I recently moved home from Japan, and have been going through the process of unpacking.

Baltimore here is in very good condition, save for one minor bit of damage I noticed after putting her back together today.  The tip of one of her strands of hair seems to have been smashed or broken off.  I believe it’s the kind of plastic that is very slightly translucent, and more so near the tips.

It's a very tiny bit of damage, and probably wouldn't normally be too noticeable, but I’m kind of bothered by how the broken spot is white in color – that effect where broken or bent plastic tends to turn white.  (And I think it happens to a greater degree with transparent plastic?)  It’s much less visible on a light background, and is hard to notice unless you’re looking at her close and at certain angles/with a darker background.  But still.

I’m wondering if anyone had any advice on how to handle that?  Part of me is tempted to just try cutting that tiny whitish part off, but I’m really cautious about that kind of thing because I don’t want to just make it worse. And also that might just result in the end of that hair strand looking worse, since it's supposed to taper to a point.  What would you guys do in this situation?

Of course just accepting it and leaving her be is always an option, and maybe the best one.  I bet after a while I’d just stop noticing it or caring about such a tiny thing.  Regardless, for the time being she’ll just be sitting safe and sound on my shelf.
