How to Make Barbie Hair Smooth Again

How To Detangle Barbie Doll Pilus

Sep 9

Ok, so, maybe this doesn't exactly fall under the "organisation" category…but this is definitely an "improvement project". If you have a little girl in your life, chances are you have Barbie dolls and Disney Princess dolls around the business firm. While I was hoping to stave off the idea of Barbie altogether (or at to the lowest degree for a few more years), my iv year sometime can't get plenty. And I have to admit, it's sweetness watching her play with the dolls, dress them up, do their hair and create little story lines. Even her eight yr old blood brother gets into her stories and they play together for hours.

Issue was….their sweet niggling stories had ventured outside the house and into the swimming pool. The redwood trees are in drop flavour and nosotros can't proceed up with the droppings as fast as they fall. After they played with the dolls in the pool, they would forget to bring them back out. The adjacent twenty-four hour period I would find the dolls outside, soaking moisture, and covered in redwood leaves.

Never seen a Barbie doll that'south wet with redwood tree droppings? That's foreign. Luckily you have me to brainwash yous on the real issue this is in the World. Have a look, my friends….

If yous're a Barbie Doll collector, look away. Poor Ariel…definitely non her best days under the sea…

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let downward your hair what happened to your hair?!"…

And if yous know me, you know my sense of sense of humour. I had Way as well much fun (coming up with content for this post. I'm sorry, but does this not await similar a bad flavour of The Bachelor: Survivor mode?….

It's that lost flavour where they battle it out for Ken's dear by surviving weeks on end in a saltwater pool full of redwood droppings?…

Joking aside, those redwood leaves are Non like shooting fish in a barrel to remove. The pilus makes information technology almost incommunicable. And to begin with, Barbie hair in general is pretty much impossible. But I was determined to detect the remedy. And I did!

What Are The ii Products?

Since I had quite a few doll heads to detangle, I put i/4 loving cup of fabric softener into the bottom of a large pot and filled it halfway with hot, hot water. Then I dunked the doll heads, upwards to the neckline, into the pot, similar this…

I positioned them in a manner that they wouldn't completely fall into the pot. I let them soak for about 5-10 minutes…

While they're soaking, permit's play "caption this"….

After soaking, I removed them and brushed through their hair. Each doll took almost five minutes, some less…some more. Rapunzel took the longest at about twenty minutes, but she'due south loftier-maintenance so that'southward to be expected. To hands castor through their hair, I used a hard bristle brush like this…

In one case the hair was tangle-costless, I ran their heads and pilus under hot, hot sink h2o…making certain to go the fabric softener off the doll bodies too. So I left them to sit on the counter to dry overnight…

This was torture for Natalie. She wanted to play with them in the worst way, especially considering their hair was tangle-costless. Only I'd say it was more than torture for me…nothing like making dinner and cleaning the kitchen that nighttime with 9 pairs of doll eyes staring you lot down. Creepy.

Anyhow, Nat was patient that evening and instead decided to lay out their clothes for the next day…
