1974 Funtime Sindy
*Sigh!* Now I've done it... I ruined a rare Sindy's hair...
First a little information about the girl in question.
'Funtime' Sindy has a head made from very hard vinyl and is marked 033050X. The quality of her hair is fragile and she was made in blond only. She has a slimmer body compared to previous years but is still marked O.D. MADE IN HONG KONG and 033126X on the shoulders and 033127X on her bottom. The limbs are from very hard vinyl but the legs have a wire inside and can pose.
*******************************************
She had shoulder length frizzy hair when I got her. (scroll up and see how short it is now) So I decided to give the edges a little perm. I used hot water from the tap, just like I normally do when the hair is unfamiliar to me.
Nothing happened. It was straight and stood out like an umbrella from her head.
I rolled it upp a little tighter this time. All the way up in fact. I boiled some water and dipped her in.....
BrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrK!!!!!!!!
The hair shrunk in an instant and glued itself to her head like a helmet, only the rollers stopped it from disappearing entirely I think. I rinsed her quickly in cold water and bent up the hair to remove the rollers.
After drying my tears, I tried to brush it out. This is what remains. It's shorter in the back.

So to all of you who longs to boil your dolls. Don't.
