About this deal
For easier brushing, braid the hair after playtime and undo the braid later — this can keep hair smoother between washes. Maintain brushing routinely to prevent excessive tangling.
Use only mild cleansers like baby shampoo or fabric softener on doll hair. Harsher products could be too abrasive and cause breakage. Always rinse thoroughly after washing. Detangle hair gently, starting at the bottom and working up. Never force a brush through knots or it may pull out hair. Undo bigger tangles carefully with your fingers first. When washing a doll with moving eyes, wrap plastic around the head to keep water away from the eyes. Getting the mechanisms wet can cause rusting or other damage.
