To wash and condition Barbie dolls hair?

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

DD refuses to take hem into the bath with her which I've heard is the conventional method of keeping them clean.

So now I've given them a wee 'Spa' with an exfoliating pan scourer and Detoll, can I wash their hair, should I?

Why do I even care?

Use the tangle teaser if you have one.

don't! It'll go all frizzy and shit. Like dolls you see in charity shops

A gentle comb will suffice. Wash the rest of the doll

I do my daughters barbies hair with conditioner when they get a bit tatty and also her big rosie doll gets a trip to mummy's hairdressers sometimes. I think I may have too much time on my hands to bother about it and to care what they look like!!! lol

They are very grubby - combing won't suffice.

I'm talking dreadlocks that ma have a sugar puff stached inside.

fair enough - yr hardly going to knacker their hair then! Maybe a lil visit to the hairdresser for a crop as well?

Just don't be tempted to use the straighteners on her after her blow dry...

I know this sounds awful but when washed with conditioner on, try banging the head against the sink and then combing a bit more then more banging!!!! A hairdresser told me to do it......Scary!!!!

hahah love it! hanks for the advice!

i will experiment once DC is asleep.

Give them a GI jane and save yourself the trouble

Use fabric conditioner
