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.

Things You'll Need

• Baby Shampoo
• Wig Shampoo

Instructions

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

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

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