Bear with me lol Doll rambling :rofl: So, ive been planning for a one day trip out of state to a state park for some fun, and I really want to take my first Monster High Scaris release Rochelle Goyle with me but again i find myself dealing with not ruining her bangs. Theyre so perfect and in a specific factory curl out of the box ever since I got her all those years ago. I dont think I can take her since shes one of my most prized possessions. Thats the reason I want to take her bc shes so special to me but thats also why I cant take her. If we werent going to hike I would, but I cant cram her in my bag and ruin her bangs, nor could I bear to leave her in the car for hours Id be afraid of her gettng stolen. *sigh* I hope she doesnt feel terribly left out :( She has after all been to drive in movies and other places, but still I feel like im betraying her.

This makes me wonder what is everyone elses thoughts on dolls with bangs? As a kid I reallllyy disliked bangs on dolls since longer hairs would get stuck in them and make a mess. Now im not really bothered since I know how to maintain them as an adult. I like bangs but Its situations like these that make them difficult. I think it always boils down to them being easily ruined so thats why they cause such trouble haha. Do y'all have a preference or these same woes?
Do you have a favorite doll with bangs?
What line of dolls are your favorite?

Ive been debating taking my one Rochelle my bestie gave me for christmas in 2020. She gave me a whole lot of MH dolls that were in fix up but still good condition. This Rochelle is also a Scaris Rochelle but her bangs have already been ruined and in box hairstyle taken down. So.. maybe I could quickly fix her up before the trip and take her since I wont need to maintain a factory hairstyle.
Now that said I /do/ have a Rochelle that was released with no bangs but unfortunately her factory hairsfyle has become fragile due to disintegrating rubberbands so ill have to replace the rubber bands before she goes anywhere. I have a bit of a Rochelle army but they all either have bangs or delicate hairstyles.. Perhaps given this Rochelle in need of serious TLC has had a much different life than mine theyll be okay with her going on the trip <3 I also want to make her a cool weather outfit, they can all sharee. I probably sound so weird :rofl::rofl:
 
I like bangs on some dolls. My RH doll with bangs are nice but have so much product in them.
Now my fav doll with bangs is my MH Cleo De Nile doll. I have a army of her. Her bangs can be managed pretty ok with water. With OMG doll it’s a shot in the dark on the bangs. Thanks to the new boxes you can now see who your getting and pick the best one.
I can’t bear to take my Cleo ‘s anywhere for pictures as she might get dirty or stolen.
But over all I think bangs add to a dolls charm.
My BJD dolls you have to really work to keep bangs in order due to swapping out hair and storing it.
 
I like bangs on dolls as long as they’re done well, Barbie often does really weird looking ones but a lot of my Disney dolls have em and look cute :)
This is my favorite doll with bangs, Amazing Ally :purpleheart: (currently dressed up for Halloween)
