How do you untangle American Girl doll's hair?

First, fill the spray bottle with half warm water and half liquid fabric softener and shake it to mix well. Lay a towel on a firm surface (I use our kitchen counter) and lay the doll on the towel with the hair spread out.

Can you wash an American Girl doll's hair?

American Girl dolls have soft cloth bodies that should not get wet or they run the risk of developing mold. The first step in washing your doll's hair is to undress the doll. Little hands can do this. Place a washcloth across the doll's face to protect her eyes, which will rust if they get wet.

Is American Girl doll hair real human hair?

Hair. American Girl doll hair is actually a wig, firmly secured to her head. It's similar to the high-quality wigs created for real people. Made out of a blend of mod-acrylic fibers of different colors and textures, it maintains styles well and creates a rich variation of colors just like on a human head.

How do you clean vintage doll hair?

Wash the hair with baby shampoo or hand dishwashing soap, rinse thoroughly and comb into place. Take a knee high stocking, twist the closed end to make a cap that fits around the doll's head, and carefully put it over her hair. The water will wick away through the nylon and leave the doll's hair set in place.
