How to Make a Doll's Hair Shine

After years of sitting stale in a closet or after stains from playing, a doll's hair often needs some sprucing up. Regular washing can go a long way, but it doesn't generate the shine that your doll had when you made the purchase. A few handy tricks will not only get the shine back into your doll's hair, it will also keep it protected from further damage, keeping it shiny for years.

Things You'll Need

Shampoo
Conditioner
Plastic bag
Towel
Nontoxic vehicle paint protector
Doll and wig cleaner or window cleaner
Child detangler
Brush

Instructions

- 1
  Wet your doll's hair with water. Rub it with shampoo and then rinse. Rub it with conditioner and then rinse. Allow the hair to completely dry.
- 2
  Place the doll in a plastic bag with only her head exposed. Cover the face with a towel.
- 3
  Apply several sprays of the paint protector on the doll's hair from about 2 feet back. Brush the doll's hair.
- 4
  Apply window cleaner or a doll and wig cleaner as an alternative to the paint protector. The wig cleaner requires you to wet the hair before applying the cleaner. Spray on a child detangler and then let it dry. Brush the hair.
- 5
  Style your doll's hair into whatever fashion you want. A doll's hairstyle is only limited by its length.
