Barbie dolls have been a beloved toy for generations, and one great way to add a personal touch is by coloring their hair. By following this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to color Barbie’s hair like a pro, giving your dolls a unique and vibrant look. So, let’s get started!

Gather your Supplies

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary supplies:

  • Barbie doll
  • Acrylic craft paint in your desired colors
  • Small paint brushes
  • Bowl of water
  • Paper towels
  • Protective sheet or newspaper to cover your workspace

Preparing the Doll

Before applying any color, it’s essential to prepare your doll:

  • Brush Barbie’s hair to remove any tangles or knots.
  • Cover Barbie’s body with tissue paper or plastic wrap to avoid any accidental color transfer.

Choosing the Right Paint

Acrylic craft paint is ideal for coloring Barbie’s hair. It provides vibrant and long-lasting results. Ensure the paint you select is non-toxic, water-based, and suitable for use on dolls.

Applying the Paint

Follow these steps to apply the paint to Barbie’s hair:

  1. Prepare a small palette or use a plastic lid as a makeshift palette.
  2. Add a small amount of paint to the palette, adjusting the quantity based on the desired intensity.
  3. Using a fine paintbrush, carefully apply the paint to Barbie’s hair, starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends.
  4. If you desire a gradient effect, fade the color by using less paint as you move towards the ends of the hair strands.
  5. You can also experiment with different colors by sectioning Barbie’s hair and applying different shades to various parts.

Drying and Styling

After coloring, ensure the paint is completely dry before styling Barbie’s hair. You can speed up the drying process by using a hairdryer on a low-heat setting.

When Barbie’s hair is dry, remove any tangles using a comb or brush. Now you can style Barbie’s hair as desired, whether it’s with braids, curls, or a simple straight look.

Tips and Precautions

Here are some important tips and precautions to keep in mind:

  • Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling paint fumes.
  • Keep water nearby to rinse your brushes or thin the paint if needed.
  • If you make a mistake, gently wash the affected area with water and start over.
  • Avoid using heat styling tools such as straighteners or curling irons on the painted hair, as it may damage both the paint and the doll’s hair.
  • Remember, it’s always best to test the paint on a small section of the doll’s hair before applying it all over.

Now that you know how to color Barbie’s hair, you can unleash your creativity and give your dolls a stunning makeover. Enjoy the process and have fun experimenting with different colors and styles!
