I have 5 daughters which means we have copious amounts of all things girl! I got tired of fighting the barbie explosion and I put the barbies away in the shed. The original plan was to just take a break for a while. The girls kept asking periodically to get them back and my response every time, "Keep your room clean, then we can talk." Well, they finally did and I wanted to pare down before returning them.
I also wanted to try out a pin a saw. Tammy at Housing a Forest had a simple fix for frizzy doll hair. Before "retiring" the ratty haired barbies, I wanted to see if I could spruce them up.
The fix was simple. Brush out the hair the best you can. Soak the hair in really hot water. Brush again and let the hair dry. It worked like a charm! I have to admit that I used a little detangler on the tough ones.
The girls were excited to enjoy their barbies again and to be able to actually brush hair too. Next time I'll involve the girls and not wait until there is such a mess.
