The head supports a quantity of conventionally rooted simulated hair and defines a center aperture in the top portion thereof. The torso defines an internal laterally extending post and an aperture positioned on the upper rear torso. A length of simulated hair defines a fixed end secured to the doll's head and extending downwardly through the head and torso and upwardly and outwardly through the centrally located aperture and terminates in a free end. A ring encircles the intermediate loop formed in the adjustable hair segment within the torso interior and a flexible ribbon is coupled to the ring and passes beneath the laterally extending post and upwardly and outwardly through the aperture on the rear torso's surface. A conventional comb is secured to the remaining external end of the flexible ribbon.
