Madison here! Ooh, I love this style so much! With all this talk about a new Historical Character from AG from the 1950’s, I just had to show you all an adorable 1950’s-looking-hairstyle!
Note that this hairstyle works best on non-super-curly haired dolls with bangs.
A Brush
A mister, if you want to rid the frizzies
A couple of bobby pins
And two hair elastics.
Brush your dolls hair completely, misting it to make sure it’s not super frizzy.
After brushed, separate your dolls hair into two even sections.
Now braid one of the sections. If you do not know how to braid, AG can show you. Click here and scroll to the bottom of the page.
After braiding, tie off with a hair elastic. Repeat with the other section of your dolls hair.
Take a braid and pull it to the front, then take the little puff of hair sticking out from your doll braid and gently pull it back to the very start of the braid, like shown,
With a bobby pin, insert it in place. (don’t let your bobby pin hang halfway out! In the picture, it’s only halfway in.)
Doesn’t this look so cute? You can leave it like this, or…
Gently sweep the braids so the side and up..
insert a bobby pin for extra cuteness (the bangs should stay in place, but the bobby pin makes it look…well, cuter! :))
Wear it with a long and floaty skirt, maybe even a poodle skirt, to get the full 50’s look!
Let me know if you try this style on your doll!
Are you excited about the new 1950’s historical character from AG that’s said to come out next year? What are your thoughts on it?

D’AWWW!!! This is TOO ADORABLE! Would this work with Molly’s professional braids? I haven’t taken out my Molly’s braids, and I really want to do this with her! BTW, I made Kit a headband out of fabric and a hair elastic, just like you posted about! :D Gotta say it again…D’AWW!
Aw, thanks! yeah, it would work great with her original braids from AG.
Omigosh that sounds soooo cute! That’s awesome!
~Madison
Her braids work! :) Yay! I’m bringing Kit and Molly with me EVERYWHERE we go on the road trip, because we’re not just going to Illinois, on the way back, we’re going to Pittsburgh! I am so excited! We were supposed to go back in 2011, but major flooding from Hurricane Irene (Everyone here calls it the Flood of 2011) stopped us from going. Luckily, we didn’t get flood damage because we live on this GIGANTIC hill. It really hurt Lancaster County, though. :( I have to let out my excitement.
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAMM!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
I am so going to do this hairstyle on Molly when I get to Pittsburgh. It’s going to be SO AWESOME! :D Oh, and don’t worry about me not talking to you, Madi. I’m bringing my laptop with me, so I can check my dollie websites and talk to you. That’s the coolness of having a laptop, you can bring it with you! Kelly♥
Yay!!
Oh that’s sad :(
HEHE! :D
Awesome!! :D
~Madison~
How cute is this!!! I din’t know if I will be getting the new 50’s AG doll, if there is one! I mean I already have Molly! And I have a retro doll from our-generation!
-Natalie♥TheDollies-
I’ll definitely be getting the 50’s girl. I wrote to AG about it, so it would be like she’s MY doll, you know what I mean? Besides, my mom ♥ the 50’s, so she’d probably be mad if I DIDN’T get her! ;)
I most likely will get her! As soon as I see her I will want her! And my mom ♥’s the 50’s to!! She collects everything retro!
Thank you Natalie!
~Madison~

~Mayah~
Isabelle: 1950s DOLL!! mom can we get her!!! please!!!!!!!
~Isabelle~
Yep! She is really cute! I saw a few pictures of her (unfortunately they were leaked and got removed) and she’s adorable! I don’t want to say what she looks like because I don’t know if it’s bad (cause she hasn’t been officially revealed to the world). Her name will be Grace Thomas from what I have read :)
~Jaclynn~
That hairstyle is really cute, Madi!! I LOVE it!! :D
I am SO SUPER DUPER EXCITED for the 50’s doll to come out!!! She is SO CUTE!!!! I fell in love when I saw the very first picture of her!! :D And the name Grace, so perfect for her. I’ll be calling her Gracie :)
Are you planning to get her, Madison?
~Jaclynn~
Thank you so much Jaclynn! :D
IKR! She is ADORABLE!
No, just Isabelle, Ivy, and #33 for me! :D
