Hello doll lovers!! I was inspired to do a few doll makeovers this past week after my big opening day goodwill doll haul. I could not wait to get these girls cleaned up and their hair washed. I was very surprised to find these girls in a bag for $4 at the goodwill these dolls just came out last year I believe. Of course I always love an instant collection 😉someone told me if you have more than two it is a collection, if that is true I have way more collections than I thought...
I washed these girls like I do my other dolls (instructions will be at the bottom of the post). I washed their hair and put conditioner in it to make it smooth and easy to brush through. I put them in cups to dry because their hair is so massive if you try to set them they tip over. These girls did not need a lot of work they were pretty clean but I think the look better washed up. My favorite ones are the purple with rainbow hair, they are so cute! I am going to hang on to these girls for a little bit but may sell them later on if I can let go LOL.
(If you are wondering how I clean my dolls I use dish soap first then do a wash with some baking soda, I use a tooth brush for both of these steps. I clean their hair with dish soap too and use conditioner that I let set for about 10 min then comb through. For really damaged hair I use a boil wash, which is just some boiling water and you dunk their hair in or can let them set for a bit. All of my cleaning tips came from a YouTube channel called "a thousand splendid dolls" I love their channel and she has so many helpful tutorials. This is how I clean all the dolls and ponies I do restorations on.)
