(2010) Bath Beauty Aurora Transformation

This Aurora doll was THE number one worst client I ever had to fix up. In all my years of collecting and rescuing dolls, I had never encountered such a disgraceful mess (which is saying something, since I've made over hundreds of dollies). I was really surprised to find out that Aurora had nylon hair. More often than not, Mattel uses kanekalon or saran hair on their dolls. Additionally, Aurora's hair had been brushed aggressively by her previous owner. This caused even further damage to her mane. You can see that her hair was very brittle and broken looking in these two "before" photos. Oddly enough, her bangs were like brand new. They were the only part I didn't have to struggle with. As I attempted to comb through Aurora's snarly locks, my comb kept losing bristles. Even my wide toothed comb stood no chance against her super matted hair (luckily it didn't break). It really didn't help matters much that I was nearly out of conditioner by the time I got to Aurora. I had to be very frugal with the amount of conditioner I used. Had I been able to glob tons of it on, my job would've been a lot easier. Honestly, there were many times during Aurora's tedious makeover that I doubted if I'd be able to save her. There were a few points when I was certain she was going to end up in the trash can. But fortunately for Aurora, that didn't turn out to be the case.
