Things You'll Need
Instructions
Start with a picture or a sketch of the hair style you want to recreate on your doll, especially if you are doing a style you have not done before. Styling a doll's hair can vary greatly from doing the style on a full-sized person because the details are more intricate and small, so you should give yourself enough time for preparation and execution.
Gather all of your styling tools before working on the doll's hair. Use small hair care tools such as a comb or even a doll-sized brush. Using a smaller precision tool will make it easier to comb the doll's hair and create a pint-sized style.
Clean the doll hair if there is any residue on the hair or you think the final look will be better complemented by shiny and clean hair. A Dolly's World recommends using an all-purpose spray cleaner or wig cleaner on damp hair to achieve the best results.
Brush the doll's hair thoroughly to remove any knots or tangles from the synthetic locks. Consider adding a spritz of children's detangling spray if you need extra help to smooth out any unruly hair.
Manipulate the clean hair into the desired style you want to achieve. You can use small fasteners such as miniature elastic bands or bobby pins to secure any loose hairs and create your cute doll hairstyle.
