Okay, plucking out those shorter hairs is a genius move. I’m always nervous to do that kind of thing because they can’t grow it back, lol, but it really did improve the way the wig looks.

She looks so pretty! You did such a great job fixing her up, she does look a lot better, especially her hair!

Nice job fixing up Leah! Sorry about her foot but I think she has many nice qualities and I agree it makes her an affordable addition to someone’s collection. I love fixing up dolls too. It’s so satisfying! I use my own shampoo and I haven’t found getting the wig cap wet to be an issue. The worst that can happen is the wig could loosen and it can always be glued back. This has never happened to me though. I actually love your tip of picking out the fly aways. What a great idea! She turned out beautiful. Leah has beautiful eyes. Very good video 😃

You did such a great job! I'm getting up the courage to repair and restore a lot of my old dolls, and this is very inspirational. Thank you!

I think she came out great ! These are my fav videos so I definitely enjoyed 🥰 honestly, a customized Lea doll would be so perfect. Lea is one of my favorites. I would be so curious to see what you would do during customizing her!😍

You did a great job of restoring her ❤ I almost always wash doll hair when I get pre-owned dolls. I’m super allergic to mold, so when dolls have that slightly musty smell from being in storage I end up sneezing and itching. Just washing the hair and giving their body a good scrub with a magic eraser fixes the problem. I like using a synthetic wig shampoo for their hair, it makes their hair really shiny.

I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work, this video is great! Good job! ❤

100% better! She is lovely!

She looks great, well done! Lea is my fave AG doll :)

Awww what a glow up!! Super impressive! Now I think I need to try and find that sofias brush. Cuz it's so much bigger - looks easier to work with. You did an amazing job! So disappointing about the foot :( you should do whatever you think is best, I'd say if you want to customize her, maybe do that in a way you're interested in and then if you want to accept offers do that!

You did a wonderful job restoring lovely Lea! She looks almost like new to me now. Thanks for sharing your helpful tips and tricks! ❤

Wow!! She is one of my favorite dolls and you brought her beauty back!! ❤

beautiful work Evelyn!!!!

She looks beautiful you did a good job keep her

LOL! Based on your description of Lea's previous owner, I imagined a gready, untidy man, who has very furtive eyes.

She looks gorgeous! What a lovely transformation. I'll be curious to see what you decide to do with her. :) Thanks for sharing!

She’s gorgeous ❤

You did an excellent job! 11:47

She turned out great! The nit picky plucking is a good tip!!! I didn't think of using tweezers for that. Have you seen that tiktok dead end hair trimmer? I wonder if it would work on doll hair 🤔

You made a very good restore: the doll came back in almost perfect shape and is really l♥vely; I'd purchased it from you if it weren't that I live in Italy and the shipping would be more expensive of the doll itself. If you ask me, keep the doll and take care of her: after been badly threated by the previous owner, she deserves to have someone who gives her a lot of l♥ve.

I think you should keep her, thank you for sharing

I'm fixing my Lea up right now too. I just need to shampoo and restyle her hair. I might add a touch of conditioner too since her hair is pretty dry and frizzy at the ends. I still only paid $60 and am one step closer to completing her collection. My TM 65 though is not as I expected. I didn't realize her tag was like ripped off of her body (luckily the body is in tact) and her hair was cut. None of this was mentioned by the seller. I have a new wig coming, I'm just waiting for my magic erasers to show up and than all of my preowned girlies are getting a wash. And pretty much all of them need a resting hehe. But I love my collection and I can't wait to make everyone look brand new
