doing without the doll flip-flopping all around.
Our first hairstyle is the Ariana. Yes, very much inspired by Ariana Grande.
Starting off, I always make sure the doll's hair is combed out nicely with no tangles
Make sure to comb the ends of the hair first and work your way up
Separate a small piece of hair in the front
Next take all of the hair from the front -
- minus the piece that we separated, plus another row of hair plugs behind that, and pull it all back into a ponytail
To create the half-up-half-down look
Spray the hair with water to keep down some of the flyaways
Doll hair and water are pure magic. I always have this little spray bottle next to me at all times
This next part is optional and a little tricky
If you don't want the elastic to show on the ponytail what I do is I take a piece of hair right by the elastic
Go around the elastic, and tie it into a knot
Then I take the strand and loop it through the elastic so it stays in place and
Make sure to tighten the ponytail
again, it's optional and I actually don't mind the rubber band to show but it does give it a more seamless look and
This is the Ariana!
Next up is the "Potato"
Otherwise known as a simple bun but potato sounds better around here
It has been requested a few times for me to do a tutorial on this hairstyle
I've done on quite a few of my dolls in my videos
my sister actually taught me how to do this hairstyle when we're a little and
I remember the first time she did it. I thought she was a wizard!
Start by slicking back the hair pulling it up kind of like troll hair into a high ponytail
Sometimes you can also get this to work without putting this extra ponytail in all you're going to do is twist the hair around
into a bun and
Secure it with another elastic
If you have any stray hair sticking out just tuck them underneath the bun
Yes, they can be very pesky at times
If you're struggling you can use a small amount of hair gel to keep them down
Or spritz them with some water
it really depends on the doll and how many layers she has in her hair. The real magic of the potato though is -
- definitely not to be perfect! Even though this is kind of a perfect bun.
This is the "Potato"!
Next up is the Jojo so I'm going to show you two different
versions to this since the first one is pretty super baby easy
Also, I just got this doll. She's very pretty. She's one of the new Dreamtopia mermaids (princess, oops)
for the classic Jojo hair style
Start by combing the hair back into the side
Then ponytail it with an elastic very super baby easy
If you want you can add a bow by tying some ribbon around the elastic
More so than Barbie, I would do this hairstyle on Stacie
But I think it looks really cute and it could even be a cheerleader look.
This is the "Jojo"!
For my version the "Jojo version two", I'm going to make the side ponytail much lower and -
- leave out some hair.
On oth sides separate the last hair plugs by her ear
And a piece of hair in the front
Wrap the piece in the front behind her ear and secure the hair into a ponytail
Still keeping those two other pieces out
Just like the Ariana this is optional. You can wrap a small section of hair from the back tie it in a knot
and loop it back into the elastic to create a wraparound ponytail and
This is the Jojo version two - pretty easy to do!
I like the look of tucking the hair behind the ear and leaving some out to give it more of a messy-ish,
- but stylish ponytail look.
The fourth hairstyle is the Erika
Inspired by Erika from the Barbie movie Princess and the Pauper I learned how to do this hairstyle from the actual
Erika Barbie doll. I will be showing you at two different versions of this one as well
First take the section of hair right above your doll's ear and braid it
Set the braid aside and section off two pieces of the hair from the front
Just like the Ariana take a section of hair and ponytail it's to create a half up half down look
Next, remove the elastic from your braids and pull it over to create a braided headband
Take the two pieces of hair in the front along with the braid and tie
them together in the back with an elastic
The other version is to just skip the ponytail and you have a simple
braided headband hairstyle. and this is the Erika!
My last hairstyle is the "Fish" which is a fishtail braid
This is one of my favorites to do even on my own hair start by pulling your doll's hair back into a ponytail
Whether you want it to the side or the back
It's up to you! If you want to give it a more messier look you can leave some of the hair out in the front as well
next, section the ponytail into two pieces
Take a piece from each side and cross them over in the middle
Keep going all the way down until you've reached the end
And secure it with an elastic
Then I like to take out the upper elastic. This doll has a good amount of layers in her hair
So you might see some flyaways sticking out. I do like the messy look of this hairstyle though and
This is the "Fish"
