Doll hair can become messy and tangled over time, but there are many ways to fix it and make your doll look as good as new. In this article, we will explore 19 different methods for fixing doll hair.

1. Brush gently: Using a soft-bristled brush, gently brush through the doll’s hair to remove any tangles and knots. Start at the ends of the hair and work your way up to prevent causing more damage.

2. Use fabric softener: Fill a spray bottle with a mixture of water and fabric softener. Spray the doll’s hair lightly and comb through the strands to detangle them easily.

3. Wash with mild soap: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap or baby shampoo in water, and gently wash the hair before rinsing it out with clean water.

4. Apply conditioner: Apply a small amount of hair conditioner on the doll’s hair, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off with water.

5. Use a wide-toothed comb: Use a wide-toothed comb instead of a regular comb to prevent breaking or snapping the hair strands.

6. Hair mask treatment: Create a DIY hair mask using ingredients like coconut oil, honey, or olive oil, apply it to the doll’s hair and leave it for an hour before washing.

7. Rag curling: Wrap small sections of damp doll hair around strips of fabric or rags, secure them, allow them to dry overnight. Unravel them gently to reveal beautiful curls.

8. Hot water treatment: Dip the doll’s hair in hot water (not boiling) for a few seconds and gently comb through it to straighten it out.

9. Steam treatment: Hold the doll’s hair above a steaming pot or kettle, taking care not to scald yourself or damage the hair with direct contact.

10. Trim split ends: With a pair of sharp scissors, carefully trim any split ends to refresh the doll’s hairstyle.

11. Hair extensions: Add doll-sized hair extensions to make their hair fuller and longer.

12. Use pipe cleaners: Wrap the hair around pipe cleaners and let it dry to create tight curls.

13. Braid or twist the hair: Braid or twist the doll’s hair into different hairstyles to create a new look.

14. Straighten with an ironing board: Press the doll’s hair flat against a small ironing board, covered with a cloth, while using a low-heat iron to straighten it out.

15. Finger curling: Moisten the doll’s hair with water and wrap small sections around your fingers to create curls.

16. Replace lost hair: Use a needle and thread to replace lost strands of hair by sewing them in at the doll’s scalp.

17. Tame flyaways with hairspray: Apply a small amount of hairspray on a brush or comb to smooth out any flyaways and frizz.

18. Creative styling: Use mini-sized styling tools like curling irons, flat irons, or crimpers specifically designed for doll hair to create unique hairstyles.
