Dolls are favorites of children and collectors. Their fine hair and beautiful costumes can be a delight to the eye. Yet, poor storage, frequent handling and also atmospheric conditions like heat and humidity can cause a doll's hair to become frizzy. There are a few ways to deal with this problem. Let's work on your doll's frizzy hair.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Baby Shampoo
  • Wig Shampoo
  • Hair Detangler
  • Baking Powder
  • Comb
  • Brush
  1. Step 1

    Wash your doll's hair with baby or wig shampoo. Let the shampoo sit in the doll's hair for a few minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Sprinkle some baking powder into the doll's hair. Mix it thoroughly with the shampoo.

  3. Step 3

    Scrub the doll's hair gently with the shampoo and baking powder mixture. Rinse out fully.

  4. Step 4

    Comb the doll's hair. Let dry and comb again or use a brush.

  5. Step 5

    Use hair detangler if you do not have baking powder. Rinse out the shampoo and then apply the hair detangler. Wash out the detangler and proceed to Step 4.

Tips & Warnings
  • Try to store dolls in a place that is not excessively humid. Keep your doll's hair from being soiled. Make sure children's hands are clean before they play with the dolls.
  • Adults should supervise children during these operations. Wig shampoo or detangler can get into children's eyes.
