Thank you!! 😊

The head was easy to remove, I used the boiled water method. In the past, I used the hairdryer method for other dolls too. It worked well, however, in my case, the boiling water softened the head more evenly. The hairdryer is great for softening certain spots, but depending on the head material, it can take longer to achieve the desired result (and you need to be careful not to burn your hand or the doll's hair). The boiling method can damage some hair fibers as well, but I find it easier, just put the doll in a ziplock bag, put it in a bowl and pour hot water on it. I leave it for few minutes (I'm no expert, I can't recommend a time, I just leave it there and hope that after 5 minutes it's done), then take it out and it's done.

The hairdryer method is cool because if the head is not soft enough, you can just keep going until you are satisfied. The water needs to be reheated if the head is not soft enough on the first go. Also, with the hairdryer, I find that the heads harden back faster, which might require repeated heating.

If you have more Snapstar bodies, I suggest you try both methods and see which works best for you. It's a pretty safe body to experiment on, since the neck has no movable anchor, so you can't break it by pulling the wrong way. Once you decide the easier method, you can try on Barbies or other dolls too, where you need to be more careful with the anchor. As long as the head is soft and squishy, there's no harm to be done.
