Boo’s Barbie dolls were not looking that great.  (Especially Birthday Party Princess) Recently they spent a morning at the Lil Blue Boo School of Beauty. Here’s how to give your own Barbie dolls (and other dolls with similar hair) a makeover:

Step 1: Mix 1 part water to 1 part liquid softener. Step 2: Soak your doll’s hair in the mixture until thoroughly saturated. Step 3: Hold the head of the doll tightly to prevent hair loss. Starting at the ends of the hair use a plastic or metal brush and begin brushing. Step 4: Brush until you have removed the tangles.

(Note: You can cut a little cape from a paper towel to preserve some of Barbie’s dignity)

Step 5: Once all the tangles are removed, rinse the hair with a mixture of 1 part distilled white vinegar to 1 part water. Repeat if necessary. This will help remove any residue in the hair. Step 6: I use a dog coat conditioning spray (I used to use it on my horse too!) and spray into the hair. Step 7: This will leave the hair with a silky finish and sheen that prevents tangling. Step 8: Carefully brush out the hair with a fine tooth comb.

Step 9: Lastly cut a square piece of paper towel and wrap the hair carefully and press it flat.  This will help reshape the hair. Let the hair thoroughly dry.
