How to Get Hairspray Out of Barbie Hair

Barbie dolls encourage the use of imagination in play. Although, at first glance, you might not think there's much a child gains while playing with Barbie, the popular doll is a good learning tool. Manipulating Barbie strengthens fine motor skills and making up play scenarios for her and her friends engages creative thinking skills. If your child or student has been pretending to be Barbie's hair stylist, you might find the doll's hair stuck together with hairspray. While you must clean Barbie carefully, you can successfully get hairspray out of her hair with proper cleaning supplies and procedures.
