Sorry for the long delay, busy weekend with the holiday and everything. I'm gonna say right off the bat I'm not an expert and I haven't tried many of the methods that people recommend for restoring dolls. I'm going off of what I've heard/seen other people say to do. For more accurate instructions I'd say go through KZitem and look for "Doll Restorations" or "Barbie Restorations" as there's a lot of people that have way more knowledge on this subject than I do, but I'll give you the knowledge that I have. For the hair if you're looking to restyle it, first remove all accessories and clothes off the doll and with a cup of very hot water you want to dunk the doll's hair into the water for about 30 seconds. Be careful though not to leave the doll's head in the water too long as the heat can melt the glue that holds the hair in place. Then while it's hot and wet you can proceed to style the hair with curlers, hair pins, clips or elastics to help it hold it's shape. I've heard that it does take some practice to be able to do it right and sometimes depending on the type of the doll hair that's used, it may not style as easily. As for the face itself, if you're looking to remove scuffs or pen or paint marks on the face, first try soap and water to see if any of it is washable. If it's not coming off and if it's not in a place where there's already paint applied such as lip color, eye color, eye brows, or blush you can try acetone or nail polish remover with acetone in it, but this can be very abrasive and doesn't work with all types of plastic as it can melt the plastic, so do your research before hand. You may be better off getting acrylic paint and just trying to match the color and hide the mark. I've heard a lot of people mix their acrylic paint with a little bit of water to make it less thick and to be able to do thin layers of paint so that in the event they mess up or the color isn't quite right, they can easier wipe it off or go over it again with the correct color once it dries. That's about all I got. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but if you have any other questions, let me know!
