| Tressy "Her hair grows!" |
|
The most wonderful thing about Tressy was her 'growing' hair. Little girls could spend hours not only dressing & playing with Tressy, they could style her hair in hundreds of ways. From the simple bob to complex styles. Tressy looks a dream if her hair is right. Some styles suit some dolls more than others, potty I know but this is true!
With the dolls we find today you can often disguise a less than perfect head of hair with a good style.
Dolls with very little centre hair remaining are best styled with something like the variation on the Beehive as shown here.
this style also hides the plastic on the top of the head if it's showing.
Some second issue Tressy's have a slight colouring to the plastic on the crown to hide it slightly.

This style is created by having the centre strand extended fully, gather the short hair into a covered elastic band. This gives a tiny pony tail, wrap the long hair tightly around, twisting the strand slightly as you go. Secure with hair clips, pins or stitch in place.
I used just one Tressy Hairgrip to hold this in place.

| Tressy had her own hair style book. Most of these styles are fairly easy to reproduce, but it does depend on your dolls hair. I often find a style that works for one doll looks like an explosion in a mattress factory on another! |

This Tressy Salon was sold around the early to mid 1970's it came with the 3rd issue doll in her Salon trouser suit. I don't have a picture of the outfit, but as soon as I do you will see it here!
I had a bit of fun when re-rooting a battered Sindy doll as you can see!

Boxed Hair Glamour outfit
from my own collection
This is my own set, & I remember having one just like it as a child. I loved the smell of the hair styling products, and using the sponge & setting lotion - just like my Mother did with her own hair!
