    Next time (if you do this again), I’d suggest a boil wash for her hair! All you need to do is boil some water, put it in a pot/bowl that’s big enough to dunk her hair in, and dipping the hair three to four times depending on how damaged it is. The hot water helps smooth out the plastic fibers and really does the trick. You can even do one boil with fabric softener and/or a bit of conditioner

      A steamer is a safer option so it doesn’t stretch the fibers.

      So I did boil the water, but I think I let it cool too much before doing the dunk. I got a bit scared about melting her hair 😬

    you just gained yourself a new subbie 😊 love the full grey's anatomy on kristin HAAHAHHAAH 😂 i do hope donor girl is fine after having her arm "sawed off" 🥹 you're hilarious and fun to watch, please do more AG vids and all that you do 😂🫶🏽 also, for the frizzy flyaways, you can dilute some gel with water and spray it on a toothbrush or directly on the hair and brush them down or dunk the toothbrush in the solution and brush down ☺️ honestly makes a whole difference too, love your channel ❤

      Hahaha tysm💖 I’ve got at least one other AG video in the works! Great tip on the gel… are you still able to brush through the hair after using that method?

      @@janinagans sure thing ☺️ yaaay, excited to watch it 🫶🏽 yes, still can because you aren't directly globbing the gel on her hair, you're thinning it out with water so it's not as strong or as sticky but at the same time, it does the job in holding the flyaways ☺️ you're welcome ❤️

    Also, I agree that using a steamer gently on her ends they should smooth out more. Be careful not to blast them with steam too close or the fibers will partially start to melt and have a crimped appearance. They'll be silky smooth but better to do in small increments so not to damage

    You did a great job, but there is one rule that you should never violate when it comes to AMERICAN GIRL dolls. You are not supposed to use via brush because your hair has oils and your putting the oils into the dolls hair because you used to brush.

      Also always use water bottle to spray down hair before you comb it 😊

    • @msvates
      @msvates 28 днів тому

      Yes, Never dry brush( without spritzing with water) your doll's hair. That's what probably caused a lot of the "frizziness" to bhin with. It's awesome that you did a lot of research and so your video was very informative ❤
