3 easy ways to untangle doll hair at home

There are quite effective ways to untangle the hair of the doll and give the hair a marketable appearance. It is important to soften the curls - so the hairstyle will remain smooth and shiny for a long time.

Doll with artificial hair

What toys can you wash your hair with?

Kukle Barbie water is not scary. It is made of plastic, and the hair is sewn to the head. Her hair is a synthetic material.

To clean hairstyles with wooden or porcelain dolls will have to be careful. You should not completely dip your head in water.

Before washing hair from natural hair and mohair, make sure that they are stitched. Often this type is attached to glue, like an ordinary wig.

Woolen toys must not be washed.

Wash the doll’s curls by hand and dry thoroughly in a ventilated area.

Combing hair doll

Preparatory Activities

At the first stage, you need to comb and untangle the curls with your fingers, as much as possible. The following recommendations will help in this matter:

  • First, proceed to those knots that can be untangled by hand, and only then use a comb.
  • Comb your hair from the ends, gently rising higher.
  • A wide-tooth plastic comb is a great tool for untangling knots. But if there is a “reanimation” of the hair of a Barbie doll, it is better to give preference to a scallop with small teeth.
  • In curly dolls, you need to comb each curl separately.
  • It is better to proceed with particularly heavy nodes after treatment with one of the agents described below.

3 doll head wash

It is important to know that oils that have such beneficial effects on human hair are dangerous for dolls, because they make them more fragile. Therefore, you can not use shampoo and conditioner for adults.

Consider 3 safe tools that make the task of unraveling the tangles of a toy easier.

Hot water

Doll hair is often made from low temperature plastic. Therefore, under the influence of hot water and a comb, tangled strands can be made more pliable and all roughnesses in the structure can be eliminated.

This method is only suitable for clean, but tangled strands. For curly hair, it is better to choose a different method.

You need to act like this:

  1. Remove the nodes as far as possible.
  2. Heat water and pour into a bowl. Not all materials can withstand boiling water, so use hot water, but not boiling water.
  3. Dip hair and comb. The procedure will have to be repeated many times.
  4. When the strands are smoothed out, dry them with a towel and carry out the final combing.

Washing a doll's hair in a fabric softener

Fabric softener

This method will help to wash ringlets from dirt and give the hair a decent look. There is no need for hot water - which means you can handle curly hairstyles.

The process of unraveling consists of the following steps:

  1. Pour conditioner into a bowl.
  2. Dip the doll’s head in there. Rinse aid should cover hair completely.
  3. Leave for 1 hour in this condition. If the case is severe, wait until morning.
  4. Take out the doll. Comb her. Movements should be slow so as not to accidentally tear a lock out of your head. If the hairstyle is long, try to untangle the knots by hand before using the comb.
  5. Wash the air conditioner under running water.
  6. Wipe the strands with a towel. They must dry on their own.
  7. The final stage is combing with a frequent comb.

Shampoo for newborns

Frequent use of this tool will worsen the structure of the strands.But if you just need to untangle and wash your hair from dirt, shampoo for newborns is perfect.

  1. Pour cool water into a bowl.
  2. Add 0.5 teaspoon of baby shampoo and the same amount of dishwashing liquid. Stir until smooth.
  3. Put doll hair in a bowl. Water should cover them completely.
  4. Massage the strands all the way until foam appears.
  5. Leave on for 10 minutes.
  6. Rinse your head a few times.
  7. Wipe your hair with a towel.
  8. When the hair becomes wet rather than wet, it can be combed. Having shaped them, leave the toy to dry completely alone.

Doll hair processing

If you can’t wet the doll itself

If the doll itself can not be wet, you can only process her hair.

Using a spray gun, a softening solution (water and conditioner in a ratio of 1: 1) is applied to the hair, while they are combed. Then you need to rinse under running water, so as not to wet the hair roots and the toy itself. Comb wet strands. Put to dry so that the hair does not touch the toy.

That's all the tricks of the "rescue operation" to restore the hair of your favorite doll.
