If you’rea Monster High doll collector, you probably don’t need to be told that to keep these dolls looking fabulous, a lot of attention needs to be given to their hair, especially if they want to look amazing on all their spooky adventures.
However, one does not simply wash a Monster High doll’s hair since they’re usually made using polypropylene, a particularly challenging synthetic material. Rest assured, today we’ll cover exactly what you need to wash Monster High doll hair, what process you should follow, and what you should avoid doing for the best results.
What You’ll Need
Before washing your Monster High doll’s hair, you’ll need a few things:
Preparation
Now that you have everything you need to begin, you’ll want to prepare the area where you’ll work. To do that, you can:
Detangle The Hair
If you’ve never worked with polypropylene hair before, you’re not likely to know this, but it can break and tangle quite easily. If there is a knot or two, use a wide-tooth comb to prevent further damaging the hair.
The easiest way to detangle the hair to prepare it for a wash is to begin detangling at the ends. This is a much less frustrating and damaging process than starting at the roots, and beginning at the ends allows you to avoid tangling the hair even more. If you’re having trouble, you’re able to even use something like a detangling spray.
Wash The Hair
Remember, when washing the hair, you should always use a gentle shampoo and lukewarm water.A general rule would be to play it safe and use baby shampoo. The washing process is something like:
If you have an older Monster High doll, you’ll want to be very careful around the face when washing. For some reason or other, the paint on their face might come off. Having a faceless Monster High doll doesn’t sound appealing, does it?
Condition The Hair
While this is an optional step in the washing process, it is an excellent habit to get into because conditioning the hair maintains its appearance and quality. It’s also great for detangling the hair.
Dry The Hair
You can dry your Monster High doll’s hair using two methods:a soft towel or air drying.Both are perfectly fine if done correctly.
When using a towel, it’s critical todab the hair gently and avoid rubbing at all costs, as this can lead to frizzing, matting, or knotting. In addition to patting, you may also use a towel to squeeze any excess water from the hair softly.
You must be patient if you decide to let the hair air dry. This process can take some time, and it’s a good idea to avoid placing the doll in the sun to speed up the process, as this can cause damage to the hair. Instead, finda well-ventilated area that’s a comfortable, cool temperature and let the hair dry naturally.
