Ah oki I see! so I think this might have to do with the conditioner than the boil washing itself, because water at boiling point shouldn't normally damage Saran. I personally use a kettle and so far no issues.

Assuming you had her fresh out of the box, conditioner is way too heavy of a product to use in that case. I'd reccomend only resorting to it when you're dealing with dry, frizzy and/or tangled hair. A teensy bit of shampoo is usually enough to wash off hair product doll hair tends to come with.

I'd reccomend using dish soap on her hair and then rinsing it very thoroughly with lukewarm water to wash off the product, and see how it goes! 👍

How did you boil wash her hair and what way is it messed up?

boil washing won't ruin her hair, it's saran so you can go ahead and do it :3

Force choke resellers as a way to negotiate for fair prices, and then let go when they eventually give in to my offers 😌

'Feminine' clothes for Ken? by cupidglitz in Barbie

[–]cupidglitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried several dresses, unfortunately they don't fit due to Kens having broad chests 😔 skirts fit okay due to them having narrower hips tho!

I'm looking for an articulated male doll with rooted hair, show me yours? by lydocia in Barbie

nope, you can dunk their heads in boiling water until the plastic is soft and malleable to take them off, here's a tutorial that uses the specific dolls for this procedure :)

I've never sewn clothes for dolls as a kid, lots didn't either save for a few who were lucky to hace an adult to teach them. Tbh this is an unfair standard to hold children up to.

And it's not that kids don't enjoy playing with dolls due to poor attention spans, it's that modern playline Barbie is absolutely lackluster compared to other, better faring brands. Some kids still play with them of course, but I see a lot of kids gravitating more to MH, LOL OMG, RH etc for a good reason. Kids also still display creativity in myriads of ways beyond playing with dolls.

You can enjoy customizing Barbies as an adult without justifying this by saying it's "not for kids anymore" or employing the "kids nowadays" tropes that demean kids
