WARNING: A barbie's hair cannot be blow waved

Gioia spent Saturday morning grooming her newish princess barbie.  Mind you I dont think she is the real deal.  She did cost more than a two-for-one cindy doll.  Bean bathed her and washed and conditioned her lovely lady locks.  I then set up the hair dryer for her in her room. Ten minutes later I came in to supervise on the makeover.  Boy, was it an extreme one.  Most of her combable hair had melted into a solid lump on the one side of her teeny pink head.  Gioia thought some more conditioner would do the trick but I knew better.  I suggested she pretend to be that hair cut lady and with her penguin pair of scissors relieve the doll of her once bum-length coif.  At first Gioia had a real problem doing this as she knows it won't grow back, but with just enough encouragement and prompting she zapped it off.  Doll looks like she survived zeclon B.
