How to Detangle Doll Hair Tutorial





how to detangle doll hair tutorial

 My daughter had quite a few dolls that after a while had hair that was all tangled up and frizzy and looked unfixable.  I thought there must be a way to fix these dolls to make them look better!  I did some research on Google and found that there were a few recommended ways to fix this. I decided to follow the way that seemed easier and involved using things that I already had in the house!
So if you are interested in how I managed to fix my daughter's doll hair here is my tutorial which is very easy.

Step 1: I used a large bowl and filled half full with luke warm water.
Step 2: I added 1 cup of fabric conditioner to the water and mixed.
Step 3: I placed the basin onto a table and placed a small towel beside it.
Step 4: I placed the dolls hair into the bowl of solution and left for about 30 minutes.
Step 5: After making sure all the hair had been wet I removed the doll.
Step 6: I towel dried lightly the hair and using a normal brush I brushed through the dolls hair. The brush went through much easier.
Step 7: I allowed the hair to dry and my daughter then styled the hair.

The dolls hair now smells really nice too because of the fabric conditioner that I used.

    1. waalaikum salam sister, I am sorry that you are not impressed. A lot of posts that I write are creative things that I have made but I also post a few things that are ideas for things that we come across in life. I have thrown away many dolls in the past because of the hair being matted, and I wish I had known this solution many years ago so I thought I would share this with my readers.

  7. As salamu alaykum wa raghmatullah, How sad that my mother did not know this at the 80, and finally, the doll looked so ugly that in a careless of my mother I picked up the scissors .... and jas jas jas .. ...... ... in the end, all had the appearance of boy.
