Victory Rolls, once you figure out how they work, aren't that hard to do on dolls, but don't expect them them to hold up through play. I put these in my dolls that I use for modeling. You will need a fine tooth comb and Bobby pins. These are much harder to do on dolls with bone strait hair, but work perfectly with the doll that hair have a bit of wave or curl.


First separate the sections of hair that you want to roll. Each section will be one roll. Comb it smooth, I use hair butter to smooth the hair of all frizzy's and the hair stays soft and easy to roll.
Start at the ends and comb them over your finger for a forward curl or under your finger for an under curl. Both curls are shown, but only the forward curl is shown step by step.
Roll the hair to the base of the scalp. The curl can be as big or small as you want. Some Victory rolls are really big on top of the head, while others are smaller and off to the sides. Put the Bobby pin in, starting at the dolls scalp catching hair beneath the curl and pin the curl through the middle. See pictures for a clearer idea of what I'm trying to say.

The first curl is an forward curl that sweeps the hair off the dolls face. The other two curls, on the sides the first, on top of the head are also forward curls, sweeping off the face. The back I put into a pony and curled it under. In the final pictures I put a bow on the pony, but on this doll in the earlier pictures, she is modeling a headband from a dress set I made and sell on
my Etsy shop, Stink Feet Creations.
