Introduction:

Dolls are cherished by collectors and children alike. However, over time, their hair can become dusty, tangled, or dirty. To restore the luster and beauty of your doll’s hair, here are three ways to wash it.

Method 1: Gentle Shampooing

1.Detangle the doll’s hair: Before washing the hair, use a wide-tooth comb or a metal brush specifically designed for dolls to gently brush out any tangles or knots.

2.Prepare lukewarm water: Fill a bowl with lukewarm water, and add a few drops of gentle shampoo such as baby shampoo.

3.Wash the doll’s hair: Dip the hair of your doll into the soapy water. Gently massage the shampoo into the hair and ensure that it is thoroughly wet.

4.Rinse with clean water: Fill another bowl with clean, room-temperature water. Rinse the doll’s hair until all of the shampoo has been washed away.

5.Pat dry: Use a soft towel to gently pat dry your doll’s hair and remove excess water without causing tangles.

Method 2: Fabric Softener

1.Dilute fabric softener: In a bowl, mix equal parts fabric softener and lukewarm water.

2.Submerge the doll’s hair: Place your doll’s hair in the fabric softener mixture and let it soak for approximately 5-10 minutes.

3.Comb through carefully: Remove your doll from the mixture and gently comb through her damp hair using a wide-tooth comb or a metal brush specifically designed for dolls.

4.Rinse with clean water: Fill another bowl with clean, room-temperature water. Rinse the doll’s hair until all of the fabric softener has been washed away.

5.Air dry: Lay your doll on a clean towel and allow her hair to air dry completely.

 Method 3: Baking Soda and Water

1.Create a paste: Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to form a thick paste.

2.Apply the paste: Use your fingers or a soft brush to gently massage the baking soda paste into your doll’s hair.

3.Let it sit: Allow the paste to sit on your doll’s hair for about 10-15 minutes.

4.Rinse with clean water: Fill a bowl with clean, room-temperature water. Rinse the doll’s hair until all of the baking soda has been washed away.

5.Pat dry: Use a soft towel to gently pat dry your doll’s hair and remove excess water without causing tangles.

Each of these methods offers an effective way to wash your doll’s hair and restore its beauty. Be sure to choose the method that works best for your particular doll to ensure you do not damage its delicate synthetic or rooted hair fibers.
