Hello doll lovers!! Pulled two more of my dolls from storage to make them over. These are two monster high dolls from the skull shore line. There is Draculaura she is in pretty bad shape, very dirty and her hair needs help. Also my favorite ghoul is Ghoulia, she is in very good shape, hardly any dirt and her hair is still in it's original style.
I started with the hair again, by spraying goo gone on it, massaging it in and leaving it for two hours. Then I washed their bodies and hair like I always do (instructions will be at the bottom of the post). I had to wash their hair several times to get the goo gone out of it. I also washed their shoes and accessories the same way I wash their bodies. They turned out awesome. I love Ghoulia so much!! I have two more girls from this line, I'm hoping to find the other three to complete the set. That is the best part about thrifting, looking for whole collections!
(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.)
