Hello doll lovers!! About a month ago I found these dolls at my local salvation army, they were .59 a piece so I decided to save them. The ken is a generic fashionista, the brunette barbie is sweetheart barbie and last is queen amidala royal elegance (this doll has her complete outfit except shoes, head dress and a round hair piece).
I cleaned and washed their hair as usual (I will leave the instructions at the bottom of post). I dressed ken in an outfit I got from the dollar tree recently, I had to put a rubber band on his head because his hair did not want to stay down. I put a 90s fashion pack dress on the sweetheart barbie (I thought the rose on the side matched her necklace and earrings). Of course the queen amidala had her outfit so I put her back in it (I like to put my dolls in original clothes if I have them). I was happy with how they turned out and really like the queen amidala one.
(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.)
