Instructions

1. • 1

     Dampen the doll's hair with water using a spray bottle. Make sure the spray bottle is on a fine mist setting. You do not want to soak the doll's hair.

   • 2

     Condition the doll's hair with a quarter-sized dollop of conditioner. You can use more if needed. Only condition the doll's hair that is tangled or matted.

   • 3

     Use a wide-tooth comb to start to untangle the mess. Begin combing at the bottom of the mat or tangle and move upward as the hair becomes untangled.

   • 4

     Use a fine-tooth comb on the doll's hair to get out the smaller tangles. Brush through the doll's entire head of hair with the fine-tooth comb to ensure you did not miss any tangles.
