Rit Dye-Chocolate Brown. I was going for darker, but it did turn out quite nicely nonetheless. I guess I can always go over it again. My other dolls better watch out. it was painfully easy. haha

I just prepped as instructed in a pie pan (basically making a tiny sink) and used a toothbrush to get it all the way up to the scalp. Not hard at all. just took some patience & careful application. Rinse & dry. New look!

in 1965 Hasbro made a doll called "Little Miss No Name"

I've grown accostomed to them. I have 10, but will buy more until the house fills up. Here is a group of photos of them.
