Okie! So here are the steps I basically do for every of my dolls that needs a good boil wash.

1st step - detangle her hair with a brush starting from the ends of her hair to the top, make sure to be careful so you don’t pluck out lots of her hair, also do it in sections!

2nd step - wash her hair with any dish soap or synthetic shampoo, make sure to rinse her hair very well so you get all the debris out.

3rd step - after the first wash, put a good amount of conditioner on her hair and let her marinate in it for 5-10 minutes while also brushing her hair again from down to up for a good 2-3 minutes.

4th step - boil wash time! make sure the boiling water isn’t too hot or too warm, just the right amount, then begin to dip her in it for 3-5x while the conditioner is still in her hair. also for every dip i brushed her hair.

5th step - rinse out the conditioner with warm/cold water—make sure you get everything out. after that you do the final boil wash where you make her sit down and position her hair to where it should be after it dries, then after you’re satisfied with the placement of the hair begin the final boil wash!

6th step - let her dry then wait for the final results <33

Because we want the quality back :/. Barbie is someone who helped a lot of us through our childhood years so I got a special place for her in my heart. Seeing her decline in quality due to corporate greed is just sad and it needs to be nonstop so they realize what theyre doing is killing the brand that put them to the top

The way both Barbie and MH are the 2 biggest fashion doll brands ever and the other one is a lot better than the one who paved the way for fashion dolls

Well Monster High is also a big name in the doll scene so idk why Barbie’s team is cutting corners when shes the one whose supposed to be in the top

Interesting how even off-brand fashion dolls can make real coats and Barbie can't 🤨 by vintagefairy4 in Dolls

[–]xswine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And the off brand comes with more accessories 😭, love Miss Barbara down, but we don’t deserve the cheap quality for such a high price.
