My dolls don’t loose that much hair when I restore them. After shampooing and conditioning, get a spray bottle with a few drops of fabric softener and water. Get a wide-tooth comb. Separate the hair in very small parts. Hold the hair with one hand on the roots and start detangling from the ends slowly and then move up, patiently, piece by piece. Spray the “potion” while detangling. After detangling with the wide comb, use a fine tooth comb. You will detangle dolls without losing that much hair!

My Jewel Mermaid Barbie is finished and your tip about using a Spray bottle with fabric softener was a tremendous help and made the process of dangling her her faster and you are correct she didn't lose as much hair after I started using the fabric softener. It was tedious and I almost thought have I gotten myself into but the end result is she looks almost brand new again. Proface thank you so much for that cause with 2 slip disks it can be painful to restore barbies.

She's so cute. I love the long haired Barbies. She lost a bit of hair in the process but still looks amazing.

Teresa has a special place in my heart. She was the first doll I owned that looked like me. I loved her so much that I kept her from childhood until my 20s when she was forever lost by accident. She was thrown away without my concent :( I still mourn her loss. She was lost along with my one and only Ken doll. He was a collector edition groom Ken that my dad gave me one Christmas day. The Ken groom was accompanied by the red barbie Volkswagen beetle ❤️ which is to this day my dream car.

She looks great, but you’re missing a step that makes the boil wash WORK and LOOK even better! You have too and I can’t stress enough, HAVE TOO brush the hair out with a fine tooth comb directly out of the boil wash before dipping the hair back in any other water. When you just dip the hair back in other water without brushing, it pretty much sets the hair in that place bc it’s plastic, if that makes sense. So, when you comb the hair in a straight style directly out of the boil wash, then run it under cold, it’ll set the plastic hair in that pin straight look that you brushed it into. So comb while the boiling water is still in the hair.

A Thousand Splendid Dolls here on YT has a great vid going over all the different types of doll hair. In that video, she explains that kanekelon hair (which we see often on these 90s Barbies) tends to get matted really easily and fall out in chunks after a while. Judging by the way the hair looked beforehand I’d say that’s probably the type and reason why she lost so much hair in the brushing phase 😅 but she turned out so gorgeous! You did a fantastic job restoring her!!

I got myself MyScene dolls this year (was a long time dream of mine). I got some cheap used dolls in decent condition. So I had to work with their hair a bit. And yeah, when doll starts loosing too much hair is sooooo stressful!! 😬 I was super careful while washing and brushing. My guess it’s just the technique flaw of the old doll factories. Maybe rooting was imperfect and that’s why dolls shed a lot. Modern day dolls shed too sometimes, but not to that extent. In my experience at least.

To help prevent unnecessary hair loss, let the conditioner in for an hour or 2 before brushing. This allows time for all those tangles to completely soften up, and leave the conditioner in while you brush. Otherwise she turned out beautifully !

Oh wow friend cool find. Think I can get the barbie from this line. But you really lost alot of hair. My method with hula hair barbie, Teresa and foam and color barbie along with few others from the hair play 90s girls are that on that dry hair I literally put stay soft / fabric softener on and leave it to dry. The kanekalon fiber tends to be very dry and what I do is separate the hair in smaller sections and brush it out with a wide tooth side. Then I add more softener and brush through and then rinse. I dunno if you'll try it but it's my way of not losing so much hair by just going at it because even if the hair looks that way this method will save so much of it ✨🙌🏽

Well done!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I've thrifted 6 or 7 Totally Hair Barbies and it's taken me about 45 minutes each to brush them out. I lay a doll flat on a counter or table on a towel to brush them out. Me, I don't use hair conditioner, because they don't have human hair. I lay them back in a bowl of diluted fabric softener before brushing, letting them soak for 10 minutes to overnight, depending on how tangled they are or how busy I am.

Hi Arjen! I'd suggest you to use a detangler or a brush instead of a comb 😊 I've used a comb for many years and it was just a nightmare. It's harder and the dolls lose a lot of hair.... But then I started using a brush, and it is so much easier, saves me a lot of time and the dolls barely lose any hair. Of course I still use a comb in the end of the process to make sure the hair is all good before letting it dry If you try it, let me know 💖
