Illustrator background issue

Guest
Mar 13, 2023 Mar 13, 2023

I have downloaded a vector of a doll figure and I want to replace her hair accessory with a different one. However, when I remove the current hair accessory, the shape of the accessory seems to have been cut out from her hair (so when i remove the green berry leaves, it reveals the purple background instead of brown hair). How do I revert the hair to how it was before it had the shape cut out of it? Picture1.pngexpand image

Move the anchor posints to where you need them to be.

It appears the original creator did not overlay objects, instead dividing them into separate objects, making it like a jigsaw puzzle. So, there's nothing to "revert to" as the damage is done. If you go to Outline mode, you will see this. Your only recourse is to redraw/fix the shape of the hair to fix the cut out area.
