Factory Braids and Buns

I imagine that the workers at the Mattel factory got bored creating top knots and ponytails day after day. For this reason we see some unique original hair styles every now and then.  

Braids and buns can probably be found on any of the ponytails #1 - #7, though I have only seen these styles on ponytails #3 - #7

Unless the doll has never been removed from her box or still has both of her original rubber bands in her hair, it is impossible be 100% certain if a braid or bun you see on a ponytail is original (from the factory) or if a child or adult created the style long ago.

Below are some braids which I have photographed that are, in my opinion, likely to be original to the doll:

1.  Brunette Ponytail #3 with a braid:

2.  Brunette Ponytail #4 with a braid:

3.  Blonde Ponytail #5 with a braid
(When she arrived she still had her original upper and  lower rubber bands):
