So far the Dracularas have. In general they have a lot of gel in their hair, a rinse under warm tap water can help get rid of most of it.

My Scarlet has the same spotty eyebrow thing.

All of DotD Clawdeen's hair was gelled. That needed soap to washed it out. Neither of my Goulias nor the beach Clawdeen had any.

oh goodnes don't get me started on DOTD Lagoona - her mohawk (which I did NOT like.) is crunchy with gel - it took way too long to get that out with hot water and soap., and it still felt finny, and the way it was trimmed made it all stick off after being rinsed out :T

So i'm rehairing her. woo, dollyhair!

You'll want a Gene size hank or 2 of the 38" ones to get a decent amount. To loosen up the glue keep hot water near by and put it in the head. You'll still be up for a good hour of yanking gunk out.

Both girls I've done so far used 38" hanks, Lagoona's head (Daiquiri Ice is an exact match to her) is half white with the hank cut in 1/3 to get the length, Ghoulia's was cut in 1/6 and got thin towards the end.

mmm i might try taking the gel out, it looks just...very over gelled on her i think. hehe.
Ohh the eyebrow spots are actually little glitter flecks...the paint job on her was surely less then perfect.
I just don't know if i am ready to wipe her face clean totally yet. I might miss this current version of her too much. <3

Can't wait to see!

The new stuff is starting to show up in the local stores. I like the Dance dresses for Ghoulia and Lagoona but the dolls themselves do nothing for me. I do like the Classroom Ghoulia and Lagoona. It's the first Lagoona I've considered. I already have two Ghoulias so I don't know if I'll get another. I really like the school's out Clawdeen but again I already have two. Dead Tired Cleo is the first Cleo I've had any interest in.

I got one 38" hank in marshmallow (it's a warm white) and a MLP hank in... i dunno, it's a lavender, it matches DOTD Lagoona's eyebrows.

shoot, that's not going to be quite enough, is it.

Oh well! I'll use up what I have first.

That might, I don't know how thick the pony hanks are. You can probably do it with the right size plugs.

I did the hair line first but I didn't fill in each and every hole in the main part because some are really close to each other. It also depends on the style. My Lagoona has a part but Ghoulia's hair goes strait back so I left most of her pre drilled part empty.
