How To Make Doll Hair With Ribbon

I hope yous're ready to become wet because today I am going to show yous how to wash your doll's hair plus style information technology into an adorable bow!

"Which lucky doll will exist the recipient of this new exercise?" you ask.

Everyone, see Blondie Locks from Ever Later High's Through The Forest drove.

I am nonetheless (slowly) trying to finish upwards my Ever After Loftier collection, and Blondie Locks was another character I hoped to get.  However, poor Blondie came with a bad example of messy box pilus.

You tin run across here where some glue has leaked onto the hood of the greatcoat.

So, instead of doing another review, Blondie is going to make her debut by getting a hair wash and cute way:

Supplies Needed:

i. A comb.

ii. Warm water (not boiling).

three. Shampoo or conditioner.

iv. A towel

• Start past wetting your doll's hair with warm water.   There is no need to eddy wash it.  Lukewarm h2o works just fine.

• Once your doll's hair is completely wet, add together a dime-sized portion of shampoo to the hair.

I am using regular shampoo here.  Nil fancy–simply whatsoever brand I happened to purchase last fourth dimension I was at the store.

The main thing to remember when washing doll hair is to avoid using hand soap or dishwashing soap.  Manus soap will dry the pilus out and leave it looking deadening.  Shampoo or conditioner is a better choice because information technology cleans the doll's hair without stripping abroad its smoothen.

Alternatively, if you would rather non launder your doll'due south hair you could try sprinkling it with baby powder to remove grease.  I have never used this method and have no idea how well information technology works simply have seen it done on YouTube and heard it is a bully fashion to get rid of glue that has seeped into doll hair.

• After rubbing the shampoo in, and thoroughly saturating all the icky bits with suds, rinse the hair until the water runs articulate and all the shampoo is out.

• Use a towel to dry the doll's hair, then gently rummage through information technology to remove any tangles.

When yous're combing the hair, attempt to start at the bottom and work your way up to proceed from pulling out too many strands.

Now, your doll has make clean, grease-free hair!

No more glue!

Blondie's hair looks so much better after beingness done.  It'south soft, shiny, and (most importantly) not sticky!

I'm going to set Blondie aside and let her hair dry out a bit more than before starting on the Bow style.

…about 30 minutes later.

Okay, Blondie's hair has had time to dry.  Information technology's still slightly damp but totally ready for styling, then let's get to piece of work on the Bow!

Supplies Needed:

1. A comb

2. Elastic hair bands–I am using these tiny, articulate elastic bands I establish at Wal-Mart.  I prefer clear bands because they blend in improve with the doll's pilus.

• To give your doll a Bow style, carve up a department of hair from either side of your doll's head.  Try to keep these pieces as even as possible.

• Pull the sections to the dorsum and tie the hair into a simple bun using a clear elastic ring.

• Next, dissever the bun downwardly the center to turn information technology into a bow.

Later dividing the bun, yous should have two loops of hair–i on the left side and one on the right.  Pull the loops tight and y'all're done!

Y'all tin exit information technology similar this; however, since I'chiliad a perfectionist and feel this Bow needs some tidying upward, I am going to secure the loops of the Bow to Blondie'south hair using a needle and thread.

Notice I am NOT actually sticking the needle into Blondie's head (ouch!).  I am very carefully sliding it between the strands of pilus so I can pull the loops closer to her head.  When I was younger, I used a similar technique when plaiting my equus caballus's mane before a show.

Once yous're happy with the bow's positioning, knot the thread and snip off the ends.  Then tie a pretty ribbon effectually the bow to hibernate the elastic ring.

Now accept a step back to adore your work!

I am loving the Bow!

If I remember the episodes correctly, Blondie has a happy, bubbly personality and I wanted her new hairdo to reverberate that.  I recollect I accomplished my goal?.

Y'all can encounter that washing doll hair doesn't have to be a complicated process.  Only use products you already take on paw to fix your doll'due south mucilaginous or matted hair and give her a lovey crew!

I sure hope you had every bit much fun reading this tutorial and seeing Blondie's pretty pictures as I did making it.
