Thanks for sharing your experience. I guess I will just display her with her new straight hair. lol. I am hoping to start rerooting a few dolls soon so she could possibly become a project when I am confident at it.
--Previous Message-- : I didn't even boil the water & the ends of : my doll's hair fried. I wouldn't use : hairspray or gel or the stuff the doll came : with- you don't know what it will do to : plastic hair. I've used aloe vera gel. It : will sorta flake off though. To set it I : used pieces of aluminum foil on the ends of : the hair(cut wider than the clump of hair), : rolled it around a skewer (used for : shish-ka-bob)& folded the foil over the : curl while removing the skewer. I set one : with warm tap water, left her for 2 days, : didn't even comb it afterwards, & it's : straight again. Just giving you my : experience. :
