A Schoenhut wig repair.

 This is a nice little doll made by the Schoenhut company.
Her wig looks a little weird.....too thick bangs.....
......and two different colours of hair.

Someone has glued a brunet hairpiece on top of the remnants of a dirty-blonde wig.














So, off comes the brunette hairpiece.

Here is what is left of this doll's original wig!















You can see her original cotton wig cap nailed on to her head and one lonely weft of dirty-blonde mohair still partially circles her head.
It seems she originally had a bobbed hairstyle.
It is good to keep dolls original when possible.
This poor wig can be spruced up by adding wefts of dirty-blonde mohair.











All her mohair is a similar colour now.
The 'new' wefts were harvested from an old ragged wig.
